"The service was very friendly and attentive. The staff was lovely and helped us pick our flavors. The ice cream was so creamy and all four flavors that we got were so good! The standouts were the moose tracks and cherry"
danielle bernstein
"Easy walk in the main area of town in Seward where cruise ships come in and day tours for various things go out.
We didn't enjoy as much as Sweet Darlings but this place served a butterscotch latte, called a Butter Baby, so that scored some points with my wife.
We tried the following flavors and they were all great: huckleberry, mountain blackberrry and bubblegum.
Good service, can't go wrong getting ice cream here."
Mr. Whiskers
"Delicious! Staff were friendly and patient. Most likely others are complaining about them having limits on samples, and expectations for how their space is treated... You have to imagine what they see from tourists, and respect their standards.
If you love agitato like me, get it with the Kona coffee ice cream!"
