Delicious hard crafted, artisan ice cream. flavors are unique, which is what makes this place great. all eco-friendly plates and spoons. indoor and outdoor seating available.
probably the best vegan dark chocolate ice cream!

I asked if they would make me a vanilla and dark chocolate shake, not on the menu, they said no problem. strawberry shake was made with fresh strawberries.

Always room for ice cream! I will be back!!

Great ice cream, handmade waffle cones on premises, smells great while you’re choosing your fav scoop. Located right next to Verve Coffee. A few tables to enjoy your ice cream. My only criticism (if it’s that) is I wish they had more nutty flavors.

This was our first time stopping by to try their ice cream after hearing many good things about it. The folks behind the counter were so nice, pleasant and helpful as we chose what delights to partake in. My daughter and I went with Verve coffee ice cream and German chocolate ice cream in a fresh made waffle cone that was a treat in itself. The ice cream was rich and creamy and delicious! My brother from another mother went with a modern day interpretation of an Affagado consisting of a large scoop of Tahitian vanilla ice cream with a giant shot of Verve espresso poured over it. He loved it! Verve Roasters is right next door if you are craving more Java with your cream.

Talk about fresh!!! The waffle cones were made the day we were there, and the ice cream flavor I had was made the day before with real organic ingredients (no pre-made mixes). My grandson, Finnigan,  kept saying, "it's the freshest cone I have ever had!"

I decided on a scoop of Rocky Lane, and the ice cream server suggested that many people liked it with  Marshmellow Fluff on a waffle cone. So, I thought I would go with their suggestion. OMG, my mouth had a mouth orgasm-- with all of those wonderful flavors and contrasting textures in my mouth all at once!!!

My older grandson enjoyed the layout of the ice cream shop and loved his scoop of Strawberry Sorbet. My 5 year grandson had a hard time keeping his scoop of ice cream off his face, but was able to eat it all without falling on the ground. He creatively used the holes in the table outside as an ice cream cone holder.

Go here for scrumscious, freshly made organic ice cream--made right here in Santa Cruz, and for those crunchy waffle cones made on site. You can eat them in or out of the ice cream shop.

They have restrooms in the rear of the shop to clean the hands and faces of kids of all ages--if the  ice cream eating gets on more than inside the mouth.

Hands down the best vanilla bean ice cream out there. The dark chocolate is amazing too which is shocking because it’s vegan. Been coming here for years and 4 years ago I would have given this 6/5 stars. But now… my god. The portions have gotten so tiny for the price. Like laughable. This is coming from someone who likes to see more than one dollar sign on google to determine the good craft ice cream place. This was $6.50. Unreal.

I wanted to give this Cute Ice Cream shop more stars, but it just wasn't that great. Employees were very friendly, and the smell of delicious waffle cones was heavy in the air. Their ice cream selection is limited and quirky. Just didn't live up to the hype for us.
