“ Such a well done excellence place. Nostalgic, considered that I and many customers are from similar regions that have the taste of these rare fruits hard to find here. Even better when it's in the form of good ice cream!! Their brownie is to die for. Only places to sit outside though. ”
“ One of my favorite ice cream spots in the DMV, known for their unique tropical fruit flavors - definitely try these if you go. My favorites are the lychee, mango, and guava. Super refreshing and creamy, especially on a hot summer day. They do some samples, which is nice. The only thing is the girl working there always seems slightly annoyed. Will definitely be back when I'm in town. ”
“ One of the best options for ice cream in Maryland, with many flavors that you can't find anywhere else like Lychee, Lucyma, and Passionfruit. The portions are huge and the ice cream is flavorful. ”
“ This place is so good! Hands down some of the best ice cream I've had and some of the most innovative flavors I've seen at an ice cream shop. They specialize in tropical flavors from guava to passion fruit to even sour sop. For those who are unfamiliar with some of these ethnic fruits, they also have descriptions inside which is such a nice touch. I had the guava and it was a 10/10. It is a small shop with a few seats outside with plenty of parking. The service was also quick! ”
“ The servings sizes are HUGE! I really appreciated the signage in the shop explaining the different flavors for the more tropical fruits. I also appreciated their offer to taste test two flavors. Soursop - part of my partners order. I liked the taste initially but wasn't a fan of the after taste. It would probably be a lot more enjoyable in a shake because I liked it better when paired with the passion fruit. Lucuma - tried this as one of the samples. I wasn't as big of a fan but I enjoyed the experience. I could see myself trying it again if I ever traveled to Peru. Guava - got this as part of my three scoop order. It was very enjoyable and has a floral undertone to it's taste. Mamey Sapote - got this as part of my three scoop order. I really liked this one. It's not fruity like the others and has a nice warm, cozy taste to it. Not surprising as the signs said it tastes like pumpkin and sweet potato. Passion Fruit - part of my partner's order. Very delicious! Mango - got this as part of my three scoop order. I really like it! Ginger - tried this as one of the samples. It was good! Creamy and then has a wonderful spicy delayed after-taste. ”
“ I haven't been here in a couple of years, but I LOVE the new flavors. I got a cup of the guava and can't wait to get the passion fruit next time. I'm so happy they are diversifying the flavors, but I of course couldn't leave without a pint of the rum raisin. They make their own ice cream so it always tastes fresh and doesn't have that artificial flavor some places have. It's definitely a must try for any dessert lovers who find themselves in the Montgomery county area ”
“ As an ice cream connoisseur, I'm intrigued! I passed by countless times but finally decided to give it a try. I saw tropical flavors I never heard of, like mamey sapote, which really did taste like some version of a sweet potato. It's so memorable since I cannot name an ice cream shop similar to this. The inside is a bit cramped and they only have outdoor seating, but plenty of parking outside. Now being based in LA, AKA food haven central, but haven't found a gem like this. I'll be on a hunt for one! ”
“ Update to 5 stars!!! You must try their Swedish Chocolate flavors. Truly from out of this world. We ended up bringing a quart home :) ”
“ Whew!!! Be careful with this place! You will easily go here frequently with no shame! Yum. Yum and super yum! ”
