Description
Operating in Flushing for over three decades, this parlor offers a choice between designing a custom treat or picking from their pre-made specialty creations, cakes, shakes, and smoothies. The preparation doubles as a performance, with staff using scoops on a wide flat base to swirl mix-ins into your cup or cone. The space is clean and the service is consistently warm, though visitors note that you should expect slow lines and higher prices for the signature quality.
