Description



While the shop is well-regarded for its wide variety of vegan options and sorbets, the actual experience can feel like a trade-off. Visitors often note long queues and small scoop sizes for the price. Flavor execution can also be hit-or-miss, with reports of poorly mixed batches, though they also stock prepackaged pints to go for those looking to skip the scoop line.
