Dark v. Light. Dark Shadow and Honey Lavender.

Amber W.

This is the cutest, friendliest and cleanest little shop. Tons of flavors to choose from. Toppings galore. They have a "bee flight" to try four different flavors. The service was fantastic. The two people working were warm and friendly. Answered all of the questions people had with a smile. They have dog treats! Frozen yogurt for your dog. However, they are not pet friendly in the store (damn health department). This ice cream was so good, rich and full of brownies. My friend got the honey lavender and said it was so good. Just the right flavor notes not to be perfumy but still taste the lavender.

I really wanted to like this spot, but service was super, super slow and the ice cream was only okay. The interior is really cutely decorated with lots of bee motifs and pastel colors. It took about 10 minutes from ordering to when the ice cream was scooped and served. There were a bunch of orders ahead, but the time from "ticket to table" was way too long for my preference. I did like that they offer samplings of any of the ice cream flavors. Pricing is reasonable for the quality of ice cream, but I likely won't be back because I wasn't very impressed by the flavors and I wouldn't want to wait so long next time.

Great atmosphere and service from the ladies up front. Ice cream was top notch and in a great part of town!

Honey Lavender. One scoop because of sensitivities. It's TOTALLY WORTH IT!! I love the service. I was greeted with a smile and had a great conversation with the staff. The theme inside and outside the building was cute. I'm a big fan of bees. I will be back.

Such a cute place , friendly people and delicious ice cream! We will most definitely return!

This was our first visit. We were given the info on all the menu options, sizing, and that they make their ice cream in-house. We sampled a few. My crew loved the unicorn (a good yet subtle cotton candy flavor), mint cookie, butter pecan, crack caramel (toffee amd salted caramel) and monster mash (brownie & cookie mix). Our pup even loved the pup cup we brought home. This was an instant hit for our family amd will be a go-to for future ice cream visits.

Black raspberry cheesecake and vanilla ice cream with toppings

Daniela B.

Nice cute decor spot. They have unique flavors with fresh toppings. I had their raspberry cheesecake and it was tasty and not overly sweet. My son had their vanilla with a few toppings. He ate it all up. Will be back to try other flavors and combo like their affogatos. Nice and quick service. And very clean.

We came here after dinner on a whim! Worth it! If you go to Braza Brava for dinner, skip the dessert (or have it too) and then pop over to Bee Nice for ice cream. This place wowed us! We've had a lot of ice cream all over the country. This is top 5. Time: 7:30 pm on a Saturday evening. Folks were sitting around enjoying their ice cream but no wait for us. Vibes: It's so cute! I love bees and do a lot of work to repopulate and feed the bees. That's partly why my husband picked this place because he knew I'd love the decor. Service: The owner is so friendly and sweet! We can't wait to support her again. The young man working the register was thoughtful and offered samples so we could narrow down. Food: The ice cream is so good, she makes it herself as far as we know! This isn't some mass produced junk that you'll find in many other places. She also has dairy free options. The flavors are so fun it was hard to decide. I was in between the Honey Lavender and the Purple Passion Ube. Both delicious samples and I went with Honey Lavender. It was the perfect night cap! I'll back for the Ube! Hubby got the Cookie Monster ice cream and he was hooked!

Mark H.

I love their ice cream. Bee-yummy! BUT -- Bee-prepared to pay a tip, and a JUNK FEE (convenience fee) of 3.5%. Bee-cause, when they swing that screen around and you choose "SKIP," (as my wife did because a. they are not service employees, b. it's our choice, right?) you will ~NOT~ advance to the next screen, and will also find the fee (see the UPDATE) UPDATE: Also, they charge a convenience fee, placing the cost of their doing bees-ness upon the customer. So -- face a mandatory tip screen AND a junk fee (image included to prove that part). BEE-WARE!! RESPONSE; While I appreciate the concern enough to respond, our experience was that the **only way** to advance to the next screen on the terminal was to select a tip. Pressing the skip button did nothing, so we left a 10% tip just to leave the store with a product. Mind you -- we picked up a tub and received no individual service. Perhaps instead of suggesting customers are lying, you investigate your equipment to make sure patrons like us -- who like your product and can afford it -- do not have a negative experience at checkout.

First time here at Bee Nice ice cream parlor. It was so so good and the quality is definitely 5 stars! My son got the Unicorn and I got Lavender Honey in a waffle cup. We also enjoyed a vintage soda which was a delicious dream-sicle flavor that didn't taste like baby orange aspirin at all which can happen sometimes. If you're an orange soda fan, you know what I mean. I only took off 1 star for 2 reasons... first the cost is a bit much for what you're getting. Our 3 items came to $18. And more importantly, you cannot see the ice cream when you're making your selection which is so odd to me because most people are visual when they're making an ice cream choice I believe, especially when there are so many unique flavor names that you're not going to just know what they are and I'm not trying to have the Dipper describe multiple flavors to me before I decide and hold up the line. The shop itself is pretty cute and my son said it was the best ice cream he ever had... and he had eaten a lot of ice cream in his 7y!

Virginia G.

This place is the cutest, the young ladies behind the counter were the sweetest. I love the low music they play and how relaxed the atmosphere feels. I tried their Cookie Monster Mash & I can't wait to bring my kids to try it. I had never heard of Ube but their purple passion ube was DELICIOUS! She also told me they make their own ice cream and have pints for sale!

I chose two scoops in a cup, one of Cappucino Chip and the other Turtle Cheesecake. They have several tables to sit at, some along a hallway and more in a back room. I took a seat and was in awe of the huge scoops given. The Cappuccino Chip had a mild flavor (I prefer it stronger) but a fair number of tiny chocolate chips. The Turtle Cheesecake had an excellent cheesecake flavor with swirls of caramel, praline pecans, and caramel-filled mini turtles. I'm usually not fond of nuts in my ice cream but I actually enjoyed the pralines. In my humble opinion, there were too few turtles. But I still loved it.

It actually took my wife about ten minutes just to complete the payment for a couple of ice creams, which felt longer than the ice cream itself took to melt. What made it even more uncomfortable was watching how she interacted with other employees. It wasn't just unprofessional--it was the kind of scene you'd expect in a low-budget psychological thriller where you start wondering if someone should call for backup. So while the ice cream itself and the front-line staff were great, the overall experience was overshadowed by the atmosphere at the register. Small, crowded, and unkind is not a combination that brings us back. We'll pass next time.

When I asked if there was any vegan options, the girl starred at me for a few awkward seconds, said "we only have blue bell ice cream which all has dairy" while giving a very dismissive look as if I was clueless. She acted like i was suppose to know that. If you don't have a dairy allergy, then by all means go for this place because they have a lot of options.

As I said, everything was phenomenal. Unfortunately, there is one issue we cannot look past, although we have tried. The bagels are delicious, but they are the absolute wettest, slippery and slidey-est bagels I've ever had in my life. The meal is spent looking down and hoping my beloved or other guests don't see the schmear up to my nose. By the end, we are having to reconstruct our bagel, as it looks like roadkill on the table. It is not a user error, as we eat slowly and carefully. I even have friends who refuse to come back here because it was the messiest eating experience of their lives. It's so unbelievably messy. We have to rinse off in their bathroom before leaving. I have to take my rings off and put my hair up. It's a commitment, one we are not strong enough to make at this point. Delicious, but.... we must bid you farewell, Boss Bagel. Godspeed.

They are super friendly, prices are sensible for craft cookies. I'm a cookie fanatic and while it's hard to pull off the "perfect cookie" these do very well and I'm excited to try more flavors from them. 10/10 would recommend you stop in or find them at the pearl farmers market.

All things in my mind brought this down from a 5 star to a 4. Clean up the tables is definitely something the restaurant has control over. We sat down, and the acetone smell dissipated so either I was use to it or they turned down a shared ventilation system. The food though was the big surprise! It was excellent. We ordered the Special House Bun with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and a crispy egg roll. The proportion of vermicelli noodles to fresh lettuce, carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts and peanuts provide d that perfect bite were one ingredient dominated the other. All the proteins were cooked perfectly. The real winner was the lemongrass Banh mi with once again perfectly proportioned ingredients. We also ordered the fresh spring roll, which never came but wasn't missed except that they did try to charge us for but did remove them. They definitely have some work to make this a comfortable dining experience but I wouldn't let it stop you from trying some phenomenal Vietnamese food.
