There was only one person working so it took some time to get the order but he was very nice and personable. He let people have several tastes and did not limit how many the kids in there were requesting to try. The cinnamon bun doughnut was so good. The prices were a little high as well but that's to be expected in a small business. Take at least $30 to be safe. The Sundaes and Nachos get 3 toppings. There's so many things to keep you coming back to try them all.

There are so many unique options to try, and each one is thoughtful, creative, and truly elevated. Beyond the amazing ice cream, their attention to food allergies really stands out. My boyfriend has a peanut allergy and has never been able to enjoy ice cream from a shop before, only pre packaged options from the grocery store. Spotty Dog goes above and beyond to make sure everything is safe. They use a clean scoop and serve from a fresh container to avoid any cross contamination. Because of these reasons alone we will never go anywhere else for ice cream. Thank you, Spotty Dog. Best ice cream in Richmond!

Intense chocolate and truffle flavors and cookie dough was enjoyed also-delicious end to a meal and it paired nicely with the hot day. Friendly and engaged people behind the counter.

Food: the ice cream was very creamy and delicious! I loved the special flavors they had! And they change the flavors every now and then! So it's fun to try them all. Bathroom: there is no restroom. Price: I thought it was pretty good for the amount you get! It isn't on the cheap side, but you do get a large serving! Service: our server was very patient and nice!

This quaint little space in the middle of a parking lot specializes in "sno cones." They have tons of flavors and offer specialty flavors weekly. My favorite flavor combo is the CoCo-Cay which includes orange, pineapple and coconut . I also enjoy the strawberry daiquiri. The service here is very efficient and it takes less than 5 minutes to get your sno cone in hand. They provide picnic tables if you're looking for a space to hangout while eating your sno cone. Be mindful that they don't take card and they have limited hours.

I've come back more than a few times to try different cupcakes from this bakery, and it has not disappointed! They always have a line when I stop by of people picking up bakery orders or stopping by to grab sweet treats. They have all kinds of pastries and bakery items: cakes, cake pops, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, pies, macarons, pop tarts and even packaged drinks. I've gotten a few different cupcakes from them. My favorites have been the peaches and cream, top hat cupcake, pistachio raspberry and strawberry vanilla. Their tiramisu cupcake, margarita cupcake and the key lime cupcakes all actually tasted so much like the namesakes! Their cupcakes are mostly perfectly balanced sweetness: I haven't had anything that was too sweet. Their cakes look so beautifully decorated, but I haven't tried any. They look so good though! Everything in there are so aesthetically pleasing, and if the cupcakes are anything to go by, I'd say flavor wise, the other items would meet expectations! Definitely one of my favorite places in Richmond to get myself a treat and wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
