The ice cream is creamy and smooth and not too sweet. There is always a flavor for everyone to try! The workers are also always super kind and attentive. There are a few tables and chairs inside to enjoy your ice cream while looking at all the fun paintings on the walls. I recommend checking this place out if you are in downtown Columbia!

For example they had a cookies and cream flavor unlike the common recipe and uses chocolate ice base. I also tried the London Fog tea flavor which was unique and very bright on the tongue. There were a few dairy free and vegan options but not many. You can check their facebook or call ahead to see those selections if needed. The shop offers ice cream scoops in all sizes and even kids eat free with an adult purchase. There is seating in the shop and outside for good weather days. It is pretty accessible as the front door and bathroom doors were light to pull open. The view to see the ice cream selection was at a reasonable height for folks in wheelchairs and kids to see everything well. This shop is very LGBTQ friendly and offers as a great space to gather for everyone who wants to enjoy a sweet treat.

They were out of Moose Track so I ordered the extreme moose track in place. Was disappointed though when I asked for fudge and server said "I mean, I can...." In an irritated tone, then proceeded to scoop off nearly all of the second flavor to put fudge on top. I would have rather her explain to me the issue than charge me for to flavors and give me one. What I was left with was choc chip cookie dough with fudge, which was okay. The ice cream did not stand out as anything beyond what you'd find at a common shop like Marble Slab or Coldstone. A decent local option if you're nearby but it worth going out of your way. Ended up eating maybe half and throwing the rest out.

I asked the very kind (and patient) employee to surprise me with the custard flavor (they have chocolate and vanilla), and when I peeked back I saw her sneak a scoop of each in before whipping it up. The concrete was delightful, with a delicious, high-quality custard base and a perfect ratio of mix ins, with the fruit being ripe and delicious. The old school music had me bopping while I waited for my tasty treat, making it a truly enjoyable (and memorable) experience, in spite of the slight drizzle. I'll definitely be back!

I got the strawberry keto ice cream, which was fantastic. It definitely had less sugar, the texture was amazing, and I was so happy that they had that option in the first place because not many ice cream shops have low sugar/keto/fat free cream options. Then my husband got a blueberry short cake ice cream, which tasted amazing as well, so definitely no regrets for trying this place out even though the rating were low. The shop was clean and the service was great as well. 5/5 stars for this, and if anyone is reading my review, please do not go by the overall star rating. Please go in yourself and give it a try.

The ice cream place is not particularly inviting looking--it's kind of like a clinic inside and it was a bit dirty, but OK. There were two young guys working, and one was very sweet while the other was a bit stiff. Our daughter got some crazy concoction with gummy worms on top so she was thrilled. We each got the gooey butter cake flavor with other ones that we have already completely forgotten, so they didn't make that much of an impression. But we really did like the gooey butter cake version--although it's not as good as the actual version that you can get at Schnucks!! Anyway, three stars, but as we said about the Grand Cafe, it was to be expected, so no hard feelings. We wish this business well.
