I asked what the limited edition or that week's special flavor was and was directed towards salted caramel, which the counter person said was their summer flavor. I enjoyed one scoop of that together with one scoop of the roasted strawberry flavor. Ice cream was perfect and not too frozen, so I could dig in right away. Next time I look forward to trying a "wookie" - some combination that involves cookies as I found out, or an ice cream sandwich. Keep in mind the waffle cone leaks quickly on a hot day and you only get one napkin by default, so ask for a second one if you eat your ice cream slowly.

They keep things simple, offering just a handful of berry flavors made by blending creamy vanilla ice cream with real fruit instead of dozens of flavor options. We ordered the blueberry with the dairy vanilla base and the marionberry with the coconut-based vegan ice cream. I had the marionberry, and I was honestly blown away. It was incredibly creamy, packed with fresh berry flavor, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. My husband and my dad were just as impressed, and we all regretted ordering the small size because it was that good. One thing that really stood out was how thoughtful they were with the vegan option. They thoroughly cleaned the machine before making my coconut-based ice cream, which I really appreciated. It's a small detail that says a lot about how much they care. The person running the cart was very friendly and patient. If you're looking for a shop with 30+ flavors, this isn't it. They focus on doing a few flavors exceptionally well, and it absolutely pays off. We haven't stopped talking about this ice cream since our visit, and it's easily one of our favorite spots in Bend. We'll definitely be back!

Ended up with two scoops in a cup--Ultraviolet (yep, that crazy purple one) and Salted Caramel. Price was $8.50, which is definitely on the higher side (especially when I know the same size goes for $7.50 in LA or even Yellowstone). Still, I can't complain--the flavors hit hard. Ultraviolet tasted like summer in a spoon--sweet, floral, slightly exotic. The salted caramel balanced it out with that creamy richness and just enough salty kick to keep it from being overly sweet. Together? Perfection. Service matters too. The girl at the counter was super sweet, quick, and clearly knew her stuff. That's the kind of energy you remember. There was also a guy behind the counter who looked like he could've helped earlier, but instead wandered a bit before starting a milkshake. Maybe that wasn't his role--but it stood out. The place itself? Classic Ben & Jerry's vibe--bright, fun, colorful. Outside seating with turquoise chairs gave me that relaxed, summer-night-in-town feel. Perfect spot to slow down and people-watch. So yeah, it's pricier than some spots, but when the ice cream is that good and the service leaves you smiling, it's 5 stars. I'd come back just for that Ultraviolet scoop.
