We stopped by Shakes and Cones after dinner and despite being full, have no regrets! I ordered Jake's Cake Dish with chocolate soft serve. The soft serve was so creamy and full of chocolate flavor. I never would have guessed it's soft serve if I didn't know. It was topped with homemade whipped cream which was also so delicious! The people who helped us were so friendly and made great suggestions as well. They had heaters on for the cool night for the few tables they have outside and it was comfortable and welcoming. We enjoyed our experience and treats and will happily be back!

Portions are very generous, so definitely come hungry (or ready to share). The ice cream stand itself is a walk-up, with fun little touches in the décor that make it feel extra fun.

If you're in Old Town and craving a sweet treat, this is the spot. *Keep in mind, there is only outdoor seating available.

It was 8pm and there was a line but I feel like it moved pretty quick. There was a line last time too. I got a scoop of the Gooey Butter Cake and a scoop of the Brambleberry Crisp in a waffle bowl. My friend got 2 scoops of the Gooey Butter Cake in a waffle bowl and also purchased 2 boxes of the single serving Gooey Butter Cake to take home. Those 12 packs are pretty expensive. I think our total for everything was between $80-90! Highly recommend the two flavors I got though if you come try this place. You won't be disappointed.

We tried two different flavors and I have to say that both of mine were delicious--really hard to pick which one is better! I went with the chocolate peanut butter cup and the dark chocolate, the two really complimenting each other very well. After hearing the backstory of the family that started the business, I would definitely put Cimmino alongside some of the gelato that I tried in Italy. Staff was friendly and while the space is unassuming, it was a perfectly fine place to hang out until venturing out into the desert heat. So why four stars instead of five? They don't do shakes and that's always my favorite way to enjoy gelato.

We sampled a few different flavors and ultimately went with a two-scoop cup of black sesame and ube (the main reasons I wanted to visit), plus a two-scoop cup of Blue Moon and peach. The black sesame had a very strong, rich flavor with a slightly grainy texture that I absolutely loved, you can tell they use real, high-quality ingredients. The ube was incredible and had that authentic, natural ube aroma. It's so hard to find ube desserts that don't taste artificial or rely on weird purple food coloring, but this one nailed it. My husband got the Blue Moon and peach, which were both super refreshing and perfect for summer. Best of all, none of the flavors were not too sweet! I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu!

I came on a weeknight with my parent while they were visiting from out of town. We opted for just some ice cream sundaes to satisfy our sweet tooths. I ordered the buster brownie which was easily enough for two people to share. The brownie was warm & soft and the ice cream was thick and creamy. A melt in your mouth experience. We enjoyed the sit down, tableside service and the ambiance of simpler times. A gem of a spot that I hope never leaves.

Food was ok...nothing special, got a coffee shake and the flavor was more bland than coffee.

Service: The service was very disappointing as our waitress did not come check on us or fill up our waters and we had to ask for the check. I saw her playing in her phone to which she didn't hear when we asked for the check for the first time. Vibe: I like the idea and vibe of the restaurant but unfortunately did appear a little dirty. You can see a picture of the booth we were sat at there was hair sticking to it as if it wasn't cleaned before.

We sat…read morefor nearly 20 minutes before being acknowledged, and honestly, were already thinking about leaving. But what happened after that completely changed the night. The staff didn't make excuses. They owned it immediately, were incredibly genuine, attentive, and went above and beyond to turn things around. By the end of the meal, not only were we glad we stayed, but it became one of the most memorable dining experiences we've had in a long time. The biggest reason for that was our waiter, Cru. Absolute professional. Personable, attentive, thoughtful, and somehow managed to make us feel like we were the only table in the restaurant despite how busy things were. Great service is easy when everything runs perfectly, but it's worth acknowledging that what Cru did was much harder. He completely changed the energy of the night through pure hospitality and effort. On top of that, his recommendations for food were spot on and exceeded our expectations. The food was outstanding, atmosphere was great, but the way the team handled adversity and recovered is what deserves recognition. Mistakes happen anywhere. The response is what matters, and this restaurant absolutely delivered. Cru deserves all the credit in the world. As well as the entire staff and management. I will be back, without a doubt.
