I've been a regular since starting school at UF in 2023 and am a forever fan. I love how they change their flavors every few days...very similar to crumbl! Wish I could put stock in this place. Love it!

I really couldn't be happier with the ice cream and the great service. My only question is if the…read moreice cream is indeed homemade? It tastes great and is very satisfying, but it reminded me too much like regular ice cream and I know they promote it as homemade so that part is a little hazy for me, other than that I love the place. The only reason I ask this question is because I am not a fan of additives and preservatives and ingredients that should not belong in ice cream.

I liked this place. It was not busy when I was there and got to talk to one of the owners. I was…read moreimpressed with personal dedication and involvement. They make food from their homeland which is made using family recipes. But I was there to try their ice cream since it used to be an ice cream place. I also wanted to try their crepes. So the obvious choice is an ice cream crepe with banana, strawberry, and a ton of ice cream. It was cooked fresh in front of me (thankfully not one of those cook ahead and reheat places) The crepe was enjoyable but average and a little too crispy. The ice cream was disappointing, average ice cream regional supplier, definitely not home made. I may go back and give the crepes one more try, ice cream nope. Also curious about the rest of the menu.

Terrible ice cream. Some underpaid kids working there without supervision, no manager on site. What…read morea waste of my night going there. I actually gave them a second chance since I had already been there before but when it was just called La Maracucha and they didn't have half the things they offered. This time I thought perhaps it was a little better since they now had ice cream and crepes, too bad it was not the case. In fact, I didn't really get the order right but I waited sooo long that I didn't want to go back in to complain about it to continue to waste my time.

I pass by 13th street quite often and finally was able to go in. I usually am in a hurry but I…read moredecided to stop by on a Friday night . I had a sweet tooth and wanted ice cream. I settled on some boba tea instead and had oolong but unfortunately they were out of boba balls so I had it without. They added a replacement for the boba balls which was a little off and like a jelly texture . Almost like aloe Vera texture . I still loved their boba tea flavor which I got brown sugar. We also tried 2 mochi. The mochi had a great flavor but the texture was too hard for me. We had the strawberry and coconut mochi but they had other amazing flavors like habanero coffee, expresó , lychee , passion fruit etc. I appreciate that they had so many unique flavors you don't see often. I am not sure if the macaroons are fresh or who makes them but they also had a variety of interesting flavors . Would definitely come back to try other items and flavors that they offer.

We were at adjacent business Swamp Boil when I told my friend I wanted dessert…read more Turns out my friend recommends this place. Before I say yes to boba tea, though, I ask the waitress for their dessert menu and they sent me to BC Boba Tea & Ice Cream. Apparently Swamp Boil doesn't serve dessert. Anyway, this cute little tea shop also sells some snacks and ice cream. Given my friend wanting some boba tea, the desire was contagious and I wanted one, too. I also figured it made more sense for the road as I had many hours until I would reach South Florida. He ordered an oolong milk tea with boba while I ordered a strawberry green tea with boba. Both were refreshing, but I think I'm happy I stuck with the strawberry green tea. Milk and long car rides aren't good companions and that's with me not being lactose intolerant. Anyhow, the service was fine, a bit cold perhaps, but it is what it is. They have a lovely mural on site and I'm generally curious if this and Swamp Boil are owned by the same person. At any rate, I would go back if in the area.

I tried the Hot Chick sandwich at SweetBerries and I'm still thinking about it. Their signature…read morechicken salad on toasted sourdough already sounded good, but the way they executed it was on another level. The bread was grilled perfectly, buttery, golden, and exactly the kind of crisp I love. The flavors were unreal. The crispy bacon added that salty, smoky crunch that hits immediately, the muenster cheese brought this smooth, melty richness, and the sweet onion and carrots added the perfect fresh bite. But the real surprise was the honey mustard. I'm a honey mustard lover, but I was honestly skeptical about how much they'd use or whether it would overpower everything. Instead, it was beautifully balanced, but just the right amount of sweetness to bounce off the savory bacon, the creamy chicken salad, and the buttery toast. Every flavor complemented the next, and it all came together in a way that genuinely surprised me. It ended up being one of the most amazing sandwiches I've ever had. I was mesmerized from the first bite to the last. SweetBerries really nailed this one.

The reuben rye bread was toasted for crunch, and the sandwich was quite savory. The vibe here is very relaxed, and the crew was very helpful and polite. The food is good and the desserts are great! Notice there is no photo of the dessert. When it hit the table, the smooth chocolate, almond, raspberry custard got nothing but spoons. Soo smooth, and so delicious! You can pass this place up going about your day, but when you stop, you'll be glad!!

We almost drove away when we saw the long line that reached the parking lot but decided to stick it out and give it a try. Figured if the locals are willing to wait in line, it must be good! This is a pick up only window with tables outside for customers to enjoy their treats but there is no indoor seating. The walk up counter had two windows and both were staffed with friendly cashiers. The line moved quickly but with enough time for us to figure out the ordering system and to sort through the many options available from the menu board posted on the sidewalk. There are at least 5 sizes (that I can remember) to choose from and thankfully I was sharing a medium otherwise it would have been too much for one person and I only did two steps out of the 3. I chose to create my own and selected the coconut Italian ice with the Chocolate Gelati in a medium cup. The rest of the family ordered from the Frog Squad Favorites list, which are creations designed to remind you of other favorite sweet treats. One ordered a small Frosted Animal Cracker and one ordered a small S'More. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their selections. We had fun sitting outside and the entire time while we ate our Italian ice , there was always a line of customers. We quickly understood why this is such a hit amongst the Gainesville community!

All proper covid precautions were followed and the kind staff can help you build your cup if you're unsure. They have a wide array of flavors and toppings, unmatched to some places i've seen nearby.

It's rolled ice cream so it's fun to watch them make your ice cream and roll it up! Overall liked this place a lot and a cute spot to get ice cream with anyone, and try their Bangkok summer!!!!

This was our first time having rolled ice cream, and it unfortunately didn't meet our expectations. Rather than being rolled and packed nicely in a cup, our ice cream was loosely rolled and smooshed into a cup. Their new steamed buns on their menu were overcooked and dried out. We really wanted to like this spot, but this visit was an unfortunately a big miss for us.
