This is an amazing ice cream place. If I didn't like it so much, I would dock them a star because…read moreit does not seem like they hire enough workers for a busy weekend day. Poor staff member was all alone in the back taking orders from big parties, call-in orders, and app orders. He was working non-stop and I don't think that is a great thing about this place, since from the looks of it they can afford to hire more workers given the steady stream of customers (sometimes not so steady and sometimes just heavy). But the ice cream is freshly made and everything tastes as it should -- strawberry ice cream tastes like fresh strawberries, flavors are super creative, and the sundaes have a mix of the flavors with special toppings like nuts and cream. The place also has little games to keep the kids busy and just a nice variety of ice cream, boba, shakes, and drinks. Overall, we can see why our family highly recommended this place to us and why it's a staple in the area. The ice cream is amazing!

I stopped in after hearing rave reviews. It's in a strip mall, and you have to look to find it, but…read moreonce I walked in, it was amazing! I got a regular, which was two scoops and the girl behind the counter let me try as many flavors to figure out what I wanted. I got one scoop of sea and sand, and one scoop of a horse with no name and it was absolutely delicious! The girl working there said they make everything by hand there. I would definitely go back and definitely recommend!

Clementines was the planned after-dinner dessert for yesterday evening, but due to a snafu at a…read morerestaurant that I won't name, whose kitchen was closed 30 minutes before they closed, we ended up coming to Clementines before we ended the night at a different taco restaurant that took great care of us. Saying that, to say, we had dessert before we had dinner, but we had a great experience at Clementines. The line was literally wrapped completely around inside the store, so when you walk in, you have to go all the way to the other end and turn around to get to the back of the line. They were popular last night, but they moved quickly. They took care of us, and there were no issues. The line did not stop growing. Even when we left, it was the same thing, but again, staff members took great care of us. They offered samples for everything that was there, and they gave us great recommendations. They were quick, they were knowledgeable, and they were pleasant, making the experience seamless. I'll speak to what I ended up actually ordering, which was the ooey gooey butter cake that they have in the cooler. It was about $15. It caught my attention while I was standing in line, so I went ahead and ordered that. I did have a small piece of it last night after I got home. Definitely amazing flavor. I will be going back to get one of the small tubs of ice cream to put it on top, like one of the staff members recommended. That was a 5 out of 5 My wife ended up getting the red velvet waffle cone with the salted caramel cookies and cream single scoop. It was definitely amazing. I like the crunch of the waffle cone, and it had good flavor to it. The salted caramel cookies and cream was true to its name. It had good flavor. I'm not a big dairy person, but it did not mess with my stomach, which I highly appreciate. It was more than enough for us to share, especially since we ran the risk of spoiling our appetite for dinner, but it was amazing, really good. I will be going back to get the midnight pleasure, which is a triple dark chocolate ice cream. They have, for the lack of a better word, a black ice cream cone, so I'll be going back to do that. I sampled several flavors. The gooey butter cake, the midnight pleasures, the Salted caramel cookies and cream all of them tasted great. I liked the fact that they had kosher options and non-dairy options as well. If you haven't been here, you should definitely give it a try.

Five stars all around for: *Taste (loved my watermelon ice…read morecream) *Staff, who clearly takes pride in what they do * Low waste practices, like how they use actual metal tasting spoons that they wash daily instead of single use plastic... plus compostable take away spoons * lots of non-dairy and vegan flavors for my non-dairy and vegan friends!

Call me a fan of High Hopes. First things first: it can't be denied that over the past few years…read moreHigh Hopes has climbed its way to the top of the craft ice cream mountain here in Kansas City. This spot has a cult following and I'm embarrassed to say how long it took me to get over here to pick up a cone and see what it's all about. I am glad though, that I made the trek and I'm happy to say I've been back a few times since! First thing you'll notice about this spot is that it's a walk up counter, and there is something charming about that. There are a few tables outside on the sidewalk if you want to stay and enjoy your ice cream on the spot. The next thing you'll notice are all of the interesting flavors, my favorite so far has been the banana haze, but I have a feeling they all are good. On hot summer nights there will be a line here, but it's worth the wait and honestly what ice cream spot doesn't have a line in the summer? The folks working are always super nice and willing to answer any questions you have. You'll walk away with a really great sized scoop for the price and one of the best ice creams in KC.

I had high hopes for High Hopes, but I felt kind of disappointed after I went. There was a long…read moreline, and parking was limited to street parking. I ordered the Campfire S'mores ice cream, and although it was rich and creamy, I didn't really get the nostalgic hit of graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow. I felt like I was eating a glorified vanilla. For the price and hype, I was expecting more. Would I go back? Maybe if friends wanted to go and try it. Edit: The owner of High Hopes wrote a response including the statement, "Yelp glorifies amateur critics, giving them a platform for disproportionate, often weaponized power to individual opinions over professional expertise." It sounds disrespectful toward Yelpers, as if the typical person or customer isn't allowed to say whether they like or dislike something. That is the entire point of this platform, and arguably, any customer review. The response from Jamie invalidates the individual's experience and alienates the customer. If this is the culture behind High Hopes, it does not feel inclusive to all. Therefore, I will not be going back. I will keep the review at 3 stars because I stand by my original review.

I love that they have a conscious and labeled menu- ranging from vegan to keto to gluten-free options. (Thanks for that!) The flavors have such fun names; Estes' fave name is Golddigger, since that sums up the freeloading life of a spoiled and very loved dog (that was also his dad's fave flavor ) What a great spot in Briarcliffe Village. We will definitely be back!

It was quite busy when we stopped in nevertheless the staff was very friendly and happy to let us sample flavors before ordering, which I appreciated. The one thing that really stood out was the price ... and not in a good way. We paid $16 for two scoops of ice cream, which felt pretty outrageous for what we got. I truly enjoy supporting local businesses, and I understand that rising costs and high rent can play a role, but it still didn't feel worth it. I didn't rate them too low based on that because they're doing a great job! If you're going for the atmosphere and experience, it could be a fun stop. But if you're thinking about value for money, it may come across as a bit underwhelming.

This place is pretty incredible!!!…read more We were grabbing a cheeseburger across the street and saw this ice cream place and decided to check it out. I was celebrating passing a certification for work so we thought we should have a treat. Also, my brother was in town so it seemed a good time. I've never had ice cream like this before. They literally make it right in front of you. After you order your flavor, they pour liquid in a bowl and use a stand mixer and liquid nitrogen to prepare the ice cream fresh while you wait. There are no additives or preservatives, and it tastes amazing! The family who owns the place is very kind and willing to walk you through the menu and the process. They also have a bubble tea and some other treats for you to enjoy. They offer board games for adults and children. It's a very comfortable and homey place. The Reese's peanut butter chocolate ice cream was magnificent!! My wife and I will definitely return!

Inside the store was cool and nice. The staff was super friendly and kind, handing out samples when asked. I had the cherry ice cream with sugar cookies, which was a first for me and pretty indulgent. It was delicious. Really high quality ice cream. My wife liked it too. We would return for sure.

More than just Frozen Custard!…read more For perspective, it has been said people should be more than a "pretty face.'' I do like their frozen custard as much as I do Ted Drew's in St. Louis! But it might be a disservice to some of the other things available. In the "Covid Lockdown Era", we're open to safe drive throughs and curbside delivery as an alternative to actually cooking meals in our kitchen. So on a whim we decided to check out their non-frozen offerings for dinner. Pulling up at the dive through a friendly voice came out of the speaker. As we had never had anything but frozen custard their we did quick looks at their menu. I settled on a "Rockin Burger" (¼ lb Angus patty served on a butter toasted bun with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles and King sauce), my order without the tomatoes and pickles as that's my taste. My wife latched onto the "KC Jazz Burger" (¼ lb Angus patty served on a butter toasted bun with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, sizzling bacon and BBQ sauce). Both were ordered as "meals," adding fries and a medium Pepsi product. On first glance we were both impressed with quantity served. Not following the herd, the burgers were actually bigger than the buns (not a "Where's the Beef" moment). Red onions rather than chopped onions was another case of walking on the wild side. The buns were another high point. Not anemic or overpowering the sandwiches, they had great flavor without some hard crust or mushy afterthought - easily enhancing the sandwiches. The fries were very good for fast food. The BBQ sauce was light and also flavor enhancing (acceptable in Kansas City). The tab for both meals was around $16.00 including tax. Adding to the enjoyment, the packaging allowed for the meals to still be hot when we finished to 3 mile drive home (kind of rare in fast food). For now they only offer drive through and delivery during the lockdowns. Safety first. Looking past the "Pretty Face" of their frozen custard, there is real substance within their menu. That initial "whim" paid off, and I am sure we will be returning.

It's not god-awful, but our entire experience was just...subpar. To start off, the service is not great. The entire place seems to be staffed by teenagers (not a bad thing!) who have not been trained to run the place well (a bad thing) and who don't know what's on offer (a very bad thing). We asked if we could substitute the cheddar cheese that comes on the burger for American cheese. She didn't know and went to ask her manager, then returned to inform us that they don't have American cheese. What kind of Americana-themed diner doesn't have American cheese?! The food was also just fine. The burger patties look like they came straight out of the freezer in a school cafeteria, but they tasted surprisingly good! Well-seasoned and not rubbery. The buns were fine. The fries were good, beer-battered and flaky but quite undercooked. The soda tasted like nothing - barely even carbonated water. To add to the (non-literal) sour taste left by the food, the ice cream was just so-so. The custard was bland and the ice cream is quite expensive, especially for not being made in-house. Boo! The ambience is cute but it seems like someone just googled "50s Americana" and added the first 15 Amazon listings to their cart to decorate the place. As another reviewer said, I am EXTREMELY disappointed to see what seems like a local institution advertising with hideous AI-generated posters. Is it really that hard to take a picture of a burger or an ice cream cone? I wouldn't recommend this place. Take a trip north to Danny's Burger Shack for a good meal instead!
