    Swirl!!
    Christina C.

    Dairy free & gluten free (w/o the cone), this is summer in a cup! This is NOT ice cream people! A Springfield tradition since 1974, the Fortner family began at the Ozark Empire fair and expanded to food trucks throughout the city - complete with Hula girls on top. I love the pineapple whip and also love to swirl it with the strawberry kiwi flavor. Each location has the signature pineapple flavor, plus one specialty flavor. It's not summer unless you grab some!

    Exactly as the name entails - delicious pineapple flavored soft serve with in a cone or a cup. The lady running the "food truck" was helpful and prompt. Get together $3 and go get yourself some!

    Love this place! Pineapple is my favorite, but had to try the other flavor offer. Then decided to get some of both. Delicious! Have to stop when you are in Springfield. Several locations.

    Brand new pineapple whip melted after falling. Poor customer service.

    Just bought three cones and one cup of pineapple whip. Didn't make it to our truck three spaces away when one whip fell off the cone. Went back to inquire about getting a new one with the melting evidence on the asphalt. No dice. Wanted us to pay for it. First and last time we will ever come to a pineapple whip.

    This stuff is yummy! It's like sherbet. Only have 2 flavors though. Kind of pricy though and only one size.

    Orange and Pineapple twist!

    I'm from Boston, and I'm not gonna lie--I was lured in by the hula dancer on the top of the Pineapple Whip truck; the fact that this stuff is delicious was a bonus; Once I got up to the window, I realized they also had orange flavored whip, so naturally, I got a twist with both pineapple and orange. Now I crave this stuff like nobody's business.

    I don't know if the owner (could be whoever served us!) reads these, but we visited the evening of…read moreFebruary 10th, 2024. The young woman working was the only one behind the counter, and she was not only taking orders, some complicated, making suggestions, making all of the orders, SERVING the orders to tables, and bussing everything alone. The line at some points curved beyond the door. I'm not sure for the solid hour we were there enjoying our treats did she have a minute to herself. For that, we tipped handsomely, but she deserves a raise. The dairy free ice cream was excellent. Super smooth, not too sweet, very creamy, and stayed solid, which is hard to find all of those attributes in dairy free ice cream together. I had an Ed's Sauce slush, but instead of just oat milk ice cream, I swirled it with pineapple whip. Altogether, it tasted like a tart Smartie. Pretty good but cloyingly sweet. My partner had a cinnamon, graham cracker, and pretzel shake. It was excellent. Our friend had the Jimmy Eats Swirl bowl, which is essentially a concrete/blizzard. They hand mix their concretes without a blender, which is so impressive. I still can't believe she handled that much of a crowd entirely alone with such complicated orders. Anyways, the ambiance is super chill, imagine Digital Bean from Lizzy McGwire meets Tokyo cat Cafe, but no actual cats. Next time I'm in Springfield again, will be returning for sure. Bonus: They have a buy a meal/take a meal program where you can leave some cash with a digital receipt and someone who needs a meal can take one to redeem for a hot meal. Bonus Bonus(!): the bathroom has a bidet!

    Cool new coffee shop downtown and open late. Anyone who knows me, knows I love a regular place that…read morestays open late. I loved the decor and vibe with the neon lights and plants. They have potted plants and starter plants in vases everywhere. Adorable. Clean, modern meets industrial interior design. The seating options are vast and well placed. Some good for individuals, small groups, and large groups. Bar seating, table seating, couch seating, booth seating, it is all there. The menu is pretty simple, but it works. We ordered affogato, a tumeric latte, and a hot cocoa. The affogato was strong tasting and the espresso a little bitter. After being mixed in with the ice cream, much better. This combo was espresso, salted caramel, walnuts, and caramel syrup. It was alright! Tumeric latte; not the worst thing I've ever had, but far from the best. I've also never had a tumeric latte, so it could have just been me. It tasted bitter and bland at the same time. Maybe too much milk? I dunno... Hot cocoa; saving grace. I gave up on the tumeric latte and got a hot cocoa. It was a more bitter hot cocoa than most (not just straight up sugar) but I like hot cocoa that way. Location, hours (open late = GREAT), and overall vibe is what pulls this place together. A couple of small things... Looks like they have some limited outlets to plug in your devices against the walls, but I think if they added more, it would be a great to get more college students and young professionals in. I also think the potted plants on the tables were slightly too large to carry on conversation and block the view of your group. The back room was a little drafty and too acoustic with multiple people in there. Overall, 4/5 stars. This being their first day open to the public, I'm sure they'll refine their recipes, procedures, work out the kinks, etc. I'm excited to come back in the future.
