    Strawberry paleta, full milk chocolate dip with fruity pebbles and m&ms
    Alix A.

    I've been seeing the good reviews for this spot for a few weeks and finally had a good night to try this with my boyfriend. After an awesome meal at Hummus & Pita, we walked over there. Metcalf is a little scary but the crosswalk light is like 25 seconds so there's ample time to make it across, so if parking at the farmer's market area makes sense for what you are doing that night, don't feel like you HAVE to move your car. It was bustling when we went on a Friday around 7:30 but fortunately the line was short. The young woman behind the counter gave us the rundown. You pick your popsicle - there are milk-based and water-based (for my vegan friends) popsicles to choose from. You can stop there, or you can add on. If you want to take it over the top, you can dip your popsicle so the toppings adhere. Then you pick your toppings. I chose the strawberry milk-based one, with a full dip in milk chocolate (they'll do a half dip if you just want one topping, or a partial dip) with m&ms and fruity pebbles. It was super yummy! Next time I'll be more adventurous but tbh, it can be overwhelming on your first visit. I'm so glad they've added an evening dessert spot to old OP, neither Upper Crust nor Popculture are open late enough for dessert. So now you can really make a night walking around down there. The space itself was very clean. We were able to snag one of the tables outside. It would be nice if they put a few more tables out there as well as a trash can.

    My girlfriend saw this location driving by and figured we would stop in to get a sweet. I'm normally not into sweets, but this location definitely made me want to come back and get another Paleta bar. When we walked in, we were greeted kindly, even with the bustling environment. It was relatively loud due to the amount of people that were there, but it wasn't overwhelming. There were several different choices to choose from, but I had the Tres Leche Bar with graham crackers. It was amazing. The sweetness was perfect, the taste was delicious, and it was definitely needed on a hot summer day. Overall, I'm happy my girlfriend and I walked into this location. I recommend everyone to come here and I will definitely be returning.

    I was thoroughly surprised on how good this was! I thought it was going to taste nothing like ice cream & oh was I wrong?!! This was literally the best ever. I will send everyone here! The lady behind the counter answered everything with confidence, as well as gave us the options on how to make what we wanted. I loved the whole experience! It was a good amount of space inside. They have a patio option as well through. The music playing in the background was just loud enough to add an even better touch. I'll be back!

    Great experience! This was our first time there and I intend to return to try more flavors. Is very creamy and very delicious, the person who assisted us was very good and welcoming! Parking here is not perfect but besides that, great place to visit!

    Pick out your Paleta bar, dip in chocolate and choose your toppings. Add on some fruits for even more great taste. They really need to add another person at the counter. Poor guy, he doesn't get any break. They are constantly busy. People coming in through out the day for a special treats. Sitting and relaxing in a casual atmosphere. They even have tables and chair outside for your enjoyment.

    This place is a hidden gem! They had a big variety of ice cream flavors. I got Tres Leches and boyfriend got Cookies n Creme. Both VERY delicious. The staff working was great and very kind. The place was super clean.

    This ice cream shop popped up on my recommended places to try via Yelp, so I decided to give it a try. For starters this is not your normal ice cream shop, it's an ice cream bar shop! I literally felt like a kid in a candy store! So many flavors , topping and fruit toppings to choose from. The best part is you can customize your ice cream bar however you like! They also have fruit Aqua Fresca! I had the cucumber lime flavor and the coconut cream paleta! Omg SO good to the point I forgot to take photos of what I brought. Everyone was so nice and friendly, they have outside seating, a plus! I definitely recommend giving this place a try!

    I had no intention of coming here. The wife and daughter wanted to go to Taco Naco which is just next door for dinner as we love it there. Afterwards the daughter mentioned this place since it had come across her insta feed recently. I was stuffed from dinner so wasn't really interested.....but was overruled. So we walk into this relatively small place (about 16 seats) and see the freezer case (pictured below). The girls were quite excited. So here's the deal, you pick out a flavor, then decide if you wanted it dipped in something, then sprinkled in something and if you want fruit on the side. Again I'm not interested at all. That said, the price was easy enough and the girls loved what they ordered. They payed the dad tax and I thought they were great. We will definitely be coming back. I now want to try a few different ice pops. Side note, they also have some kind of nachos and street corn, and jugs of Agua Fresca if you are in to that sort of thing. So in review.....I walked in with a negative attitude, but the treats won me over.

    The Paletas are so good!! Hand made, beautiful, and worth the $5 a piece (depending on all the additions) La mejor paleteria en Kansas!!

    Wow wow wow is all I have to say about this place. My Paleta or popsicle lives rent free in my mind! To start off this place isn't easy to access because it's on Metcalf Ave which is a busy intersection but once you figure out where you are gonna park, trust me it's worth it!!!! The place is clean, I was greeted by excellent staff that was so nice and inviting and just their presence made me wanna come back without even trying anything. You start off your Paleta journey with your popsicle, all different flavors to choose from strawberry to coffee to mango. I chose dulche de leche, then you choose what kind of chocolate you want. You can choose from dark chocolate, white chocolate and milk chocolate. Since I'm indecisive I got half white chocolate and milk chocolate drizzle. Then you choose your crunchy toppings, I have sensitive teeth so skipped that but I got my fruit topping and it was amazing!!!! They give you a fork to eat it with which I found strange but now I get it. You are gonna need your fork and lots of napkins! I love this place so much and mad at myself for not stopping by sooner, but I'll be back. It's my new favorite place!

    Obsessed with The Paleta Bar. There are SO many options to choose from. Tons of flavors - both water based and cream based depending on your mood then toppings galore. This was my first time here so I really appreciated the person working making recommendations on what pairs well together. I went with the chili mango and added tahin and chamoy. I cannot wait to go back and try more flavors and combos. 10/10 recommend.

    So yummy! A little tricky to find parking but was well worth it! Very friendly staff. The bars are great! So many options to choose from!

    So yummy. A little bit of everything to have or add. Can't wait to go back. Very cool vibes. Slow season so there was only one employee but she got ours done quickly and was kind!

    Wifey wanted to get out of the house, but I didn't wanna go driving on that day cause was kinda…read morehot. So we decided to try this gelato place down the street. There's 4 street parking stalls out front on Johnson Dr. The inside is clean & AC was nice on hot days. The girl behind the counter was nice & gave us samples of the gelato that we were curious about. Wifey selected a med cup of dark chocolate and strawberry. I got the med cup with pistachio and coconut. We watched the girl making our cups and noticed she gave more of one flavor than the other in each of our cups. I was a lil disappointed about that. It ended up being 2/3 dark chocolate and 1/3 strawberry in wifey's cup. There was 2/3 pistachio and 1/3 coconut in mine. I like even amounts if you're gonna have a cup with 2 flavors. Lil bit of one flavor mixed with the second flavor. I ended up with a bit more pistachio than I expected. Wifey definitely had more dark chocolate than strawberry. I think next time we'll ask if they can scoop closer to even amounts of each. Although the total amount of gelato was more than worth the cost. We did sit inside since outside was pretty hot and almost no breeze. The place had 3 tables. One had seating for 4 and the other 2 had seating for 2 each. When we entered one of the 2 seater tables had 2 ladies that were jus sitting there with drinks and talking and laughing really loudly. It was echoing in the small room. Other than that it was nice in that cozy lil shop. We liked how the girl behind the counter was patient and welcomed us when we told her it was our first time there. I wanna try some other combos next time. This place reminds me of the lil gelato place we liked back home in Hawaii. A Hui Hou!

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.
