My first time-- I've been waiting for this one after always coming at inopportune times when…read morethere's too long of a line. Honestly, after having this now, I would have waited in all of those lines. Texture-- great. Firm, but still soft enough to scoop and eat without chew. Vanilla flavor was amazing and chocolate too. I usually establish a baseline on those flavors first-- and Bent Spoon knocked it out of the park. Staff here are pretty helpful despite the limited space here in the store. They were quick to serve samples, and get me helped. Not a lot of space in the store itself to linger, although there are some green spaces and benches across the street. If you'd like to eat it indoors you'll probably find yourself fighting others trying to do the same. Otherwise, plan on crowds during any evening, and all weekend. If you find a line, send one representative to wait, go walk around the area or the Princeton campus, and then come back. It's well worth the wait.

Black sesame lover - this is for you. I had low expectation, but the bent spoon delivered! It's…read morevery sesame-y, but it does not taste burnt. I did try a few samples, but most of them aren't exactly for me. I also wanted a flavor that would complement well with the black sesame. That flavor ended up being earl grey. It was perfect. They balance each other well. My coworker recommended this place. He did warn me that the line is long, but it moves fast! He was right. I do have to say I LOVE their paper cone shape for the ice cream. It's smart. It holds the ice cream. It prevents us from accidentally pushing the top scoop off the cone.

They have such unique and creative flavors across the board, it's hard to pick just one! Also loved their carbonated passion fruit with lychee Pom Pom drink--refreshing, fruity, and totally addictive. The place is super clean and well-maintained, with a welcoming vibe. I'm already planning my next trip back. If you love good ice cream (and drinks that are next-level delicious), Sweet Parlor is a must-visit!

Car show happening tonight too. Elsa was quick to offer us samples to taste since their ice cream were unique flavors: Gooey Butter Cake, Hazel Rocs, Strawberry Lychee, Tiramisu, Sunday Morning, Ube Brownie to name a few. They had amazing looking sundaes, Lattes, milkshakes, and Bubble teas. We chose tiramisu cups and Gooey Butter cake cup. Absolutely to die for. Will be back soon. They have a frequent buyer club, sell pints to go and have fun star games for kids to play. Great place! They have locations in Princeton & Hillsborough too

On a late-night drive home from Maryland, we still had over an hour left before getting home and…read morewere craving some ice cream. A quick search for places that were still open led us to US Mr. Ice Cream. It was a little out of our way, but we were grateful to find an ice cream spot open until 11:30 PM on a Saturday night. I didn't realize before arriving that it's a walk-up window serving soft serve only, but they offer plenty of ways to customize your order. Between cones, cups, hard-shell dips, sprinkles, candy toppings, milkshakes, and more, there are lots of options to choose from. The service was friendly and efficient, and we had our treats in hand within just a few minutes. Since I needed a gluten-free option and still had a long drive ahead, I kept it simple with a cup of vanilla soft serve topped with rainbow sprinkles. Sometimes simple is exactly what you need, and it definitely hit the spot. The portions were generous for the price, which is especially appreciated these days. There isn't any outdoor seating, and the parking lot is quite small, so I could see it getting crowded during busier times. I also would have loved to see hard ice cream offered in addition to soft serve. Overall, this was exactly what we needed: a quick, affordable late-night ice cream stop with friendly service and plenty of topping choices. While I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return, I'd happily stop again if I were passing through and looking for a sweet treat after hours.

The whole experience is always nostalgic and 10/10. The staff is always so kind and more than willing to give you their thoughts about different ice creams, and provide you with samples. The shop was recently repainted and it looks so cute now! I do miss the old look a bit but I also really like the new one! The inside seating definitely needed a refresh and it's great now! The flavors are still just as good as ever, the brownie smores is a long time favorite of mine. Now the sizes- I get a kiddie because it is HUGE. I can never finish the small size. The size in the pictures is a kiddie for reference. I usually get brownie s'mores and another flavor to complement it, and top it off with sprinkles. On a warm day you'll see AYLI packed and even with a line out the door, but it moves quickly and it is worth the wait. TLDR: best ice cream around. get it!

We tried both Cinnamon & sugar pretzel and plain pretzel and they were both equally good, so get both!! I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the peach milk shake, perfect flavor, not too overly sweet and so yummy! I also ordered honey lavender coffee out of curiosity and I was not disappointed. It's just as good as lavender latte from fancy cafe in NYC, like Maman.

They blast the cold air in here, but I can't complain since it was hot outside and probably helps keep the ice cream from melting. For only one worker being there the service was good. My only complaint was that it allowed dogs in its establishment, not a service dog a regular one. Luckily it just sat there, but I believe that places where food is eaten should enforce rules prohibiting non service dogs inside cause it's not fair to people with allergies and it's gross. Love dogs, but not in places I eat
