The custard's texture is reminiscent of marshmallow fluff. It's so creamy and addictive, and combined with the ice, it's the perfect balance of refreshing and decadent. The service has always been super friendly, and there's a few tables inside and a bench outside. I've also tried their mint chocolate chip, mermaid, black cherry, and orange flavors, and all are fresh and tasty without any artificial aftertaste. It's a great place to stop in for a sweet treat.

If I Could Give 10 Stars, I Would!…read more I didn't write this review after just one visit. I'm posting it after approximately my 10th visit because I wanted to make sure the great customer service wasn't just a one-time experience. I wanted to see if I received the same friendly, welcoming service every time -- and I did. And honestly, I'm glad I waited, because now I can say this with confidence: This place deserves MORE than 5 stars! I originally stopped by just for ice cream. Somehow, I walked out with a brand-new water jug filled with Ionized Alkaline water! Why? Because I tasted their water. And after tasting it, I basically told myself: "Well... I'm not leaving here without some of THAT!" Their water bottle prices are great, and with your first refill, you can choose the type of water you prefer -- RO Purified, Mineralized, or Ionized Alkaline. I personally really like their Ionized Alkaline water. It tastes crisp, clean, and refreshing, and I personally feel more rehydrated after drinking it. Apparently, I went in for ice cream and accidentally discovered a new favorite water! THE CUSTOMER SERVICE One experience really stood out to me. I needed a new cap/lid for my water jug, but of course, I had left my jug at home. ‍ They could have easily sold me a cap and said, "Hopefully it fits!" Instead, they told me to bring my bottle next time so they could make sure I got the correct cap for my specific bottle. I actually appreciate that a lot. They didn't want to sell me something that might not work just to make a sale. They wanted to make sure I got the RIGHT product. That's the kind of customer service I respect. AND THEN THERE'S THE ICE CREAM! They have plenty of Thrifty Ice Cream choices, and you can actually sample the flavors before ordering. That is both wonderful and dangerous. I tried a sample and ended up with the Indian Ice Gola. WOW! That was amazing! I went in thinking, "I'll just have some ice cream," and somehow ended up buying a new water jug because their Ionized Alkaline water impressed me so much. That's what I call a successful accidental shopping trip. Now, I also read some of the other reviews and wanted to share my perspective. One person complained that their BPA-free bottle broke after three months. My question is: Which major corporation is going to give you a refund or exchange after THREE MONTHS because your bottle broke? If someone knows one, PLEASE tell me the company name. I will happily become their customer! Another review complained that the business needs to be more technologically advanced because the customer forgot their account number. But wait... You forgot YOUR account number, and they used THEIR computer to FIND your account! What more are we expecting from a small local business? Are we expecting them to call NASA? For me, technology isn't the most important thing. Good customer service, honesty, cleanliness, quality, fair prices, and treating customers right are much more important. And this place checks all those boxes. The store is very clean, organized, welcoming, and well maintained. The operator is friendly and gives you a warm welcome, the water choices are excellent, the prices are reasonable, and the ice cream selection is fantastic. Most importantly, after around 10 visits, I can honestly say the customer service has been consistently good. That's why I'm comfortable giving this review. Great water. Great ice cream. Great prices. Great customer service. Clean and organized. And a local small business worth supporting. What else do you want? Maybe free Wi-Fi and a massage? Highly recommended! 5 stars because that's all allows. If there were 10 stars, I'd give them 10!

But they scoop glutenous ice cream then put it in the water.... and use that to scoop your gluten free ice cream. You can request a new scoop, but that doesn't really help all the times they already used a glutenous scoop in an ice cream thats gluten free. Easy fix would be to put all gf flavors together, and keep a scoop with them... but they haven't gotten there yet. Most places, you can request fresh scoops from new containers... but here, they want you to call ahead to do that..... and while that might work for most, we usually spur of the moment ice cream people. My family still goes here without me, but I no longer buy large containers to take home.

First Impressions: They had a little booth setup outside of our building. Felt nostalgic as I used to approach booths that sold anything from candy, cold self-serves, etc. Staff: The two gentlemen that were serving our drinks, were extremely nice and gracious. They even gave me a little bit of a history lesson of the company heh. Cleanliness: The booth was outside, so it was as clean as it gets in terms of presentation and how the appearance of the booth looked. No issues. Value: This was a work event type deal, but from my understanding and looking at their prices for their drinks, I'd say its a pretty fair deal considering the quality ingredients you are getting and not to mention it taste Fantastic :). Recommendations: If you are someone that likes cold frozen drinks whether that be fruit based or with a bit of alcohol (which I did not get), then you may find this place right up your ally. It sort of reminds me of eegee's when it comes to texture, but a lot more smoother as its a cold slush drink. Definitely worth a try even if your a first timer. The price and value is great.

They offer a variety of fruit smoothies and coffee options. Me and my husband both opted for the blended cappuccino smoothie and they had a great flavor (tasted a lot like condensed milk). If we see them again, we're planning to try some of the blended fruit smoothies (you can also mix and match flavors). The only weird thing was the sizing and pricing (which they don't really have control over since it is a franchise business). There isn't really a noticeable difference in the sizes (like maybe the next size cup is like 1-2 ounces more), but you still get the upcharge for what you'd expect for a considerable size increase. Scott and Ken were both very friendly, speedy, and ready to spread good cheer. We left the stand with some tasty beverages and leis to put us in the Hawaiian mood. They also were utilizing masks and gloves for COVID-19 precautions,so it felt pretty safe. I would definitely recommend checking this place put if you see it around (they seem to regularly be at the El Toro Flicks Drive-in up in Oro Valley too!).
