    TLDR: Excellent flavorful Mexican style desserts made with fresh ingredients. Customer service and signage needs work. As a fan of their Cary location, I was excited to find out they have a Knightdale location too. Unfortunately this location is not as good as the one is Cary. Although they seem well staffed, the line moves slow. Plus during our visit, they were out of numerous items. This could have been an irregular experience, however, if it happens often I recommend they shorten their menu or post when items are out of stock. This would shorten the wait time since customers would not have to decide on a different item to order. Due to out of stock items, we ordered different items than originally planned. This was no big deal, however, we did not receive the new items we ordered. We ordered a churro sundae and dipped popsicle. We received a banana split and guava popsicle. The ice cream flavors, donut sandwich, and popsicle flavors we originally ordered were out of stock. I'm sure they would have fixed it, but we did not bother correcting them due to the long line. Nonetheless, the items were incredible. The flavors are strong and fresh and the desserts well balanced. I usually order mangonada, but was happy to try the guava popsicle. The popsicle flavors are posted at the end of the display case (at the front) rather than near the menu. This works for when you are ordering just a popsicle, but not for when you are ordering a dipped popsicle unless you already know what flavor you want. I recommend posting a popsicle menu by the main menu as well. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and liked how they stay open late.

    Mango chamoy popsicle
    Alexandra E.

    Cute little Ice cream spot in ideal location. Good music, tons of options, and helpful staff. I had the mango chamoy popsicle which was a combo of Spicy and sweet. So large I wasn't able to finish it. Will definitely be back with my kiddos to try some rolled ice cream and street corn! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is due to lack of cleanliness both inside and out front.

    The mangonada is my go to.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet as I tell everyone about it! I was thrilled when they opened a shop in Knightdale (though it's also dangerous for me during the summer). I feel like you can't pigeon hole this place as it has so many different options...ice cream of all kinds, funky chip things, popsicles, and my absolute favorite - the mangonada. It's a delicious concoction of mango chunks with a mango sherbet and a spicy sauce of some sort. The popsicles are amazing. I only get the ones made with milk. They dip things like whole Oreo cookies, pieces of graham cracker, etc. into the mix and let it freeze up. Get the fruity pebbles one! Trust me. They all have so much flavor.

    This was the worst ice cream I've ever had with my kiddo. The worker was lovely but the ice cream had zero taste and the only thing I did taste was freezer burn. $12 to put down my garbage disposal. SO disappointed!

    Awesome spot for Mexican sweets and snacks. We loved the crazy nachos and paletas. The cheesecake burrito was really good. Only spot I've seen that has agua frescas with boba. The strawberry and mango agua frescas are really refreshing. Have to come to try the rest of their huge menu. Check out @raleating on Instagram & TikTok for recommendations on Triangle food spots!

    Strawberry aqua fresca and fruity pebbles popsicle
    Kierstyn M.

    As always, the treats here are delicious! I ordered a strawberry aqua fresca and a fruity pebbles popsicle and wasn't left disappointed. They have so many wonderful and delicious looking things to choose from. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other menu items!

    Rolled ice cream with fresh pineapple and strawberries
    Allan A.

    This was an amazing experience. They offer 80 flavors of popsicles, 20 flavors of ice cream, incredible items like fried spaghetti, other gourmet mexican items and rolled ice cream. My wife got a strawberry slush made with real fruit. My rolled ice cream was fresh made getting cream, fresh cut pineapple, fresh strawberries, filled with Carmel sauce and topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. I am excited to go back and try some of the many unusual tastes and flavors they serve.

    Time for ice cream
    Tamar J.

    I was wanting some ice cream my friend and I stumbled upon this place. The young lady that waited on me was really nice. My friend was next for service after me and didn't get waited on by the other worker, she ended up not getting anything. That would have left a bad taste in my mouth too. They have a variety of food, drinks, and ice cream. I order the churro ice cream sundae. The ice cream sundae comes with three scoops of ice cream, two pieces of churro, and you can pick whichever toppings you would like to top off your Sundae. I pick three different flavors of ice cream; pistachio, butter pecan, Oreo, and topped off with pecans and chocolate syrup. The churros were decent, but the ice cream was one note. I feel like I couldn't taste a big difference between the different flavors of ice cream. I was very disappointed in the Oreos because my ice cream didn't have Oreos in it. I couldn't taste the pecans in the butter pecan, and the pistachio was the only one that I could actually taste pistachio nuts. Needless to say I wasn't impressed with the ice cream.

    Horchata popsicle (ft bubblegum popsicle in background)

    So exciting that this street food shop got to open up another store in NE Raleigh!! So many desserts lasting from sweet to savory. My favorite is elote/corn in a cup- corn is my favorite veg but it being mixed with cheese, mayo, a hint of lime and taki dust is a warm inviting snack in the winter. Or, when it becomes hot and you want fruit without all the sugar - their mild, refreshing popsicles will feel like fruit fossilized in a sorbet just for you (my picks are kiwi for water based and horchata for milk based). I get the aforementioned staples everytime but they have something for everyone. Go and you'll never get tired of it!!

    Very cute place and I love a good late night sweet spot. Ice cream was good churros nice and hot. It was so much I couldn't finish it all. Would love to try something else from here

    My brother surprised us with a dozen cupcakes from Cake Town Bakery for my youngest's birthday…read morecelebration, and wow they were absolutely incredible! We had a variety of flavors, including chocolate, red velvet, vanilla, and lemon, and every single one was delicious. The cupcakes were unbelievably moist, and the frosting was so light, creamy, and flavorful. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. They disappeared so quickly that I didn't even get a chance to take any pictures! After trying the cupcakes, I checked out their social media and saw they offer a wonderful variety of desserts. I also learned that their cakes are made by pre-order, and after tasting these cupcakes, I'll definitely be keeping them in mind for future birthdays and celebrations. If their cupcakes are any indication of the quality of their cakes and other desserts, I know they'll be amazing. Highly recommend!

I finally got the opportunity to visit for a live music event series that just started at the business. The bakery is nicely decorated with tables inside. They offer beverages and a variety of cakes, cookies, pudding, and other desserts for purchase with a changing menu. The event and musical guest was great. I really enjoyed the singer. The female clerk that I engaged with was pleasant. The male owner was also present during my visit. I ended up buying a piece of pound cake during the event. The cake was moist and tasted good.

I was fine until they had me pull up, mind you he did not state where to pull up, just said pull up and pointed to the side door right by that window. So I pulled up. The girl with the redhead/orangehead, whatever, she said "you need to move up to the orange cone at the very end" with the most attitude for absolutely no reason, there's other ways to say things. I finally get my order, unfortunately she brought it to me, l asked her if she had ketchup or napkins on her, she said no, rolled her eyes and went back inside. Idk what her problem was but If you don't like ur job, don't work there. She should hope she's not working next time l'm there because I have something to say :) anyways, yall should have her fired for her disgusting attitude. Great food!
