The staff are fairly average, they greet customers and provide service relatively quickly. The prices are on the higher side, and I can see how a visit for desserts with the whole family could become quite expensive. Another drawback is the limited sizing options. For example, their drinks are only available in a large size, which may not appeal to everyone. I'm also not a fan of dining inside. There's something about the color scheme and overall atmosphere that makes the space feel less inviting and not particularly appealing for eating in.

It's very misleading from the front as it just looks like a little corner shop and you're not sure what's in it.

I got the berry smoothie with protein, and it was absolutely delicious. My friend got the strawberry fruit tea with Boba and it was also freaking delicious! Highly, highly recommend this spot! I heard they also have a second location in Rio Grande so I'm excited to try it out too.

I was surprised with their prices too, we paid under $12 for 2 of the 16oz drinks with added toppings which is really cheap here in the central coast compare to other places. Will come back to try more drinks. Keep in mind they only have 2 people working so might be a little wait though.

We went there three times in 2 weeks and loaded up on goodies such as take 'n' bake pizza, chili, and OF COURSE the clam chowder. We also hit the bakery pretty hard and thoroughly enjoyed the berry cobbler, along with a few other sweet treats. Location is easy to find, plenty of parking and service very friendly.

Very strange experience here today…read more They give you samples using a metal spoon but refuse to let you use that same metal spoon to eat your ice cream! They literally forced me to put the metal spoon in a cup marked "dirty spoons" and forced me to use a plastic spoon to eat my ice cream. Even though I asked nicely and promised to return the dirty spoon when finished. My table was within view of the register so they were assured I wasn't going to steal their spoon. There were two of them and only one of me, so I felt outnumbered and had to comply. Ordinarily I'd have given a tip and been happy. But today, no tip and an honest review. I'm giving 2 stars for the delicious chocolate ice cream, and 0 stars for terrible (and strange!) customer service. I don't know if the owner reads these reviews, but well done on preserving your metal spoons from thievery! But terrible job on training your staff on customer service. As a former restaurant owner, I know the value of attending to customers needs & requests whenever possible. I will not return here, as there are plenty of ice cream shops to choose from here at Pismo Beach.
