What struck me the most were the absolutely gorgeous flower gardens!

We were lucky enough to meet Christine, the resident gardener, and her passion and knowledge and excitement about her beautiful gardens is so apparent. We will return, and I plan to bring some family members to grab some ice cream and view the gardens!

Lines went quick and there is a good selection to choose from. I had a kiddie cup of chocolate chip cookie dough (chocolate based) and my husband had a think chocolate shake. It was about $17 for both- which I think is a bit on the high side for the amount that was given. I did really enjoy mine and my husband said the thick shake wasn't very thick- I tried it myself and it seemed more like chocolate milk.

All I can say is that it's about time. Finally Acton has it's own ice cream shop and by the looks of it...it's here to stay. This is not your local mom and pop ice cream shop that serves Richardson's ice cream. The owners did this one right - decor is beautiful but most importantly the ice cream is fantastic! I of course had the vanilla (I judge an ice cream place by its vanilla) and it didn't disappoint; it had a wonderful almost flowery vanilla flavor. My wife had the coffee and also loved it. Strong coffee flavor and after talking with one of the owners learned that it even had espresso grounds from the coffee shop next door. She said it's the best coffee ice cream she has ever had. Looking forward to going back and trying some of there other flavors. Welcome to town West Side! read more

Total for 2 small cups came out to approximately $15 (not including tip). What's Hot - Quality. Delicious. Wonderful flavor and not too sweet, which I definitely appreciate. The black sesame flavor I ordered was subtle, exactly how black sesame should be. The dough in the cookie dough ice cream was a good texture and not goopy. - Variety. Awesome! I was pleasantly surprised they had a black mochi flavor, which is rare. There were standard flavors like cookie dough, strawberry, cookies and cream, etc.... There were additional flavors that are not common, including kulfi, which includes pistachio and cardamom. Their staffers also told me that certain flavors, like black sesame, are seasonal, so something to be aware of. They also sell pup cups (yes, for your pet), pints, quarts, ice cream cakes of small, medium, and large sizes. - Cost. For 2 small cups at $15 is not unreasonable, especially given the quality of the ice cream. - Service. Pretty good. We were able to ask for samples before we made an order. My friends and I were there on a relatively busy evening. When my husband and I asked for specific samples, their staffers talked to each other to ensure who was helping whom, to streamline service and our orders, which I found very helpful. All the staffers I talked to were sweet and helpful. When I asked them questions about specific flavors, they had answers, including providing me contextual information. - Layout. There is indoor seating, including tables and chairs, and high bar seating area. It's spacious enough inside to accommodate customers whether they stand or sit to eat, including just looking at what they have. - Location. Fairly easy to find and conveniently located to other shops and restaurants. - Parking. There is street parking available and parking lots nearby, but availability will depend on day and time you come. What's Not - Acoustics. They play music at a relatively loud volume. Noise carries easily inside. As such, it's difficult to hear others, including having a conversation with those you are with. - Parking. There is street parking, but availability will depend on the day and time you arrive, so be prepared to not find parking; spending time looking for parking, and; walking. Final Answer Definitely a place worth returning.

There's classic flavors like cookie dough, but also more unique ones like ginger snap molasses. Today I tried the cocoa joel--chocolate icecream with chocolate chips and oreo pieces. It was creamy and the oreo pieces and chocolate paired nicely together. I usually like getting a cup or cone, which sizes range from micro to large. Or if you want to get a frappe you can do that as well! They also sell pints to go and ice cream cakes which is a nice option. A little pricey but it's homemade so you pay for the quality. Sometimes there is a line but usually it moves quickly. Lots of seating inside or you can take it to go and eat outside around the center if the weathers nice. Pro tip: They have complimentary magnets you can take one as a souvenir!
