Party of 2 had dinner at Super Noodle vietnamese place and then found this gem of a dessert place while walking around the complex. They have so many great ice cream flavors. Seemed like a family-run business with three very happy chatty ladies managing everything. The place is very spacious, with booths on one side. I had the gancito and pistachio scoops in a waffle cone, and my friend had a couple of other flavors in a cup. Very heavy on sugar, but we had been hiking for 4 days straight, so could take it. Were completely drowsy by the end though. The serving scoops are huge, and the prices are very cheap - 12$ for 4 scoops and a cone.

I sampled several of the ice cream flavors and they were all delicious! I settled on the s'mores flavor and it had the perfect ratio of marshmallow, chocolate, and Graham cracker crumbs with the creaminess of ice cream!! I loved it

Absolutely amazing service, and even better ice cream. Staff was super nice and helpful, and had no issues with me sampling more flavors than I probably should have. The ice cream itself was creamy and flavorful.
