Milshakes riquísimos, personal amable y hasta nos dieron un poquito de helado vegano gratis para que nuestra bebé pruebe.

Honestly, I'm extremely disappointed i came thinking it was gonna be better and it really wasn't i feel like when you order something called the chocolate covered strawberry the shake would come with a chocolate covered strawberry like shown in some of the photos shown in the google maps overview for this place but it came with 2 strawbery swearl Swiss cake rolls. Not a strawberry like said on their menu, and my partner ordered the midnight oreo milk shake that didn't even have an oreo on top it had a brownie. overall, it is just underwhelming for 13$ a peace per shake, 100% a waste.

This place was so cool. It's a small intimate setting, but it can get busy. They have milkshakes, smoothies, cobblers, and more! The ice cream was high quality so we really enjoyed our desserts! My milkshake was great, and my wife enjoyed her peach cobbler. She did say she wished it had more peaches in it, but she still really enjoyed it!

I didn’t know a milkshake could be bad… but this one was awful. Ordered a simple vanilla shake with Oreo add in and it was SO watery from presumably too much ice or they added water instead of milk because it tasted so strongly of tap water. The whipped cream on top was also bad because it had no sugar added, it was just whipped half and half and tasted plain, but the worst part was how watery the shakes was. Only had a few sips before we had to throw it away, it was that bad. Super disappointing especially for a $10 shake. Yuck! Will not be back.

I have no clue what I order from here, but I absolutely adore this place. While the service could use a bit of improvement, the overall vibe is just fantastic. Just a heads up, the location is quite small, so expect to take your order to go. Also, it can get quite busy, so a little patience goes a long way. Parking is a bit limited too, so if possible, consider walking or biking to the location. One more thing to note: unfortunately, the residents living above this place can be quite unpleasant. During my visit, someone even threw water down from their apartment onto patrons waiting to enter the restaurant, which was completely uncalled for.

Stopped in here for a quick dessert while visiting Indy. I want to give it a 1, but am giving it a 2 because the decor and the service were decent, and they have a large enough menu that would make me come back to try something different.

We got two things when we went. The first was the chocolate dipped strawberry shake. Strawberry flavor was very light and it just was not very good. The menu also claims it comes with a fresh dipped strawberry. All they did was spoon a spoonful of what I’m guessing was strawberry preserves into the center of the whipped cream. No whole strawberry went into it unfortunately. The other thing we got, which makes me want to rate it as a 1 star or less if I could, is the blackberry cobbler. Easily the worst cobbler I have ever eaten in my life. I don’t know if it was the addition of what I’m assuming is an incredibly large amount of nutmeg or something similar, but this cobbler tasted like, what I can only describe as an old dusty book. It was absolutely atrocious. It was served to us barely lukewarm, which quickly cooled with the addition of ice cream. The crust pieces were half baked, so I’m not sure if it was frozen when it was cooked or what. It was one of the worst desserts I have ever tasted. I don’t know how the owner tastes it and thinks it is on par to put on the menu.

I would come back to try the other milkshakes, like the peanut butter meltaway, but I would avoid the cobbler at all costs unless you like the flavor of dirt.

Pros:
(1) Varied menu of shakes

Cons:
(1) Chocolate dipped strawberry shake was missing something - for me, a stronger flavor of the chocolate is probably what was missing. Most of the time it reminded me of eating a strawberry shortcake shake with a hint of dark chocolate (from the chocolate chips) now and then
(2) Have to pay for parking ($1/hour)

Great job this is a good place to bring the kids or just grab a shake and walk the town. When we walked in there was no one inside we ordered and the wait time was less than 8 mins but well expected since they chopped the bananas and perpared everything in front of us. We ordered the strawberry banana which had chunks of real fruit the mint chip that had lots of chocolate chips in it salted caramel rich and delicious and butter pecan it had loads of little pecan pieces my favorite is the salted caramel and it wasn't even mine it has a nice rich flavor that my butter pecan seemed to be missing all in all we will be returning hopefully they add some more flavor to the butter pecan if not I know what my runner up will be
