No better day than National Ice Cream Day to profess my love for this local business! Honestly not sure how I made it this long without writing this review because this is one special spot everyone needs to check out, especially now that they've been names #18 on Yelp's Top 100 Ice Cream Shops 2023!
The difference here is they use fresh ingredients to make everything. Every syrup they use for the raspados start with fresh fruit, giving them the real flavor of it in the finished product and something not overly sweet. When it comes to ice cream, the case is stacked with 15 or so flavors of high quality ice cream. The corn for their elites and esquites is incredibly fresh and sweet, as is all the fruit from the mangoes to the coconuts!
The ice cream on its own is good but it's even better when it tops one of their signature creations like a Fresada, which starts out as a strawberry raspado aka Mexican sno-cone/shave ice which gets topped with a scoop of creamy dreamy strawberry ice cream and chopped fresh strawberries too! You could also try a limonazo, which is a lime raspado with lime sherbet, super refreshing, or go classic with a banana split, waffle cone, or plain cup!
The other major difference here is that this is a family owned and operated business that started as a dream, and with a lot of hard work and dedication, they've made it an absolute reality that now employs many people! They've grown from this single small location with a huge heart on wells Ave to now a food truck serving at the biggest events in town, and I know I'm watching to see what comes next!
