"Along with business partner Zachary Davis, former Manresa pastry chef Kendra Baker created a beloved local institution with this ice cream shop that features seasonal scoops made from scratch and served in homemade waffle cones. True to Santa Cruz ethos, Davis and Baker source ingredients from more than 40 local farmers and foragers for flavors such as strawberry pink peppercorn and cardamom coconut blackberry. Just be sure to top it with toasted marshmallow fluff. Find locations in downtown and Pleasure Point." - Paolo Bicchieri

I had the Bourbon Peach with the Bitter Caramel with toasted almonds...it felt like little meal. I love savory so this combo was perfect. Friendly service as well.

Very good local creamery. Definitely get the fluff. which is a toasted marshmallow topping.

Mint chip is sooo good. Like crushing a handful of fresh mint in your hand and inhaling. Oh, and chocolate too :-)

Great shop, I got the mint chip and it tasted exactly like eating a mint leaf. It was wild and good

This is the one. If you subscribe to high quality ice cream, you’ve found home. Epic taste and freshness!

Staff lovely BUT it’s the only location that doesn’t do marshmallow topping, was therefore disappointing as trying that was reason for going

You may have to wait a little, but totally worth it. Highly recommend toasted marshmallow topping.
