The ice cream can be pretty good, you just have to get there when the right flavors are there. I feel like it is a tad overpriced and the ice cream isn't as creamy as I would like it to be! Their waffle cones are DELICIOUS! And made fresh there! The atmosphere is very cute though! Service: Dine in Meal type: Other

Super premium organic ice cream My wife and I stop here at least once while in the area. It never disappoints. Located across the street from Los Bagels in a very cool part of town. The flavors are many, lots of choices from cones to bowls. Staff is friendly and the vibe is laid back. Free water station with cups. Great after dinner stop Service: Dine in Meal type: Other

We came here after trying living the dream ice cream in Eureka, just to compare. We thought this was far superior. The people inside were super friendly and smiling, the ice cream is excellent, and the vibe is very chill and friendly and cool. I love their milk bottle chandelier! The chocolate ice cream was excellent. We will come here again, even if it means driving in from Eureka. Service: Takeaway

What a cute ice cream shoppe! I just needed to get out of the house and wanted to visit a specialty shop. The location, downtown Arcata was cute and within walking distance to so many other shops. I ordered cookies and cream and mint in a waffle cup. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
