Here's The Scoop - Salida

When we entered, we were never greeted by the older gentleman behind the counter. I initially brushed it off since he was serving another customer. However, after he finished, he completely ignored me while warmly greeting a group of girls who walked in after us. I couldn't help but notice that I am Asian with brown skin, while they were white. He seemed so eager to engage with them and offered them samples, all while acting as if I didn’t exist, even though I was standing right there. Feeling disrespected and overlooked, I suggested to my husband that we just leave. I couldn’t endure another moment of being treated like that. I would give this place zero stars if I could, but I suppose one star will have to do. Some might say not to make it about race, but just because someone hasn’t experienced it doesn't mean it doesn’t happen to others.

This place offers a fantastic selection of delicious vegan gelato and ice cream! When I visited, there were five vegan flavors available, alongside a wide variety of dairy ice creams. The owner is simply charming and shows so much pride and affection for his shop, his family, and the handmade products they offer. I tried the vegan Orange Grand Marnier gelato, and it was truly a flavor sensation—so creamy and rich! Overall, it’s a lovely spot, complete with a charming thrift store area in the back!

What a fantastic little spot! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are incredibly friendly. I discovered something I never knew I needed: bourbon butter pecan ice cream! It's a must-try!

Hands down the best ice cream in town. The owner is incredibly proud and so sweet with kids. Many good flavors to choose from including gelato made with almond milk. Support local!!!
