"Amazing service! The ladies were so helpful in making sure we all understood what the options were on the menu. She helped communicate the information to the ladies making the icecream. They even helped my kiddos when they couldn't see the icecream flavors. They were so kind and sweet! Very great place."

"The workers there are very friendly and patient as it is a Spanish store. There was a patron there that helped my husband and I with our order, as he spoke fluent English and Spanish. They have fresh fruits from the southern equator to include coconuts! We have been looking for fresh cut coconut for years since we had it on a vacation in HI. We have found it! So good and coconut water is on their menu as well!"

"I absolutely LOVE this place!!! I always get the Mangonada made with the mango ice cream. This time, I also got the Fruta Loca with the mango ice cream for my fiancé. The people that work there are AMAZING! EXTREMELY friendly people, and there is always someone there who speaks English to help communicate if needed. I am very big on supporting local small businesses. If you get the chance, stop by and get a treat!!! Delicious!"
