No tip jar

You won't find a tip line on your receipt.

That's on purpose. When someone insists anyway, the money goes into the Blessings Bag and gets passed on to a person or a family who needs a good day.

“I want to show my team how important it is to be a giver,” Sonia says. “We have a job because people are coming to us.”

Gave us plenty of samples to try before choosing our flavors. Family of 6 all got ice cream for ~$30. Highly recommend

I absolutely loved the vibe! Even the restroom matches the golden theme. Ice cream was delish, people were nice, and everywhere you looked it was just so quaint to look at.

Upon arrival you are greeted and when departing you are dismissed with their slogan.

Come by.

We're in Uptown Plaza on N 10th, seven days a week. There's seating outside if the evening is behaving.
