But it’s their seasonal one-of-a-kind treats that truly make this charming ice cream hot spot unique.
Indulge in the Exquisito Guanabana Stracciatella, where tropical guanabana sherbet is blended with ribbons of floral and roasted dark chocolate stracciatella. The flavor is the perfect combo of chocolate and creamy sweetness.
