Ordered the dark chocolate sorbet and the cranberry sorbet, both vegan I think. I don’t know what witchcraft they worked to make the dark chocolate sorbet so rich and creamy while still being vegan, but I’ll take it. The cranberry sorbet was very grainy and texturally felt more like an icy or slushy.
This is gourmet ice cream and you pay the gourmet price. The torched marshmallow fluff was a nice addition.
they make small batch seasonal flavors, so I did not get to try the bitter caramel. I think the best order would be the dark chocolate sorbet, and the bitter caramel in a sugar cone with the torched marshmallow fluff on top.
They are generous with letting you try flavors before you buy anything.

Having worked in ice cream before (Jeni’s woot woot), I always appreciate quality small batch creameries. The young gentleman behind the counter was very helpful and courteous, helping get exactly what I like (variety…was able to split the double into four incredible flavors)!! All the flavors were FRESH and inventive. Loved the Verve, enjoyed the refreshing mint, appreciated the summertime vibes of the strawberry, and was wowed by the black tea/peach. Tue/Thu 4-6 is free upgrade from a small! Come support this excellent local business!

My favorite ice cream in Santa Cruz! Recommend this location rather than the downtown location

Clean space, nice service, artisanal flavors. Enjoyed the fresh mint flavor, berry sorbet, and cardamom pistachio chip. Higher-end pricing for small batch/ quality ingredients. I do find the ice cream here not very creamy, it’s soft and melts very fast. I prefer a firmer ice cream.

Love the handcrafted and unusual flavors! Waffle cones made on site. Mint chip that tastes of real mint. Lemon vanilla shake that tasted like lemon bars in a glass. And two vegan sorbet flavors for dairy free options. Super cute spot to check out!

Great Ice Cream spot with some unique flavors. House made waffle cone and torches marshmallow fluff were delicious. Bitter caramel was the best caramel ice cream I’ve had since BiRite in SF. Verve Coffee ice cream is fantastic with a praline crunch.

Definitely not your most traditional ice cream shop, however all of the flavors offered are made with fresh, local ingredients and offer a unique taste. Plus the staff were extremely friendly and offered great insight on each of the flavors

Don’t even think about it – just do it. Calories don’t matter if you hike 7 miles or bike 25 before this treat. Seriously…workout to eat ice cream. There is only one place that comes close to their fresh mint chip and that is way down in LA. Very crisp flavours that is making my mouth water as I write this. My kids love the torched marshmallow dip cones.
