Order the small or kid's size. Serving sizes are huge! Fruity pebbles ice cream with Fruity pebbles on top= amazing!
Oh my gosh! So to begin with there will be a line. I believe there were 20-25 people waiting to order and just as many waiting to pick up their order. This will be worth the wait. Everyone is friendly so waiting is kinda fun.
The portions are ginormous. Ordered a banana split and chocolate shake. They don't skimp on anything. The shake tasted...well chocolately. It was thick to boot. The banana split was epic. I will just post a photo. It is big enough for two people.
First time we drove by we saw the crowd waiting and decided not to stop. Second time we thought we would hang out and try it.
This is our official ice cream place ♥️♥️♥️
My cousin and I followed the line of customers to this wonderful ice cream shop near the pier in Ventura. The large tornadoes shown here are vanilla with Twix mix-ins and black raspberry with Kit-Kat mix-ins. The blend of the soft serve ice cream with the chunks of candy was a good blend to keep my taste buds activated. I saw many different customers all walk away with different treats and none of them seemed dissappointed. It is a nice stop when taking a ride around Clear Lake and I praise the staff for doing their best to keep up with high demands. Fantastic!!
I, LOVE, ice cream. So when I heard about this small, little, hole in the wall, ice cream joint, I had to go see what all the rave was. HOLY proportion! They don’t skimp at all! Prepare to wait a few minutes, as this is the place to go, but they can make up items quickly! It’s worth the wait! Great service; and would definitely stop again.
I love this place every time I go I get the black raspberry malt if you’re just driving through I highly recommend that you stop by if you live close you should go at least three times a summer the best time is after a long day at the beach
Nostalgia comes with a price and a hefty one at that. This was my first visit and it will be the last. Cheeseburger and a small shake for $15. I don't mind paying a high price for a good meal. Basic frozen burger patty and ice cream that's mediocre at best after waiting 17 minutes? I can understand waiting that long if they weren't busy but there was 6 other people there 2 orders including the people behind me. I'm just going to pass like I always have.
As everyone points out, the serving sizes are HUGE! A small could easily be split between 2 adults. You will get a lot of ice cream for your money. I used to go here 20+ years ago when I was kid and don't remember getting so much ice cream! :D
My only complaint is since it has been so long since going here, I had no idea it was cash only and I feel they REALLY need a card machine. It would make everything so much smoother and easier. We were one of the people that had to go to the Ventura Mart looking for an ATM but it was out of order and Ventura Mart won't let you do cash back on purchases for the sole reason that people come from the Viking looking for cash and would wipe them out. Totally understandable. We were able to get cash but everyone may not be lucky when trying to do this.
Black raspberry yogurt is amazing and the only reason for a 3 star... the service on the other hand was not. Disappointed on our last visit. After realizing they take cash or check only and last time I paid cash, I had to go to my vehicle which was parked on a busy street, get back in line, which it is what it is, and reorder. HOWEVER, the girl taking my order failed to pass along what we ordered so 6 ppl behind us got served before she even realized she didn't say anything about our order. Then it took another 10 minutes to get 4 small dishes of frozen yogurt, with nothing on them. I almost asked for my check back and left but for the sake of my children and husband, I waited.
