Where to begin, the coffee or the ice cream?! They are both so delicious! The coffee is so smooth, many coffee shops serve bitter coffee so I add lots of cream and flavor to mask that taste. I actually could drink this black it’s so smooth. It’s locally roasted, so that’s a big win for me. The ice cream, wow, they are truly artists in their concoctions. I am making my way through their ice cream flavors, none have disappointed. From adventurous flavors like habanero pineapple to a new and better take on cookies and cream.

Highly recommend, 10 of 10 and you're definitely missing out if you don't stop by. I am very upset I live in the Memphis area and can't drop in more often. But be sure when I'm in Houston you know...
