ICICLES @ Pleasanton — Restaurant in Pleasanton

Today I had the pleasure of experiencing “Icicles” on Pleasanton Main Street. Among entry I was immediately greeted and given ample suggested on flavor choices, ingredients, and toppings. My cashier and roller, “Milla” was thorough with all suggestions and rolled my ice cream extremely fast. With the evening rush of customers, and her being the only worker rolling she managed quite well. The store is quite clean and they offer many gluten free, non dairy, and vegan options.

Then they spread the mixture on flat and scrape it up into rolls. I added dark chocolate bits, almond slivers, Nutella drizzle, toasted marshmallow, and banana. Yummy!! Fulfilling! Could up their game with better customer service and spend more time on making the atmosphere a place you want to dine in… however the rest of downtown Pleasanton...

My son‘s reaction in this photo is all the review you need! Absolutely love getting ice cream here and my kids love watching it being made! The gentleman that helped us out last night was so sweet and loved entertaining my kids while making their ice cream. Only reason I didn’t give a full five stars is because every time I’ve been coming in in the last year or so, they barely put any toppings on top even when I ask them for extra. Don’t say you get unlimited toppings if you’re not willing to give the customer what they want, especially when they’re spending $45 on...
