Insider tip: Build your own sundae with hot fudge and house toppings instead of sticking to a simple scoop.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking on Beverly and Third is the norm; spots turn over quickly but can be tight after 7pm. No valet or dedicated lot.
Dress code: Totally casual — shorts, tees, and post-gym fits all blend in.
Noise level: Low to moderate. It’s a small space, but conversations are easy even when families roll in.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes at peak dessert hours, mainly for ordering rather than seating.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; walk right up to sample and order.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — almost all flavors and sundaes are vegetarian by default.
Vegan options: Solid options with rotating coconut- or oat-based flavors (typically 2–3 on hand).
Gluten-free options: Multiple gluten-free flavors, but sundaes with brownies/cookies contain gluten. Cross-contact possible in shared scoopers.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes — it’s playful, low-pressure, and the creative flavors make for easy conversation. Not a sit-down meal, but great for a sweet, quick date stop.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no reservations here. Limited indoor seating is first-come, first-served, but most people grab-and-go. You’ll usually find a spot if you’re patient.
Is it kid-friendly? Absolutely. Kids love the sampling policy and over-the-top sundaes. Strollers fit best outside or during off-peak hours.
Best For
Better for: Generous sampling, decadent mix-ins, and the most dessert-like flavors in Beverly Grove — perfect for people who prefer bold, maximalist ice cream.
Skip if: You want super-light, minimalist gelato or need strict gluten-free controls. Also not ideal if you’re seeking a full café environment with lots of seating.
