Delicious desserts great business idea. The only thing that was confusing at first was the cone flavour, frosted dip, and was not sure what the ice cream flavour selection was. It’s more options then I am used to at usual ice-cream truck but they have a good product that makes them. I had two different dips chocolate and birthday cake, and they always put eyes on them neat idea - families will love it.

I've eaten from this place multiple times, mostly through doordash. I went in-person today to pick up and got the usual brownie bite sundae that also comes with skor pieces and fudge. And as usual, it was delicious and cost around $7.50, a reasonable price for such delicious ice cream. Portion sizes are reasonable as well (I'd eaten a bit of my sundae in this picture before I took it since it was so good haha). I've had their cake jar, caramel sundae, and dipped cone, but my favorite by far is the brownie bite sundae. The cake jar is $12 ish but the portion size is huge and can easily serve 2 hungry dessert eaters!! So it's worth in my book, especially with the topping options. The soft serve here is hands down the best tasting soft serve in Nanaimo and one of the best I have ever had! When I went in person today, the owner was super kind and even gave extra brownies in the second sundae I ordered for a friend, even though I offered to pay for it. Just a quick note about the two negative reviewers who left some large paragraphs about this place--they sounded pretty condescending. I can understand being dissatisfied with customer service, but I don't understand their attitude when they started by being passive aggressive first and then downplaying their negative reviews. Mistakes happen, especially with a small family run business that's popular throughout the day. If you understand that and want to support local businesses, then don't leave passive aggressive, negative, and condescending reviews on their page, and move on with your lives like normal people. Anywho, if you felt discouraged about coming here because of those reviews, please don't--it genuinely tastes amazing. Get the brownie bite sundae!! You won't regret it. :)
