A great family location with delicious, homemade ice cream treats. This ice cream parlor has been around for at least 50 years and there are always a crowd of happy customers.

Because the ice cream is made with fresh and natural ingredients, in small batches, every spoonful or lick is like a little bit of heaven (seriously). Peace.

Love their taro ice cream. I buy it by the half gallon. As the seasons change, they have new flavors. Love the peach ice cream in the summer. Whatever fruit is in season, they add lots of fruit.

I have been coming here for quite a while...Not too often, for obvious reasons ;-) However, when me and my friends decide to splurge and have good dessert, we head over here. It is hands down one of the best ice creams out there, in the region, OR the country, which says something! There are unique flavors, and seasonal options... More

No doubt Fosselman's has very good ice cream but their service is horrible. I guess some of their employees have problem with Asian customers. The employees paid no attention to us when we approached the ice cream counter, they carried their own conversation and ignored us. After we managed to place our order, they are still into their conversation among... More

Was there for the first time on a Sunday evening. This place was packed but the service is prompt. $2.5 per single serving ice cream or sorbet is exceptional! We had the water melon sorbet, coconut ice cream and lychee ice cream. The sorbet was on the sweet side but refreshing. Be prepared to park down the street near the... More

By far some of the best ice cream, I have ever had. I like the Raspberry sorbet. I have brought some ice cream into work, every one really likes it.

Always enjoyable, the rum raisin is a current favorite of mine. World famous is a bit overdone, but my dad says he loves the rocky road marshmallow sundae, so that's good enough for me.
