“Yum Yum. Worth the Calories”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2013

After strolling across the Walnut Street Bridge, the kids were ready for a frozen treat and the adults were ready for some coffee. My older daughter is allergic to eggs, so she could not have the ice cream and opted for frozen yogurt to which she added peanut butter and peanut butter cups. My younger daughter had ice cream with... More

“Best Fro-Yo in Chattanooga!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2013

This place has the freshest waffle cones/bowls in town. I get the chocolate fro-yo. They have a loyalty program - don't forget to ask for a stamp card.

“an interesting stop to make”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2013

The sign advertising a sundae for dogs (and the smell of baking waffle cone) lured us in. The dogs loved the yogurt, peanut butter and banana treat. The other people on the patio also enjoyed watching them eat it. This was not purely a stop to make the dogs happy. We got delicious treats for ourselves, too. Be prepared to... More

“Cool”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2013 via mobile

We stopped in after a leisure walk over the bridge. The atmosphere is cool. My son enjoyed all the different options. The price was a little high but he enjoyed it.

“Cute Place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2013

This is a cute place in a neat location at one end of the Walnut Street pedestrian bridge and within easy walking distance, over a cool glass bridge, from the Hunter Museum. The concept is that you order a base ice cream or yogurt, chocolate or vanilla, and create one of thousands of flavors. The ingredients you choose are blended... More

“So yummy!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2013

My boyfriend isn't a big ice cream fan and he didn't want any. Huge mistake on his part and he severely regretted it! He couldn't keep his hands off mine! Yes, it's not cheap but it's definitely worth it.

“Yummy and different”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2013

My kids loved this. One got a mix in made in a way I've never seen and the other got an iced coffee that was very tasty. It's not cheap and I'll still never get used to pay $5 for ice cream but that's not their fault. The staff is friendly and best of all it's right next to the... More

“As a local, my favorite ice cream in town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2012

The ice cream show is a place I visit every time I am downtown! I love that you can get yogurt as a choice and then I usually try different mix ins every time. I like flavored soft serve and don't like marble slab creameries where the ice cream is melted by the time you get it. This is an... More
