I will be back!Posted on Olivia SantanaJuly 28, 2025 So glad this place popped up on Google. Definitely gives bodega vibes, from the decor, to the fact that they sell everything. We specifically went in for ice cream and that did not disappoint. It was so good! Leslie was amazing and we are so glad we met her. Amazing customer service but also getting to know her briefly was a bonus too!! Hopefully she’s there when we return! :)
