The lady working was digging through her purse when I came up to the counter. I ordered my ice cream & she scoops it out with no gloves and without washing hands. Then she took my payment with her bare hands and gives my card back to me- wet because her disgusting hands touched the icecream. Then she goes onto the next customer. It’s like she was trying to give everyone covid.
Great location to meet with friends. The service was friendly and observant. The place has a good atmosphere. Feels like a place in Los Angeles I loved.
As a previous employee I do not recommend!First of all the owner is unprofessional, rude to employees and customers and doesnt give a care in the world.Employees simply do not get paid enough to put up with him.Secondly,he continues to raise prices.All edibles he sells will be on the shelves till he sells out, expired or not.Smoothies are not real fruit, but purees( if that, owner has his own concoctions if they run out of the real purees. Might just be watered down juice and syrup), breakfast are simply frozen items you can get at a grocery store, nothing worth what your paying. Ice cream cones are left out on counter overnight and till sold out. So they might be stale depending if employees change them out or not, which boss would have a fit if he found out they threw them away. And of course, roaches would most likely be crawling on them at night.Fruit might be fresh or might be a few days old, never a certain thing.Roaches are everywhere, including in food(oh and dont bother with the chili, its made from leftover breakfast sausage, jalapenos, and pasta sauce, and a few spices to make it taste edible. Totally not the real thing)and the owner is cheap so he wont hire pest control. Instead he makes employees clean with bleach or soap.Still surprises me he passes health inspection every year.Even when handling food it is optional to wear gloves and trust me, employees and especially boss man do not wash hands as often as they should.Floors always smell disgusting because he will wait forever to replace the mop heads and makes employees clean with month old mop heads filled with dirt.Hair ends up in ice cream once in awhile and so do bugs.Only thing worth buying is souvenir t-shirts if you like old, outdated designs. But be careful some shirts have bleach or dirt stains and he will not discount.I hope this comment was useful to you all.If I had a choose, 0 stars, but to post i had to.
3 kids had ice cream for $9. Sounds reasonable to me. And the two people working were really nice. I will more than likely go back. Only reason 4 stars the tables were dirty and the bathrooms are for the workers only.
Be sure to ask for detailed receipt (not just the credit card approval receipt) because they will charge you more than the price tag. I didnt realize it until I looked at my receipt when I got back home.
Very kind people, good food and great prices. The fruit smoothies are excellent. Nice place to grab breakfast, sandwiches, or ice cream (Blue Bell). Also open on Christmas (one of the few places in the riverwalk that you can eat on Christmas)
Owner was extremely rude. My two year old ran in the store and I was standing in the doorway calling her back, he started yelling at me to get in or get out. I explained I was waiting on my other family members and it seemed to make him madder. I told him we were getting out. Extremely rude! Would not recommend anyone visit this establishment if you have kids or dont want to be screamed at. I feel sorry for the young lady working behind the counter that has to work for this man.
The owner of this place is so rude. Was in his store for not even ten minutes and I witnessed him call a little girl and his mother a stupid woman. The most unprofessional thing I have ever seen in my life. I will never visit this store again on my vacation. After witnessing him talk to not only a customer, but women like this is so uncalled for. Very unfortunate a business like this is still open.
Me and my family went into his store while we were waiting for the results of the state UIL band competition to look for souvenirs and stuff, and when he thought we were only looking, he kicked us out and started cursing and yelling at women and children, and refused to talk to me one on one like a gentleman. Awful awful awful place and no one should EVER come here again.
This man is dishonest. I purchased trolley tour tickets from him and he charged my more than the brochure said. He said I had an old brochure. When I went to get on the trolley they told me the prices hadnt changed and this man ripped me off. I highly recommend you NOT do business with him.
Extremly rude owner qho will cheat his way around everything. Even accusing employess of stealing so he can fire them and not pay. Everything is absolutely filthy with roaches scattered everywhere
I’ve never been here but after reading the reviews, screw this place. I just want it to go out of business.
I worked here for a month and I can honestly say this is the filthiest place I have ever seen. There are roaches Everywhere including the cones the owner makes us leave out overnight and roach poop and eggs in the drawer where the napkins and straws are kept. The hot sauces for sale are mostly expired and everything in store is cheaply made and sold for ridiculous prices and the owner laughs at the customers he rips off. Hes also racist and homophobic and a pervert around females. The owner, Kiran, has to be one of the worst people I have ever met and I quit because his store got robbed by an employee he cheated out of money (and allegedly molested), so he tried to take money out of my check to cover his losses. Bad man, nasty ice cream, ( not even real blue Belle) and a dangerous environment. Do not waste your money or time or risk your safety at this place.
Dirty Dirty Dirty!!!☝🏽️its a polished turd! I saw hair in the blue bell and roaches on the walls 😫 So disappointing
BEWARE! The owner called my child out of control for unfolding a sweatshirt she was considering, after grabbing it from her. And then told us to leave. We hadnt been there 5 minutes. He even came outside in a threatening manner and called me a stupid woman. No wonder this place is rated under 2 stars! My child was very shaken and scared over the incident! What a horrible and dangerous man! BEWARE!
I would give zero stars if I could. The owner was disgustingly rude while looking at their products in the store. Unfolding a sweatshirt to possibly purchase made the owner mad and kicked us out of his store causing a scene. Will never come back here again.
RACIST: DO NOT SHOP HERE IF YOU ARE BLACK!!! After refusing to answer a question about a product the owner kicked me out of the store all the while calling me BOY!!
