Review

Sara I. (Jun 18, 2022):

“Loved this little sweet elite perk! This ice cream spot is bright and cheery, perfect on this sunny Saturday visit. I've been to V.L. before, and the establishment was just as nice and clean, well organized like last time. The lines were non existent, so Lou and I grabbed our ice cream and got to comfortably sit indoors.

The scooper was friendly and allowed us to try a few samples. I went for the coffee affogato flavor and the dark chocolate brownie flavor. Out of the two, the affogato was creamier and lush with a nice light coffee flavor. The brownie ice cream was a bit on the drier side but still tasty.

We also tried the Texas rodeo sundae and root beer soda. Flavors were great—dreamy, creamy, crunchy, and nostalgic. Overall we had a great time. Until next time!”
