The founders grew up in diverse environments that exposed them to a wide range of flavors. One founder grew up in Hawaii, surrounded by a melting pot of flavors, while the other, dubbed the Farm Boy, grew up on a ranch in California, raising pigs for Polynesian and Hispanic celebrations. These roots have influenced the taste, quality, and ingredients of their ice cream.
The founders travel weekly to local farms to handpick seasonal produce and herbs. They also source their tea from select family farms in Japan and other parts of Asia. Additionally, they use 100% grass-fed, organic dairy from local Petaluma family farms and offer a coconut-based vegan sorbet line sweetened with agave nectar.
The shop's products stand out due to the founders' commitment to using high-quality, fresh ingredients and careful craftsmanship. They craft each batch from scratch, pasteurize their bases, and slow churn each flavor with minimal air incorporation, resulting in smooth textures and authentic flavors.
Customers rave about the shop's delicious and unique flavors, which often have a Japanese touch. They also appreciate the shop's transparency about ingredients, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions. The friendly and fast service, as well as the opportunity to sample flavors before deciding, are also major pluses.
Customers can expect a rotating selection of seasonal flavors that incorporate fresh, local ingredients. The shop also offers a variety of unique and creative flavors, as well as vegan options. With new flavors constantly being introduced, customers always have something to look forward to.
