Flavor Brigade

My first time coming here. I walked right by it--it is on the eastern corner of the alley. When I walked in there was already a line of people getting their different forms of ice cream. What I found was that Flavor Brigade has some items that aren't usually available on the West Coast. They have Italian Ice--especially for those that aren't into dairy or gluten-free. They also carry frozen custard. Some people like to have layers of frozen ice and frozen custard. They also carry Organic Ice Cream from Straus Family Creamery. I wasn't super hungry so I tried their Wookie Cookie filled with Chocolate Ice Cream--pretty tasty--which they make in small batches.

I don't know who the designer of the ice cream is but he or she is a genius! I've been enjoying their ice cream since they had a truck many years ago. When I found out they had a brick and mortar I was super excited. The Salted Honey Lavender is the best! All their other seasonal ice creams are always on point! Definitely better then Afters Ice cream for me!

I love this spot every, since it opened. My kids always ask me to stop in everytime we visit my mom's salon around the corner. I'm glad to see they are still in business after the pandemic. If you love something sour like I do they got you covered. If you got a sweet tooth, that custard is what's calling you. I like both sour & sweet. I highly recommend trying the 2nd Street. I got the green apple with white custard this time & it does it for me everytime I stop in. Perfect for the heat wave or just to fulfill your icy taste buds any day of the week!!!

OK at best. The milk and cream flavor is prevalent but the rest of the flavor definitely underwhelms. There was no cookie dough flavor except in the actual (few) pieces of cookie dough. All the other flavors were the same. The floor desperately needed mopping. The service was average. The cashier seemed nervous. There were only about 8 ice cream flavors and a few slushy flavors.

Experienced racial bias here. They have a sign at the door that says "one person at a time due to COVID". Caucasians appear to be exempt from this as three weeks ago, they allowed a whole group in. I tried to enter the store a few days ago and the server yelled "You have to leave, only one person at a time!" There was one other patron in the store on her way out. I left and will NOT be returning. Lastly, I've never seen a person of color working there. If zero stars were an option, I would have chosen it.
