And Courtney P. added, "They're known for their cloud teas that are blended fruit slushes with creamy foam on the top. I tried their pomegranate fruit tea during California's heatwave. Refreshing, light and the perfect amount of sugar to complement the fruit flavors; I was immediately satisfied."

Yelper Devon J. wrote, "Friendly staff and cool place to hang out. It did seem a little pricey. However, the ingredients tasted higher in quality than average, especially compared to other rolled ice cream places. The ice cream base is nice, creamy and bit dense. One is definitely sharable."

Drips Creamery is open from noon–10 p.m. daily.
