Ice cream at its greatest. Homemade, fresh, rich, and smooth. Lots of flavors to choose from. We got black cherry and chocolate on a waffle cone - and a cup of mango and pina colada. We saw someone order one of the specialty menu items and wish we tried that because it looked amazing… but all of it was so good. Excellent quality and taste!

Incredibly tasting ice cream with very exotic flavors. Tried lucuma for the first time and would highly recommend it. It is as they describe it. The mango is also delicious and the portions sizes even for the "one scoop" are very large.

The lychee flavor was one of the best ice cream flavors I've had. I was surprised how good it was. The guava and Lucuma flavors were good. The seasonal peach flavor was just okay. I believe the prices are a bit higher here, but happy to pay a bit more for things you can't get elsewhere.

The Lucuma ice cream is incredibly delicious (I don’t even know what is Lucuma before). It has a caramel-like aroma and a texture similar to sweet potatoes. It’s very creamy with a bit of fibrous texture, and it’s not overly sweet. You definitely have to try it!

York Castle Ice Cream is absolutely fabulous. Hands down personal service and the best ice cream on the Pike. Taste a couple very exotic flavors and you'll be good, ooh so so good. Keep in mind sometimes they don't open on time, have faith they will open as soon as they can. Parking is abundant and free. It's like a quick trip to the islands, with our all that travel hassle. Beware this place and all is flavors are addictive, you've been warned. Don't forget to tip your super duper scooter.
