FAQs

Are drinks part of the experience?

The Tasting Room experience will not include alcoholic beverages.  But future Tasting Rooms will include pairings with wine & cocktails so stay tuned!

What ages is this event geared towards?

All ages are welcome for the seated tasting experience.  Some of the flavors and techniques may resonate best with more mature palettes, and the flow of the event is more leisurely than our normal ice cream service, so we suggest age 15+ as a loose guideline.  

Is there parking?

There is free street parking, as well as a 2 hour free lot in Rozzie Square, near the commuter rail.

sweeties is nut-free, right?

Yes, we are 100% nut-free.  Please reach out with any allergies or dietary restrictions ahead of time so that we can do our best to accommodate you. 

I might want to tip my server.  Is that possible?

Yes, of course.  And thank you!
