Testimonials

On 6/1/2026 JJJ SSS had this to say:
Best mangonada I've had anywhere. So glad we discovered Ale's!!!

On 5/28/2026 Percy had this to say:
My family got the Raspberry with Queso, Limon (Lime Sorbet), Ganzo in a waffle cone, and Pina Colada in a waffle cone. All of the ice cream was absolutely delicious. The lady at the counter was excellent at explaining and describing the flavors with great detail. The prices were good; absolutely worth every penny! The room was creatively decorated with a funky chair in the corner (shown in pictures) that delighted us all. Edit: my family has made it a new tradition that we stop here every time we pass through Bloomington. The service time, price, and food quality has exceed our expectations every single time, and there's always multiple yet-to-be-tried flavors. The owner is super friendly and he recognized my family, despite having only seen us one previous time (over six months prior).
