What an awesome local ice cream spot!!! Got the sampler (3 small scoops) in a waffle bowl. First off, the waffle bowl / cones are absolutely a must. They're SO good!!! The three flavors we got were all declious (wild berry, nearly awake, and the firewood). Would definitely go back and try all the other flavors, they are unique. 10/10 would go again

Hands down the best waffle cone I have ever had! The cones were freshly made upon ordering and still slightly warm. Ice cream was great, lots of different original flavors. Would definitely return.

The premier ice cream shop of Palmer! Next time you are in the valley area on the Palmer side, visit this place!!! I was instructed to do so and wow so glad I went with my family. We loved it!! So many options! We tried banana cream pie, strawberry delight, and round the campfire s’mores! WOW!!Incredible ice cream they make here!! HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHICH IS BEST?! Hard to do…..you will have to go here more than once I will say! Too bad I live in Anchorage……My kids were entertained watching them make it. Waffle cones or the waffle piece they give out is a plus! The team that works here were so nice to us during our visit. Making our stop very pleasant. Great job team!!!

I came with my family today for a nice treat after music lessons. The weather has been warmer so we wanted to get out for ice cream. Our ice cream was delicious and refreshing as usual. HOWEVER, 5 stars given because of Megan's customer service! So refreshing! She wasnt in a rush, wasnt overwhelmed when people started coming in and really just took her time with us as she did with each person/group after us. Mind you were a group of 8. She kept a smile and she didn't look like her mind was reserved elsewhere. Thank you Megan for your service today!

Cute little ice cream shop in Palmer with lots of unique flavors!!! Nephew got the green teach mochi and I had the sampler with all the berry flavors. Would definitely return if ever in this neck of the woods.
