Adorable ice cream shop, very clean, & friendly service. Ice cream was delicious on a hot day. I got the banana split which was huge & Hubs got the seasonal flavor, Blueberry Profait, which he loved. Awesome little joint, must stop if in the area. I did notice a sign that said there is a cash discount, but we paid w credit card :)

The employee that was working was amazing. She made sure there were no peanuts in any of the ice cream I wanted to try. The food is very yummy. The place is very clean & cute. I also was impressed with how they fundraise for the school. I will definitely be going back.

We were in town visiting on a Sunday and decided to stop in for some frozen deliciousness. The building is old school but clean and nicely decorated. There was a nice selection of ice cream flavors to choose from. I had the Oreo Madness! It was great! They also have an air hockey table that you can play for free in the back of the shop! It's such a cute little ice cream shop! Be sure to stop if you are in town!

My friends and I stopped in here to get some late night ice cream and the staff were great. I of course got a unicorn milkshake, and it was pretty yummy. Be careful though, it melts quickly!
