Had a great experience here. Super sundaes are my favorite. Make sure to have someone with you as they are large in size.

This is the smoothest soft-serve I've ever had! Try it dipped in cherry! I also feel like you can never go wrong with the flavor of the week in a vanilla twist! So good!!! And, of course, my dog always gets a pup cup ❤️

Ice cream was great, employees were great but they served raw peanuts on their ice cream. It's like having a raw soybean. Horrible. Salted peanuts. Dry roasted peanuts. Raw peanuts were horrible. Ruined whole dessert. And the aftertaste of the raw peanuts.... for hours. This is a fail. Ugh. If this is a tradition, it's one that needs to be changed. Yuck.

It is so yummy and cute here! I love the ice cream and the eyeballs just make me smile. Great customer service and amazing atmosphere. So nice on a hot afternoon. The ice cream was so big I couldn't finish it.

It gives off a small town ice cream shop juxtaposed in the bustling Johnston suburb. The strawberry shortcake is a supreme sundae. The sundae itself is very delicious!
