The staff is so friendly, with lots of recommendations for their favorite flavors. The store itself is covered head to toe in fun souvenirs and various snacks (fudge to taffy to everything in between). It's easy and comfy and welcoming. The main attraction for me is the ice cream and it is exceptional. My favorite flavor on this trip was the Graham Central Station (graham cracker and honey focused) and it paired well with the pumpkin and key lime pie flavors but tasted great on its own. Excited for my next trip so I can try all the other flavors.

While the desserts are heavily dairy based, some fruit and sugar options are available for those indeed. I landed on a banana Nutella popsicle. The flavor was as rich as I'd hoped. Paying in cash got me a slightly lower price. The atmosphere was chaotic and it took longer than needed to get service, but I suspect most people were happy once they got their dessert.

I loved the store from the moment I walked in, with the quirky ceiling and stacks of old books. There are two floors of books with scattered vintage items here and there. Downstairs, I found the coffee and pastries. I picked up a Raspberry Crisp to take home. All the cookies looked yummy. Upstairs, there are children's books in a section and then other adult books. I could have spent hours browsing. The staff as welcoming and friendly. There is plenty of parking in the little strip mall. This is a fun, independently-owned, place for a book lover to come on a rainy (or sunny) day.

I may have to come back and try one or two. All in all a great selection of great dessert with a nice atmosphere and friendly service.
