While we waited outside there was gentleman playing music and singing praise to the Lord. Once we got inside you can see all the flavors of the board which helps a lot because we were helped almost immediately after walking in the door. The girl who helped us asked what kind of flavors were we looking for and she worked quickly to get us our treats. My kids ended up getting the chocolate peanut butter eggs and a scoop of cookie dough with caramel. It was a little pricey I think for both the kids ice cream was $17. Both of their ice cream flavors were spot on and tasted of good quality. Very fresh and the texture was very creamy and smooth. Overall it was delicious and we enjoyed our experience.

The line is very long for good reason: fantastic ice cream with so many flavor options! Cute story: in the long line our little girls made friends with the people ahead of us--and the gentleman insisted on paying for the children's ice cream. How sweet was that on Valentine's Day! To keep the spirit of love going, girls made a donation to a talented street musician nearby! We tried cake, mint chocolate chip, Oreo--all chock-a-block filled with the stir ins and flavor.

I was happy to see they offered a flight so there were less tough decisions that had to be made; I was not so happy about the price, which if I recall correctly was $12. But, hey, I was on vacation so I went for it any way. I chose the lemon blackberry bar, exhausted parent (bourbon spiked espresso with chocolate chunks), fat elvis (banana with peanut butter ripple and chocolate chips) and heaps of love (vanilla filled with oreos, brownies, cookie dough, pecans, caramel and chocolate ripple). I very much enjoyed them all with heaps of love being my favorite. I liked that they use wooden spoons rather than plastic.
