    a display of cups - A shop window displays a variety of paper cups for ice cream and slush, labeled with sizes such as regular, large, and jumbo. The cups are arranged on a counter, with signs indicating different cup types and sizes, including slush and furrie options. The background reflects the street scene outside, with some reflections of trees and vehicles.

    Every time I'm in Reading, I HAVE to stop Dandi-Lyons! Luckily, I got my last visit of the season in tonight. Since it's the end of the season, there weren't many flavor options left, but luckily they still had my favorite--moose tracks! I ordered a regular scoop in a cup, and it was packed to the brim with 12 ounces of ice cream. I love the mix of chocolate and peanut butter without one overpowering the other. I also tried the chocolate overload, which truly lived up to its name! It might be too much for those who aren't hardcore chocolate lovers. I usually like to get my ice cream with rainbow sprinkles, and at Dandi-Lyons, all toppings cost about $0.50-$1.15 extra. However, it's worth the slight up charge because the ice cream itself is very reasonably priced. Other popular flavors in my family include purple cow (black raspberry ice cream with white chocolate chips) and chocolate soft serve. There's also some allergy-friendly options! My cousin has a nut allergy, so all we have to do is let the waiter know before ordering his ice cream and they will make it separate and pay special attention to avoiding allergens. I can't say enough nice things about Dandi-Lyons, it truly is one of my favorite ice cream places of all time!!

    A large chocolate / vanilla soft serve swirl

    Such great ice cream! Love Dandi-Lyons - delicious ice cream that reminds me of summers growing up in northeastern MA! Dandi-Lyons has a huge menu of hard serve, soft serve, and hard yogurt (and the hard serve is from Richardson's) - you can check their Facebook or Instagram for the flavors they are currently serving. Despite the array of options, I love a traditional chocolate/vanilla soft-serve swirl - always creamy and refreshing on a warm summer evening! Good prices and big portions - definitely a spot to check out if you love ice cream!

    Black raspberry soft serve!

    Ice cream is from Richardson's, not their own. Just ok, nothing special. On the sweet side and a bit bland.

    Cheap and YUMMY . I think that is all I can say . Soft Serve is as good as Carvel and the hard ice cream ( peanut butter cup) was amazing.
