I sat at the soda counter and ordered strawberry pancakes with bacon, and I tried their root beer flight. Turns out they didn't have all of the root beers because one was discontinued or unable to be sent to them any longer so one of my root beers was an orange soda. I liked the opportunity to try these sodas on tap and not commit to one. That's a really fun idea. Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The bacon was good and I love strawberry pancakes so I'm a big fan when that's on the menu. I really didn't spend a lot of time there, but everyone was friendly and courteous and I didn't have to wait too long for anything from being greeted when I got there to being served. It was a great experience.

They have very unusual flavors there like caramel and chocolate with pretzels in it and several variations on moose tracks ice cream. In addition this is just about the cutest dessert store that I've ever seen! They have fun dispensers of M&Ms with all different color choices and they have a separate party room where you get to play kid games and still get to see what's going on in the main part of the store. In the store itself they have vintage games for kids and also modern takes on games that I haven't seen before. The woman who owns the store is also an engaging and interesting person who works there with her sister and also supports a local bakery that provides their beautiful cakes and cupcakes. Definitely a place to try if you're anywhere around Southwood. It's right in the heart at merchants Row and 4 Oaks Blvd.

When I think about going somewhere for some ice cream, quality definitely comes to mind. Why would…read moreI go to an ice cream shop if the ice cream tastes like it's store bought? In fact, the brand that is used here is Mayfield. I was not impressed at the fact that there are no options for toppings. I literally felt like I paid $4.75 for one small scoop of store bought ice cream in a basic cone.... (waffle cones were $1 extra) I can't knock that the store is very colorful and inviting. It would make any child's day to head here for ice cream and candy. (There is an entire wall full of various candies that can be selected and weighed. I noticed it was $10.95/lb. There are also a few tables where you can sit down and eat and a TV playing kid appropriate shows, but no sound. In my overall opinion, this place is extremely overpriced but cute. It will probably generate good revenue because of the location, but there are much better ice cream shops in town.
