Tried the traditional, which was my favorite, we also had a Lemon, and Cinnamon Sugar. They were all great. Wife said she enjoyed the Lemon. There is another flavor called Holy Hot, but we didn't try it. Also, added a half order of the biscuits and gravy, which was very good. We also each got coffee. I got an iced coffee and my wife ordered hot. Coffee was great as well. This is a small coffee shop, but has great service and food. Definitely worth a try. We drove out of our way for this and will do it again. Small town friendly service and atmosphere. I'd post pictures but we already ate everything. Lol

I've seen reviews for this place, but never knew where it really was. My husband and I went on a…read moreroad trip and stumbled across this cute little coffee/food shop. Many places to sit and eat too. We ordered coffee and their signature beignets just like New Orleans. We got the originals. They were hot and fresh and delicious. Our drinks were made and delicious as well. We had to wait on the beignets, but our waitress told us they'll be hot and fresh and they were. It was worth it. Many other things I'd like to try, but it was a quick stop. Next time I'd like to sit down and eat inside. Very quaint, very cute.

My go to is plain vanilla soft serve in a cup with Krunch Kote! It's a peanut butter flavored crunchy topping that I have dreams about. The googly eyes they put on everything is so iconic!

The place is immaculate and they have both indoor and outdoor seating options. For all my friends of the High Trestle Trail it literally is footsteps from their front door, you can eat their ice cream and ride your bike! WIN- WIN!!! The ice cream selections are amazing, and so many its is hard to choose, but i did! We got massive scoops of yummy, creamy deliciousness on a fresh and crispy waffle cone, of which they have several types to choose from. The workers on this particular day were fantastic, attentive and fast, They even hooked us up with some pup cups to go! (The dogs thank you!) If you are feeling like rewarding yourself or just have a hankering for something delicious and Ice Cream fits the bill, pop on in to the Uptown Dairy and try their treats! You will not be disappointed!

My pics show many of the displays still being filled but there is still plenty of opportunities for shopping enjoyment. Take your time looking at my pics, and you'll see their great variety. They are part general store, part board game seller, part restaurant plus a bunch of wholesomeness that you aren't going to find in any box store. The staff was quite busy but still incredibly helpful. There were two sets of cashiers for customers' convenience. This is a good place to browse (check out my ice cream island pic!).

This is a true general store stocking everything from dry goods to a small meat and cheese counter. The focus is on locally made products, but you can find everything you need here.

Since it was the food truck version, we don't get access to their complete menu so I got a Totally Henry's Obsession which is a vanilla ice cream base, red velvet ice cream and two small pieces of red velvet cake. I added the optional whipped cream and chocolate sauce. The texture was smooth and flavorful. I got a large and it cost me $10 total. I appreciated the fact that they were upfront and told me that I would get an extra charge if I used card instead of cash; I absolutely hate hidden fees so this was a boon. If you've never tried rolled ice cream before, you really ought to try this place.
