After many years of driving by this place, I finally stopped in to see what it was all about. In a…read morebeach town that's surrounded by a lot of ice cream/candy shops, you need to serve a great product & that's exactly what they do here. What they lack in store size, they surely make up for in the variety of ice cream they serve. They've been around since 1999 which speaks for itself. With over 25 delicious flavor options, their ice cream is handmade with quality ingredients. They let you sample as many flavors as you'd like which is always the fun part. Some of their regular flavors are vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, rocky road & mint chocolate chip while their "gourmet" flavors have a lot more components to them. Red velvet cake, Heath bar crunch, Cookie Monster & cherry vanilla are just the tip of the iceberg. Whatever you choose, it's going to be loaded with ingredients & be some of the best ice cream you can find in the area. They also take pride in serving fresh waffle bowls/cones & mouth watering candies. Everything is homemade so you can taste the difference when you eat their chocolate. It's rich, creamy & super flavorful. Whether you get their fudge or some chocolate covered potato chips, it'll leave your mouth watering. Be sure to take a few minutes by their display case to see all the unique candies they offer. It seems like there's always a line when I drive by but they keep it moving. The employees are always super nice & they're very efficient. Parking can be a little tough because of the way downtown is set up but don't let that dissuade you. This place is worth waiting a few minutes for.

If ice cream isn't your vibe, there's a cooler with cake and pie slices, as well as options like fudge and chocolate covered treats. Staff was friendly and sampling was allowed to help you decide from the many options. Just be careful to specify using their specific terms as my friend asked for a "small" instead of saying "1 scoop" and ended up with a double cone unexpectedly when the scooper brought it over. Everything was delicious!

The line…read morewas long, but the staff kept things moving quickly, and it's easy to see why this place is so popular. I tried the Road Trip flavor along with a seasonal vanilla and chocolate flavor, and both were rich, bold, and delicious. The portions were generous, and the ice cream held up all the way to the beach. The shop has a fun, nostalgic atmosphere with throwback toys and family-friendly vibes. I also loved being able to scan the menu while waiting in line. The cookies and giant fudge bars are definitely on my list for next time. A great ice cream stop that I'd happily visit again!

They offered several Blue Bell ice cream flavors, including a few I'd never seen before. As soon as I spotted the Banana Cream Pie flavor, I knew exactly what I was getting. Served in a fresh waffle cone, it was absolutely delicious! The creamy banana ice cream with pieces of vanilla wafer throughout tasted just like the classic dessert. In fact, it was so good that we came back the very next night...and I ordered the exact same thing again! The staff was incredibly friendly and worked nonstop. Despite a steady line of customers and what seemed like over a dozen to-go orders, they kept everything moving with a smile. There's something special about finding a small, local spot like this. Great ice cream, friendly service, and a relaxed roadside atmosphere made it the perfect place to end our evenings. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area! I snapped zero pictures. I guess I was too excited for my ice cream!

I ordered the 9 inch Island Cuban, which is mojo marinated pork, ham, Genoa salami, Swiss cheese, onions, and fresh pesto sauce on their homemade Cuban bread. It is pressed and served hot and ready!! So delicious! The flavors combined so well together and it made a great beach sandwich!

The ice cream was delightful, portion sizes were generous and overall delicious with a capital D! We ordered a total of 6 different flavors in ice cream cones & in cups with additional candy toppings to sweeten our treats. We needed a little extra help and appreciated the extra care given to our order because of peanut allergies... a fresh batch of cookie dough was brought out with a clean scoop to ensure no cross contamination occurred. The 2 young men servers were 100% awesome no only taking our "to go food" orders and dished up our ice cream, they also talked with our kids and made the night memorable.

We were hanging out at Opal Sands and my husband wanted ice cream. He walked over. It's next to a newly painted pink motel called Abode. It also has a unicorn bench in front. My fave ice cream here is Purple Haze - black raspberry with a black raspberry crinkle and dark chocolate raspberry cups. They did not have it though. He ordered us a dulce de leche and a red velvet scoop. Red velvet was better and dulce was too melted. They also have sorbets and milkshakes. The small scoop was quite big. I really wanted a kid's scoop which they don't offer. They gave him his scoops of ice cream and he came back quite quickly.
