What better way to celebrate your birthday than with one of your favorite food groups...ice cream…read more Yes, it is a food group and if anyone tells you differently you do not need that kind of negativity in your life. Stopped in here following lunch, to find a bright spot in the food scene - I succeeded! A great little place, with fantastic ice cream, and nostalgia tucked in the corner candy section. I wanted one of everything on the menu, it was hard to make my decision. Opted for a Sunday (I was actually there on a Subday and found it fitting). The staff were friendly, the shop very neat with quirky pieces of furniture. Great place to stop on Route 66 for a refreshing treat. Date night, meeting friends, family outing, or to celebrate milestones...ice cream should always be part of the equation.

Extensive menu, so many choices my wife had a difficult time deciding. Core cream was creamy & delicious. Good size portions. Surprised they weren't busier on a warm evening(to be fair it is December). Only negative was one employee spent a little too much time staring at us. Granted we are from out of town, but it was a bit uncomfortable to say the least.

After a while, a server finally appeared, but the service didn't improve much from there. They don't offer any veteran or nurse discounts, which was a bit of a letdown. To make matters worse, when I asked the server not to tap my credit card, he still did it anyway, and his response was just a casual "my bad." It felt like he didn't really care about the customer experience. Definitely not the best impression, and I won't be coming back anytime soon. I know providing a low review is not popular with the community but I do not want someone to experience this sort of behavior.

For example they had a cookies and cream flavor unlike the common recipe and uses chocolate ice base. I also tried the London Fog tea flavor which was unique and very bright on the tongue. There were a few dairy free and vegan options but not many. You can check their facebook or call ahead to see those selections if needed. The shop offers ice cream scoops in all sizes and even kids eat free with an adult purchase. There is seating in the shop and outside for good weather days. It is pretty accessible as the front door and bathroom doors were light to pull open. The view to see the ice cream selection was at a reasonable height for folks in wheelchairs and kids to see everything well. This shop is very LGBTQ friendly and offers as a great space to gather for everyone who wants to enjoy a sweet treat.

Small, vintage style ice cream shop with broad flavor offering. Seems popular as the line was…read morepretty steady. Wanted a two scoop cup with Moose Track and Chocolate Chip cookie dough. They were out of Moose Track so I ordered the extreme moose track in place. Was disappointed though when I asked for fudge and server said "I mean, I can...." In an irritated tone, then proceeded to scoop off nearly all of the second flavor to put fudge on top. I would have rather her explain to me the issue than charge me for to flavors and give me one. What I was left with was choc chip cookie dough with fudge, which was okay. The ice cream did not stand out as anything beyond what you'd find at a common shop like Marble Slab or Coldstone. A decent local option if you're nearby but it worth going out of your way. Ended up eating maybe half and throwing the rest out.
