    Would easily and readily recommend stopping here for some ice cream! It was over 90 degrees and about 3pm on a Sunday afternoon when we came by. There wasn't much of a line, and we got to try a couple of flavors before landing on their Black Rock and The Drive Home flavors for our two scoops ($7). We also got a doggy scoop ($1) for our dog, which was a frozen mixture of banana, yogurt, and peanut butter. First, our dog loved his scoop! It was nice to be able to treat him to something tasty and cold, too. We got to chill together on the covered outdoor patio and enjoy our treats! Next, the Black Rock was a nice chocolate ice cream with generous, moist chunks of brownie and chocolate chips. The cinnamon flavor is pretty light - my partner didn't even notice it was in there (he doesn't usually like cinnamon, so that wasn't a bad thing!). The Drive Home was a nice, creamy coffee ice cream. A super tasty, safe choice for coffee-lovers! Overall, the ice cream here is super smooth, creamy, and tasty! The textures and flavors were perfect, though you'll have to enjoy it pretty quickly when you're out in the summer heat (not that that would be difficult lol). The scoops are also pretty decently sized. We'll definitely come back at the next opportunity!

    Great homemade ice cream and great service. The owner and his wife are super nice folks and were a pleasure to talk to about the local attractions and history of the town. A must-do if you're passing through on your way to Mammoth or Lake Tahoe. Just be sure that you coordinate your itinerary/this stop between late March/early April and late October when they are open for business. Additionally, they are closed on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to make their fresh ice cream per the owner. Our favorites were the blackberry blarney and the pistachio.

    Honey lavender with a bonus taster of blueberry beret. Root beer.

    Man this place is great! First off, hats off to Paul, the owner, who was so kind and welcoming. We must have talked for 10 minutes at the window before even ordering. He later came out and chatted with us while he closed up shop. He takes his business seriously and makes seriously good ice cream! The shop is closed Tues-Thurs to make the ice cream for the week. That's some dedication! This place is about as quaint as it gets -- whimsical and fun too. Hard to believe it used to be a law office! If you're into gourmet ice cream, this is the place for you. This is ultra premium ice cream, similar to Van Leeuwen in LA or McConnells in Santa Barbara -- we are talking 16% milk fat creaminess with ultra premium ingredients. Every had root beer ice cream? Too late now, as it is out of the rotation, but he still has blueberry beret and honey lavendar! I'm sure by the time you read this there will be new and unimaginable flavors on offer. At $5 for two scoops of heaven, it is a deal. Where else are you going to have such an amazing dessert with a view of the Eastern Sierras? If you are driving through, please stop by and say hello from us and eat some delicious ice cream!

    Today's flavors.

    We can't go through independence without stopping for this wonderful ice cream. We really enjoyed our conversation with Paul today. I typically only want something with chocolate, but I was adventurous today and tried something called summer salad. It's strawberries and the balsamic vinegar. It's quite a lovely ice cream and I'm glad I tried it. My husband was so excited they were open that he got two scoops. He tried a banana coconut and a chocolate malt ball ice cream. He was quite happy with both of his selections. Can't wait to return again!

    Delicious artisan ice cream with unique flavors.  This is a scoop of honey lavander, banana cabal and pistachio.

    See all

The restaurant was nearly full when we arrived but no one was taking advantage of the outdoor seating. The menu and prices are what you would expect from a typical American-style diner. The desserts, though, are several cuts above. It was already 2pm when we arrived (the restaurant closes at 3pm) and I was surprised to see that there were still desserts available, as they were sold out on every one of my previous visits. I've always wanted to try one of their pies. Unfortunately, the only pies left were whole pies and, though I was sorely tempted, I knew that I would end up eating the whole pie at one sitting. Instead, I ordered the peach blackberry coffee cake. Wow! I don't know who's doing their baking for them, but their talents are being wasted in Lone Pine. That coffee cake in an L.A. restaurant would be featured in Eater LA at a minimum.

She has the perfect personality to keep the ambiance at the restaurant high energy and fun. Should she ever leave this place, the ratings would likely be closer to a 2-3 star.
