Came here after having dinner nearby. It's a small ice cream/dessert spot. Their main offering is…read moreice cream with a small corner where they have other dessert options (e.g., chocolate). I ordered 2 scoops of strawberry pound cake and a vanilla flavor. It was served in a waffle cone, chocolate dipped bowl. The ice cream was good. The only complaint was that the store was fairly dirty and the beanie babies in the display had ice cream all over them. You could tell the kids were handling them. I don't think they'll sell with ice cream stickiness in the fur.

Taffy grapes!!!!!! Run, don't walk, to this bakery and go get yourself a big container of taffy…read moregrapes. I'm serious. We came across their booth at the Brookfield Farmers Market on Saturday. The man (I assume the owner) was so friendly and happy, and yes, he lured us with a free sample of taffy grapes. I knew this was going to be a sale when I saw how awesome the taffy grapes looked, and then when I tried one holy cow! They tasted like a mini caramel apple with nuts, except.. not an apple, a grape. And not too much caramel. Ooooooo sooo good. Just enough sweetness. We got a big cup of grapes to share later. I couldn't resist the cute little cake pops that were made in a tiny little ice cream cone cup. I got one for my mom and she really enjoyed it. Can't wait to come back to the market to get some more taffy grapes! I can't believe I neglected to take a photo but if you go to their website their grapes on the site look just like what they sell in person. MMM!

We came to TATES Old Fashioned for some Ice Cream and once we stepped in, it took us back in time…read more The whole place has that retro Americana feel. Route 66 signs, Coca-Cola decorations, black-and-white checkered floors. Felt like one of those old roadside diners from the 1950s. Honestly, the place has so much personality, not just another ice cream shop. The people working there were super friendly and nice too, which made it even better. I kept it simple and got a chocolate scoop in a waffle bowl. The ice cream was super creamy and refreshing. The chocolate flavor was rich but smooth. Classic old-school chocolate taste, deep cocoa flavor with that creamy finish that stays on your tongue after each bite. The waffle bowl added a nice crunch and that fresh waffle smell made the whole thing even better together. Simple order, but it really hit the spot. Definitely one of those places you come back to just for the vibe alone.

There was no one in the ice cream store and I ended up having to find someone from Bill's Place to make my milk shake. The prices are okay not too high. The milk shake was good, but nothing special.

Didn't offer to remake it. We took it and moved on. The matcha was very good at least! The staff could use some work. There was NO even simple apology, or even acknowledgment. Even walking into the shop, no acknowledgment, or welcoming/greeting. We gotta train people for customer service, being attentive, knowing what they are selling and how it can be made. The cashier was not friendly or welcoming at all.
