They just wrapped up their first year in the area. We were new to the area when they were setting up, and every time we drove by, we stopped to see if they were open.
They don't have a crazy selection. Their soft serve is pretty standard, and they do Hershey's brand for hard. I think we went here the most though until they closed for the season, for two main reasons.
1.) The staff. The staff never once let us down. They were always nice, friendly, and didn't make the routine disappointing mistakes that so many places make when they hire middle schoolers to run the place. We must have come here several dozen times and were never let down once.
2.) The stackers. Compare to Dashers from Carvel, it's just ice cream layered in toppings. The thing we usually end up talking people through at other ice cream places that don't offer these.
There's only so much you can do with plain soft serve, but making them with hard ice cream gives you legit options. Reese's with Cappuccino Crunch gives you the peanut butter coffee combo I'm crazy about. After a few rounds of research, I settled on my finished product. Ice cream cake stacker with oatmeal cookie ice cream, adding a layer of peanut butter sauce. Whipped ice cream cake frosting, cookie layers in the middle, and of course the peanut butter wherever possible. I think at that point it's only about half ice cream. By the time we caught on they were closing, I got this at least a few times a week.
Honorable mention goes to German Chocolate with the caramel and coconut crunch. The pumpkin one was pretty good once they put it on special.
I started following their page on Facebook, because they occasionally did daily specials. They did no-bake cookie stackers, which people say was amazing. The best ice cream I've ever had was no-bake cookie flavored, and when I heard about this I was determined to get one. I would have called out of work to get it if I had to. Somehow I managed to miss it every single time. I'd just go the whole day without checking only to see it later that night. Next year I'll be ready.
We just got settled in this year and didn't get to explore ice cream like we wanted to. I will say though, this place was one of the best, and I'm sad they're closed for the season. read more
