After swimming on a beautiful day, we wanted some ice cream. I had heard of this place and thought…read morewe were close to it. Sure enough, only a couple miles away. We arrived after 3:30pm and were the only customers. The workers were friendly, explaining the process to us and answering any questions. My kids quickly gravitated to which paletas they wanted. My daughter wanted a Reese's paleta with Nutella drizzle and crushed Oreos on top. My son selected the Fruity Pebbles paleta with chocolate drizzle and sprinkles. It took me a bit longer to decide on my paleta. I decided the strawberry cheesecake is what I'd get. I had it dipped in white chocolate and topped with Graham cracker crumbs. These were all so delicious!! Each one of the paletas had such amazing flavor. They truly didn't even need to extra dips, drizzles, or toppings. Also worth noting is it's a beautiful space inside. Lighted sign, butterfly murals, and gorgeous colors. We truly cannot wait to come back!

The staff were friendly and helped explain some of their menu items. I wish the ice cream was a little thicker. They say their artic swirls are "what a blizzard wishes they were". But Dairy Queen you can tip their shakes upside down and spoon stays in shake and not a drip. My swirl was like drinking a shake. It was soft and almost like thick chocolate milk. It wasn't too bad though.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I wasn't impressed with the ice cream flavors here. I've never…read morebeen here before but my husband and I ate dinner nearby so we decided to stop here for ice cream. When I saw all the different flavors they had, I had high hopes. I thought their flavors would be unique and wonderful like Black Cat in Des Moines, but I was very disappointed. I usually ask for samples of two different flavors before I make a decision, but after trying two different samples and not finding either one interesting, I asked for two more. I wasn't wowed by any of them, so I chose the one I thought was the strongest of all of them: Dutch Letter. It was ok but I was expecting a lot more of the almond extract flavor. It was very subtle. I didn't find it rich or creamy either. It tasted like an ice cream I could get at the grocery store if they had that flavor. It was nothing remarkable. The most objectionable thing to me was the cost of the scoop of ice cream. It was $5.99 for a regular scoop! My husband and I were shocked. We thought that surely for that price the scoops must be enormous, but alas, they were just average-sized. I don't know how they get away with charging that much, but the place was filled with people so they must be paying for it. The place was cute and a good number of tables but won't be back. We'll stick to Black Cat.

Tucked into the recently opened Shops on Third complex, Gladdie's specializes in cakes and cup cakes, with the ability to customize your order for special occasions. They have seating for that treat you crave, and even sell Coca-Cola products! I like the interior and its overall vibe. I bought a Celebration Cupcake over the weekend, and it was sensational, perfectly crafted and adorned in fun vanilla cake and icing. I counted at least 12 cupcake or cake flavors.
