It looks like most of the parking in the area is dedicated to staff and permits. We found a few metered spots down the street on Wallace and Beach. We tried cardinal tracks (chocolate ice cream with chocolate-covered raspberry cups and fudge swirls) and business brew (espresso and vanilla ice cream with espresso flakes and fudge swirls). The cardinal tracks were good but the espresso flavors from the business brew was nowhere to be found. It just tasted like another chocolate ice cream.

I'm creating a listing for this place because I think more people need to know about it. A great…read morelittle ice cream shop, with fair prices, sequestered away on the second floor of one of ISU's non-descript, grey-brick buildings. You may have to hike a little bit to get there, but the flavors on offer are more than ample reward. Be warned, however: in addition to being delicious, many of their flavors are riiiiich, so you may be tempted to use the little hand-wash sink in the small seating area to grab a quick swallow of water. Don't do it, you philistine! There are restrooms just down the hall with a drinking fountain you can use. Also, be sure to visit the courtyard on the ground level, and their awesome 'tribute to the Art of Dairy' cow-fountain, replete with bas-reliefs of the various stages of milk production.

We visited on a Friday afternoon around 2 pm and I was glad some of the baked goods were still available. I quickly picked up a few items: Dutch letters, almond horns, almond tarts, and blueberry filled Dutch windmills. The first three items have a strong but not overpowering almond flavor. I especially liked the almond horns which had a crunch but chewy and buttery texture. I also really liked the windmills and wished I had ordered the raspberry ones as well. It was buttery and flakey with just the right about of blueberry cream cheese filling.
