I've got to check this out. So, headed that way. When we arrived, we were greeted with a helpful and friendly vibe from the staff members behind the counter...along with the traditional ice cream shop aroma. As you look around...you'll begin to notice area nostalgic antiquities. This added a next level engagement, as we enjoyed our food and ice cream. Food-wise...we split the loaded nachos. Yummy!!!! I will say personally, I could have used a dab more of the pork...but, it was still tasty...as they were spot on with the amount if the other toppings. After that...we each got our own life cream and buy was it delicious! Definitely recommend and will return!!

The gentleman who took my order was friendly and helpful in describing some of the flavors of the 40+ they have to try. I went with the Exhausted Parent... the name says it all, but it is a coffee and bourbon flavored ice cream with chocolate chunks! SOOO GOOD! And got a Carmel Iced Latte for the road. Both are delicious. Perhaps my favorite feature of this cute stop was the bulletin board of gift cards... other patrons have donated money and filled out post it's with the instructions to take one if you fit the criteria. I absolutely love this idea! If you are ever in Marion, make sure you take the time to stop by for a sweet treat! You won't regret it!

Pie is the American dessert. And sugar cream pie, or Hoosier pie, is my favorite. My grandmother…read moreis long gone and I can't get sugar cream pie to set right, but I keep trying and keep searching for places that have it. The Pie Lady on 5 makes all kinds of pies, and does it right. She sells from her house, so check out the website, call ahead, and swing by. We got a basic sugar cream. The crust is perfect- flaky, light. The filling is kind of like custard- thick, sweet but not overly so, with a hint of coconut (must be an Indiana thing) and a sprinkle of nutmeg. I end up having it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a pie only lasts a day or so with us. It's not quite like my grandmother's, but it's close, and it's a great pie.

Although the restaurant…read more(next door) has been around for a long time, the ice cream shop has only been around about 5 years. They are next door to each other in the Bethel Pike Shopping Center north of McGalliard, so finding free parking was easy, though a little crowded. Inside the sweet shop, there are tables for guests who wish to enjoy their choices while there. At the back is a long counter with their buckets of ice cream on display. You can get samples of their flavors before purchase. Note on the right hand side is a list of daily specials that might be of use. There are also menu boards for pairings of ice cream and cookies that are available. I went with a lighter option and chose a raspberry sorbet (sherbet?) The woman behind the counter was friendly and promptly helped me with my order. She pointed out that my order qualified for a daily discount which I had missed. Very nice! Really nice tasting treat and a great price, especially with the discount. Review #3513

Ivanhoe's (Upland, IN) - it's shortcake season at Ivanhoe's!!…read more That time has arrived! Ivanhoe's is now serving one of their most popular and delectable dishes. Beware...the crowds are big and the lines are long. But...it's worth the wait!! At the bottom is a medium sized cube of slightly warm shortcake. It is moist, sweet and slightly firm. The top of the cake has a thin layer of almost crispy granulated sugar - more sweetness! The bowl is piled high with fresh, lush, red strawberries. Some sweet, most firm and a little juicy. A good sized dollop of vanilla soft serve and whipped creme lay on top. The combination is delicious! It easily feeds more than one dessert lover for about $9.50. Strawberry Shortcake marks the start of spring season. Make a special trip to Upland to visit Ivanhoe's if you have never been there!
