It seems they are experiencing an employee shortage (and grammar deficiency). See attached photo.

The shop itself is on the smaller side, and yes, the prices are definitely Vail prices. But the customer service was excellent, the ice cream tasted fresh and homemade, and every visit was a pleasant experience. My son absolutely loved the matcha ice cream, while my daughter couldn't get enough of the cotton candy flavor. With so many options in Vail competing for your attention, it's always a good sign when a place convinces you to come back the very next day. If you're looking for a sweet treat while strolling through Vail Village, Joe's is well worth the stop.

However, Higgles was definitely a step above, and I wish I could have regular access. I prefer Higgles' Honey Lavender to Salt n Straw's Honey Lavender! Their Pistachio flavor was also very good, as it tasted closer to real pistachio than artificial pistachio, which tends to resemble more of an almond flavor. I loved that there were tons of flavors to choose from, and I wished I could've sampled more, but they do have a 2 flavor sample limit per person.

There's a 5% service charge, and a 3.5% credit card fee (this fee can be avoided by paying in cash). So by default if a credit card is used, that's already 8.5% extra in fees!
