A quiet, friendly, casual hideaway with imaginative ice cream, neighborhood charm and lots of comfort food on the menu. Background and first impressions: We visited as a family in early March (before the pandemic announcement) and were welcomed in in the later afternoon, when there were few people around and when it was a little chilly outside. The interior is really cozy and charming, and we felt at home - the lady at the cash register near the front confirmed with us that we were eating in, and she showed us a nice table for the six of us. Our waitress (super nice, with glasses) came by to drop off the menus and gave us some time to think. Menus and food: We were hungry from hiking around the Poconos area, and the menus listed lots of options! My parents are vegetarians, and our waitress was happy to point out their options. We split some appetizers (the loaded nachos are incredible, the cheese dip was delicious), got a hot or cold drink each (the dollops of whipped cream on top of the hot chocolates are generous and tall!), and a sandwich (came with chips and some pickles) each. The food was fresh, the greens were crunchy as the chips, and everything delicious and easy to put away. At the end even though we were stuffed, the ice cream flavors were too interesting to pass up - our server suggested we get the sampler platter where we can all share little scoops of SIX flavors! Dessert: We all were able to enjoy the ice cream at the end of our meal, and when the server asked us which was our favorite, we realized most of us chose a different favorite from each other, which just goes to show how good the ice cream is that there truly is something for everyone. (my favorite was the pistachio.) In conclusion: Although it was a slower time of the day and the sun was setting, we never felt rushed and yet also felt very much taken care of. We didn't mention it at the time but we were in town to celebrate my father's 60th birthday, and he surely enjoyed this part of the weekend as a great memory.
Ice cream is among the best. Very special. Even the chocolate chips in the mint chip tasted special. The gentleman (guessing proprietor?) was there by himself in what used to be a dining-room turned storage/renovation project during covid (guessing). He was only taking orders through a sliding glass window like some kind of ice-cream pushing street dealer. He was also handling a larger food order so kindly shooed us away from the front of the store for thirty minutes while he worked on it. First reaction "ugh!", second reaction "if there's a wait there's a reason". We walked around town and went back in thirty minutes. The menus are taped in the window panes on 8x11 papers. They had a selection of by the scoop/sundae/shakes, and a longer list by the pint for take away. Since this place was so challenging to get an order in, we ended up adding on a few more things to the ice cream order - like a fig "pizza" (kinda a flatbread) and Arnold palmers, it was a hot day and they were refreshing. It might have been fresh squeezed lemon juice. And added some dog ice cream since my dogs are my babies now that kids are in camp. The dog ice creams (bananas, cream, peanut butter) were frozen solid even by the time we made it back to my friends house 20 minutes away. Food all looked interesting. This gem is a little advertising and an employee or two away if it can find good people from being a destination worth the trip. But for now, it's quirks are just fine. I have to imagine the pandemic criminally crippled a gem like this so I am happy spending whatever I can to help with a turnaround. Looking forward to making a few trips if I can make it there during the odd hours it's able to open.
Sweet creams? More like sweet dreams! I could use that incredible Waldorf sandwich right now...or that smooth peach ice cream! ++ Waldorf: chicken salad sandwich with a difference...the crunchy nuts, green apple, grapes, tender chicken, flaky croissant...PERFECT Ice cream: we tried the peach and cream flavours, and both were to die for Ambience: cozy but charming space, enough customers to feel the buzz, an service was quick and to the point We'd come back in a heartbeat.
Warm Saturday afternoon, decided to cool off with some sweet treats at this cafe. Small storefront that includes a few tables and chairs outside as well as seating inside. Didn't want anything too heavy, so ordered the Affogato ($5.25) - a combination of espresso, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream all in a to-go cup. Coffee is certainly bitter, helped by the sweetness of the other two ingredients. Wish there was more ice cream overall, seemed like I was left with a lot of whipped cream and coffee halfway into the dessert. Overall fine spot, think I would opt for just ice cream the next time around.
Ah everything is here made from a scratch. Very sweet owner too.. I asked him for a basil lemonade - I believe he makes them to order. So kind. I'm getting Frozen chai as well. One of their TOP drinks. The business here took a hit because of pandemic and I hope they stay open. They are toooooo good also - they take Apple Pay (boom!)
Cute little cafe on Main Street in Stroudsburg. The menu was limited to appetizers, salads and sandwiches and of course homemade "sweet cream" ice cream creations. I had lunch there on a chilly rainy day so soup was on my radar. Italian wedding soup was the soup of the day by cup or bowl. I ordered a cup thinking it to be a standard diner cup size but to my surprise it was served in an oversized mug but only half filled. It was tasty with lots of round pastry na and Italian style tiny meatballs with spinach. The was no trace of any chicken meat as is often found in this soup. It was hot so I was happy. My sandwich choice was called a Smokey Mountain and was served on the crispiest croissant I have ever had. It was sufficiently loaded with smoked turkey breast and smoked Gouda,and plenty of crispy bacon garnished with lettuce and a ripe tomato and an onion mayo which wasn't overpowering. Served warm , it was very tasty. Having saved room by taking half my sandwich to go it was time to try a dessert-Ice Cream! I ordered the Brownie Sundae with Butter Pecan ice cream, hot fudge and of course whipped cream with a cherry on top. All I can say is "sweet cream goodness!". It was creamy, the brownie was a real homemade brownie and the hot fudge sauce was actually hot! Perfect ending to a really enjoyable lunch. Although the prices are a little bit high for a college town budget the quality was there. If in the area-try it!
Amazing!! Walking in, I would have guessed this place was opened in the past two years. It has one of those modern retro vibes. I was shocked to learn it has been in business for over 30 years. My in-laws absolutely love this place and have been going there pretty much since it was open. First of all everything is squeaky clean. Not a crumb on the floor. The decor is extremely cool with a rock 'n' roll vibe and music playing over the speakers. Staff was super attentive and friendly. My wife has food, allergies, and they went overboard, accommodating her every request. I had the clam chowder which was a 10 followed by a roast beef sandwich, another 10, followed by strawberry ice cream, hot fudge with bananas and whipped cream. Absolutely wonderful. I can't recommend this place enough. What are the best food experiences I've had. Thank you so much! read more

I asked for a sample of their homemade ice cream and the server gladly complied. it was very good! too bad I was full, definitely next time. read more

I've loved this place since I was in high school. It's a really nice little Cafe with an atmosphere similar to an old school malt shop. They always have some kind of imaginative, interesting new special up on the board. The food is good value and it's delicious. It's a perfect brunch spot. read more

Still .. love..this..place.. Quaint and delicious food. I had the Reuen sandwich which was great along with the basil lemonade which quenched my thirst on such a hot and humid day!! Next time I will try the "Blueberry Hill" sandwich on a croissant.. my partner in crime had it and it looked and tasted fantastic.. It was paired with a perfect root beer float made with vanilla bean ice cream. read more

Stopped by for lunch after antiquing. Really cute place! Service was lovely, interior was cozy, and the food was spot-on. 3 of us waited a few minutes and were quickly seated at a booth. My lady friends had a chicken Caesar salad and some sort of delicious sandwich. I had the Highlander and a lemonade. The Highlander was as good as it sounds/looks, and I couldn't exactly finish it. The lemonade was good and fresh but a tiny bit too sweet for me. Definitely recommended if you're in the area. read more

This is such a cute little cafe. I was here to try their homemade ice cream. I tried the red velvet, cappuccino and pumpkin. I thought the red velvet was a bit too sweet. The cappuccino was amazing!! I ended up getting 2 scoops: cappuccino and pumpkin. Will definitely come back to try their sandwiches and other stuff. read more

We stopped here on a road trip because it is just off of exit 307 on I-80. We purchased a sandwich and a salad with basil lemonades and we genuinely enjoyed every bite of both meals. The basil lemonade was so fresh and tasted like summertime. The salad was masterfully executed and every bite was the perfect combination of fruit, spinach, romaine, and cheese. I wish we lived closer because this would absolutely be a regular hangout for us. Our meals took 5-10 minutes from order to table and our waitress was attentive and quick to provide recommendations and got us in and out in 30 minutes. We grabbed two ice cream cones for the road and the ice cream we tried (blackberry with chocolate chips) was creamy and smooth with high quality dark chocolate chips. The cones were fresh and the scoops were generous. If you're near exit 307 (Stroudsburg) and passing through I would urge you to skip the McDonald's/Wendy's/Panera's and check out this quaint little spot. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised and leave a little more refreshed than you came in. Parking is around the back of the building. Could be challenging to park if you have an oversized vehicle. A standard SUV or regular bed truck should be fine as long as it's not a high traffic hour. read more

1st timers as a group of 4. Had a cute coffee house type feel. The hot chocolate looked decadent & tasted great. We shared the potato wedges which were plated nicely. I ordered the Avacado Melt which was very flavorful & filling, almost forgot I was eating vegetarian type food! The service was okay, felt things took a little long. But overall was well worth it & next time I'm back in the Poconos will stop here again. read more
