We followed it, half-joking about the odds of getting kidnapped, and instead found a tiny hidden treasure tucked into the heart of downtown New Albany.

After visiting Rec Bar, we walked around the block to a small, but adorable ice cream shoppe…read more Located down an alley, the shoppe is in a renovated garage. It's decorated beautifully for a trendy ice cream shop with plenty of photo opportunities around the shop. The owner/employee opened the shop for us - usually didn't open for a couple hours but welcomed our large group of 15 people in. The only ice cream available was vanilla and dole whip, but there were plenty of toppings and waffle cones to choose from. Prices are affordable and sizes are small or large. The pineapple dole whip is vegan and delicious. Only a few tables inside but fabric is LV. There are also "cloud" light fixtures and a ice cream garbage can. They even provide wipes on the tables for easy cleanups. Would recommend if you're looking to beat the heat and take some fun photos!

The employees were very friendly and quick to service. I ordered an extra-large house latte (it for sure lives up to its size-naming), and it was delicious. Ordered the wife a strawberry lemonade and she also loved it. My only complaint is a nitpick, the shop is small with not a ton of room to sit inside and less so outside. So when it's extra busy you'll really be getting everything to go but that's alright! We will be returning for sure, especially if we make any trips to the farmers market Saturday mornings.

You can try up to 3-5 flavors. Our first time in and everyone in line was raving about how amazing their ice cream was. I was so excited to have found this place from locals. I grew up with my family ice cream shop so I would say I'm an ice cream tasting professional... literally. Well... this is some of the best ice cream I've had in a very long time. It's worth the drive!! The shop is in a tiny little home and also has some extra space upstairs. They have tons of games, great old music, and usually a line out the door! It's well worth the wait.

I didn't set out looking for better ice cream…read more I set out looking for a local business to support. For years, my family and I did what most people do--we went to the big chain ice cream places because that's what everyone knows. Then one day I decided to try something local and found Uncommon Cups & Cones. What I expected was decent ice cream and the satisfaction of supporting a small business. What I got was better ice cream, bigger portions, lower prices, friendlier service, and a place my kids now ask to visit by name. Every visit feels like we're getting away with something. We spend less money than we did at the chain places, somehow leave with more ice cream, and the quality is better. I'm still trying to figure out how that math works. My kids absolutely love this place. They love the unique flavor names, they love the atmosphere, and they treat every visit like it's a special occasion. As a parent, that's worth a lot. What really separates Uncommon Cups & Cones, though, is the people. They were friendly from day one, but by our second visit they remembered us. In a world where it feels like most businesses barely acknowledge you're standing there, they make you feel like they genuinely appreciate you coming back. The shop has personality. The ice cream is fantastic. The prices are fair. The portions are generous. The staff is incredible. This is exactly the kind of local business people say they want to support. The difference is Uncommon Cups & Cones actually makes it easy. At this point, if Uncommon Cups & Cones ever goes public, my kids are prepared to invest their college funds.

Very tiny wine and charcuterie shop that is also attached to the Board and You Bistro and wine Bar…read more This particular portion of the company is strictly for purchasing wine bottles, charcuterie or setup catering events. It is in a downtown like portion of new Albany so you will need to street park. The few times I've went they have had a board and you punch buggie like car parked right in front of the entrance of this location. So that may be a good guide on where to park. In the past I had sampled some of the charcuterie and the cheeses, nuts and snacks in them are all very fresh and tasty. My wife had mentioned maybe having them cater our next big event. We recently stopped back in as my wife wanted to buy a bottle of a wine. She has never been a big wine drinker but she is starting to dip her toes into the wine world. At events with friends like bunco she has been trying some and likes it. So she came in here a novice looking for a recommendation on a good white wine that is a good start for someone who usually does not drink wine. The lady at the counter brought another gentleman who promptly suggested White Loire wine (vouvray). She gladly took his advice. I'm gonna be honest here for a second. There wasn't any prices listed that I could see. So I was kinda nervous what the damage was gonna be for a bottle. The dude could of really taken advantage of a few wine novices. However when the lady rung us up it was only $26. So not bad at all. The Bourbon I frequent is more than that. So no complaints here. After a few days my wife finally popped the wine cork. Which was a hilarious sight. As stated a few times already. She is new to the wine game. So we didn't have a wine cork. We used a steak knife and a some well timed and maneuvered rotations and viola the bottle came open. She really enjoyed the taste and I took a sample. I'm a Bourbon man and not much on wines. But it was solid. She was extremely satisfied overall. So we had a really god experience and a great customer service experience. They very much could of swindled us or tried and upsell us a crazy expensive bottle and changed the whole experience. Overall really nice place. Good cheese and snacks and a nice wine selection.

There isn't a big menu visible and the girl behind the counter wasn't helpful at all. We realized there was a small paper menu available. I got a hot fudge sundae. The fudge was not hot and there was caramel on it (not requested by me). It costs $9 and was pretty small. You can definitely tell the ice cream is home made, but not in a good way unfortunately. This place is super cute so I hope they get better employees and step up their ice cream game.

Those definitely brought back some happy childhood memories. The inside definitely looked like an old school bakery/ice cream shop. They have baked goods and milkshakes. As I'm browsing, the cake slices are probably bigger than my head, and there were of course other options. I got a red velvet cupcake that was bigger than your average cupcake. I forget how much I paid but pricing was reasonable for the size. I sat at one of the tables and ate the whole thing. I typically can't eat all of something so sweet but, somehow managed to eat that. The cupcake was fluffy and the right kind of soft. Not over baked or under baked. Service was decent. Employee behind the counter just basically took my order and didn't make any recommendations or anything, other than that no complaints. Will I come back here? Absolutely. When? Not sure, if you have a sweet tooth and you're at Haucks, The Post, or any other places nearby, definitely come here!!!

So we are going to eat inside too, not just enjoy the views through the windows. Did you collect toys as a child? The Star Trek and Star Wars movies were apart of my childhood. At every turn the figures adorn every place. It's great! Did you watch the Jetsons? You can find those episodes here with all the characters. Just cannot put a price on the "good old days feelings. And I have the children to enjoy and be entertained along side me. Now the food is your typical cafeteria diner food. It's good eats, but it's way the food is prepared, presented, and perceived. Now this was a sit down diner that had been here in the same spot for over thirty years. It's still prepared the same way. Now the food presented is the best of all. Remember when we went to school as a young child. Mama made lunch and put your drink in a thermos and the rest in a metal lunch box. That's the way your food is served . The perceived point is the follow up. Your past experiences and days are in front of you the individual. You have the ability to see yourself and make new meaningful connections along side that you can share them with. Thank you to the married ladies and will be back again. Now each offering they offer a vegan choice soup and meal . All the food is prepared in front of you. It's delicious!

This is such an adorable shop, full of items sure to contribute to a world-class, delicious meal!…read more I explored New Albany for a bit today and wandered into Underground Station and into The Olivet. This store is small, but it's filled with so much. I loved the balsamic vinegars and olive oils that line two of the walls. Each type is available to sample from large, steel dispensers with a spouts. That's how I fell in love with the raspberry balsamic vinegar. It's sweet and rich, with a bit of tart. The shop owner came over and explained to me how she sources both the balsamic vinegars and olive oils from California. Some of the balsamic vinegars are thick and dark, like molasses. That's because they have been aged for 20 years. Others are much thinner and lighter and are younger. There are benefits to both. Maybe this is a sign of me becoming more refined in my culinary preferences, but I would have never geeked out over some flavored EVOO or BV when I was younger. In the past, those were the cooking ingredients relegated to the back of the cabinet or as the almost silent back-up singers of a dish. But I've grown to love tasting all the varieties and learning how best to use them, such as in cooking and on salads or even drizzled over ice cream. The Olivet also has a wall of spices, including special spice blends. These. Smelled. Amazing. Can't wait to try the "Napa Valley Blend" I came home with. This shop also sells lotions, body products, artisan chocolates and other bits of delight. I could tell that the owner is passionate about what she does and sharing it with others. The Olivet also just celebrated its first anniversary. Congrats, Olivet!

The options for oils and vinaigrette are shocking. That's before you hit the wall of spices.

Also, feel free to check out the fresh-baked, delicate desserts in the back cases. I finally found squid ink pasta, so I'm excited. You definitely won't be confusing this with a stop in the baking aisle of your local grocery store. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly! You have to check out The Olivet if you want to take your cooking to the next level.
