There are also several tables and chair, chairs inside and a few outside for those nicer days.

We were warmly greeted and acknowledged when we walked in, and we took a minute to scan over the expansive menu. We both ordered single scoops of the ice cream, and were surprised and happy at the generous portion of ice cream. The ice cream was very creamy, thick, and had great flavor. The cotton candy with the pop rocks was a nice surprise. There are a few tables and a wooden bench along the wall for seating, as well as a long table attached to the wall with chairs. The decor was very Southern, with a Hey Ya'll sign on the wall, and a few quoted pictures around the walls. It was very cute. I will definitely return because of how close this location is to where I recently moved, and because of the variety and length of the menu. I would love to come back and try the bakery or coffee items. When we left, we were given a happy farewell.

The staff in the evening are young and very immature. Service is not their main concern. We were helped by a rude young lady, and we had a question about the size of the cups, she was actually annoyed that we asked and she held up the cups with a smirk and turned colleagues and started laughing... we placed our order and she waited on the next customers who got their ice cream 10 minutes before we did as ours sat on the counter and melted. before we were called. When the owner and managers are there during the day, the shop is well run, and the attitude is pleasant. But the evening was a we terrible experience. Bad service and warm ice cream!

It was a bourbon caramel scoop of heaven! I had it in a waffle cone, and when we walked into the place, it smelled like a waffle cone should!! That yummy vanilla smell that I just had to have my scoops in one. You should know one thing about me, I am not usually a person who gets a waffle cone, but they smelled so good. I couldn't pass it by. I felt bad for the girl behind the counter since she was the only one working that night but she made the orders happen quickly, and that was great. Atmosphere is not much of anything. It's just kind of a basic place didn't really seem inviting to me that I wanted to stick around so we took our ice cream to go. Definitely a winner hands-down I can't wait to go back and try more, It was that good. Finally, a great ice cream place nearby. Sorry I don't have any photos, I was too busy eating my ice cream that I couldn't put it down long enough to take a picture!

I was impressed to see such a lengthy menu, which so many options from funnel cake to fried Oreos to ice cream to waffles and boba tea. The man at the counter seemed to not be sure about a lot of the menu items and referred us to the kiosk for ordering and for item descriptions. I ordered mango boba tea with lychee jellies, my husband got the s'mores brownies and my mother in law ordered a waffle with strawberries and Nutella with chocolate ice cream. They both stated that the items looked exactly like what was pictured on the menu! The waffle and boba tea were good! My husband did not like the brownie but he did like the s'mores topping. He reported it was the most chocolatey dessert he's ever eaten so if you're into that then that may be the dessert for you! After 5-10 minutes of sitting about 5 bugs continued to swarm around our food. There was also a terrible odor at one point, not sure if it was from another customer or the restaurant but it lingered and caused us to leave. I don't think I will be back but I think it's worth trying at least once!
