The Chill Spot - Ice Cream, Shaved Ice and More
301 3rd St NW, Attalla, AL 35954
While traveling through Attalla with our grandchildren, we spotted a brightly colored pink shop that seemed to be calling our name--or perhaps it was simply calling the grandchildren. Either way, stopping at The Chill Spot turned out to be a great decision.
Our impromptu visit became the perfect ending to an already wonderful evening.
Between all of us, we ordered shaved ice, a double scoop of banana pudding ice cream, a double scoop of cappuccino crunch, and a Superman with sprinkles. There wasn't a disappointed person in the group. In fact, I can honestly say that we have never enjoyed an ice cream stop quite as much as we enjoyed The Chill Spot.
There is something about this place that just feels happy. Maybe it's the bright pink building. Maybe it's the ice cream. Maybe it's watching your grandchildren try to decide what they want when everything looks good. Whatever it is, The Chill Spot lives up to its name.
As a dad and grandparent, I can easily recommend stopping here with the family. It also struck me as a terrific place for a child's birthday party.
And gentlemen, here's a little free advice: if you're looking for a simple, unexpected place to take someone on a date, forget trying too hard to impress her. Take her out for ice cream. A stop at The Chill Spot ought to bring a smile.
Sometimes the best memories aren't planned.
Ours just happened to come with sprinkles.
Five stars from this Poppy and his crew! read more
