The owner is just the kindest lady who will go above and beyond for the satisfaction of her customers. I am gluten free celiac and everything needs to be nice and safe, she went beyond measures for me. Explained on the phone the process and helped me with picking flavors if they were safe. I got my cake with chocolate chip and chocolate, it was FAB. It's my 30th and they wrote it perfectly how I wanted it. I will forever be getting my birthday cakes here and just because ice cream cakes! (It's also a great deal)

Add vintage decor to the mix and you'd expect to be treated with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that matches the charm of the surroundings. Instead, when you get here is a fascinating, social experiment, showcasing today's youth and their apparent struggle to engage with actual human beings without the aid of a cell phone. Let me be clear. I did not see a cell phone in anyone's hand but there might as well have been. Smiles are scarce enthusiasm is nonexistent and interactions often feel like you've interrupted. Someone's very important mission of staring into the middle distance. The good news? The ice cream is absolutely delicious. In fact it's good enough to almost make you forget that ordering it felt like an inconvenience. And perhaps that's what it comes down to outstanding ice cream paired with mediocre service isn't really too much to ask for both a fantastic product and a friendly experience? Apparently, in today's world that may be setting the bar a little high. The verdict is still out. I'll happily return for the ice cream. Whether I'm returning for the hospitality is another story entirely.

As a first time customer, I was surprised to see a "small" which is supposed to be 2 scoops, but really I got 1 large scoop. At the register, it was clear there was a discrepancy in the size I got. One employee asked another employee if the second flavor was in the cup, and I stood there puzzled... if it isn't obvious then the scoops are too small.. when I got to the car, I had to look under the top scoop to find the "scoop" underneath, which essentially hugged one side of the cup, and was not close to a scoop. I thought it was just me, but after seeing similar reviews, this wasn't the first time.

The pricing is moderate here and they also offer DoorDash delivery. The place is order at the counter and there is table seating along the wall and front windows, plus a gumball machine. I ordered the fan favorite Turkey Apple Cheddar ($12 plus tax) making it Fat Larry-Double Meat (add $2) which was made to order promptly and wrapped to go. The sandwich had plenty of deli sliced roast turkey, cheddar cheese, romaine lettuce, apples, mayo, & an onion fig jam between toasted marble rye (my choice of bread). This sandwich was amazing and I will have to also try out their other sandwiches on my next visits to Fat Larry's.

They are allergy friendly. I mentioned a nut allergy and the staff member offered to open a new carton of ice cream to accommodate it, which I thought was very nice. They have every thing from ice cream to soft serve to slush to lattes. They even have homemade cookies and ice cream cakes. There creations are what makes them special - lattes, sundaes, tornadoes, nachos, stackables, etc. This is the only place where I've ever seen flavored soft serve like coffee, creamsicle, and pistachio etc. aside from the regular chocolate and vanilla. Watermelon dole whip aside from the pineapple. They also section to order from outside around the cornee (very easy to miss) and a small seating area next to it. Their ice cream is a bit too sweet for me, but I did enjoy the affogato which was soft serve and coffee. Their coffee tasted surprisingly good, so I will be back to try some of their very creative lattes. We also tried a stackable, which to me is a huge pre-made sundae. It is definitely a lot for one person and price is steeper at around $9-$12, but worth it if you want to share as there are a lot of creative options. I will also come back for some of their different flavored soft serve and the watermelon dole whip!

The prices are on the higher side for a local spot and they appear to serve Gifford's and a variety of ice cream products from different suppliers. The variety is worth the visit if you're in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way. It's a busy shop, expect a line especially on weekends. My main complaint was how long it took to order, I came in with a friend and there were 3 groups in front of us but we waited 25 minutes. I understand it was busy but they seemed short staffed having to juggle the walk up window and the line inside the shop.
