Highly recommend!

We popped into Best of Thymes while milling about in downtown Pella. We are suckers for cooking…read morestores and what not. The store is small (as is expected for a small town downtown shop) but packed to the gills with cooking wares, utensils, food and more. For such a small place it really had a nice little selection of things. There were lots of cheese ball mixes, drink mixes, holiday treats (as it was December) to go with cooking pans, utensils, dinner ware, etc. Really, for a small town, this was a pretty cool little store. This is really the store to go if you have friends or family that like to cook and you need gifts for them. Small but cool selection for lovers of cooking, baking and entertaining.

I would say that it is best to avoid registering there or buying from a registry.

I was passing through town on my way home from visiting with relatives on a Sunday afternoon. As I…read moregot close to this location, there were cars parked everywhere and people standing around outside. Of course, I was interested in seeing what all the commotion was about. As I circled around the block I could see that people's vehicles were not just parked in the lot and across the street. They had also parked all the way down the street and around the corner. I recognized the name as a place to get ice cream, and it was a warm day so I decided to stop. They have a drive-thru, a walk-up window, an indoor soda fountain-type seating area, and overflow seating in a large, attached room. I ordered an M&M Twister, which is their version of the DQ Blizzard. It was just as good any other ice cream I've had. I noticed they also serve regular food, and there were people calling in for pickup orders while I waited for my Twister. I would point out that although there were people all around, I was only second in line at the walk-up window. It only took a couple of minutes to get my order, and the 12 ounce "small" Twister I ordered was only $5.00 plus tax. I know I've paid more for less at other ice cream shops. I'll definitely stop in the next time I'm in the area. MaybeI'll try the food there, too. It sure smelled good.

Fantastic flavors, a super cute shop, and the friendliest crew around. Pro tip: if your group is getting different kinds of cones, speak up early and keep your order straight -- they want to get it right for you, so do your part and don't send them into a cone chaos spiral! Shoutout to Ryker specifically -- he's the kind of person who makes a good stop a great memory. Go. Now.

They also gave also multiple free samples. It was very clean but the tv has Chanel 13 and not fox. So I'm very disappointed.
