The ice cream bar is in the back of the store. The selection was very creative. I had a scoop of something that sounded strange but tasted delicious. The lady behind the counter was very nice and helpful. There's limited seating but it's available. Most of the store is well stocked with a nice selection of outdoor clothing and accessories. I loved the section offering unique hand crafted bowls, boxes and other tableware. Some appeared to be from local artisans. It's a great little shop to visit when you are in the area.

Our family visited Mason's Sweet Shoppe at about 12:30 pm last Saturday & there was only one other…read moresmall family inside. We had been wanting to visit for a while as other mason jar ice cream joints are usually at the beach or in large cities. Mason's has a bright and clean small interior with maybe four tables. There was no outdoor seating. The chairs they had were metal chairs that are not the friendliest for plus size people as they can be narrow and tight on the sides, but these were not as bad as most. Also, there was no physical menu that showed pictures of each of the mason jar sundaes, just the descriptions. They did have television screens showing pictures of each sundae, but you had to wait for each picture to pop up throughout the slideshow. The pricing for the mason jar sundaes is $10 each and the price does include the mason jar to take home. Compared to the prices at similar shops in larger cities and beaches, those tend to run $15 or more. We got the Razzle Dazzle, Cookie Monster, a scoop of Oreo ice cream & a scoop of coconut fudge ice cream. The scoops of ice cream were both flavorful, creamy & full of mix-ins. The Razzle Dazzle is raspberry chocolate ice cream with a slice of cheesecake on top. Cheesecake is one of our favorite desserts and this slice was absolutely amazing! The Cookie Monster was topped with two cookies that were just okay. The cookies were cakey and chewy. Both mason jar sundaes came in Styrofoam bowls so it would not drip on the table. We were not able to finish both sundaes even being shared between multiple people! They also give you plastic bags to take the jars home in.

It's got the same vibe it's had for the last 30 years. Plenty of seating in their two dining rooms, with both booths and tables available. They have dinner plates, quick lunch foods, scrumptious desserts, and ice cream! The owner is always around joking and chatting with everyone and offers free ice cream for the kiddos, which we greatly appreciate! I love to stop in, even if only for ice cream. They have a great Hot Fudge Cake. There are video games in the one dining room so something for kids to do if you're willing to give them a dollar or two to blow while you wait. There is one comical thing about this place, though. The women's bathroom. It's clean and all, but if you know, you know. It cracks me up every time I go in there.

There are lots of ice cream flavors, milk, baked goods and produce. There are sandwiches and other items available. You can sample the ice cream before purchasing. The seasonal pumpkin was good.

Customers can also purchase any flavor in the store and have it packed into a pint container. The gift shop area has a nice selection of souvenirs and toys. The shirt selection is minimal.

Everything is made with the freshest ingredients that are homegrown and locally sourced. I had high expectations for their ice cream after reading so many stellar reviews, and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed! There was a huge line when I came in the afternoon, but the employees were fast and efficient. They have a variety of flavors to choose from: classics, fruit-infused, savory, seasonal. I wanted to try something new so I tried the Key Lime Pie flavor in a small cup ($4.99). It was sooo creamy and tasted exactly like the pie- tangy and sweet! I also loved that it had bits of graham cracker in it. They have a decent amount of outdoor seating, but it gets crowded very quickly. Don't forget to check out their products! They sell their own ice cream in pints + quarts, milk, baking ingredients, pastries, sauces, etc. I live in NJ and I found out that they sell some of their products in Wegmans and Whole Foods (select locations)... I'm grateful for that :)
