Van Dyk's is one of those classic summer traditions for my family. We usually make a few trips here…read moreevery summer, and it's easy to see why people keep coming back. Their homemade ice cream is delicious, and they offer a huge variety of flavors. We stopped by on a Friday afternoon and lucked out--it wasn't crowded yet. If you've ever been here during peak summer hours, you know that's a rarity. This place is a local favorite, and long lines are pretty common later in the day. I was really hoping to get my favorite, Bailey's Cream, but they were sold out. That's one thing to keep in mind: while they have a ton of flavors, they aren't always all available. I ended up ordering the Black Raspberry Chip with free rainbow sprinkles (my go-to), and it definitely hit the spot. Someone in our group got a milkshake and absolutely loved it, while another ordered the Cappuccino Oreo and enjoyed it as well. Portion sizes: A single scoop (their small) is surprisingly large. With prices having increased over the years, I'd love to see a smaller, more affordable option for those times when I just want a little ice cream. I also wish they'd let you choose two flavors in a small cup instead of requiring a double scoop (medium) if you want to mix flavors. A few things to know before you go: Van Dyk's is cash only, although they do have an ATM inside if you need it. The shop itself is very small, with no indoor seating or restrooms. There are only a few places to sit outside, so most people end up standing around or grabbing a spot on the small wall. Parking can also be a bit of a headache. The lot gets hectic, especially when they're busy, and better signage would definitely help. We've found it's often easier to park on a nearby side street and walk over. Even when the line is long, the staff does a great job keeping things moving. One employee usually takes care of an entire group from start to finish, which helps keep the ordering process efficient. Everyone we've interacted with has always been friendly and helpful. Even with the cash-only policy, limited seating, and hectic parking, Van Dyk's is still one of our family's favorite summer traditions. The homemade ice cream keeps us coming back year after year, and hopefully next time they'll have my favorite ice cream, Bailey's Cream, in stock.

The line was fairly long when I visited, but it moved quickly thanks to the efficient staff. This time I tried the Georgia Peach ice cream. It was good and definitely hit the spot, though I have to admit I left thinking that Tillamook's Sweet Cream Peach back home is still my favorite peach ice cream. Even so, Kilwins delivers exactly what you'd hope for: quality ice cream, a great atmosphere, and plenty of tempting treats beyond just the frozen desserts. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back to try more flavors.

I liked the creativity of the dishes on the menu and I liked the milkshake I got (peanut butter, yogurt and banana). Decor was cute, simple and on theme (bees). There wasn't much room for sitting so it is best to take things to go. One thing to note - if you get a milkshake and ask for sprinkles, know that the sprinkles will be generously mixed into your drink and not just dusted on top. My daughter got that and ended up drinking my milkshake because she was overwhelmed by the amount of sprinkles she got. Overall, cute stop - recommended to try.

When we first walked in we kind of were turned off by the way the ice cream looked- kind of plain with nothing in it- but we then realized you had to pick some toppings to mix in. So we picked a cookie dough, fudge, Oreo combo. That first bite, wow. I was expecting a Baskin Robinesque, chain tasting, unoriginal ice cream; I was thankfully very wrong. It was the perfect amount of creamy and hard, tasted very homemade and spectacular, and had large, delicious chunks of cookie dough! I really recommend coming here for a good scoop with delicious toppings on any day!

It possibly also could be the type of non dairy choice too. I also tried the vegan lemon olive oil cake slice and will definitely come back again for it; such a treat! (I wish it was less than $10 a slice!) I recommend for a quick stop and for coffee dates!
