The bright checkered floor and classic tunes made stepping inside feel like a sweet trip back in time, instantly wrapping you in a cozy, welcoming embrace. Every scoop of rich, creamy ice cream was a little taste of pure happiness, crafted with care and a sprinkle of old-fashioned charm. From families sharing sundaes to friends laughing over cones, the air buzzed with simple joys and the delightful spirit of a true neighborhood gem.

    Absolutely amazing. Homemade waffle cone was amazing. Staff was so sweet. We tried all the march flavors and each was fantastic! So creamy so yummy. I don't remember the name of our favorite but it was corn with blueberry and it tasted that blueberry cheesecake! Delicious. If we are back in town we will definitely come back!

    This place is awesome! The ice cream is excellent, the cones are perfect, and service is the cherry on top! Best of all, for my family, they have gluten free cone options and dairy free ice cream. In fact, they have some vegan, gluten, and dairy free treats! You can order by the scoop or they have a freezer full of pints. They even have shirts and sweaters for sale. This is a must try in Lincoln. My kids got the gluten free cones and they loved them! You must go here. Seriously. Just do it. 😁

    My favorite ice cream ever. Here for the Butterbeer has been the best, but they always have something on their monthly flavors we like. Their standard flavors are good too. We look forward to looking at the flavors each month. The place smells of freshly made waffle cones. 03/2024 - Just an update to add a photo and say how consistently good this place is. We often bring the in laws here for a treat when they are visiting. This place is just so good.

    You should try the limited flavors. Dare I say you should try a flight. — Friendly customer service. Small batch production, be prepared to stand in line- it’s just that good! Fresh, rich and creamy. Seasonal flavors, limited edition flavors, and regularly offered flavors. If you can’t choose one or two, you can try the flight for $9! You choose 4 flavors in each flight. GF options. You can order milkshakes/malts with oatmilk. Ice creams with nuts are present, FYI. Indoor or outdoor seating. Bathroom in-store. Kids’ size scoop or milkshake offered. Also a split scoop (50% one flavor and 50% a second flavor) offered for approximately 50 cents more (I don’t recall). Can’t wait to return!
