A wonderfully, quaint old fashioned ice cream shop in the heart of historic Main St in Galena, IL. In an era gone by, this once was an apothecary and general store. Some of those furnishings can still be seen. The ice cream scoops were massive. A single would definitely be enough. A double is like a pint of decadence. They offer a very large selection, plus sundaes. I overheard 32 flavors. I especially loved the Dailey Grind which is a coffee flavored caramel ice cream with chocolate covered espresso pieces. While my wife's favorite was the Pirates Bounty (see showcase label).

We loved this old fashion ice cream shop in the heart of Galena. The counter and the built-ins are all original and ask the owner/manager about the history and he’ll give it to you. Delicious ice cream in generous portions.

Delicious ice cream and reasonable prices! Perfect stop on a hot summer day along the Galena main strip. The staff was really friendly as well too!
