This isn’t your typical walk in shop. It’s one of those classic walk up window spots where you order outside, wait your turn in a long line, and just know it’s going to be worth it. And trust me… it absolutely is. You also have the option of a drive through window as well. There’s something about standing outside, watching everyone walk away with these massive cones, that builds the anticipation in the best way. The line can get long, but it moves, and honestly? It just proves how good this place is. Once you finally get your order, you grab a seat outside and it’s the perfect laid back experience. The ice cream is insanely creamy, the soft serve is smooth and dreamy, and the cones are stacked HIGH. No skimping here. And yes they still come through with the doggy bowls 🐶 So your pup gets to be part of the experience too, which somehow makes it even better. Long lines, outdoor seating, walk up window… and some of the best ice cream you’ll have. Totally worth the wait every single time. July -2026 Went back again and still awesome

6/26/2026 FRI, We finished our dinner w/ ice cream from here. The young ladies were flawlessly incredible w/ our ice cream order. We appreciate them!! Very busy today- nice to see the crowd out. We enjoyed fudge sundae cake, and soft served cones!! Thank you, GPA Batman, GMA Ivy, Coree, & Connor

Holy moly did we get very large SMALL iceberg ice creams! I couldn’t believe how big they were. The soft serve was great and the service was so friendly! We went on a Thursday night at 730 and had to wait in the drive thru but they did a great job of moving cars through. Highly recommend! (We didn’t eat from the food menu but it looked very reasonably priced!)

I have been wanting to try this for years. After being diagnosed with Diabetes in February I finally decided as a treat to give this place a try and boy am I glad I did. The chocolate cone was fantastic. I cannot go too often but from time to time as a treat I plan on coming back. The small cone was the perfect size as a rare treat for me to have and I can hardly wait for the next trip. I can see why they have been around since 1954 as they are phenomenal.
