Great ice cream with a nice variety of flavors! We tried the baklava ice cream for the first time, and it was really good. It had a unique flavor and was definitely worth trying. The only downside was the wait. It took about 20–30 minutes to get our order, even though it wasn't extremely busy. Parking can also be difficult, especially during peak hours. They have a spacious indoor seating area, which is great if you want to sit and enjoy your ice cream. However, there is very limited outdoor seating. Overall, the quality of the ice cream made the visit worthwhile. If they can improve the wait time and parking situation, this would easily be a 5-star place.

The ice cream flavors I chose for my cone were so soupy and soft, she served it in a cup and placed the cone on top because she said the ice cream wouldn’t stay on the cone. They shouldn’t serve it if it’s too soft to scoop onto a cone. Other reviews talk about their soupy melty ice cream and wonder why they wouldn’t adjust their freezer to be able to serve frozen ice cream. The white pistachio just tastes like almond extract. Super strong almond extract. Came here as it was closer than Kimball’s but it was a disappointment and we will drive the extra 10 min from now on for premium ice cream served frozen at Kimball’s.

Great little spot to get some ice cream. The staff was very friendly and did a great job of keeping the line going even though it was pretty crowded. The sweet cream was very good and they have good selection to choosefrom. Parking is available around the building and the prices were fair. There is some indoor seating as well as a window for outside sales.

Very creamy and delicious ice cream. I have a few favorite ice cream shops around us. I'm adding a new one to our list. Very friendly and helpful staff too! Pictured is the brown butter cookie sundae. I chose holy smokes ice cream. This thing is HUGE. It will make a few trips to and from my freezer before it's gone!
