This is my new favorite ice cream store!!!! My friends and I went after our day trip to Indiana Dunes yesterday. The 6 of us are ice cream connoisseurs from across the US and we loved the flavors and quality, not just the unbeatable price point. One cool thing about this store was the ability to order 3 different novel flavors in a small! The dark chocolate was great (I forget the name of the flavor), and I also loved Haley’s Comet, which has chocolate and vanilla ice cream, with caramel swirl and mini chocolate caramel cups! My third flavor, with brownies and chocolate chips, was also awesome. They also do have a vegan flavor, which was oatmeal cookie yesterday.

We were looking for a local ice cream place while we were staying at a hotel in Chesterton. This was such a cute place! All the ladies working were so friendly and sweet. There were many yummy flavors to choose from and my pick, S’more To Love was absolutely delicious!! I loved the atmosphere and the adorable train that traveled above. Even the fun seats that seemed to be old bowling alley seats. We will definitely be back!

Step back into time to the historical part of town and enjoy a fantastic selection of ice cream, sorbet, or vegan ice cream. Glad we got the kids' order before going in because the selection is amazing. The staff happily accommodated the kids' request for sprinkles on top of a cone. The kids sat at the counter and enjoyed watching the little train. Us adults enjoyed the salted caramel (delicious!) and dairy free strawberry sorbet (had little pieces of fruit in it which is unusual and novel). Perhaps what was must amazing is how affordable this treat was! Left a tip and it was still much less than other tourist places.

Great service, great sizing options and great ice cream, got a cone with 2 big scoops along with a bowl with 2 small scoops for $8! Seemed like an absolute steal these days! Extremely clean inside and very friendly employees! Thank you for a great experience! We will be back!
