Thanks for the refund - my icecream had a rubber band at the bottom of my cone. The icecream is very good. Won’t stop me from coming back but I felt the service could have been better. Nothing like “oh I’m so sorry about that!” It was just we can give you a refund or another cone.

In a world where 80% of our experiences lie in the middle of the bell-shaped curve, this ice cream store is no exception. Average at best. Plus, the owner doesn't provide a paper receipt. "Seriously?" (you might ask) - yes, no paper receipts. Overpriced and underwhelming, the idea of getting good ice cream turned out to be better than what my wife and I wasted $10 on. I guess it was just OK. Almost below par. Excellent: Uniquely satisfying. A special place. Very Good: Better than expected. Average: An everyday experience. Just OK. Fair: Below par. Dirty smells. & / or flies.

Perfect stop on a hot day—especially after eating at Crabby Dick’s (Dolly Spanker’s) next door. Plenty of flavors and options to choose from, and it’s exactly what you want from a solid ice cream place. Simple, reliable, and hits the spot.

We got peach and cream and a peanut butter and chocolate shakes here. After exploring Pea Patch Island, this parlor is a good spot to cool you down
