Cashier was okay and service was okay. They didn’t tell us how it works so we kind of stood around aimlessly for a bit, but it’s fine. The school portions are huge and they had a fun variety.

Very good but the base ice cream is a little bit sickeningly sweet. We had the grilled sticky, death by chocolate and alumni swirl. Alumni swirl was my favorite. It was still very sweet but the blueberries toned it down a nice amount. The service is good, they are a well oiled machine and are great at keeping it moving.

Wonderful place to enjoy ice cream with the family. I can't wait to try some of the cheese we purchased also. They keep the line moving quickly and the portions on a cone are way more than expected. The peanut butter marshmallow ice cream was not as sweet or rich as you'd think. The entire family thoroughly enjoyed the stop.

Great ice cream as always. They have a good process for moving a lot of people through the line. There were a lot of people in line but it moved quickly. They only have one size to order from, so if you're not very hungry, I recommend sharing. You also can't get a little of more than one flavor. You have to get a BIG dish of only one flavor. We got the Peachy Paterno and the Grilled Stickies. Both were great! We got grilled stickies to go and they heated up perfectly. Parking at the nearby lot is only one dollar, but it fills up quickly. Note that the rows do not lead to one another, so if you get to the end of the row you have to back up to get back out.
