The Story

The scent of sugar cones and sweet cream hung like a happy memory, welcoming you into the vibrant, retro parlor. Inside, checkerboard floors and bright neon signs set the stage for heaping scoops of handmade ice cream, each one a little taste of pure joy. It felt like stepping back to a simpler time, a perfect stop for a treat and a smile in the heart of Genoa.

    Some of the warmest soda coolers I've ever found. Every time I get a pop here it's warm in 10 minutes. Other than that the ice cream is just kinda okay. Please fix the soda coolers and stop being cheapskates!

    Such a great hidden gem! We love all their flavors and especially appreciate their non-dairy options!

    Great corner gas station/convenience store with an ice cream franchise to boot. Quality Marathon fuel products at reasonable prices. Well stocked convenience store with ice cold drinks and many food options. Easy in and out to Il Rt 72.
