The Story
This charming spot offers an amazing array of ice cream, praised as the best in the city, with generous sampling options. Beyond the ice cream, they also serve incredible craft sodas, shakes, and sundaes, though some recommend skipping the floats. The decor provides a welcoming, old-timey feel, reminiscent of a classic film set.

Don't get the floats. The soda wasn't cold and there's a chance that it will just explode all over you. The burning love malt however was delicious and I 100% percent recommend. I also recommend the Nehi Peach Soda. But you have to drink it cold. The bathroom hallway was super sketchy but the bathroom itself was clean.

Our favorite ice cream shop! This always gives me "It's a Wonderful Life" vibes! This year we had help from some of the workers to find a pair of airpods. They are helpful and kept their eyes open to find them.

This place is amazing! The owner, Jill, graciously helped my husband and I as we tirelessly tested out different ice cream flavors. She was so patient, kind, funny, and informative! On top of her great service, the ice cream, toppings, and sauce choices were to die for. If you are coming through Salida you need to try this place out!

Best ice cream in the city. Jill gave my wife and I probably 10 samples as she kept recommending more and more flavors and each one was better than the next. The decor inside gives an ole timey feel that really makes you welcome. They also have incredible craft sodas, shakes, and sundaes. 10/10!
