    Looking for a real treat today? Serendipity is the perfect place to experience that old fashioned “Let’s go out for a treat” thing that your parents and grandparents used to enjoy as much as you did! The prices aren’t bad. The ambiance is priceless and the ice cream, absolutely flawless! Our entire family got brownie sundaes. While we were pigging out I noticed other patrons licking their containers. Yep! It’s that good!

    Yes, they have non-dairy treats, and they’re excellent! They have awesome service, and of course they have pup cups. I’d highly recommend coming here after going to the bookstore.

    OMG so charming! This ice cream shop has homemade ice cream, old-style sodas, vintage kinda candies, and more—all wrapped in a warm blanket of old-fashioned style; it looks like an old-timey store. They even have a player piano that plays itself!!! They had some well known hits on the piano while we were waiting for our ice cream, like “Help” by The Beatles and “Friends in Low Places” by Garth Brooks. There’s indoor seating and seating outside on the sidewalk. Don’t miss their “Secret Menu Items.” If you choose to give a thumbs-up 👍🏽 or not, I hope you found my review helpful!
