We got the double American sundae, with plenty to share for 2+ people. We got brownie on bottom, chunky monkey and pistachio. Chunky monkey was our favorite flavor. Could be better if more toppings were throughout the ice cream scoop. Prices are higher these days, but I think u get good value /portion for price. Friendly staff, big easy parking lot, great place to pull over on break from driving for a sweet treat. Lots of fun and unique flavors to choose from, u can try samples.

Went with family for ice cream. Was wonderful as usual. They have some of the craziest flavors. I got blueberry and goat cheese and it was so good. The blueberries gave such a great flavor to the ice cream. Staff was nice and efficient.

The ice-cream is all homemade. They have won Virginia Living's Best Of Virginia award multiple times. Truly a quaint ice cream store, located in what was formerly a general store/post office/gas station. I felt like I had walked into Ike Godsey's general store on the Waltons. I had the raspberry chocolate chip.

A wonderful place to go for dessert. Ice cream and so much more! Other desserts include brownies and pound cake. The staff is friendly and inviting. The brownies smelled so good and I wanted a fresh one but they were too hot to cut. While we were eating our ice cream, the "baker" of that wonderfully smelling temptation came out and brought me one all wrapped and ready to go. I purchased it and was not disappointed! Great place for kids with indoor and outdoor seating. Well worth the trip.
