    This establishment had changed owners since my childhood memories, but I am pleased to say that it’s still homemade! You do need cash, no cards are accepted. Well worth the trip to this local establishment for genuine homemade ice cream and waffle cones. They have seasonal flavors as well, the fall maple is fabulous! My all time fave is the Oreo. They also have pints and quarts if taking it home and devouring later is your thing, or if you need a great choice for a party or gathering.

    Delicious ice cream and super cute shop! Wide variety of flavors and waffle cones made fresh in shop. Plenty of indoor seating and a water fountain. Important note: Cash only payments.

    One thing of note - it's cash / check only, no card. And the one thing that wasn't perfect first so I can sing praises afterwards - the back area near the bathrooms were a bit clustered, with what appeared to be a broken cart in the hallway. But other than that, this small little shop is amazing!! The ice cream was fantastic. The prices are great, the staff was very kind, and the shop itself was well kept and clean and organized! They also sell candy in the back, lots of varieties, even for those who don't like ice cream or have allergies - as well as serving four flavors of sherbet. An amazin

    Oh wow! We stopped by for a quick cup of ice cream and were blown away! We sampled a variety of the special flavors and loved the Cinnamon Graham and the Lemon Oreo. Each bite was luscious, rich, and creamy! I'm not an ice cream fanatic but I would absolutely drive two hours back here for this ice cream. I think it's taken the spot of BEST Ice Cream in Virginia for me! The staff was very kind, offered plenty of samples, was so kind to my children, and answered any questions we had! Great place!!
