The Story
The cozy aroma of waffle cones and sweet cream warmly greets you inside this charming little parlor. Bright smiles and familiar flavors make every scoop feel like a cherished memory from simpler times. You can almost hear the soft hum of good conversation over delightful sundaes and frosty malts here in Polk City.

This place is definitely a 10! The ice cream is amazing. You can order scoops or soft ice cream and also shakes. They have a super nice tables to stay outside facing an scenic corner. We ordered scoops and I was amazed with the creaminess of the ice cream and how good they represented the flavor. Regarding the prices, they are okay.

My first time here was 4 years ago when I first moved to Iowa. I can honestly say that this place is still great! The only thing that's changed is that I've gotten smarter about what to order. Tonight was my second visit here and I learned that you can mix any of the flavors into the soft serve. I got a piña colada soft serve on a sugar cone and holy moly! It was amazing!!! So smooth, and so flavorful but not overly sweet! The rest of my family got malts and a scoop of the carrot cake ice cream. Everyone was happy!

Unfriendly staff. Walked in and was greeted by three girls staring and who seemed annoyed, when I was reading the menu for a minute or two. Mind you, I haven’t been here before and I wanted to see my options. Apologized for taking a “long time” and got an eye roll for a response. Immediately left after that. As I was leaving, I saw all of them leave the front counter to sit down and talk/eat. Don’t be annoyed that you have to serve people at the place you work at. Disappointing.

Cute little shop w/ outdoor seating! The ice cream was delicious. It lives up to the name. I got a small brownie comet w/ cherries on top. They were generous with the amount of brownies mixed in, but I was sad to see only 4 cherries on top :( but that’s cause I’m a huge cherry fanatic. It was fun to get ice cream and walk around the cute little polk city. I would come again :)
