This is a fabulous ice cream shop in an esp quaint area!! We love all the flavors. I esp love any ice cream with chips in it... raspberry chip, or the coffee chip..Quite generous portions!! The size small is quite big actually, and men find it to be plenty. All really nice workers.

Made a quick stop at this parlor to get some ice cream. Plenty of parking spots in front of the store. A lot of people were hanging out outside the store while having their ice cream. Inside the store, it was mainly the counter to order ice creams. They had 24 different flavors in the menu, with options for cups, waffles and cones. There were plenty of toppings available as well. We got the cotton candy flavor with chocolate sprinkles on top. There were multiple associates behind the counter. So we got order right away. The price was decent for the small cup, only $6. It was a lot of ice cream in the cup. We liked the taste of the ice cream. Sprinkles were good too. I just wish the store was little bit more interesting inside with better decor and some sitting space.

Cute local ice cream shop at Ridgewood NJ. The pained the building pink which is very appealing to kids. Parking lot in the front, convenient for quick stop by. The staff members are friendly and helpful. Fast service. We got a cotton candy ice cream with chocolate sprinkles ($6). It’s a big scoop. Flavor is good. Too sweet for me. No tables or seats inside. But I see many people just chatting and hanging out in the front and enjoying the ice cream.

We went to get ice cream after a playdate. Our friends live in the neighboring town and brought us to this place. They had a good selection of ice cream flavors but I ended up getting the vanilla to split with my toddler. It was so creamy and delicious. Not too sweet which was perfect for my liking. The serving was also generous. We will definitely come back to try different flavors. I wish they had outdoor sitting though.
