    Delicious ice cream with mostly classic flavors, but there is enough variety to make it feel fresh. I got the Chocolate Peanut Butter Honeycomb which was packed full of flavor, and had nice crispy pieces. I also sampled the Cookie Dough Brownie but found it lacked flavor in comparison. Highly recommend this location. Service was good and the facility was clean at 10pm.

    Its fine if you want ice cream. Overpriced, but pretty normal for the city. You can't get different flavors if you get more than one scoop, and the scoops are small. The worker asked what I wanted, put it in the register, and assumed I wanted a cup, so make sure all details quickly before the worker leaves.
