Love the varieties of flavors they have and loved the fact that they offer icecream pup cups with treats for the doggos. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Will visit again and again.

Visited this fantastic ice cream shop on a Friday evening for the first time ever! Both employees were super friendly and gave us a couple samples. It was so hard to pick what to get due to them having so many delicious sounding options, including a few seasonal choices! They offer sundaes, ice cream cake, pints, quarts, and have a decent selection of vegan options. The sizes pictured were one of their smallest and even still it was a great size. The store is super clean and tidy too.My only minor complaint is that they only have one milkshake size and it seems to be pretty large. I wanted a milkshake but didn't want a huge one. The price was relatively high too which was a bummer because shakes are usually my go-to. Overall, this didn't take away from the experience and we absolutely loved the ice cream shop!

The manager was so rude. Ive also heard from multiple people that they treat their employees horribly. They don't respect their availabilities as highschoolers. The manager "Jill" uses racial slurs such as the n-word. There's a lot more I could say but long story short, I would never support this business.

Amazing place to find a unique confection that suits your mood.To say that they have every flavor is a bit of an understatement.?

Ice cream was great, we spent $27.00 for ice cream (3 of us). They wouldn’t give my wife a glass of water to take her pills. She said she won’t go back. ?

We had the Ice Cream Truck come out for a work event a few months ago and I was really impressed. It was super easy to book and the selection that was brought was amazing. We will definitely be doing this again next summer.

Simple ice cream shop with a variety of flavors, there wasn't much decor inside but they have plenty of seats.It was awkward that I asked to sample 2 flavors before deciding on a scoop and the "manager"/ older lady was hovering over the worker when she was giving me a sample, and was just eyeing everything the worker was doing and literally stuck next to her side every minute.Also, I got the wrong ice cream I asked for their flavor of the month - chocolate Oreo coffee but instead the worker scooped up cookies n cream, I kept it instead of having them waste the wrong ice cream. We also got a scoop of Kit Kat ice cream and it was good but nothing to rave about.A single scoop sugar cone & a single scoop bowl was about $10.50 after taxes.

So many different and unique flavors. The Key Lime Pie ice cream is a definite must try! Also love the German Chocolate, Peanut Butter Cup and Mint Chip flavors a lot as well.
