Such a nice place! I personally know the people who own it, and they hire only the kindest of people to work here! The ice cream is awesome, but a little pricey. But hey! Ice cream is cheaper than therapy!!!

Unique ice cream and sodas rich in flavor, I’m a huge fan of the waffle cones that perfectly pairs with the ice cream. Really friendly staff.

My children and myself went in today and it was amazing, service was great. Made me feel at home from the time I walked into the shop. A lot of cool pictures and items to look at and buy. We had some chocolate ice cream and some lavender ice cream and I had a lavender ice tea that was amazing. Definitely going back again.

I love this place. It is locally owned and operated and run by Christian families. Their ice cream is top notch. It’s a great place to gather with friends and family. I can’t say enough good things about it. If you are in the area and you like the atmosphere of the old ice cream parlors you have to try this place. The added bonus is that there is shopping there which includes items from local artisans.

Very friendly staff, and inviting atmosphere. They have a large variety of items sure to find something for yourself or as a gift for a special person in your life. They even have the old ice cream parlor for that stop in for a sweet treat.

The ice cream is amazing and the actual store is really cute. They will let you taste test ice cream so if you have a picky kid then this is a great place to go. The staff is always super sweet and they have a great selection of ice cream. I found out about this place around 2 years ago, but this is by far my favorite ice cream place in town! If you are looking for a fun family outing, give this place a go!

I loved the design and they have this really cool refrigerator and I suggest the sea salted carmal and this awesome tea pot you put loose tea leaves in it and when you are ready to drink it will pour out the bottom separating the leaves for a lovely cup of tea it costs 20$
