I have lived here for years and this is my first visit. I had no idea what I was missing!!! I had the oreo latte sundae in a waffle cone bowl....it was amazing!! The hot fudge took me back to childhood and one of the oldtime ice cream parlors. Great service and conversation! Amazing sundaes! And you can not beat the price. If you haven't been, it is a must try!!

This is a family owned business that’s been around for years and years! The lady is the sweetest and she honestly takes pride in every sundae, swirl cone or sherbet that goes out that window! My kids grew up coming there as a weekend treat. I still frequent it every chance I can during season. I wish they’d stay open all year round. I’d be the crazy one in snow-boots, a sock hat and a puff coat standing outside that window still ordering a “Reese’s Pieces Sundae” no matter how many inches of snow was on the ground.! lol God Bless em’ they sure do make the best ice cream around!

Best soft-serve ice cream with tons of variety. I got Black Forest Sundae tonight but Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Sundae is my favourite. There are no wrong choices! Looking forward to stopping by again soon.

The only place I know of with Blue goo soft serve which is the best!!!!! The kids liked the rainbow swirl soft serve option. Cash only is inconvenient, but what can you do.

Great place for ice cream!!! Located on route 40 about 2 minutes from walmart. This place is a locally own and run family ice cream shop. It is cash only but they do have an ATM next to the shop. Great prices !!! For 3 icecream cones it was less than $10. The soft serve was great and thick perfect for younger kids who worry about it melting fast. I added a picture of the icecream half way gone to show how thick it was. My toddler barely had a mess from the icecream. This place is open year round but opening times differ on the off season. Check them out they have lots of options from sundaes to shakes and cones both soft serve and frozen. Also they have sherbet for lactose intolerant peeps!

Love this place! They have such good ice cream - both soft serve (in a ton of flavors!) - and traditional hard ice cream, sundaes, beautiful waffle cones, etc. all at a very reasonable price, with really generous portion sizes. Just tried the strawberry cheesecake today and it was unbelievably tasty! I will come back again and again.
