Yummy good. Found my favorite ice cream. Love flavor burst hard to find

This place has a huge selection of ice cream and shaved ice flavors. Honestly its a bit overwhelming how many choices they have so if you have little ones they could run into a bit of choice paralysis because of the seemingly 100s of options available. Ive had about 6 different flavors of shaved ice and they were all great and the portions were huge.No dine in eating just yet but they do have picnic tables outside.

I was with a group of friends who wanted to drive over an hour from just below Baltimore in order to get this ice cream. I must say the caramel sundae with whip cream hit the spot. I think Ill be taking another road trip soon. Loved the music playing on speakers too!!

The maple walnut ice cream is so good! The people here are also really friendly and dont mind letting you sample several ice creams / ice flavors. Theyre always playing good music too.

When I say this was so nasty I mean took my son there for ice cream and the bugs where everywhere I mean couldn’t eat the ice cream without bugs flying in hair or in the ice cream it was disgusting. Walked all over the parking lot to try to find a spot without gnats or fly’s or bees. And it smelled like garbage from the dumpster worst experience ever. Went home and had to shower cause still was finding bugs on me and my son. Will never return and will tell everyone to stay away.

I have never had anything from this place and I never will after the service me and my sister have received. We work for grub hub and keep in mind making his business money also. This older man(come to find out is the owner) has absolute horrible customer service skills. He is definitely in the wrong line of business and is a complete **** for how he talks to you. I do not recommend this place, like the other post has said, a hello and a smile go a long way.....

The google listing said they close at 10pm I arrived at 9:20 and stud at the window for 15 minutes in the rain. The worker looked at me 5 times and completely ignored me. Finally after standing in the rain for 15 minutes they came out and told me they were closed. Very rude smh

I have been a huge fan of these guys for years. Today, the owner was short with us and rude. For no reason whatsoever I may add.. We kept more than our 6ft distance to be sure to not crowd the counter. When someone orders a strawberry cheesecake flurry, the EXPECT to get cheesecake bites in the flurry, like it has always been. There was NONE. Not just nilla wafers. Not once were we told they were out of any ingredients or strawberrys (again, NONE). It wasnt tasted until after we had departed- and there was no point in going back. Utterly disappointed 😞. Will not be returning.

1st time there. Older man that waited on us was a little short with us. Flavors of hand dipped on the sign outside that they dont have. He acted annoyed as if we should know...The place is adorable. Soft ice cream is great! Hand dipped was really small. Turkey Hill I think.Place closed up during Covid

Best ice cream place in town! They have everything so if one person wants soft serve and one person wants regular ice cream, everyone gets what they want. Cool nostalgic decor, awesome oldies playing and an outside play area for kids, perfect for families.
