⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Nivesh Sengar
Best ice cream spot in the area! I love that their ice creams are not overly sweet like many other places. The balance of flavors really stands out. I tried a few options—Sweet & Salty Caramel Pretzel, Roasted Coconut, and Pecan Butter—and each one was absolutely top-notch.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Betrice Thompson
First time here and wow a wonderful experience. When you pull up and see a long line you know you are in the right place!! The line moved quickly and it was worth the wait. I got the waffle cone with soft serve and my son the Italian ice, cherry. For the price I feel we received our money's worth. The service was great, our items were delicious and when I am in the area, I will be back. You have a new customer. 😃
