Delicious ice cream with a CAPITAL “d.” Always happy to meet a lovely entrepreneur and it’s even better when they’re from Ohio! Everything about this establishment is charming.

Friend recommended this place and the fireweed + honey and banana cream pie or anything with berries were our favorites. Definitely on the pricey end though

Stopped on the way to Seward. Refreshing and nice variety, including local flavors. I had the Alaskan wild berry, which was quite delicious.

This is a must, and we always stop here whenever we travel south past girdwood. Usually, on the way back into town. We really like the flavors they offer, and the fireweed ice cream is one you should try at least once. I tried the banana pie in a waffle cone, and the flavors went well together!
I sadly didn't take any pictures because i was too excited to eat the ice cream... I forgot to take at least one picture.

The shop isn't that big though, so if it's crowded, there's not a lot of room. They do have to tell some people to wait outside if it gets too crowded, and i can understand why. They used to have seating on the inside, but as it is a very popular store, they had to move some of their seating outside. I don't find anything wrong with that, though, because i am just happy to have some ice cream ?

From the moment I approached the ice cream shop, with its charming and rustic wooden facade adorned by a whimsical ice cream cone sign, I could tell I was in for a delightful small-town experience. The signage, bold and nostalgic, invited me into a space that felt both familiar and inviting.Stepping inside, the atmosphere radiated a cozy hometown vibe, with a clean and bright interior that felt like stepping into a friend's welcoming kitchen. The menu, displayed above the service area, offered a delightful array of treats that went beyond the classic ice cream options, including a variety of coffee and tea beverages — a testament to their versatility and understanding of customers' diverse palates.The ice cream itself was a revelation. Each scoop I tasted seemed to burst with the rich, pure flavors of ingredients that could only have been freshly prepared. The texture was perfect — creamy, smooth, and melting just right, a clear indication of their commitment to serving high-quality, artisanal products.What truly set this shop apart was the service. The staff were not only prompt, ensuring that my order was prepared quickly, but they also exuded a warmth and friendliness that made the experience even more enjoyable. They were knowledgeable, eager to offer recommendations, and patient as I made my selections, reflecting the kind of exceptional customer service that makes a place memorable.In every aspect, this ice cream shop captured the essence of a beloved local gem. It's the sort of place you stumble upon and can't help but return to, time and time again, for that unparalleled combination of delectable treats and heartwarming service.
