“Edgewood Creamery has become one of those places where consistency keeps bringing us back. You know what you are getting, and that matters. The ice cream is always creamy, smooth, and on point.

One thing I appreciate is the sheer number of flavors available. There is enough variety that you can stay with your favorites or branch out and try something new every visit.

For our family of four today, we ordered three large shakes and one two-scoop bowl.

For the shakes, I like that you can mix flavors and create your own combinations. We mixed two different ice cream flavors into two of the shakes.

I went with the Twixie and Insta Graham combination. Twix candy bar and vanilla mixed with graham cracker ice cream and graham crackers. Good mix of chocolate, crunch, and graham flavor without one overpowering the other.

My wife went with Red Velvet and Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Rich combination if you like chocolate-heavy flavors.

One of my daughters stayed loyal to her usual Red Velvet shake. Sometimes when you find your favorite, you just leave it alone.

My other daughter got two scoops in a cup with Carrot Cake and a caramel flavor. Nice contrast between spice cake flavor and sweetness.

Customer service was good as always. Friendly interactions and no issues during the visit.

The atmosphere also deserves mention. It has that old-school neighborhood ice cream shop feel. No frills, no trying too hard, just good flavors and a place that lets the ice cream do the talking.

Overall thoughts:

Edgewood Creamery continues to be our go-to ice cream spot because they deliver consistency and variety. Not every place can keep quality steady while offering this many choices. If you are taking the family out and everyone wants something different, this place checks that box.“

“I visited Neighbor’s today with three kids that I babysit after a trip to the park across the street. We had visited a few times before, so I recognized the man working behind the counter. He greeted us kindly and got the kids their ice creams. When it came time to pay, I went to tap and my card declined. This is where Neighbors stands out. The young man behind the counter said it was okay, and to just repay them when I returned. I definitely should have planned better and brought cash, but the kindness that he demonstrated is what makes Neighbors stay true to their name. (I did return and pay not even 20 minutes later with some cash I had in my car)“

“I cannot say enough good things about Aaron at Crumbl Cookie. Tonight was my nephew’s 10th birthday, and he is absolutely obsessed with Crumbl. Unfortunately, because of work, I wasn’t able to get there until about 10 minutes after closing.

I called the store just hoping for a miracle, and Aaron answered. Instead of turning me away, he asked what I wanted, took my order over the phone, and told me to come see him when I arrived. When I got there, he greeted me with the warmest smile, handed me my box of cookies, and took care of everything.

He truly didn’t have to do that — but he went out of his way, went the extra mile, and showed genuine kindness just because he knew it would make my night. And it did. More importantly, it’s going to make my 10-year-old nephew’s night too.

Acts of kindness like this mean the world to people, and I will forever appreciate Aaron for it. Please go see Aaron at Crumbl — he is an awesome guy and a perfect example of what incredible customer service looks like.

Thank you so much, Aaron. You are truly amazing!“

“I just have to take a moment to brag on K&J’s Elegant Pastries because they made my baby girl’s 4th birthday so incredibly special. When I say this cake brought tears to my eyes, I mean it. The soft pink Paw Patrol theme, sweet little Skye on top, the custom “4,” the beautiful bow, the tiny details — it was everything my daughter dreamed of and more. Seeing her face light up when she saw it is a moment I’ll never forget. 🩷 It wasn’t just a cake… it was the centerpiece of her day. It made her feel celebrated, loved, and so big turning FOUR. 🥹 Not only was it stunning, but it tasted just as amazing as it looked. The cake was moist, flavorful, and a huge hit with both kids and adults. We received so many compliments and everyone kept asking where we ordered it from. Thank you, K&J’s Elegant Pastries, for putting so much care and talent into making her day unforgettable. You didn’t just make a cake — you helped create a core memory for our family. Forever grateful 💕✨ #PawPatrolParty #4thBirthday #GratefulMama #SupportSmallBusiness“

“I absolutely love this place. I remember a couple years ago my siblings forgot what flavor snow cone I wanted so they got me frog in a blender now I get it every time who knew forgetfulness could be delicious. It's not just the snow cones it's also the food. Their pretzels, funnel cakes, and nachos are the only food I've had from there but I loved all of them. I always ask my mom if we can get sno daze after school. The only problem is it takes kinda long sometimes but personally I say it's worth the wait. Yummyyyyy“

“Me and my daughter stopped at Pizitz Food Hall as last minute decision. I had the 2 pc catfish, hush puppies and a side of red beans and rice (RBR) with a bottle of water came to $24.20, not including tip. I asked for my catfish to be fried hard. Being Louisiana raised, this was the BEST seasoned, fried to perfection catfish. I refused to give my daughter a corner. 🤗 The hush puppies have kernels of corn which was an added bonus. I will admit I was underwhelmed with the RBR as they were quite bland and little hard than I like. But the other items made up and caused me to be satisfied enough to return.

The young men running it that day were all pleasant and personable.“
