Walked in as a new customer, will now become a regular!! The staff gave excellent service. Sampled any flavor I wanted which was a treat, Shirley Temple caught my eye. Absolutely wonderful, definitely recommend.

Overall, great experience. Here’s why: I’m not a huge “water ice” connoisseur, didn’t grow-up on the east coast eating it so I don’t love it out of tradition or nostalgia, I like it, but don’t always love it. I mean, it’s right there in the name, it’s literally watery ice with some flavoring, so maybe it would peak for me in the crazy heat of summer when the cold is refreshing.

The staff was super nice and paitence as I asked for some samples of there Italian ice. I got the Italian ice with the frozen custard. I have to honestly say that the ice is good, but the frozen custard transcends the ice and your taste buds understanding. It is so good, probably the best custard that I have had. Definitely stop in and get a cone on a hot summer day and you won't be disappointed.
