Lovely place and really friendly staff!
I grew up coming to this ice cream parlor so I have fond memories of it. The current owner has made some nice changes inside and it looks great. The ice cream is as delicious as it has been for all these years. What else can I say? Try it for yourself and see. We drive in from Walnut Creek to come get ice cream here.

I started chatting with a cheerful couple and shared what had happened. They were incredibly kind and empathetic. After I ordered, the gentleman surprised me by saying, “This is on the house.” That’s when I realized the couple were actually the owners. 😇
