What a pleasant surprise! I went to little calf for lunch and let me tell you this place is GOOD!! They make their own potato chips and maybe the bread it was so crispy and light. The service was excellent and staff were very friendly. I highly recommend!

We order lunch and ice cream. The kid's macaroni and cheese is better than five stars. There are food selections for adults, too, but leave room to help toddlers eat their kid's plate. This place also has the best root-beer in town.

We love Little Calf. I always get their veggie burger because it's that consistently good. You cannot go wrong with getting a scoop of ice cream for dessert here. They also came in clutch on pi day with having hand pies and ice cream mud pies!

Quaint family centered Cafe with classic ice cream flavors, including some topping options.My friend and I split a Banana Split and a West Coaster burger, which we made into a double and added portobello mushrooms too (great choice!). We did have to ask for the cheese, which seemed to be missing, but overall, the flavors and textures were well made. Note, my picture (usually much better) does not do the burger justice, we just got eager to eat it and the banana split came out first so I forgot to take the picture before we split it and started eating it ?The service staff is very young, so it seems like a great place to work as a first job. They were all friendly and helpful, even asked if I wanted to switch out any of the ice cream flavors, which I loved and thought was very thoughtful!The regular fries (they have a sweet potato option), were fresh, soft and crispy, but could use a bit more seasoning. Even as just an option to top them offer myself. I'd suggest garlic, paprika and sea salt...but even other dipping sauces could give this cafe a sweeter edge. Still very enjoyable though.Their soda machine is Subborn brand (not the ginger flavor, but the Pineapple Cream is sweet and soft, nice bubbles and was very cold, the small sample I sipped). The purple Lemonade we sampled was also good. Might be good as a mix. Maybe.I didn't notice any power outlets for work meetings or view the bathroom, so can't comment on that.The Banana Split was a nice change from my usual preference of a gelato in a cup or Waffle cone. In this case, ice cream, definitely NOT gelato, but still soft and creamy. My friend thought the flavors were less intense than we prefer and are used to, probably, because they offer toppings. They're still good, just could use more vanilla beans in that flavor and more cocao to the chocolate, fresh Strawberry chucks would up level the kick to the fresh strawberry. We enjoyed it, just would like to see a bit stronger flavors. The banana was soft, fresh and went very well together. The whipped cream is definitely light and fluffy, probably from a can. Not likely made in house, at least not thick like you can make on your own with heavy whipping cream and honey. Not bad, just something that could elevate the overall quality...especially for a $12.95 dessert! Which considering there are 3 decent sized scoops and toppings compares well to ordering a double and single.PROSCustomer ServiceDecent qualityHigher quality soda and LemonadeIce Cream Cakes and other dessert options available (chocolate chip brownies, rice krispy treats, brownies, mud pie, etc.)Fair serving sizesPros/ConsAverage prices, we paid about $32 for one double burger with fries and a banana split to share between us.CONSAtmosphere is okay, not bad, not spectacularFlavors are great, but could be leveled up a touchNot sure if there are outlets, not ideal for longer visitsBit noisy from all the children (around 7:30pm on a Thursday night in March, 3.7.24)Parking: Free parking lot with average sized spots, may fill quickly on the weekends, but it was okay even while busy on a Thursday night around 7:30PM, possibly close to Spring break? Not sure.

What a great little spot for a quick delicious salad, sandwich, soup and most definitely ice cream. So many delicious options for ice cream and sundaes. Super reasonably priced, very nice staff and food is really good. It's our new Sunday afternoon spot with ice cream to go.

Highly recommend the West Coaster burger with a side salad so you can save room for a scoop of ice cream. The salad was more than just greens- and it was appreciated that there was no up charge in place of fries. Stubborn root beer was delicious too. I’d love to go back.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free buns available

We came in on a Tuesday right before they closed. The owner, I believe his name was Scott, helped us out. He was friendly gave us suggestions told me to stay away from the mystery flavor because of my allergies. I ended up getting an affogato with coffee ice cream and it was delicious! Definitely a great place! We will be coming back.
