Great ice cream shop! Plenty to choose from. Cash Only. ATM on sight.
Waited in a 20 person line for 30 minutes just to get to the register for them to say CASH ONLY…there are 0 signs except at the register itself advertising that. Wasted 30 minutes and went else where. $10 for a double scoop as well.
This place is so amazing! Came in for the first time and sampled the Orange Dreamsicle Fudge which was amazing! Melinda was so welcoming and very happy to help us! The Raspberry Chocolate Fudge is The Best option and I will be back soon to get more. We also got some fantastic ice cream from April, who was also very kind and helped us pick the best options. The Dreamsicle Cooler was made with fresh fruit and was perfect for a hot day. Their Train Tracks ice cream was delicious, and sitting on the patio watching the trains pass the beach was a great way to spend the afternoon. I accidentally left my phone in the store and Melinda was very careful in getting it back to me safely! Hands down the best place to spend your day.
Me and my wife just moved out here and we came across this awesome ice cream / fudge shop.
We were helped by Melinda G, the sweetest lady ever (reminds you of the grandmother you and everyone loves in your family)
We got a few slices of fudge including rocky road, snickers and raspberry chocolate, all were delicious :)
We also got some ice cream (which Melinda informed us they make some flavors inhouse!)
All around a business we will be coming back to regularly for the exceptional service and delicious treats.
Thank you for being a great part of the community!
Great place for ice cream after a walk on the boardwalk
I live over 40 minutes away, and this was one of a few places I called looking for candy buttons, specifically, The lady on the phone stated that they did in fact have them which I was so excited about spent, so I spent my time and money on gas, which we all know is not cheap right now to drive all the way down there for her to be completely sold out of them and say oh, I’m sorry I misled you… Which just means that you didn’t look before you answered the question which was careless and Quite frankly crazy seeing us it’s about 25 steps where I drove over 40 miles. I was excited that they had coconut milk, chocolate clusters, and candy cigarettes, but I was so off, put by the fact that I drove all the way down there and wasted my gas that I couldn’t even purchase it. Please be more mindful when people call in. They don’t live two seconds down the road.
Cashier was dismissive and did not seem to understand what was being said. The ice cream was good, but the prices of the candy choices are not marked. Expect them to be spendy.
Really fantastic chocolate, the French mint chocolate and the peanut butter cup were a highlight.
It’s a really cute shop! The staff I’ve interacted with have all been very friendly and personable, and their display of goodies is cute ( and yummy )! Homemade ice cream and their “jitterbugs” were delightful and the fudge I have to grab a different one every time. The smoothies have good flavor but a little too syrupy? But this is certainly the place that makes you want to try all the different things they offer!
Most confusing store I’ve ever been in!!
Walked up to the register to order ice cream → told to go to the ice cream window.
Got to the window to order → told to go back to the register to pay first.
Back at register asking for ice cream → cashier now says “Cash only.”
I point to the huge sign in front of her: “$10 minimum????”
“That’s for everything else in the store. Ice cream is cash only,” and she points to the giant ATM…🥹
Grabbed my kid and got outta there FAST. If this is what I gotta do to buy some ice cream I don’t wanna see what the ice cream actually looks like.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cute set-up and was relatively busy for dead of winter.
The cookies and cream fudge bars....so good. I had to take some home with me. I got the cherry vanilla child size. So delicious and creamy. My boyfriend got orange pineapple and blueberry. Both very delicious and he loved both equally! Service was also very good. Nice place to sit down and eat if you want too
You are going to love this cool store. Sweet and recommended. I always try something new when coming here. Sometimes a hit, sometimes not. Worth a visit.
What a delightful experience. Absolutely the cutest ice cream place with ice cream made in house and’s a ton of confections. Location is on Main Street a block from the beach
The ice cream is amazing and fantastic.
The ice cream is delicious and their fall flavors are to die for.
