Great food and prices. They were experiencing short staffing due to an unexpected death, but overall good service. I love the store connected to the restaurant, but I understand it will be closing.

Great little place for custard and real Italian ice. The lady there is super nice and polite. She can recommend some good combinations. Everything she recommended was excellent. Bonus is she sells Simply Southern shirts which is my wife’s favorite brand. Would always go back there when exploring Main Street. Side note the Italian place what is connected has awesome calzones.

For the sake of the lady owner I hate writing this review but I have to edit my original 5 star review. Dont get me wrong, it's still a great treat at a great price and the lady owner there has great customer service. Truly a Happy Place! BUT, go during the evening hours. When you show up during the day when it says they're open, often times they aren't. This has happened numerous times now and it's frustrating. And when it does happen you're stuck dealing with the rude grumpy part owner at the adjoining pizzaria. Not sure why he feels the need to be so rude. Maybe it's unintentional but if it were the first occurrence I wouldn't bother with this review. Anytime we have friends and family visiting we invite them here for treats. To be treated rudly multiple times now by the male owner is a smack in the face. Our family overheard him on one occasion and they couldnt believe we still eat there. Please pick times you can commit to so we arent wasting our time or having to deal with the other owner.

Adela is a wonderful woman and she served us with a smile! The custard was delicious (both the chocolate and vanilla flavors!) And even better than that were the fresh brownie bites she uses for toppings!!! I've found my new local place when I'm having a sweet tooth. Can't wait to come back and try the Italian ice.

I want to give 100 stars. The coffee is top notch- my personal favorite is a breve with coconut oil. I also love mixing the custard with the Italian ice. The shop has adorable treasures, and the owner will treat you like a long lost relative. Don't miss this gem. Go now ?

Frozen Italian custard is out of this world! Great Italian ice as well. Love the feeling of this place, and when you walk through the door, you are greeted with a "welcome to my happy place!" There is also a little shop with little goodies you can browse through. Great atmosphere, superior service, and delicious frozen treats!!

We specifically went here for some ice cream and boy were we blown away. There was Italian ice, frozen custard, toppings, popping bubbles, cones, coffee, chai, and so much more. The owner was super friendly and went out of her way to help create mixes that we each wanted. You can absolutely tell that the owner works hard to make sure you enjoy your treat. Everything tasted amazing. She also lets you taste flavors if you need to. There is literally something for everyone.Seating is a bit limited but most of the items are treats to go. There is an onsite restroom as well, shop, and connected restaurant.I highly recommend visiting this shop. Come with a big appetite. Servings are large, filling, and delicious. I will most certainly be back to try something else.Picture: hurricane made with swirled frozen custard (chocolate/vanilla), M&M's, chocolate chip cookie dough, strawberry popping bubbles, and whipped cream.

This little place was awesome. The lady serving us was super pleasant. She made my daughter a happy root beer float and she loved it. Toppings in the custard did not disappoint. We will be back

A very happy place indeed, fun lil trinkets, and great coffee and lots of Italian ice and custard flavors. The food at my pizza place next door is also super delish

This place is truly a happy place. I mean who doesn't want amazingly delicious Italian ice and custard? So many flavors of Italian ice, that I couldn't even make up my mind what I wanted. Don't get me started on how sweet and kind the owner is. She is the reason this place is a happy place! The shop has simply southern shirts, fridge magnets, those insulated can holders that keep your drinks cold and other happy items. I love little shops like this. They also own My Pizza Place. So while you wait for your food, you can shop. Then after you eat their delicious pizza, get some dessert. Support a local business and go visit them! I promise you'll leave happy like we did!
