“THE BEST frozen dessert place. We were visiting the area and called into the Frozen Flip Flop on a Monday, they were closed. But the owner was dropping something off and invited us in and served us anyway. What a lovely person, gorgeous froyo and a great array of toppings. Go here, you won't regret it.“

“Amazing custard, great customer service. Highly recommended! We will definitely be back!“

“Me, my wife, my daughter, and my grandma went to this ? ice cream ? shop and absolutely loved it! There were so many different flavors of candy, chocolate, fudge, and ice cream. The fudge chocolate ice cream was the best! Fudge was amazing too! There was also such a ?? nice ? view from the small bridge ? right next to the shop and nice little chairs and tables you could enjoy your ? ice cream ? on. The sun ☀️? was nice and warm and we loved that. But, if you're ? not a fan of the sun, there are shaded tables and chairs as well. We ?% recommend and will be going back later tonight!Parking: There is handicap parking ?️ and there is normal parking. I would say that based on how good the ice cream is and how many people SHOULD be going there, that they should probably get more parking spots. But the parking lot wasn't over flowing and I would say that it had a good amount of space overall.Kid-friendliness: The place was very "kid-friendly" based off of the food, atmosphere, and staff. There were small stuffed and candies that kids could buy/have. Nice place overall. ???????“

“Such a great location for an ice cream shop! They have a tiny inside store and a few tables outside. The line looks intimidating but it moves quick! The flavors were kind of hit or miss. I wish they had descriptions for the original flavors so I didn't have to hold up the line while asking. My favorite was the cookie butter flavor. Unfortunately it wasn't available the second time I went so I ordered the cookies and cream and cookie dough instead. They were extremely disappointing because there was no cookie dough and only one bite of cookie. The vanilla ice cream tastes great but I am just not a fan of plain vanilla and it wasn't what I was looking for. Overall still great ice cream but you have to find a flavor that works for you! PS. They have premade pup cups which is an awesome perk!“
