“Get a taste of Italy at this cute cafe on McGregor. The second you walk through the door you are greeted in a friendly Italian way. The owners are very friendly and sweet just like the gelato and Italian desserts they offer. While we only had cappuccino and sweets they do have savory options such as panini, lasagna and quiche. The gelato flavors are plentiful and unique...if you're not sure what to have, you can sample the flavors to ensure you end up with the winner. Love the chalk wall as well...great personal touch to the interior of the cafe.“

“Wow! So glad we found this place. Ice cream was amazing. They even had dairy free options for the vegan crowd! What was better than the ice cream was the service from what I would guess are high school and maybe some college kids. So patient with my three kids and they were handling a steady stream of customers like pros. Will definitely be back when I get a chance.“

“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.“
“The ice cream is all made in house and tastes great. Plus, there are many other sweet treats. But, if you go, make sure you ask about the Philadelphia Eagles. Trust me. Great stories there and in a Philly accent. Is it an accident that Zirilli rhymes with Philly? Give it a try. You won't be sorry.“
“This place has always been a treat. All of the workers are patient, kind, and most of all know their product well. I have to personally mention Ellie, Sarah, and Claudia. They have a staggering amount of options when it comes to ice-cream flavors, all of which are from Love Boat. Best of all they have plenty of other treats like Açaí, classic candies, boozy milkshakes, and so much more. Definitely a fun place to go with friends on a Friday night.“

“So, I ran in just two minutes before closing time as the door was unlocked. As I expected, things were shut down and the staff was ready to go home. But, they were kind and gracious and scooped my single scoop of cappuccino chip. The ice cream was great and the kindness of the staff made for a good experience.“
“Ice cream was very delicious. It's so sad to see establishments reduced down to food trucks after the hurricane but Im glad to see they're pushing forward trying to rebuild. Definitely recommend supporting these guys. Seemed really cool and had a great selection of flavors. Support local!“

“Called and spoke to Darren. He was very nice! I let him know that the smores treat I had reminded me of a childhood dessert I had growing up. So glad I came across this business. I wish I would have found it sooner. We will be back again! Thanks“
“Good experience. Friendly staff...inventive and interesting drive through (hope it doesn't rain!)..smoothies were pretty good. Maybe I'm old school, but not sure why a smoothie has to be $10 for a normal sized drink. I think there is a price/value/revenue equation somewhere here but not sure I can spring that often for $10 smoothies. I do wish you well though! Thank you.“
“Rolled into this strip of establishments with a longing for seafood market. The place was closed so we decided to give this a try and damn was it good. Love boat ain't got nothing that this place doesn't. 36 whole ass flavors that undercut the price of the competition. Great way to top off a night at the seafood market. Only complaint is the flies that were buzzing around as me and my family walked in the door. Definitely a hidden gem, will be returning to this place in the near future.“
“The Trading Post BLT is not a BLT but more of a turkey sandwich with some toppings, including bacon. I received a pile of turkey and much less bacon than the classic BLT which I wasn't really looking for. I think in this case we just call a BLT a BLT and a turkey sandwich a turkey sandwich.“
“It is a rare occurrence when a dining experience transcends the process of “consuming food”. The French Press special buffet on 12/24/2023 was one of these times. On this day a group of six of us were treated to superbly prepared and served food that made a sweet memory of Christmas 2023 for us all. The lobster Benedict was amazing with perfectly prepared poached eggs and generous mounts of lobster. The chorizo mini-egg burritos were perfectly spiced. Traditional offerings of bacon, scrambled eggs, lightly seasoned sausage gravy, along with orange zest infused waffles provided choices to satisfy any taste. There were bagels and lochs, fresh fruit, sliced meats/cheeses and fresh tossed salad with a variety of fruits and nuts added. On the “sweet” side of the buffet we relished a finely baked choice of bite-size chocolate croissants, cinnamon swirl cakes and raspberry-filled beignets, all made on-site by the resident pastry chef. To top this all off the French Press presented us with a choice of world-renowned Norman Love chocolates and orange-cranberry mimosas. The service was warm and helpful which is why we will be back soon to make another dining “memory” at the French Press!“
“Their Ice Cream is so good! Homemade too!! I love that it’s not too sweet. The owner is very friendly and has great customer service. They also have homemade fudge. Their dulce de leche and strawberry shortcake is so good. Thank you!! I’ll definitely be coming back.“
“Very fast service, delicious! I will say that I've visited several other locations, and this one assembled my gelati a little to quickly so it was sloppy. The Italian ice in my sugar cookie was a bit too frozen and not quite the consistency I'm used to. Overall it was still delicious, I just feel like they could have taken a little more time to make the gelati a little nicer.“
“Ok so this is a Dairy Queen, but it's a very nice Dairy Queen. The first thing I noticed is that it is very clean from the floors, to the counters, to the tables, to the drink machine and beyond. The staff was very polite and accommodating. The atmosphere was like most fast food restaurants except this one is exceptionally clean and tidy. Love the food at DQ. Not so great for my diet, but it is delish!“
“We stopped in tonight for the first time and it was amazing! We had a banana split, brownie sundae and some dipped waffle cones with all different flavors of ice cream, but make sure you don't leave without buying some of the authentic baklava....it's amazing!!!!“

“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. ???????“
