Ordered an Ice Cream cup for my son. We visit this location every year the owner has always shown us the up most respect until our last visit. My wife is usually the one who pays but on this day it was my son and I did not know we needed to have cash had 3 dollars not $4.26. He made me feel like I was worthless in front of three tables full of people because of a 1.26. I apologized he then proceeded to tell me there was 5 signs and pointed where they were in his store finally said there is an ATM behind me I could get money out of once again I apologized said I will be right back. At this point he has my 3 dollars tells me he doesn’t want the remaining balance which was a $1.26 after I had already went and got money out of ATM which billed me $3.75 to get my 20 out for him. The owner told to just make right the next time I visit?‍♂️not small town friendly like in the past.

Very good ice cream! Best at St Armand’s. And prices are much much lower than the other ice cream places. I got butter pecan and chocolate fudge cake. Yum!! Cash only! Make sure you remember to bring cash!

Wonderful genuine ice cream shop

I'm not sure it's exactly small batch but at least it's not $8 a cone like other places in the neighborhood. Waffle cone addition was very cheap (or maybe even free, I forget now). Be warned they have some right wing propoganda hung up in there. I guess it is deSantis' Florida right now but plenty of us don't want to see that.

Another gem off the beaten path of Saint Armands circle. Cash only, great at of, and most importantly... Excellent home made ice cream and service ??

Small business with very good ice cream and waffle cones. They only except cash though.

Some delicious ice cream is available at this location with some really interesting and nice flavors. Please be advised it’s a cash only business so don’t bring your credit card or debit card. You can either get it a regular Kona sugar cone, or a waffle cone with chocolate and sprinkles or you can choose to have it in a cup if you like very reasonably priced for this delicious ice cream.

The owner was very rude and the place is FILTHY. It actually is disturbing.This ice cream parlor shines a bad light on the the beauty of the surrounding stores and food eateries in St Armand’s. After having a great meal at a local restaurant we opt to try Olaf for ice cream. I do NOT recommend. The health department should come and evaluate this place ASAP.
