“I submitted a review through Google, but I will include it here as well. I cannot recommend this shop enough. First time coming was in early Summertime. Came in with friends, craving some ice cream. Not only did this place deliver, I have come back time and time again since receiving the same incredible service and atmosphere Ryan and his team brings. The rotating flavors are a wonderful dream of variety. If anyone is ever looking for a place for that sweet tooth, or a beautiful way to end your Downtown venture, achieve Great Heights. You will leave soaring through Great Heights.“

“Great ice cream, but make sure if you are eating your ice cream outside in the heat of summer you ask for a bigger cup. The single cup is very small and they fill it to the max, which is great, but it also means when it starts to melt the ice cream starts spilling out the sides and there is no stopping it. I'm a grown adult with many years of experience eating ice cream and I looked like a toddler with ice cream running down my hand and arm. Ask for a single scoop in a 2 scoop cup.“

“Solid, little ice cream shop...

Stopped in for ice cream as that's what we wanted after our dinner before the Super Bowl. We had been at one of these over on the Siesta Key side of the bridge and knew it would be at least as good - and it was.

A nice varied choice for ice cream, the server was friendly and patient with us, and she did a great job serving up nice, big scoops. The ice cream itself was creamy, sweet, and if I could have gone back for more, I would have. This little franchise has got it going well...“

The three beef tacos had generous mildly-spiced filling, soft toasted corn tortillas, lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese and come with taco sauce and sour cream. Hot sauce on request. The food was hot and the draft beer was cold. My meal with a draft cost $16. And change (not including tip).“
