A special place to create great memories 🍦🍨
Stopped by for a strawberry shake and it was delicious! Adding it to my must stop locations when I am in the area.
A one of a kind ice cream shop and a hidden gem in Polk County.
Update to add in 2024 the place is still awesome. Be advised it is cash only and gets really busy.
Place is really cool, old fashioned vibe, opens seasonally. Has a lot of choices so you have to go back multiple times lol

They got the ice cream and summer treats to cool you and your family down in the scorching summers. But it can get super busy. Don't get mad at them if it's busy they're doing the best they can. But yah you can wait and that's okay!

Been here twice in the past couple weeks. First time, no vanilla ice cream. Tonight, closed early? You good, Van Dee's?

Fantastic little gem. The have lots of options, I just wish there were more descriptions. We went for the first time and it was overwhelming. The staff was also more interested in talking to each other than to use, but otherwise it was great. Very cute and great soft serve ice cream. Their dilly bars and homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches looked delicious.
Parking: The parking lot was small. Was also right next to a bike path so I'm guessing lots of people bike over for a treat.
