“Love you Sonic for YEARS! But... for the last few months almost every single time I get my usual Cookie Dough Blast I am so disappointed. Manager please retrain your kids how to make the Cookie dough Blasts.🙏🏻 Either there are absolutely no dough chunks mixed in the Ice cream and only a spoon full of melted ones on the top. OR there where a few they put in the ice cream before they blended it which disintegrated them into tiny little specs, with a few melted ones sprinkled on the top. I have been getting these for years and I really miss the awesome way you used to make them. Thank you ❤️“

“Sugarwitch is a queer-owned business with a few rotating vegan options for their ice cream sandwiches. They serve drinks (coffee, tea, & specials) and also make custom ice cream cakes. Sugarwitch is frequently selling their sandwiches at Tower Grove’s Farmer’s Market as well as hosting/sponsoring other community events. They also gave me some free vegan peach almond “hexes” with my order once when I suggested expanding their vegan options in an online order. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-15“

Oh and they had a childhood favorite flavor, Superman. The ice cream shop is adorable and the ice cream is off the chart good! We will definitely be back for more.“

“My family and I visit Happy Days at least once a week sometimes more. The past few times we have been in, the scoops keep getting smaller. One scoop does not even fill a small cup now. Big scoops make people happy. If you are that worried about a few cents in product, I may need to start taking my business elsewhere. It’s a real disappointment to get a small bowl of ice cream that has hardly any in it. I can do better than that at home.“

“The frozen custard was excellent. So far, it is the best concrete I have had: rich, creamy and full of flavour.

The only downsides were the location, which felt a little rough around the edges, and the service. The staff were not particularly warm/welcoming, and the overall atmosphere was not especially inviting.“

“Went back for a 2nd time (2days in a row), customer service was still top tier, and the drinks were amazing. I brought my husband with me for a post workout drink. I ordered a protein lemonade pomegranate & wild berry flavor. It was absolutely delicious. I was so flavorful. It was a little too sweet so I brought it home and watered it down a little. My husband got an ice cream sandwich flavored shake. Tasted exactly like an ice cream sandwhich. Both were loaded with at least 22-23g of protein!“

“These are legitimately the best snocones ANYWHERE. I dont know how they do it, but they are so full of flavor without making your cup nothing but syrup. I've been coming here for 15(?) years and the transition from Angie, the Snocone Lady to Kerry, the Snocone Dude was seamless. We are SO lucky to have such an amazing small business in our community. My favorite is Hurricane, which is blue Raspberry and lime. My kids are strictly rainbow fans. All of the flavors are amazing though!“

“We get takeout for lunch once a week. Usually a chicken strip or cheeseburger basket. Have been going here for over a year now.

In the beginning, the fountain drinks were the same as we’ve had anywhere. However, in the last two months all of the drinks we have gotten tasted off. Didn’t matter what it was. I believe that something has changed with the water at this facility.

Other than they the food has always been tasty and hot.“
