Ordered 4 scoops of ice cream. We tried the "Exhausted parent", mint chocolate, banana cream pie, and the Oreo. Ice cream was good and they had a good amount of options as well. Also had lots of topping options and cone options. Only gets a 3 star because the portion size is very small for the price point. Cost just under 17 dollars for 4 small scoops of ice cream. Staff is friendly. Place is clean, and has a lot of seating.

This place is amazing. Pat is so friendly and their product is always top notch. It’s reasonably priced compared to other cone/bowl single serving ice cream establishments. It does get costly if you’re looking to bring home a quart or half gallon of your favorite flavor but I still think it’s worth it for the quality.Parking: New garage directly across streetKid-friendliness: Always welcome to all

I went here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised with how creamy the ice cream tasted. Pat the owner is super nice and knowledgeable to talk to you can tell she loves what she does. Lastly the diner type decor was cute and aesthetically pleasing. Will definitely come back to try other flavors.

The ice cream is fine ... It's your typical ice cream shoppe... But it's never open, the hours are horrible

Excellent! My hubby said James made the best banana split he's ever had! I had the dark chocolate cake cone (zanzabar, I believe) it was exquisite! Super creamy ice cream!!
I really wanted ice cream and like the coffee shops we explore in small downtowns, we also love to find local ice cream shops. At first, this one disappointed me. They had a lot of good-looking flavors and even some vegan ones. I'm not vegan (anymore), but I still like to limit my dairy intake, so I got excited at first when I saw oat milk based ice cream... especially in my favorite flavor - peanut butter & chocolate!BUT... they display their gorgeous waffle cones... FULL of gluten and crumbs... right on. top. of. the ice cream.I think the guy behind the counter saw me start to panic a little when he asked if I'd like a taste and I responded with, "I can't - these are contaminated." I was ready to choose a flavor in another cabinet where there weren't any cones, but the cones probably get moved around in those cases... so I wasn't sure if I could trust any of the flavors.He was a little hard to understand over the noisy patrons (kids ), but eventually I realized he said they keep each flavor in the back in clean containers for those with severe allergies.Cue HAPPY FACE!! He went to the back and got the oat milk flavor, then he even washed off the scoop before scooping mine out. I REALLY appreciate the extra effort!So if you have allergies, don't panic... gluten, dairy, nut, whatever it is... just let them know and ask for the good stuff in the back.The ice cream itself was OK - not the best dairy-free I've had - but it was decent. I'm sure their regular flavors are absolutely delicious. Hubs definitely enjoyed his.

This was my first time ever going to Pat's. Great service! They had about a dozen flavors of vegan ice cream! The peanut butter oat buddy was amazing. I will definitely be going back!

My family and I love this place. They love the many ice cream flavors and my stomach appreciates the Italian ice options. They can even make you an Italian ice freeze (instead of a milkshake... They use Italian ice and soda water) It's so good. Highly recommend.

The oreo oat milkshake was really good. I appreciate the vegan choices.

Dairy-free ice cream. I am in love ❤️Not one, not two, but 6 flavors that were vegan-friendly. I had an oatmilk shake this time, but I will be back a lot more. Soooo delicious!! Such a cute shop inside, with great friendly, helpful staff.
