“Ice cream here is fantastic. It is pricey.
There is a lot for the kids to do.
$20 per person does seem like a lot but there is quite a bit to keep the kids entertained. I feel like that is the sweet spot. Any more and folks might not bother“

“me and my grandkids have NEVER had something so special! Their parents were just divorced and this brought them out of their shell and made their day! The smiles on their faces have never been wider. I hope Miss Dianne (love her) remembers the grin on their faces as I do. From time to time they will even chant her name 😂 bless this amazing company and sweet Dianne.“

“Hands down one of my favorite 2023 finds! The ice cream is handmade and creamy, it is family run and locally owned, as well as being uber friendly! Stop on by to give it a go! The owner Lauren will be chuffed you did and you can thank me later!!“

“We stopped by The Spoonery and all went for the mocha chip—no regrets! The flavor was rich and smooth, with huge chocolate chips that gave each bite a satisfying crunch. The portions were generous, especially for the price, which felt totally fair. Staff were friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Definitely a spot we’ll be visiting again!“

“Ho-ho-hopeful! There’s a new ice cream joint in town called The North Pole. Because nothing says “summer treat” quite like being reminded of subzero temperatures and forgotten Christmas decor. The name is about as original as a made-for-TV Christmas movie—and the life-sized Santa statue standing guard outside doesn’t exactly help break new ground. If you’ve ever wanted to be judged by a plastic Claus while licking a cone in July, your time has come. The parking lot is flanked by tiny trees—well, technically saplings. They’re trying their best, but unless you’re under 3 feet tall or a garden gnome, don’t count on shade. I guess the owners figured the North Pole isn’t known for towering oaks anyway (there is shade under an awning though, don’t fret). That said, the place does have good bones. The building has that classic small-town ice cream stand charm, the menu has potential, and there’s clearly effort being made behind the scenes. You can tell someone cares! On to the actual product: the whipped cream is clearly made in-house, which I applaud. It’s thick, creamy, and rich—basically one step away from butter. But somewhere in the process, they forgot the sugar. It’s like someone churned up a dairy masterpiece and then whispered “sweet” instead of actually making it sweet. A few spoonfuls of sugar and we’re in business! Now, for a special customer service moment. Our server—my sister—came outside, sat down, and casually helped herself to several bites of our ice cream. No apron, no warning, just grabbed a spoon like she owned the place (she doesn’t). You could call it inappropriate, but I call it sibling tax. As for the banana split: it arrived in the general shape of a banana split, but the toppings were in some kind of abstract interpretive dance. The chocolate syrup was poured over the vanilla scoop, the pineapple sauce ended up on the chocolate scoop, and no one even mentioned chopped nuts. I’m not allergic, so that omission stung. But alas, it was my sister avoiding the awkward situation where she asked if I wanted nuts. I get it. Also worth noting: the building used to be Sandy’s Ice Cream—the one famously shut down for running an illegal drug ring. Honestly? The splits were better back then. Sure, there may have been felonies involved, but at least they put the chocolate on the chocolate! In summary, The North Pole might cool you down, but it won’t blow you away. It’s festive, it’s local, and it’s fine if your expectations are low and your siblings bring their own spoons. I’m just being silly. Please go eat their ice cream and support the business. It’s because of faithful patrons like you that local businesses can thrive!“

“MOTW has the best chai in the city. I love the soft, creamy, silky texture of their Yemeni chai. I love the way they decorated the 38th st location, very inclusive and powerful pictures. Great spot to get some work or reading done. Also love their prayer or meditation area. It’s such a wonderful coffee shop. Usually Raadia is there when we go and she’s such a kind and friendly soul, always so helpful and customer focused.“

“The ice cream is good, the long dark haired female working the window on Sunday night 6/2/24 might need to learn what being friendly with a smile means. This girl gave such nasty looks and appeared to be outright miserable.. merely scoffed at me as I ordered…. Her behavior was downright disgusting“

“This place honestly has the most amazing vibes. The area is clean, you can order a snack, treats, glass bottle sodies and even ice cream!! Today I went in to buy my boyfriend a blumborrow collector booster pack, which they were out of stock of, but I am so happy about it because they allowed me to handpick a tarkir collector booster pack. When I got home we both opened the pack to find one of the best cards I've ever seen.... Elspeth Stormslayer boarderless showcase halo foil, in Japanese. I was hoping for an Ugin but we are really happy with our score.“

“My husband and I get our daughter an icecream cake every year here for her birthday... Every year they have done an amazing job!!!! But this year.... They absolutely outdid themselves!!!! My daughter asked for a Jojo Siwa cake and boy did they deliver!!!! They didn't have a picture for Jojo Siwa and asked if I could email them the picture I wanted. Which was super easy!!! The woman I spoke to was so sweet!!! (I think she said Tina was her name?) I emailed the picture right over and they had it done in no time.... When I saw it I was absolutely in love!!! But When my daughter saw the cake she started happy crying saying how beautiful it came out and how it was better than what she had ever dreamed of.... She said it was the best cake she has ever had!!! Thank you guys so much for making her birthday extra special!!! ❤“

“We look forward to Pirate's Cove open season every year. The owner is so diligent with ensuring quality in the ingredients he purchases and listens to feedback from his customers.

All the food we've tried is fantastic, especially the clam cakes. The onion rings and fries are on point and the prices/servings are very reasonable.“

“February 6, 2025. What’s seemed like any other day in the life of an average-joe such as myself. What I did not expect, however, was my mind to be busted all over…

I visited the creamery expecting it to taste like any other, yet that is not how it turned out. The cream produced here, specifically by a fellow named Sid, in my case, was particularly excellent.

Regardless of your cream preferences, I simply cannot recommend this location’s enough. The cream here will just absolutely blow your mind.

My life is forever changed after visiting this location, and I’ll be chasing another cream experience of this magnitude for the rest of my life.

Wow. Just wow…“

“Love the place. But I got a chocolate crisp bar, but there was only like 10 crisps in the whole bar. And that is not an exaggeration. It is new on the menu, so hoping Hebert corrects this.“

“Back in for a second time as great service and unreal food we was served by the same person i asked his name this time as he was so welcoming an cool so thanks to all the staff and especially jon“

“I always find the staff at this DQ to be extremely friendly. I went to get an ice cream cake the other night, and when asked if I wanted something written on it, I said “feel better “. When I got to the window to pay, the 3 young ladies working told me that they hoped he felt better soon ! So sweet. Not only is the food and ice cream delicious, I left with caring wishes.“
