I usually really like this place, but I have to say — do NOT get the Dole Whip. They gave it to me in a cone without asking (I would’ve preferred a cup), and it melted super fast. The flavor was off — kind of sour and weird — and my sister actually felt like she was going to throw up from just a few bites. On top of that, it was $10 for two small cones! Definitely not worth it.
That said, everything else here is great. Just skip the Dole Whip and you’ll have a way better experience.

The ice cream was adequate but slightly icy and less creamy. $8 for a large sundae that was small (see picture one bite taken) Sorry never again. Unless this was a one off, this is a tourist trap.

Nice little place to get your treat. Lines were not so long and they have a great selection of ice creams.

Stopped for a turtle flurry( like a blizzard). Was not disappointed. I got a small and has quite a time finishing it off. Generous servings! A gentleman standing there was getting a banana shake(made with real bananas). He said it was so good he comes back weekly for his fix!

A local staple for soft service ice cream! Cash only and great service. Easy street parking, lots of seating or walk down the street to the beach or dog park!

- ice cream is really good, the oat milk dole whip is pretty good. I do miss the vanilla dole whip they used to have.
- cash only place.
- staff were friendly and helpful.
- service was quick.
- place was clean and organized.
- prices are normal for the area, again this place does cash only.
- very limited parking but you can also park on the side roads.
- overall a great place for ice cream.

This place has an amazing menu and the best cool treat flavor options around. Bring cash because this place only takes CASH $$.

Great service, really patient staff, soft serve cones were very small and felt objectively like a bad deal
The young lady who took my order laughed at me when I told her what I wanted which made me feel very uncomfortable.

Only takes cash as a form of payment. Between 3 adults none of us had any cash on us, only cards. As customers we were turned away, they literally would not let us spend our money there. I asked for the reasoning behind this and the girl working could not provide an answer. We had 3 adults and 3 kids in our group, we all wanted ice cream but instead us adults ended up leaving with some really sad kids. We also watched as other customers were turned away. I'm just so confused as to why a business would want to throw so much money away. Unfortunately we won't be coming back, Do not recommend.

I felt compelled to leave a review due to the multiple unsatisfactory products we got in one order, especially for the price they are charging. I would go there for soft serve all day. But, be careful with their sundae and blizzard concoctions as the expectation can be a bit off from an expected target. Turtle sundae was weak. Key lime blizzard had bits of teddy grahams. Unicone sundae had way too many sprinkles which started to overwhelm the soft serve. TC Cherry crunch had bits of GLPC Cherry BBQ chips on top. Unique, but meh. Just getting straight to the point with my words. If I wasn't paying between $6-8 for these menu items, it wouldnt be as much of an issue. You dont get much soft serve for what you pay for either. All that said, there seems to be quite a bit of forgiveness on the recipes of their more expensive items.

I've been going here since I moved north in 1999, and it's got the best ice cream locally! Great staff as well.
