“My family and I just got back from Sweet Cups! It's our new favorite ice cream spot. The owners were super nice and I loved looking at all the historic buildings and Churches on the way. Many of the buildings, including sweet cups (1940) were built in the early 1900s.“

“I have nothing but positive things to say about Taco Rico. Food is fresh and oh so good. Reminds me of being in my grandmas' kitchen. When I say everything is good, I mean EVERYTHING is good. Don't even get me started on the staff!!! They will always have my vote. Yes, sometimes they are closed during their normal business hours, they (family & staff) run business and life happens. Always 5 stars in my book.“

They Fulfil and their served their niche of providing cookies that the Fire captain that used live next door and has2 daughter's one close to my daughter age, I asked her and her dad did she try crunbl cookies and he said he didn't buy Crumbl Cookies, he thought they were ABIT Pricey. He would purchase from Walmart for the girls cookies. I was going to offer purchasing his youngest daughter an order of Cookies, but thought better of that. I didnt want to over step the father's decision not purchasing Crumbl Cookies, my Daughter Olivia just loves their cookies“

“Love Love LOOVVEEE their ice cream. I ordered the 6 mini scoop option(scoops were still pretty big). My daughter and I had a difficult time deciding which was our favorite because they were all so delicious! I also ordered the chocolate chip cookies which were also amazing. I look forward to going back with the rest of my children. Thank you for your amazing service and the best ice cream I've had in a long time.“

“I had my first scoop today. It was called Tainted Love. It was dark chocolate with swirls of raspberry and brownie chucks. It was so delicious! The service was excellent as well! I may make this a weekly treat!“

“Locally owned and operated family operation, carrying on a family tradition! I took my nephew, who is 10 and a self-proclaimed shave ice expert: he loved the flavor options and the insulated cup inside the large-rimmed spill protector case combination — my backseat loved the large rim too! 🤣😂“

“Our favorite fro yo place by far!! My kids love going to the library at the plaza to play right after getting our treats. $6 cup day is the way to go but they also have a great point system plus a really awesome reading program our oldest is working on where Fifth & Emery reward reading time with free fro yo, Books for Yo! They have games and books for reading in the restaurant too. Such a great localy owned family establishment. We visit for every celebration and always try to make it in for $6 cup days. Gotta love a super delicious and healthy alternative to ice cream that focuses on family 🩷“

“My family loves the ice cream at this place, they have so many different things to try. We have to step out on faith to try them because no one speaks enough English to explain! But it doesn't matter the language barrier makes this a fun place to really try new things.“

“Ice cream was really good with great variety. Only issue was it comes out a bit melty. Not like custard usually does, since spinning the toppings in adds heat. It's a bit more than that even. Otherwise a great little shop for ice cream at what I felt was a good price.“

“I stopped here for dessert with my friends. The staff was very nice, and let me try a couple flavors before I decided what I wanted. I had a scoop of the triple mango and a scoop of the very berry strawberry. Both were good, especially the mango.“

“The scoops are big and the ice cream delicious. Don’t let the cost deter you “treat yaself!” My son got the blue monster and i got the blackberry cobbler, we both loved the flavor we got! It was the perfect dessert after lunch at Habashi!“

“i just bought the bordo cherry ice cream .WOW!! it's super delicious. Also bought my other favorites, French vanilla and black walnut. I bought milk too. other products I buy often are yogurt and cottage cheese. Bellefonte is the absolute best.“

“Great ice cream ! Wonderful customer service!“

“Changing my review. All though I didnt have a great experience at the store, the help from the owner was far more than I could have expected and certainly helped my situation. She was great and went above and beyond to help my situation and I appreciate her. Julie is great“

“My grandson loves Culver’s!“

“The Recovery Juice Literally SAVED ME! I started kickboxing again after a long break. I was fully expecting to be sore and tired the next day, but I stopped at Nekter and saw they had a Recovery option. My first experience with juicing so the taste took an adjustment. It was not bad at all, but you can taste every thing! My body is thanking me that I took the time, no soreness whatsoever! Unbelievable truly! I also tried the Chocolate/Peanut Butter Protein Shake and it was FIRE!! 😝 GO CHECK IT OUT!“

“We were in KC visiting family and my 3.5 year old daughter saw the bright yellow and red. Immediately ran in and the cashier was the nicest ever to my daughter! Really wish I remembered her name. Interacted with us and gave my daughter a sample. We of course bought much more as it is so addictive, but I really loved how kind the employee was. Nostalgic and perfect“

“Tasty Unicorn came to our school Field Day. It might be the best ice cream I have ever had. So delicious!“

“The atmosphere was so so pretty it had pretty colors all over and cute little ice cream cones on the wall and more, there was also so so many different flavors of ice and food. The food was amazing and big for the price, the people were really sweet and ofc not the best with English but there was no problem for us asking for stuff, do not trust the people complaining for no reason, they were not racist my family is all white, mom and 2 kids lol. The only problem is most the place was Spanish so I had to go online for the menu and the internet wasn't the best but other then that little thing everything was amazing ❤️🫶“

“Simply loved it it’s amazing! ♥️Unique place here for prepared snacks here at Grandview. They also have decorations for Easter Mother’s Day etc🥰.must top by loved it. And the snacks are delicious♥️“

“Amanda, the Director of Operations, was so friendly and efficient. She was easy to work with to plan our corporate ice cream party. The driver who came was also very nice and the ice cream was delicious! Will definitely use Ice Cream on Wheels again!“

“Who doesn't love this place? Fun fact: Did you know that Topsy's Popcorn Shop were the originators of the Cherry Limeade? Wellllll, even if it's not 100% true, I believed the person who told me, talked to the manager there for over 30 years and he confirms that they've made those drinks since 1977! Listen here, I tried it! The color was a lot more red than what I'm used to (Sonic and Braums) But it was DELICIOUS!!!! Go try it! Show him my pic and tell him Val Ford sent you! ???“

“This is the good location! staff is friendly. They often give you large cups when ordering medium and give you a little extra. The ice cream is solid. They charge you THE CORRECT PRICES! (yes others tend to overcharge.) There is a reason this one tends to have a line of cars, while the others in the northland do not.
If you're in the northland, they are definitely the best quality for your money, even quanitity. You'll get half as much at culvers, or cheap soft serve at DQ for same price. I recommend caramel jackhammer with butterfinger mixed in, or butterscotch jackhammer with pecans mixed in!“

“Fun friendly staff and manager! Tilly my rescue loves going to the drive through for her pup cup! Today we went through the drive through the staff was getting super slammed and did a great job! I think the manager helped me get my favorite orange dream bars in stock! Thanks guys!! Sandy and Tilly(my snoopy rescue)“

“Great ice cream I love the jackhammer’s“

“Ken greeted me as he opened the door for me. Everyone was so kind and helpful. I had a takeout order. Ken opened thw door for me again as I left. The food was fresh and yummy. I am allergic to soybeans. Thw grilled chicken sandwich and single scoop 😋 made for a tasty lunch break.“

“LAS GALLETAS SON UNA DELICIA OMG🍪👏“

“Amazing food and customer service!“

“A nice quality burger and custard restaurant. Drive thru is efficient and the staff are always friendly. I highly recommend this location.“

“Probably my favorite fast food burger joint in Liberty and their custard is delicious. Service is always friendly and quick. I don't love the shoe string fries but I love their seasoning and fry sauce so I make due lol. Still highly recommend. Especially the brisket burger in the fall!“

“Food was good as a normal sonic drive-in. The kid that brought our food notices our dogs and offered to get them a couple of wag cups. Atmosphere gets a lower rating simply from the turn in off the street is bad. With curbs on a hill that are hard to navigate.“

“The lady in the drive thru’s name was the same as mine .. Megan , which was funny and we laughed about it . She was very nice and prompt . The food I ordered was hot and fresh . Gravy was delicious with my hot fries . I will definitely be back ! Thank you.“
