“Oh my! Just stopped by this cute little ice cream shop and had the best sundae ever! The owner suggested I try the banana pudding ice cream and let me tell you it exceeded my expectations! Delicious with little vanilla wafer crunch in there! I had them make me a sundae using it topped with chocolate syrup, whipped cream and a cherry. It was like an amazing banana pudding split!! I’ll be back!”

“Five stars simply does not do a place like this justice! My girlfriend and I stopped by after our ride on the GSMR, and it was a phenomenal time! We both were treated so kindly by Pop's and we got to pet on Tank, who is just the cutest dog! The recommendations Pop's gave us has us wishing they had a location back home in Missouri! His soda shop will absolutely be a first stop next time we vacation out this way, and I would EXTREMELY recommend this to anyone looking to quench their thirst with a tasty treat! Thank you, Pop's, for creating a fun atmosphere that had us talking about you and your shop the entire drive back to our cabin! -Tim”

“I have been going to Heavenly Fudge since I was a kid 15 years ago. It was always one of my family's highlights when going to the mountains. Now, as an adult, every year for my birthday we make the 2.5 hour trip just to get some Heavenly Fudge. It's nostalgic for me I'll admit, but I can't understand how anyone could say the fudge is bland. I've personally never had that experience, and like I said I've been there a lot. My personal favorites are the chocolate, chocolate pecan, and peanut butter fudge. They melt in your mouth and are fabulous with a glass of cold milk on the side. The mint melt aways and chocolate turtles are also delicious. A word to the wise where the dry comment was mentioned. As soon as you get the fudge home put it in a zip lock bag and let as much air out as possible. Keep it wrapped in the paper you're given. This keeps it moist for up to a week while you enjoy it. I'll keep coming back for Heavenly Fudge year after year. The Fudge Shop down the street ain't got nothing on it. The customer service is great and they are always willing to let you sample. This small family business is a one in a million find.”
