Itgen's has been my happy place since I was 8 years old. The homemade comfort food, the ice cream, the hot fudge, the hand made chocolates, the kitschy old-school decor, there is so much charm and flavor here, you really need to experience it for yourself.
Order a FLAT CAR - greatest dessert ever concocted: Warm house-made pound cake topped with two scoops of your ice cream preference, drizzled with house-made hot fudge and capped with house-made whipped cream.

Took my family to visit one of my mom’s favorite places as a remembrance on what would have been her birthday.
Found out it is owned by new owners who were super nice and friendly. The place itself looked cleaner than last time I visited (approx 10 years ago). It could still use some new decor, but the food and ice cream were amazing as always.
Going to make this an annual thing.

And adorable old school diner with an ice cream parlor...owners appear to be a family, take great pride in service, food was good and ice cream even better! Just a "feel good" kind of a place!

Tip for the ownership. Establish and stick to set hours. Your hours say one thing on Google and you show up and the place is dark. Impossible to plan a last minute bite to eat or ice cream run.

Great small business to support. Generous portions of ice cream (the One Scoop size is more like 2-3 scoops elsewhere) also great service and a great price. The 2-3 scoop orders and special sundaes we saw from the counter looked HUGE. Waffle fries were solid, with a solid menu of food for a Diner, but the ice cream portions and customer service make this place a five star gem.

Not my first visit, but I will say they have upped their game since my last visit almost a decade ago. Our server was awesome & very welcoming & all smiles. She made our Cherry Lime Rickeys, fresh squeezed limes made such a difference! The food quality, excellent, ice cream quantity, very generous & tasty. Definitely highly recommended. Oh get the waffle fries! Heck get everything & tip the friendly hard working staff. They kick butt! Thank you Itgen's we will return soon!
