“Perfect Scoops for Outdoor Bliss at B&G's!

B&G's is the ideal spot for a delightful outdoor ice cream experience.

I recently enjoyed their soft ice cream and it was incredibly creamy and refreshing, perfect for savoring outside. The flavors are always balanced and delicious.

The friendly staff make every visit a joy, and grabbing a scoop to enjoy in the fresh air is simply the best. For fantastic ice cream and a lovely outdoor treat, B&G's is a must-visit!“

“*Where Ice Cream Dreams Come True*

If happiness had a flavor, it would be found at Heaven on Hill Ice Cream. This little slice of frozen heaven is proof that some angels don’t have wings—they have ice cream scoops.

From the moment you step up the atmosphere wraps you in a warm hug, immediately convincing you that calories don’t count when the dessert is this good. The menu? A masterpiece. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of rich chocolate, a lover of fruity sorbets, or someone who believes that anything tastes better with chunks of cookie dough, this place has something for everyone.

The staff are the true MVPs—always smiling, always ready with the perfect flavor recommendation, and somehow able to stack ice cream scoops higher than your hopes and dreams. And let’s talk about portion sizes—because they’re generous enough to make you question every other place you’ve been that skimped on the good stuff.

Bonus points for the quirky toppings and creative specials that make every visit feel like a tiny adventure. They’ve somehow figured out the science of turning simple ingredients into pure joy.

Final verdict? If you haven’t been here, you’re doing life wrong.“

“Will update with a photo next time, but I stopped in for a quick ice cream and milkshake and was very happy. They deserve to win all the awards, lots of flavor options and fast service with high quality deserts! I love how the milkshakes are made with the old fashioned stainless steel cups, it makes a big difference in taste and appeal.“

“Used to love Padulas however this year something is off. They had amazing ice cream, Perry's, for all these years now this year it's definitely a different brand, probably Hersheys which is a little bland in my opinion. It is not their fault that I don't prefer Hersheys. Unless I am confused it's ok in a pinch. The sprinkles also seem to be not the best brand either. I asked for layered and extra extra extra, they don't do this quite as well as every other place. Maybe it's a good thing considering.“

“Very very nice people to deal with they went so far as to load the car rearranged it and everything I was going to make two trips instead they did it so I only had to make one thank you and will buy from you again in the near future.... Frank“

“When living in old forge I stopped here almost daily during the summer. no shame. they also have the friendliest staff“

“I visited Duck Donuts for the first time last week. When we got there, there was a line, but it moved quickly. Staff members were extremely friendly and I saw them all working well together. Our Donuts were very warm, fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back again!“

“Staff was very helpful and accommodating. I placed an order for a custom ice-cream cake and was meant to pick it up, unfortunately there was an accident at the store that day so they had to close early, and I wasn't able to pick up the cake. They ended up having it delivered to the recipient for me at no extra charge which I was very grateful for.“

“This place has had a great revamp. I think the ownership is relatively new. It was a little iffy for a bit during the transition but the whole place now has brand new furnishings and is immaculately clean. The service at the counter and the drive thru is always efficient and polite. I’m sitting now in the blissfully quiet dining room listening to their overhead music (Heart, at the moment - yeah I’m a late GenX sucker 😂), and just finishing up my delightful and perfectly-sized $7 meal deal. A delightful experience. Drinks are refillable to your heart’s content, so who knows, I may camp out here indefinitely.“
