“I was not expecting much when visiting this spot. However, the staff turned out to be much friendlier than more premium ice cream offerings in the area. I found the flavors of ice cream to be more enjoyable as I haven't been at an American Baskin Robbins in over a decade.I was very pleasantly surprised and will certainly visit again.“

I have tried water ice, hand dipped ice cream, soft serve ice cream, pretzels, hot sausage.

The ice cream and water ice are served cold, its not melting all over the place when you get it, the pretzels were warm and soft , the hot sausages were very good!

Sometimes there is a line at the windows, it moves quickly!

You get a good sized portion for the price
They have sizes from small all the way up to quart

The water ice and ice creams are very flavorful!“

“Water ice is good and not full of ice chips. The pretzels were hot and the service was quick and cost very affordable. Had an order of 3 min water ice , 2 cheese pretzels and 1 plain pretzels for $12 +/-. It was clean and there was parking.

Parking: It's a small lot that fits about 8 cars. But every time I go the lot empties out fast and I always get a spot right in front .

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes the store is a pavement level store with doors open and lower order windows, that one in a wheel chair can reach.“
