When you walk in they had so much to offer - from ice cream to local goodies, t shirts, novelties and homemade baklava. They had a good variety of ice cream flavors and I settled on their chocolate mocha which was delicious! The guys behind the counter were so nice and noticed I was in the food and beverage industry and offered me a 10% discount which was very nice. This place definitely caught me by surprise and I find it to be a really cool local spot right by the market. I am looking forward to coming back!”
