Small ice cream shop attached to a seafood restaurant. We actually ate elsewhere and just popped in for an ice cream. They have the Hershey ice cream and about 32 flavors to pick from. This is also a gift shop as well with lots of cute gifts to purchase. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, and she patiently waited for us to decide what flavor we wanted. The small is a generous 2 scoops and the large 3. Prices were very reasonable, and they have so many flavors to pick from that it's impossible to not find at least one you want!

A Hidden Gem with Delectable TreatsI recently stumbled upon a delightful little ice cream shop with a bakery tucked away off Interstate 95 at exit 98. Nestled amidst a wide offering of gas stations and other full meal choices. Part of the year there is a charming produce stand offering fresh peaches In the same parking lot, this small gem offers a delicious experience for any dessert lover.**Atmosphere and Location**The location was perfect for a quick detour during my journey, and the ample free parking was a welcome sight. The ice cream shop itself was small but undeniably attractive, featuring cozy tables and a quaint counter area. The adjoining produce stand added a rustic touch and provided an opportunity to relish some delightful peaches before getting back on the interstate.**The Pecan Pie - A True Delight**My primary reason for stopping was the allure of their homemade pecan pie. I must say, it was a decision I will never regret! The whole pecan pie was freshly baked in-house, and every mouthful was pure bliss. The perfectly toasted pecans, the sumptuous filling, and the flaky crust came together harmoniously to create a masterpiece of flavor and texture.**Blondie Bars - A Brownie Lover's Dream**As a dessert enthusiast, I couldn't resist trying their blondie bars. These little brownie-like treats were absolutely fantastic, offering a delectable combination of chewiness and sweetness. I ended up purchasing a couple to savor during my journey, and they did not disappoint.**The Ice Cream Temptation**Though I was primarily drawn to the bakery treats, the ice cream on display looked equally enticing. Unfortunately, I was too full after indulging in the pecan pie and blondie bars to give the ice cream a try, but I am certain it would have been just as delightful.**A Quirky Service Encounter**Now, here's where my experience took an amusing turn. As I entered, there was a group of customers wrapping up their visit. While they were friendly and greeted me warmly, there was No one behind the counter, there was someone, I assumed a customer, who seemed a bit preoccupied. They were sitting at the bar, clicking on their phone, as if they were in their own little world.I looked around, looked at the ice cream looked at the menu board glanced around the shop, walked past the person sitting at the bar on their phone, walked over to the bakery rack, bought one of each of the items a full size pecan pie a small pea camp hat and some brownie things, I walk over to the counter, I set my items down in front of the cash register, I look around,Assuming the staff might be occupied with something important in the back, I take out my credit card a lay it down on top of my items, I sort of looking around I kind of sway over toward the ice cream and just glance out of the second, To my surprise, the person beside me put their phone down, stood up, and walked behind the counter. With no greeting, no hello, or any formal acknowledgment, they simply asked, "Is that all?"Though the service lacked the warmth and friendliness I expected, I reminded myself that I didn't stop for service—I stopped for the goodies, and they were well worth it!**Final Thoughts**If you find yourself passing by this area, I highly recommend stopping at this charming ice cream shop with a bakery. The whole pecan pie and blondie bars were truly fantastic and worth the detour. The ambiance and the delightful produce stand nearby added to the experience. While my service might not have been the most welcoming, I encourage you to give it a try, as the homemade goodies are simply irresistible.In conclusion, this hidden gem earns a well-deserved four-star rating. Enjoy your visit, and I hope you have a warmer and more inviting experience!

Wonderful customer service! Staff was very friendly

A little hard to find (could use better signage) but seems like most folks stop over after dinner at the steak & seafood place. Great stop for cold, hand-scooped ice cream on a hot day! Some seating indoors and also on a little patio.

Great little ice cream shop! So many yummy flavors we had a hard time choosing! I had 2 scoops, peach and blueberry cheesecake ? Make sure you are looking for it, there isn’t a very big sign! This is a hidden gem ?

Cute ice cream shop! Many different flavors and decent prices. The server was nice and welcoming and she offered flavors for us to try without rushing us to order. If in the area again, I will stop in.

Tried it today. Air was broken or something.Thought about a sandwich but couldn’t do it. Fans very very noisy . Too hot to eat it in there. Girl working seemed miserable . Ice cream had lots ice pieces in it . Probably from freezers trying to thaw from the heat. Wasn’t exactly what I expected. Maybe it was a bad Sunday. ??‍♂️

What started as a quick trip to dairy queen turned into a fun adventure to find icecream. We stumbled upon the icecream bar and definitely enjoyed it! The staff was very friendly. And they had a big selection of icecream. We are glad we found it! We will definitely be back.
