Under new owners since mid-March 2025 and they are so friendly! Super customer service and gotta love Half Price Banana Splits every Thursday all day! They also have Buy One Scoop, Get One Free every Tuesday! The shop is very cute & plenty of room for seating. And ask for the card they stamp so that if you visit 5 times then you get a free ice cream! Look for the red & white striped awning!

This seemed like a cool place to stop. We stopped in with a small group (3 adults and 1 child). The sign was on and the dining room had a small group of 4 elderly people eating ice cream. My father in law ordered a chocolate malt and the gentlemen running the joint informed my father in law that the milk shake machine was closed for the night since they are closing in 5 minutes. The hours online showed 1- 10 and it was currently 8:55. Once we ordered a few cups of ice cream we payed and exited. Once out the door my wife noticed the gentleman running the business had turned the dining room light off while the elderly group was still inside and trying to finish their ice cream. This was totally not acceptable and very unprofessional of the single gentleman running the counter. I pray he was not the owner and that this gets resolved - this shop seems like it could a super cool shop and a great business model but not while being ran in such a fashion.

Re: Owners response - No worries.. if I recall, I don't believe the lady at the cash register was entirely wanting to work with us as customers, but i may be mistaken- it was three months ago. ?... We'll be back!

Go on a Thursday!! It’s half off banana splits. With tax I think its $4:20. Its a steal. The ice cream is really good too. You can try three favors with the banana split. I also had a milkshake. Definitely recommend.

A must visit and a great place for locals to go to. So many flavors and toppings to choose from. Great people there that do not rush just because they have to get you out. Wish them plenty more success.

Best ice cream spot in the area. The staff are awesome, and so was the ice cream. They have Tuesday and Thursday deals that had us coming back. With all the basic novelty shops and candy stores around this place is a breath of fresh air.

We were regular visited here on half-price banana splits on Thursday nights for 11 years but two weeks ago when we were there, the banana in our banana split was only half of a banana & was so so brown it almost tasted fermented and I always request all three vanilla scoops. One scoop having hot fudge one scoop having caramel and one scoop having Marshmallow which I always pay extra for. The owner just squirted a squirt of hot fudge over all three, Carmel same way & I heard him tell the young lady that was working with him. He only had a little bit of marshmallow left, and he didn’t want to go back and get the other marshmallow out of storage. I am so disappointed. I don’t think I will patronize this ice cream place again. Very sad service
My family and I got here before the store closed. The man serving at the counter was extremely rude. It was clear he did not want our business, and it showed in his attitude. We were in and out and he was slamming stuff and saying "what do you want?"
Worst, meanest service I have ever encountered!
