The interior of this place looks like it has barely changed since it opened in the 1980s. The atmosphere is fantastic, the ice cream is great, the location is perfect, and the service is always good.
I found the ice cream quite enjoyable, if not for the large pieces of ice in it. The cherry vanilla and black raspberry flavours were particularly delicious and creamy.
During our visit, it was not busy. The staff seemed to be idle behind the counter and could have been more proactive. The establishment was dirty; the table and seating were full of used napkins and waffle cone debris, and there were no napkins at the tables, which was a bit disappointing.

It's like stepping back in time the moment you walk through the door... 50s/60s vibes, excellent ice-cream and milkshakes. Booths and barstools available for seating. Great place to cool off and have a cool treat
Kid-friendliness: Bathrooms and seating available, and the ice cream helps too
