⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Mimi Hardendorf
Their soft serve cappuccino mocha twist is fabulous! You get a good amount for the price. I've also had a hot dog which tasted like it had been done on a grill. Has lots more flavors than Dairy Queen

The staff are friendly and patient, even when the line gets long (which it often does). They clearly care about what they do and make every customer feel welcome. The shop is clean, charming, and has a cozy little outdoor seating area that’s perfect for summer evenings.

We had good food and amazing service. Angie was such a joy to talk to. She was really fast at getting our order out and gave wonderful customer service. I highly recommend going especially if she is working.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Mike C
Great food great prices. I have never had "flavor shot" ice cream before and it was mind blowing to me that something that looks like straight up vanilla ice-cream can taste identical to cotton candy call me simple I don't care but I definitely left there with a great memory (pun intended).
