"I popped in the other day for some ice cream on a super hot day and fell in live with the vibe and decor. Mom and pop ran treat place. There's an entire wall dedicated to all kinds of goodies. We were greeted by high school kids (I'm guessing) who were super friendly and polite. I ordered the cappuccino chip yogurt and it was delicious! Parking is located behind the building in a free garage."

"This place is a gem. Struck up a conversation with the owner who was working behind the counter. Al is great guy. We stopped in for ice cream and left with some great tips for out-of-towners and even some reading recommendations. Very happy we stopped in. Oh, and the ice cream is delicious."
