Been coming here for years, is how I think many reviews of this place would start. But it's…read moretrue--probably since we moved into the neighborhood 13 years ago. Cash only, great service. Usually some high school seniors or college kids on a summer job, I think. Today I went and it was early in the season, midday, so I may have been taken care of by the owner or manager, and she was really great. Gave my dog a pup cup and water while I worked on my Dole Whip, even giving me no side eye when I spilled some of the water trying to hold all the cups. Every treat I've had there has been great. My fave is the cherry dole whip. They rotate the dole whip flavors weekly I think. If you go midday there's barely a wait, if any. If you go in the summer right after youth softball or baseball games from like 8pm on, the line will be at least 25 deep. But it's worth it. Did I mention cash only?

I still can't quite…read morefigure out the sweet spot for price-to-brownie size when I visit local bakeries; the brownies here feel a little small for the price, but they were mostly tasty. We tried a range of flavors and my family liked what they tasted, but no one was that interested in running out again the following weekend to try them again, even driving by the location to remind them of the place we had visited. Silverland is the kind of place I like having near the highway so that I can pick up treats on the way to work or a social engagement if I've forgotten to make something at home. It's also a small shop with just a table or two off to the side, so I don't think it's a place I would stop to dine in. There's also parking nearby, assuming you are not on foot for a visit here!

I told the nice gentleman who waited on me that this was my first time visiting and he gave me the history of the shop and the owner while neatly wrapping up my brownies. Definitely try these brownies.
