The pastel colors, spacious turf areas for play , picnic tables, and friendly staff make it feel like a vintage ice cream dream. The banana split was great , you get to choose from 3 scoops, fresh banana, classic sauces, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. Generous, delicious, and made with care. I prefer my ice cream a little less creamy, but still a delicious treat. Best of all, the pricing is very reasonable for ice cream . Just like our local favorite in Tampa, this spot delivers that timeless Dairy Joy Magic, simple, sweet, and the perfect way to end a sunny Florida day.

The staff were extremely friendly and patient as I had not clue what to order. I ended up getting a scoop of their deepest darkest chocolate secret and a scoop of the marshmallows cookies and caramel. My boyfriend ordered the caramelized bananas with peanut butter and honey and refused to share more than a bite and it was outstanding. The flavors are all made in house and extremely delicious. You can taste the quality and care that goes into the ice cream. As well as the quality of their ingredients. They also sell dessert bars which honestly looked out of this world but we did not have room left. The pricing here is extremely reasonable for the size and quality you get. Parking is tight as it is a few spots right off a main road on either side. But there is a small parking lot a bit further down. There is limited indoor and outdoor seating here but it is a must try if in the area!

No real whipped cream - can only…read more Aside from that, they do have vegan choices. Honestly, they aren't as good as a Van Leeuwen place but at least they have them. Key line was a great flavor for regular ice cream. No clue if they offer real ingredients or corn syrup but it's a clean, fresh location and you get a triangle of cone on the side, which is great. This is a place we'll stop when driving by and craving ice cream but nowhere we've found in the area is somewhere that's dairy fresh fantastic with real whipped cream. I do like how you get to try the flavors with a real spoon provided.

This was our second visit, and I can confidently say Clint and Victoria make every trip memorable…read more They are incredibly friendly and genuinely appreciative of both the local community and newcomers. It truly feels like the coziest mom and pop shop. There are so many flavors to choose from, and the ice cream is homemade. We ordered junior scoops of toasted coconut and peanut butter chocolate in bowls. While it is on the pricier side, we paid $13 for two juniors, the portions are generous and absolutely worth it. The scoops are large, and the ice cream is unbelievably creamy and rich. Easily some of the best we have ever had. One serving is honestly enough to share between two people. Keep in mind there is no seating, but that is part of the charm. It makes for the perfect stop to grab a sweet treat before heading to the beach for sunset!

They offered several Blue Bell ice cream flavors, including a few I'd never seen before. As soon as I spotted the Banana Cream Pie flavor, I knew exactly what I was getting. Served in a fresh waffle cone, it was absolutely delicious! The creamy banana ice cream with pieces of vanilla wafer throughout tasted just like the classic dessert. In fact, it was so good that we came back the very next night...and I ordered the exact same thing again! The staff was incredibly friendly and worked nonstop. Despite a steady line of customers and what seemed like over a dozen to-go orders, they kept everything moving with a smile. There's something special about finding a small, local spot like this. Great ice cream, friendly service, and a relaxed roadside atmosphere made it the perfect place to end our evenings. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area! I snapped zero pictures. I guess I was too excited for my ice cream!
