Long lines but worth it!…read more I'm not sure I've ever seen this spot without a line! We visited recently and waited maybe 10 min to get in. We tried a sundae and cones and a number of items. Very delicious - creamy and not at all icy like some spots. Friendly people working there. And it's kind of nice to be the only group in there at a time. They didn't rush us even with the long line behind. Worth it - be prepared to wait but you will enjoy every bite of the delicious custard.

I have heard about this ice cream parlor and stumbled upon it by happenstance; I didn't even…read morerealize this is where it was. They had some amazing looking ice cream cakes! And a great selection of ice cream to choose from. We were a bit in a hurry and I didn't want to mess with ice cream and a toddler on the move, so I got a hot chocolate for us to share. It's unlike any hot chocolate I've ever had--it's hot, but they make it with ice cream so that first sip or two is both hot and cold. It is delicious and delightful and may be my new favorite hot chocolate. As the weather warms up and we head out here for swim lessons and whatnot, I'll look forward to stopping by for ice cream, which is my favorite. And I'm definitely checking out their ice cream cakes because I'll bet the little ones would love it!

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.
