Ben Neumann has been around for about 10 years. If you love a variety of pies this is your place…read more My favorites are the thaw and serve and many have a pretzel crust or a cookie crust. Most are seasonal and I'm glad it's fruit pie time. I recently got the Margarita pie. Two of us go through it in 3 days. Nothing better to do than eat pie all weekend, especially these. My other favorite is the tiger striped chocolate cream. He does savory and also hand pies if you want to sample or eat it on the spot. He started a variety of ice creams, too. All your ordering is on line then you arrange a pick up time. So get on the list. He has set up his garage for all the sales. If you ever want a pie in your face, better hope it's from here.

My first visit and I doubt I'll go back. I thought it was a little odd that we walked into an empty…read moreshop and no one came out of the back when we entered but the attendant respondent when I rang the bell at the register. She looked very annoyed at being called and that made us feel uncomfortable. I asked if they had sample cups to try flavors. She said no. She also said "I don't know what to tell ya" when I asked how do we know which flavor to buy if I've never had. For context, I'm accustom to being provided sample cups or tasters of the special flavors at ALL other ice cream and froyo palors I wanted to try something new but this place doesn't offer samples like other parlors. I decided not to try them. My friend did try it and said it wasn't good. The flavors are mild tasty like sugary water. The attendant was rude AND the froyo was terrible. Not for me.

The ice cream is huge, the waffle is sooo good, and the prices are decent for the amount of ice cream you get. I got a single split of mango and pomegranate sorbet, super fruity and yummy. My friend got a single split of the mint chocolate and oreo(?), also super tasty and I actually finished his for him since it was so much ice cream. The flavors are blended very well and are never overwhelming. They always have flavors from wall to wall, and the workers make sure to accommodate your palate so there's a scoop for anyone who walks in. They also will let you try as many as you want, superrrrrr thankful for that since I'm indecisive sometimes.

Grand Ole Creamery is a very popular ice cream spot located along grand avenue. They also serve…read morepizza although this is a review of just the ice cream. There is street parking available nearby. It is always busy in the summers, with the line stretching out the door. The wait isn't as long as you'd think though, because they have a lot of employees working inside to try to keep things moving as much as possible. Service was friendly, even though they always seem slammed! It is a relatively small space inside, with only a few tables, there are also benches outside for more seating. They have a decent selection of ice cream flavors, ranging from your more classic flavors such as cookie dough, sweet cream, and coffee to a couple more unique flavors like taro and marshmallow. They also have options such as waffle cones and waffle bowls and ice cream sandwiches. I went with the strawberry cheesecake ice cream with strawberry topping in a waffle bowl. I really enjoyed the strawberry topping which had lots of strawberry chunks! The ice cream itself was decent, but there are creamier ice creams in the cities. This is a good spot if you're looking for a sweet treat and in the area, and the atmosphere is fun if you're with friends or family! However, it is not a can't-miss spot to me

The portions are huge, which definitely helps justify the stop. The ice cream itself wasn't the highest quality I've had, but the generous serving size helps make up for that. The only downside for me was the overall setup. It didn't feel especially welcoming, there's no indoor seating, and no bathroom, so it's definitely more of a quick grab-and-go stop.

This location has gone through pricing changes almost every time we've visited, from going by size instead of weight to increasing the cup cost. The last time we visited, they seemed to be under new management and/or decided not to pay the franchise fee, so they were called "Froyo Factory" but serving ostensibly the same product, and with essentially the same interior decorations. The latest pricing change was to require purchasing an empty cup at the front of the store before you could fill with yogurt, which led to slow an unsatisfactory service.
