The food quality and taste is great. The young ladies serving us could do better with professionalism and less aggressiveness. The young lady taking our order did not have a smile, no welcome, not interested. The young lady making and giving us our order was dismissive and purely rude. We asked for a correction/addition to our order and the window was shut in our face. Not one word was spoken by her. We asked for more sprinkles as we paid for sprinkles. That's all. My rating is for the service. This place generally has always presented an excellent service crew. Tonight was the exception. Maybe my next visit will be better.

Yelp was spot on! The employees were SOOOO friendly and inviting. They were all smiles, let my daughter ask all the questions, and just pleasant to work with. They made the experience (and the ice cream) one that made us immediately want to come back. With all the competition in the area for ice cream, this place is definitely a top contender! If you're in the area, make sure you come and visit!

We were able to sample different kinds of ice cream in the process of figuring out what we wanted. They have a great selection of ice cream and sorbet flavors! Like their name suggests, they do not shy away from big scoops! The scoops we have in the attached pictured was for the medium size (2 scoops of different flavored ice cream) and it was more than enough for us! We highly recommend this place for the generous portions. The ice cream itself is also very good (I had blueberry cheesecake and banana pudding, yum). Beyond your usual ice cream scoops, they also do shakes, sundaes, banana splits, and more. And they also have a claw machine for all the claw machine enthusiasts out there!

My boyfriend and I needed a sugar boost at the end of the day, and after driving by multiple times, we finally decided to stop in... and I'm so glad we did. The owner, Chris, was incredibly professional while also being patient with my indecision, offering thoughtful suggestions and creating such a welcoming environment. Beyond that, he was genuinely kind, funny, and made the entire experience memorable. We will absolutely be returning the next time we need a sweet treat!!!

We came in tonight for cookies, and the experience was unacceptable…read more First, the weekly flavors in-store didn't match what was advertised online. Then, while there was only one employee working, the bigger issue wasn't just speed, it was complete lack of organization and service. Our first orders came out, but my cookie ice cream sandwich had barely any ice cream compared to my husband's. Like not even a scoop of ice cream it was like a spoonful. For $14, that's inexcusable. We then placed an order for four cookies. Instead of finishing our order, the employee repeatedly prioritized a large family behind us. She asked what we had ordered "said the system didn't register it" but when one person stepped away briefly, she chose to serve other customers which included giving away the exact cookies we had already ordered. When our friend came back (not even 5 min later) we were told the cookies we ordered were no longer available. Instead of addressing the mistake or offering a solution, she continued serving multiple other customers while we waited nearly an hour with no resolution and no refund. While it's clear she was overwhelmed, that does not excuse the lack of basic service, communication, or accountability. No business should be operating with one employee if this is the result. Overall, this was a frustrating and poorly handled experience from start to finish

I am pretty much the only adult with 3 children who absolutely don't know what they want even though they always end up with the same ice cream flavor they know and love, which is either cotton candy and oreo. There wasn't anyone after us, and if there would've been, I'd let them get ahead if that was the case. It wasn't so busy that they were swamped, rather it's steady enough that every customer who walks in can find a seat.
