"How are they supposed to know that?" They aren't. Being kind is free. Went in yesterday and ordered vanilla ice cream with marshmallow top, and butterscotch (with the nacho chips) We were the first orders in there, but we were the last served. We did nothing and kept getting dirty looks and glares. Honestly sad. Worst experience I've had there, and after how they made me feel? It's the last experience. They gave me a cup with half melted vanilla ice cream in it, brown sugar, and some sort of syrup. First time I've gone anywhere in public because this seems like a reoccurring thing..... next generation is just so brain dead. How hard is it to make ice cream? Horrible work ethic follows you.. an ice cream shop doesn't seem like a solid job but it's all in the experience. Not treating it like a job will cost you in the long run.. The ice cream wasn't the problem at first.. It was the service. then i tastes the ice cream and it was sour. So disappointing. Anyway, you never know what someone has gone through. I've worked very hard on just appearing normal and I'm so glad I look normal enough to bully...

Trying samples of the ice cream and cheese is a must before deciding what to buy. The gift shop is so nice and there are a lot of items to buy as gifts. We had dinner at Young's. The Rueben sandwich was good. The cheese curds were to die for! The service was very fast and efficient. The carousel was so much fun! It was like I was 5 years old again! I loved Jennifer the goat. I loved that the horses were painted as different flavors of ice cream. I am looking forward to coming back for Fall festivities and a future event.

Since it was Father's Day I treated myself to the Peanut Butter Heart Attack Sundae and wow, it was full of Peanut Butter flavor. If you're a nut for Peanut Butter, you'll go nutty for this terrific sundae that peanut butter sauce is amazing. They have about 20 ice cream flavors from Buckeye Fever, to Raspberry Sorbet and coffee to s'mores, it's really a good selection. They also have 30 soft serve ice cream flavors including the famous KI Blue (KI stands for King's Island, remember King's Island during their Smurf years?), which I'm totally trying next time for nostalgia reasons only. They have dole whip, I've heard their Ice Cream Nachos are very good (they have a cult following). They have slushies and smoothies and their rendition of the flurry, called "The Cyclone". Just walk up, ring the bell, grab a seat (seating is limited outside, there is no indoor seating) and wait for the staff to come who will order on a tablet and within minutes your order is ready. The price is good, the scoops are massive (look at my raspberry sorbet picture, that is the kiddie 1 scoop) and make the cost worth it. Enjoy this local of locals, it's awesome. Just wish the drive thru wasn't right next to the sitting area with no wall or fence or railing or nothing, with kids it felt a little unsafe, but hey at least it will teach your kids to pay attention.

They have all the stuff, all the tables and chairs, the kids games, a brand new patio outside. It's the same ambience. The workers are the same. They have no control over the prices. I don't know if I'm gonna be coming here this year again. There are other options that cost a lot less and have at least the same selection and atmosphere. It's a shame too.

Grannies Cookie Jar & Ice Cream Parlor is a Metamora, Indiana icon, though it may be weird to call…read moreanything in this historic Franklin County town an actual "icon." There's quite a bit you know about me if you've followed my reviews for any length of time. This likely includes my long friendship with fellow Yelp Elites Rick G. and Holly G. - in fact, I performed their wedding ceremony! The three of us have actually collaborated on quite a few projects over the years, either due to Rick's music and comedy or because of my long history of activism and charity work. Frequently, our collaborations combine Rick and Holly's creativity with my activist spirit. For a couple years, Rick and Holly owned a shop in Metamora called Mosaic Learn & Play - I, in turn, owned a small charity bookstore within the walls of Mosaic. While I never spent nearly as much time in Metamora as did Rick and Holly, I spent my fair share of time there and grew to appreciate the picturesque, friendly town. Rick and Holly's wedding was even in Metamora! As is true of most historic towns, accessibility can definitely be an issue in Metamora. Truthfully, I'd say there's more that's not accessible than there actually is accessible in the town. Grannies is most certainly not perfect, a step greeting you at the front door and a crowded shop making even the most experienced wheelchair user more than a little paranoid. It's possible, I've been to Grannies more than once, but it's definitely a shop where I take my time wheeling and I am super careful everywhere I turn. Grannies, first of all, is an official world record holder. Granny owns over 2600 cookie jars - and I believe they're all actually here in this shop. She's held the record since 2012, as I recall. Grannies is, of course, an ice cream shop. Granny even makes all of her waffle cones by hand. Each one has a Hershey kiss at the bottom. She puts a whole lot of love in her waffle cones. The ice cream is pretty incredible, too. She has quite a few flavors and they're at reasonable prices for pretty darn amazing servings. Grannies is open 7 days a week throughout the year. While I can't say I'd drive all the way to Metamora for her ice cream, if I am in the Metamora there's no way I'm leaving without stopping at Grannies. Metamora is a beautiful little canal town. It has definitely been impacted by the pandemic, but the people are also hanging in there. I'm not quite going to say that time stands still here, but it's sure not a place you go to speed up. Metamora is a surprisingly easy drive from Indy and the entire Franklin County area could easily be a relaxing, fairly isolated day trip with Brookville also nearby as the seat of the county. There are even a couple places you can stay in Metamora, though they aren't particularly strong with access and you'd probably want to go to Brookville if that's needed. If you get a chance, head south to Metamora and be sure to stop in at Grannies for some ice cream and definitely check out those cookie jars!

This is quite possibly my favorite shop in all of Metamora. Not only is there icecream for you to…read moreenjoy (though sadly, I'm not able to partake these days since it's all dairy), the store is wall to wall cookie jars. Not just wall to wall... there are added sections in the middle, too! That's not mentioning the back room also has a ton of cookie jars! There are cookie jars shaped like fruit. There are cookie jars shaped like iconic characters. There are cookie jars with Coca Cola theme. Christmas. Animals. Just seriously, so. Many. Cookie. Jars. They do also have some coffee mugs and salt and pepper shakers. Bottom line, this shop is so quirky that I can't help but stop in when I'm in town. I just watch my step and make sure my purse won't knock the shelves. In Grannie's, if you break it, you buy it! PS -- there is a bathroom in the hall between the front room and back room, should you need one. They can be difficult to locate in Metamora if you don't know where they are.

I grabbed a sandwich, and it did not disappoint. Fresh bread, generous portions of meat, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and just the right balance of flavors--simple, classic, and done right. You can tell everything is fresh and made with care. The deli case is impressive too. From prepared salads to grilled items and Italian-style dishes, everything looks well-stocked, clean, and appetizing. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every visit because it all looks that good. Overall, Jerardi's Little Store delivers quality food, great presentation, and that small local-shop charm that's hard to find these days. Perfect for a quick lunch or grabbing something delicious to take home. Definitely worth the stop--and the return visit.
