There are some tables outside, but no indoor seating. The employees are always friendly and the service is good.

Basically you fill your cup up with your creation and it is weighted for purchase. I price is $0.71 per ounce. There are 14 different flavors of froyo to choose from and a generous variety of toppings to pick from. The machines are self serve and the middle handle will swirl the two flavors of that machine if you wish. It's sugar everywhere! Diabetics please don't hurt yourself in here. The kids love it here as I saw many rotate in and out during my short visit. I had pineapple and peach sorbet. It was so sweet, tangy, and flavorful. This is definitely the spot to satisfy any sweet cravings. I am going to come back especially when the weather is warmer. This location has a lot of support for the community especially the children, so please come by and show support.

There's a small seating area inside but plenty outside. Parking is on the street and nearby lot. I tried the coffee toffee crunch and it was really good. Not too sweet and a good amount of toffee.

I will say that the heat does build! I will say that the heat does build while you are eating it, but it was delicious! In addition to fun flavors they also have fun ice cream cone options as well!

And dear reader, I should have kept driving down 14 and pulled into Julie Anne's. Look, I love nostalgia and old, quaint spaces. I remember going here as a kid and I'm sure I shared a frosty concoction and cheese fries with a girl I stopped caring about a long time ago. But this soft serve came up weaker than my memories. And I got a dirt cup blitz, peak nostalgia choice, but it just tasted cold more than anything else. I kept going back for more, expecting something different, but alas. Go to Julie Anne's. Go to the freezer where they sell cakes. Grab and oops out of the bottom and have a grand dessert at half the price. Oddity of the visit: woman walking down the line of people queued up, asking if we knew of any South African people living in Crystal Lake. Huh.

Haha seems like most places are doing this but because the influx of folks and people loving this place as well I think it's a great in and out concept.

The location is so small and cramped, they need a bigger storefront. I got a brownie sundae and added bananas and it was nothing crazy. There was barely any bananas for the price they charged me extra. The hot fudge was not even "hot" and the brownie was nothing special. They offered a pint of coconut but when I asked if they had that flavor they said no. I wouldn't recommend unless it's the only place you're willing to drive to.

I'm not saying the bacon was thicker than normal. It wasn't. I'm saying that the hamburger was like a piece of cardboard. I've inserted a photo and you find the hamburger... The bun was full of lettuce, tomato stuff, but a piece of cardboard for the hamburger. No, I'm not calling and complaining to them because all they will say oh well give you a new one just drive on by. I don't want a new one. I wanted the one that I ordered to be a very delicious juicy deluxe hamburger. I was so disappointed, but I opted for convenience of a drive-through as opposed to going somewhere else.

When I got my shake, the other person was kind enough to say "thank you, have a nice day", so it was nice that at least one person had a sense of happiness being at their place of employment. Regarding my shake; ugh, it was more like drinking a glass of milk. There was no thickness to it, & it didn't contain the consistency of a shake, & could barely taste the peanut butter portion of it. Would I ever go back? Probably not, especially after this experience. Being that this location was a convenient as being nearby, it now upholds a new standard; convenience store - low quality.
