Like many others we were just passing through and I came across this Ice Cream Shoppe. Being in…read morethe car for about 2 hours - it's time to get out and stretch and get some good ice cream. So many flavors to choose from, there's a ton here, and I asked some of the locals and they all have their favorites. The great thing is they will let you sample whatever your heart desires. So I tried almost all of the scooped ice cream, and then they had ice cream from the machine. Well in the end my dad wanted a strawberry milkshake, she wanted Butter Pecan - which they did not have - so we got her some Caramel Fudge thing and it was really good. Meanwhile I got 3 small scoops of ice cream - all different flavors. But the winner was the Strawberry Milkshake! Wow - I took a sip of my dad's and was like darn I should have gotten that instead of my 3 scoops. So why the hell not? I'm on vacay and won't be back here for a long time, in fact they are closing soon for the season, so I got myself a small strawberry milkshake - and it was awesome! Probably the best damn strawberry milkshake I've ever had! I mean - the last one I recall having was McDonald's I think, and this beats the heck out of that. Awesome ice cream and awesome friendly high energy peppy service here by all the girls who work here very well as a team. It's like a cheer squad in action - they yell out orders and directions and the person goes executes and brings your order. I'd be here every week in the spring and summer if I was around! Really reasonable prices too!

Not bad...not great. We decided to go and check this place…read moreout.. When we entered the place...no one was there....no hostess...no cashier...no nothing. I wasn't sure if we were supposed to help ourselves to the froyo or what... since this was our first time experience. I was hesitant about helping ourselves to the froyo...but eventually some other people entered the store and they just grabbed a plastic container and started filling up. SoOooo we proceeded to do the same. My daughter was so excited to try all the different kinds of flavors, she ended up putting a little of everything in her plastic cup. Wedding cake, cheesecake and so on. After about 10 min...a teen girl emerged from the back and waited for the other customers to check out. We eventually made our way to the topping bar, added the toppings to our froyo...then checked out. Reminder: You pay by the pound. It gets expensive fast. After checking out...we sat at a table and tried the different flavors.. Unfortunately, all the white flavors tasted the same. The only flavors that had any taste where the fruity and chocolate ones. Kinda bummed. Oh well. Lesson learned.

This location had two vegan options when I went, a cherry and a pineapple. You can also swirl the 2 flavors. I really wanted some of that cherry soft serve, but I gave up sweets for lent, so maybe next time. They also serve smoothies now. The smoothies can be made vegan by subbing almond milk. I got the Wild Mango. It was good but too icy. I'd ask for less ice next time. The place is large and clean and the employees were very friendly and helpful.
