I found my new favorite ice cream!! But so sad that it's 3.5 hours away from home!…read more We had lunch nearby and before we headed out on our roadtrip back home, saw this ice cream shop and decided to stop by. The two teenagers working were friendly and helpful. Provided samples when we were trying to choose between flavors. I went in there thinking I was going to get a scoop of their coffee heath, but once I sampled their salted Oreo, I fell in love. The sweet and salty and creaminess of that ice cream was so perfect!! A couple things that I found do awesome in this store.. they have self serve water in the dining area! So many ice cream places make you purchase bottled water if you get thirsty after your sweet treat. They also have shakers with sprinkles at tables!! How awesome!! I will be dreaming about that salted Oreo ice cream til we finally meet again.

Busy place which is awesome. Normally love coming here. Was grabbing ice cream for my family. I…read moretold them repeatedly I did not want lids. 4 orders plus a pint. When you order it with lids you somehow get less and when I am paying $8 for dairy free ice cream I want my money's worth. It also can get really messy with ice cream melting around the lid and spilling out everywhere. Instead of listening I got lids on 3 out of 4 scooped ice cream along with my pint. I get it can be confusing when there are multiple orders but it does not hurt to ask again. I think someone was also new because because someone was doing to weakest of scoops. Normally I am used to the worker really digging in to get the scoop and that just was not happening here. They also kept getting very confused when we were ordering.

This place is decorated very nice, very cute decor. The staff members are friendly and do a great job keeping the place clean. It is a very nice place for lounging and chatting with friends.

After we asked them to clean one of the tables they told us to clean it ourselves. There was no toilet paper, paper towels in the bathroom. Once I informed the staff of this they did nothing. My daughter shoe fell off because it's stuck to the ground. It was horrible. I would not recommend.

I've been burned by this in the past - come prepared! I just love the vibe of the shop, the way it's decorated, the staff are friendly, and the ice cream is great. My go to is plain vanilla soft serve in a cup with Krunch Kote! It's a peanut butter flavored crunchy topping that I have dreams about. The googly eyes they put on everything is so iconic! A Johnston staple I hope is around for many years to come :)

The fact that they don't take cards sucks, but the ice cream was good! Not remarkable, just good.read more

Everyone inside Snookies was buzzing around the inside. The interior was extended to house all the goodies and options. Ordered a small chocolate malt and hubby got a large marshmallow malt. They were both fantastic. We got our orders and headed back to the car while the crowd continued to grow. Love this place forever.

Both items were very lacking in flavor. In fact, the chocolate for the twisted looked more like vanilla. The crunch topping, a crushed peanut brittle with sprinkles, was good though.
