When we were living on Long Island, there was an ice cream place called Magic Fountain out in…read moreMattituck...(it's still there). It was hands down the best homemade ice cream around, and they offered a very wide & inventive variety of flavors. Well, since relocating to Va. in 2019, we have never been able to find anything close...until we accidentally stumbled upon Short Lane yesterday. It was every bit as good, and we will be returning.

I have driven by this place for years. I finally stopped yesterday!! The ice cream was smooth and…read moredelicious. The staff was friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked in. Plenty of seating.

We were staying at Great Wolf Lodge but decided to see what was in the area. The granddaughters (12…read more& 9) thought the ice cream was the best! My husband and I also thought the ice cream was very good. The young man behind the counter was knowledgeable about the place. We came in mid June so not many flowers were blooming. I could imagine it must be beautiful when all is in bloom. There was inside and outside seating. We were surprised to find corn hole and ping pong outside. We all enjoyed this break from the loud screaming kids of the waterpark. Totally recommend this for yummy dessert and some low cost fun.

Great ice cream shop and flower shop!!…read more First time in here and loved the overall feel of the place. They have seating inside and outside as well as some corn hole games set-up outside. It used to be a house that was converted into the ice cream shop. Now onto the important stuff...the ice cream! Lots of good flavors and I throughly enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie dough flavor and my dining companion enjoyed their vanilla shake. Service was efficient and kind. Each table was adorned with flowers arrangements that you could buy and they also have a make your own bouquet table set-up inside. Can't wait to go back for some more great ice cream and to make my own bouquet!

Their prices were super fair, cheaper than a chain. The espresso shots were delicious and they had some really great flavor options. They also had a "pay it forward" board which was super cute. Definitely a sweet little small town coffee shop, I will always recommend places like this!

The woman working there sold us rainbow sherbet and told us it was dairy free. I questioned her…read moreabout it and she insisted it was dairy free. I have never come across a rainbow sherbet that was, they usually all contain dairy...the brand they carry was no different when I looked it up. Skim milk is the third ingredient on the list. I thankfully caught it before my husband had any more of his which would have been terrible for him. Hoping the little bit he had won't affect him. People with dairy sensitivities, this wouldn't be the place for you, especially with the staff's lack of knowledge in the dairy department.

Yesterday around 3:30 p.m., my family and I stopped by one of our favorite ice cream shops, The Big…read moreScoop, and we were truly impressed by Courtney. From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm smile and outstanding customer service. Although she was the only employee working, she handled everything with professionalism, efficiency, and grace. There were already three families enjoying their ice cream when we arrived, and while we were there, she served our family along with three additional families--all while scooping ice cream, operating the cash register, and keeping things running smoothly. I asked if she was always scheduled to work alone, and she mentioned that another employee was supposed to arrive at 3:00 p.m. By the time we left around 4:20 p.m., she was still managing the entire shop by herself without ever losing her positive attitude or composure. Courtney deserves recognition for her incredible work ethic, professionalism, and dedication. In a time when great customer service can be hard to find, she set an outstanding example. Thank you, Courtney, for making our visit such a wonderful experience. The Big Scoop is fortunate to have someone like you representing their business!
