Midweek on a hot July day, this was the only place in town that was open, and boy were we lucky. We…read morewere driving out of town after a fun educational visit to the state museum grist mill, saw this place was open, and we had to stop. And boy was it worth it. Cold waters, cold sodas, and perfect one scoop waffle cones. I had pumpkin ice cream and the wife enjoyed cookies & cream. Friendly service. Incredibly inexpensive. And the cookie jars are as advertised, floor to ceiling, with an entire back room filled too. If you're touristing around in Metamora, this unique place needs to be one of your stops.

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!

I had to have some ice cream the other day and my trusty Yelp app sent me to Libby's. I had a bit…read moreof a hard time finding the shop because they face onto a little park overlooking a stage. The shop is cute, all pink with ice cream themed decor. Two clerks were making cones and working when we entered. I chose an Expresso Brownie Swirl ice cream on a cone from a selection of 20 or so flavors. A "single" scoop was huge, but I was able to finish it. And it was delicious. My husband had a Black Cherry with chocolate chips, which he devoured. Neither one of us shared, each ate in our own little ice cream comas. There is a bit of seating inside or outside, in the park, there is more seating. The staff were friendly and you could tell they liked their jobs. Prices were reasonable. There is dedicated parking behind the building. I'll make Libby's a regular stop on my visits to Greenfield.

What sweet, enthusiatic and helpful young ladies my wife and I had to serve us today! They let us…read moresample a couple of the unusual flavors and were a delight to interact with. I had a coconut cream shake that was delightful. It actually seemed to have an actual piece of pie blended into it. I could tell the ice cream itself was good quality. My wife had a dulce de leche shake that was equally as good. We haven't had ice cream from Libbys in several years. It was even better than I remembered. As great as the ice cream was, the two young women working today were equally great. Libby, if you read this, let them know we appreciated the great service and their sunny personalities.

I am giving my 3 stars on my memories of great ice cream and service, otherwise tonight would get…read moreless than 3. A gorgeous Friday Summer night so I decided to stop for a treat after work. I thought the place would be packed but oddly it was not. There was a line of cars in the drive thru, but inside it was only one large group ahead of me. I knew almost immediately something was off this visit. I soon realized there was only one young employee working all alone. One person on a Friday night on one of the first 80 degree days makes no sense. Later, he had to come around the front of the case yo find a flavor. He stated he was new and did not have the placement memorized yet. A new employee alone on a Friday night?!?!?! I asked if someone had called in and he said yes, but elaborated the staff is allowed to pick shifts. If true it is not working and will have a bad long term effect on the sales. I gave the lone employee great credit for sticking out the shift and continuing to slug through. However, it does not inspire confidence in returning soon. Next issue was the lack of my flavor. I loved the first two seasons when they had Turkish Coffee. The last couple of years they carried a much less coffee"y" flavor, but at least they had something coffee. Tonight no coffee anything. My second go to is banana pie which had a chocolate where the tag was placed. I waited 15ish minutes for my turn to ask if they had coffee and when I was told no I thanked the dedicated employee and left. I love supporting local businesses, and I am a huge ice cream lover so I hated seeing such a favorite in times past have such an off night. I hope the management steps up if they have call offs to pick up the slack and work or they find a new better scheduling plan. Next Summer they won't be here if this continues all Summer.
