    Overpriced, under portioned.
    Pearson W.

    Holy tourist trap. Hi welcome to the Funky Twig where portions are none and prices are through the roof. My trip to this ice cream place was a total fail. The ice cream was good and for that they get 4.5 stars but the price to portion was horrible. They have three scams: "half scoop" one scoop, and two scoops. We got a half scoop and a single scoop. The amounts were around the same though, about a half scoop. $6.50 for the "single scoop" and $4.50 for the half scoop. For the photos the half scoop is the cup but it's had a few bites out of it. And the single scoop is the cone, untouched. It had none in the base just a bit on top. Support local businesses except when they charge too much... My advice is go to a Braums and get way more ice cream for way less.

    This location is in a shared plaza with plenty of parking. The inside is super cute with different places to sit and enjoy your coffee or ice cream, work a bit or maybe have a bookclub. The coffee is so good. The barista was friendly. It is an unexpected gem.

    Burnt muffin almost as black as stovetop

    The ice cream was very good but the flavors we had were too soft. The waffle cones had a good flavor too. The real disappointment was selling us a very burnt chocolate chip muffin with paper around it so you couldn't tell it was burnt. The muffin was to go so we didn't know til we got back to the condo. It was not edible at all. The muffin case was also labeled coffee cake muffin which this was not any version of a coffee cake muffin I have ever seen. I even asked the cashier if it was coffee cake and she said yes.

    The ice cream is ALWAYS amazing. The coffee is also ALWAYS the best around town. Staff is friendly too. We love this place.

    Found this charming gem of a place on Yelp! Amazing!!!!! Worth it!!!! Do it!!! You won't regret it!!! This place is literally a hole in the wall but once inside you are transported to the most magical sweet sensation

    Such a cute shop! I got a cold coffee and the ice cubes in it were frozen coffee. It was delicious and I love that it didn't get watered down. We also came back a second time in the same day to try the ice cream. The single scoop is a huge serving. I could hardly finish it but it was so good! Definitely worth the stop. Update- we went again and got the Funky flight of ice cream! This allows you to pick and try 6 different flavors and was only $10. It was all so good.

    Amazing spot to stop for ice cream. Super cute decor and very friendly and accommodating staff. They have some dairy free options as well as many gluten free options. Their PB & J ice cream was absolutely delicious!

    We love supporting local business. So we were excited to find this spot on our trip to Kimberling City. This cute little coffee and ice cream shop is the place to go for some good coffee. They had several different flavors of coffee (including seasonal). I had the Salted Chocolate latte and my husband had a Mocha latte. They were both very good and a great pick me up. We ran out of time to try the ice cream while there, but it looked delicious. We are definitely going to make a point to try it the next time we are in town. They have 50 rotating flavors that include sorbets, gluten free and dairy free options. They also offer a funky sundae, root beer float, frappe, a brulee banana split and the best thing ever a flight of your choice of ice creams. The staff was sweet and helpful. They also carry a few souvenirs from tees to tumblers. So if you find yourself in Kimberling City head over to the Funky Twig!

    How is it possible to have such a remarkable ice cream in the middle of little Kimberling City?? I am immensely impressed by the quality of The Funky Twig! Don't be deceived by the location, the proof is in the product. Confidently, I can say that the best ice cream in the Branson area is @thefunkytwig in Kimberling City, right by Table Rock Lake. The texture is silky and delicate, and smoothly scoops onto a cone (similar to Utah's Rockwell Ice Cream) Their homemade waffle cones are also a treat! Soft and molded perfectly with a touch of cinnamon: paired beautifully with the Banana Nut ice cream (I consumed it all..). Their flavors are also executed perfectly. Some of our favorites were: Pb&j (peanut butter ice cream with berry jam ripple) Dark Chocolate Almond Cherry (almond cherry ice cream with tiny chocolate bits) Maple Bourbon Bacon (maple lite bourbon ice cream with bacon pieces) Chocolately Chocolate (deep, rich cocoa ice cream) They announce their flavors DAILY on their Facebook page. This place is worth the detour in any vacation.

    We love this place, but the service on the fourth weekend was very bad and there was no coffee ice cubes which we love.

    Great ice cream. Friendly service. Short drive from the Talking Rock cavern. If just need a taste, try the 1/2 scoop.

All the flavors we tried were delicious including the chocolate with habanero, bourbon butter pecan (SO good), candy bar bomb, and key lime pie. Really good quality ice cream, loved their sign saying what unhealthy things they don't include in their ice cream, like artificial food colorings. Texture of the ice cream was perfect and flavors were high quality, and the price was cheaper than I expected. Check this place out!

    Short: Premium cream and amazingly delicious flavors! Small cute little shoppe. Visited week of…read moreJuly 23rd '23 [Service] two bubbly girls served the ice cream and counter. Pretty straight forward in letting us know free samples were offered and showed waffle cones. Scoops were generous. [Ice Cream] wow! Definitely can taste they use a homemade premium cream base, not a singular taste of any ice. Almost custard like because it was so rich. I tried banana pudding (very banana but the fresh natural kind) and root beer float (tasted exactly like the name!!). I got German chocolate cake (vegan & gluten free) and Chocolate Chunk Brownie. My friends got vanilla and peanut butter fudge with caramel. We all Kept going back for more. German chocolate cake was one of the maybe three vegan options. It was very decadent and honestly I have no idea how this was vegan. It was as rich and creamy as the non vegan ones. Happily not icey at all!! Unlike other vegan ice creams. There was a quite a bit of coconut shavings in each bite. Definitely an amazing vegan chocolate flavor - vegan ice cream makers need to take note! Chocolate Chunk Brownie was extremely rich. It said it had brownie chunks and chocolate chips. However, after getting 2 servings of it - there was no brownie in sight. Which disappointed me along with I wish it was a more deep chocolate taste. Vanilla was definitely rich and creamy. Waffle cone was sweeter than others. I think they added extra vanilla - absolutely one of the best waffle cones I ever had! [seating and shoppe] outdoor seating that was shady in the eving perfect for a summer evening. Interior had seating and paper towel rolls. Beautiful bright colors inside. [overall] definitely a rich creamy homemade base to the ice cream flavors. I went back for seconds!
