Living here year-round, I noticed this place opened early last summer, and have driven past it countless times, but only got to stop by this last week. No surprise on a cold and gloomy off-season, April afternoon that I was the only customer. But I was greeted warmly by the owner, Trevor, who kindly and patiently kinda showed me the ropes of the shop, so to speak. I had a hankering for a chocolate shake, and presumed Loopies would serve those (since they advertised having ice cream), but Trevor explained they did not do milk shakes/malts since all ice cream was "made to order", as in their stone cold rolled ice cream kinda thing. Alrighty then. So I ordered a fresh lemonade (@$4 small), made by Trevor in front of my eyes in the traditional, county fair "Lemon shake up" kinda style. So I was expecting that same, iconic kinda perfect blend of lotsa fresh lemon juice and sugar. And I was sorely disappointed. The lemon/sugar/water ratio *MOST* definitely leaned more towards water and sugar than lemon. Trevor was kind enough to add the strawberry "bubbles/bobas" (whatever) for free, just because I'd never tried them before in a drink. And they were a unique addition, however, there was nothing strawberry tasting about them, really, and aside from adding color and texture to the bottom, they did nothing for the lemonade, either way. This place offers a beautiful array of all sorts of cookies and other bakery goods, not to mention their made-to-order rolled ice cream. Their glass display cases are just lovely; classic bakery style, crystal clean and enticing; beautifully showcasing their many baked and otherwise sweet treats The place itself is super clean and cheerful and there's an outdoor space with picnic tables for warm weather enjoyment. With my lemonade, I snagged two cookies (@$2) a chocolate chip ganache and a lemon meringue. The chocolate chip cookie rated as just a "meh" to me, and in fact seemed slightly undercooked. The lemon meringue cookie, on the other hand, was absolutely sublime. Its (presumably?) sugar cookie base was perfectly well-baked and while at first I suspected the lemon filling was probably gonna be commercially made, I believe I was happily mistaken in that it tasted almost exactly like my sainted Italian grandmother's homemade lemon filling she made for her own heirloom lemon meringue pie It was absolutely delightfully delicious! So... while I've only sampled these three items thus far from Loopies, and probably won't go back for the lemonade or the chocolate chip ganache cookies, I'll definitely be back for another lemon meringue cookie as well as to sample their other yummy-looking goods! read more
