You don't need to add anything else because there is a bit of saltyness meets the sweetness of the banana and the coconut flakes gives it a decent amount of texture over the ice cream base. I got to sample the banana almond chocolate ice cream that one was good. The toasted coconut ice cream left me a lot to desire because I did not get to experience the actual coconut flavour besides the texture of flakes. That one felt like it was vanilla ice cream with toasted flakes. They do make sure customers are satisfied. The ambience reminds me of Ladurée in NYC minus the crowds. I loved the decor and the intentionality behind it. I loved the wallpaper in the bathroom. It was so cute and whimsical. I need to come back and try the crepes by coming in before 4pm. Otherwise, if you come past 4pm you can still try their pies, and ice cream with a glass of dessert wine( I saw they had during my visit a good port selection!). One last thing, I took home some their homemade cookies. That academia cookie, hit the spot and will definitely recommend you to try it!

After some perusal, I elected a chocolate mousse slice. It was a resplendent work, with strong chocolate but a mix of flavors including a surprise hit of caramel at the bottom. The ice cream is locally made but I certainly did not have room to try it. There seem to be several local businesses under this general ownership, which gives one a good reason to pull over while traveling through the region.

Staff could be a bit more friendlier; also, the drinks just take way too long to prepare, even with 3+ staff on shift. There's a good amount of seating, but the surfaces and the furniture needs to be wiped down. I recommend in avoiding using the restroom. A plus was their funny fruit figurines that they had for decor. +unfriendly staff +long wait time for drinks +unkept tables

Unfortunately, we were so excited I forgot to take pictures of the food, but it was really good. I got avocado toast which was decent and my husband got the smoked bbq pulled chicken sandwich.

The coffee menu was literally just a sign that said specialty drinks and then it looked like a bar more than a coffee shop. Despite that, we loved it and would happily stop here again. I also asked where the baked goods were from because they looked unique. They were sourced locally from a girl that worked at the restaurant across the street. Definitely stop on here for a local gem.

Daily special: caramel French toast with vanilla drizzle. Delicious!

Had to try one as soon as we got in the parking lot. They were delicious. My problem is the decoration on top. I could have done better. All I wanted was a double "W" on top in yellow. Oh, I got the double"W" all right. It seems the "artiste" was in such a rush or didn't care how they turned out. Two weak and wobbly lines across in the color I wanted. Showed the decorator a picture of two WIDE yellow lines. I was assured it would be duplicated. Put those two skimpy lines together, wouldn't have made one in the picture provided. We paid $27 for 24 cupcakes. I had to take the yellow and try to swirl it in the white so they would look presentable. So I will wear yellow on Wednesday to make the design of the cupcakes look like they were done on purpose. Didn't mind the price of the cupcakes because they were worth it, but should have had been compensated for the lousy design. Will I get cupcakes from them again...absolutely, but will stick to some design that the decorator should have said she could literally replicate and do.

On my first full day exploring St. Michaels, I had already knocked out an awesome dinner…read moreoverlooking the harbor and found myself with one remaining mission for the evening. Ice cream. Actually...excellent ice cream! My dinner waitress recommended Justine's Ice Cream Parlor without hesitation, so I wandered a few blocks through downtown and walked in around 5:30pm on a Friday evening during Fourth of July weekend. To my surprise, I had the entire place to myself, which was perfect because this place has SO MANY choices that I needed some uninterrupted decision-making time! Justine's has been serving homemade ice cream in St. Michaels since 1987, and it's easy to see why it's become such a local tradition. Beyond dozens of ice cream flavors, they offer their famous Wall of Shakes, sundaes, floats, dog-friendly treats and even the legendary Titanic Sundae Challenge, a 6 1/2-pound mountain of ice cream and toppings that was featured on Man v. Food. Watching someone attempt that challenge would almost be worth the trip all by itself! After staring into the cases for far longer than I'd like to admit, I settled on the Choco Taco ice cream. Then the friendly employee behind the counter casually suggested turning it into a sundae inspired by one of their Wall of Shakes creations, the Sinnamon Toast Shake. Say less, kind ice cream human. Please, make my dreams come true! For $7.50, I was handed what can only be described as a work of art. Choco Taco ice cream topped with crushed graham crackers, warm butterscotch, caramel sauce, whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. Folks...It was PHENOMENAL! Even more shocking? There wasn't a single peanut butter ingredient involved. As someone whose personality is approximately 63.8% peanut butter, that's saying something! The Choco Taco ice cream was rich and chocolaty with crunchy waffle cone pieces mixed throughout, while the butterscotch, caramel and cinnamon transformed it into something that tasted warm and comforting despite being ice cream. Every bite was a little different, and every bite was fantastic! There isn't dedicated parking right outside the shop, but I had no trouble finding free municipal parking just a short walk away. Inside seating is pretty limited, with just a few spots available, though there are a handful of tables outside along the sidewalk that would be perfect on a beautiful evening. Whether you're stopping in for a scoop, tackling the Titanic Challenge, working your way through the Wall of Shakes or just looking for a sweet ending to a day exploring St. Michaels, Justine's absolutely deserves a spot on your itinerary. My dinner waitress gave me an excellent recommendation. And, now, I'm passing it along to you!
