The cutest ice cream shop I have ever been in! They have an incredible table that's on a swing. You can sit at it with up to four adults and enjoy your ice cream while swinging! They also have the sweet single carousel ride for youngsters. Local photography is featured in one of their rooms and is available for purchase! The ice cream was delicious! I ordered the honey vanilla lavender and my husband ordered the cookies and cream. Will ate his entire waffle bowl... pictured! Lol I REALLY enjoyed mine too! It was the perfect spot for dessert!!

Super premium organic ice cream My wife and I stop here at least once while in the area. It never disappoints. Located across the street from Los Bagels in a very cool part of town. The flavors are many, lots of choices from cones to bowls. Staff is friendly and the vibe is laid back. Free water station with cups. Great after dinner stop Service: Dine in Meal type: Other
