Description

This long-standing neighborhood ice cream stand is a seasonal pilgrimage for locals and visitors. Famous for waffle-bowl sundaes piled with fresh fruit, whipped cream and nuts, it also serves fried mushrooms, wings and cheeseburgers. Fast, friendly window service and attentive staff create a communal, sunny-day atmosphere. Offerings are consistently fresh and well made; expect busy summer lines, generous tips and slightly higher prices for quality treats.

Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. The Banana Pudding Avalanche is pure heaven. Great to eat outside when it’s nice out.

This is a neighborhood gem that brings everybody together. The young people working the window are fast and friendly, even under pressure of a long line on a hot day.
