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.

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.

I've been getting ice cream here since I could remember. The prices are a little bit up there for some items, but I never had anything wrong happen with my orders, if there ever was they fixed it right there and then. Always look forward to getting ice cream from here once it starts getting warm!
