Was Joe L at Caroline's a mag?
Step back in time for delicious hard scoop ice cream, candy, old fashioned soda and fudge. The tastes are free but you do have to pay for a full serving, play your cards right and you can try them all to get your ice cream fix. The setting is beautiful and atmosphere is nostalgic. It is for sure a great stop in your adventuring in the mid-west. View all feedback.
What Rebecca D dislikes about Caroline's:
Tried to go in tonight after dinner next door, the girl behind the counter made it very clear we weren’t welcome because they closed in 15 minutes. Turned around and walked out. It doesn’t take fifteen minutes to scoop 4 cones of ice cream that has clearly melted and then refrozen. They got 2 stars because I had been before and not had a bad experience. View all feedback.
Since the move to joplin, caroline’s has become one of my fav places to go to the weekends....and sometimes also the weekdays! they love their ice and the choice. of which I have not seen any more for decades (e.g. superman and blunt ice cream.) the only big quip I have is that they were closed at least several places when I went past and the hours listed on google and in the restaurant itself that they should be open. I understand that the things are unexpected, but gas is too expensive to waste today! if they give a warning if they are closed, that would be very nice. also the prices here, as quite everywhere else, to serve milk products, have risen drastically, as I moved to jomo in the januar. I have found that it is a good idea to not consider the prices that are handwritten on the chalkboard behind the register and on the display tassen / cone on the theke, on the main board behind the ice counter, to avoid any cash surprises despite the above problems, I will continue to be a shield of caroline’s and I recommend it!
I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! While the menu items may be a bit pricey, it is a special establishment and to be expected. The chocolate was delicious and the ice cream was outstanding. I am thankful my friend and I chose to dine here instead of elsewhere. The building is gorgeous, with a stunning art gallery in the hallway. The staff at both the restaurant and gallery were friendly and polite. The restaurant was clean and the dishes were well-prepared and stored properly. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend stopping by for a visit.
Really good ice and the personal was really nice! quiet little place to get ice and sweetness! it's almost like you're going back in time!
The service was incredible, the prices were unbeatable, I absolutely loved this place. It will now be our go-to spot for ice cream dates with my partner.
The service was outstanding and the ice cream was delicious! Despite the long line and only one employee working, he was still extremely polite and cheerful. Our entire group was impressed with his service. As we were leaving, I asked for his name - thank you Zachary for the wonderful experience!
