We stopped into this ice cream shop on our way home from visiting friends in New Vineyard. The kids wanted ice cream and Google recommended this place. We were pleasantly surprised at the amazing selection of ice cream! And then the portions were ginormous! We ordered smalls and should’ve went with baby size but the challenge was on to finish these huge ice creams and I have to say …we did! They were yummy! And the price was great too~ good choice Google! And thank you to the owners … We will stop in again someday!We had peanut butter cup sundae, small cotton candy in cone, small cookie dough in cone & small mocha crunch w/ crunch coat in dish. All were great! And huge!

Amazing ice cream for a great price. Even stood in the rain for it. Worth it!

They have great soft serve. Its rich and flavorful. A small is an extremely generous portion at a great price. They have a rotating list of special soft serve and Dole whip flavors. Their hard serve list is extensive. Lots of options for those who are dairy and sugar sensitive. They only get 4 stars though because on several occasions Ive had ice cream fall off my cone due their improper filling of the cone. Could stand to have some more staff training on that.

I love your ice cream and I usually get very good customer service here. Today September 24th around 3:45 pm there was a young man who took my order first he came to the window and said nothing I said hi he said nothing again. He took my order I handed him 12 dollars in singles he didnt even count the money and put it right in the till. I could have handed him 3 dollars he wouldnt have known. Then I get my ice cream turn around from the window and he almost walked into me as he was leaving work he said something under his breath. This kid has a pretty serious attitude problem you could totally tell he did not want to be there at all. Not exactly the type of experience people want when going to an ice cream shop. All the other girls working in there were very polite and helpful he was the only one with a negative attitude

Great place. Has icecream here. With cones that are waffle-like. They have a decent non-dairy option (3 actually) that are actually decent according to my wife. And some good no-sugar added options for myself. Huge portions...so theyll never cheap out on you, just remember to specify the # of scoops because you might need two people to finish a small (not a bad thing!!). Also on the 4-wheeler trails, which we frequently stop at while out on the whistlestop.

1st time stopping here in my travels. It was awesome! Ice cream menu board was almost overwhelming! They must have had over 100 flavors of hard serve, many softserve, and all kimds of sundaes. I ordered a large frappe (hard ice cream milkshake). The woman who waited on me at the window talked me into a combination chocolate/black raspberry - maybe the best Ive ever had. The size was what Id expect - not giant but larger than a medium. If you see them....go visit them!

Like this place has All the flavors any kid could ask for!! And I say kid because kids have an awesome imagination ...and this place leaves their (the kids) jaws hanging to the floor! Its got good parking space but I can see it get real stuffy on some popular Sticky days.. Theyve got places to sit right by the water..theyve got a little brook that runs beside it..Its got some shady areas mainly on the left side of the building..Theyve got soft and hard and really creamy ice cream ..all comes water and waffle..cups and dishes for banana splits.. Caramels chocolates fudge nuts candy coatings ..oh sprinkles too..Theyve got the WHOLE SHBANG LOL..You should go! Bring your friends ! Or go alone! Its just that kind of place . 😉😊
