King's Homemade Ice Cream 201 2nd Street, Lewes, DE 19958

"Nice attentive summer staff. Not too pricey. When the restaurants start letting out it can be a good long wait. The water ice can be addictive."

"Checked online hours for this ice cream place and it said 9pm on a Saturday night. Drove 20 minutes and they were closing and it was a little after 8. (Lewes location) Closed sign was facing out. Chairs being put on table. Clearly closing. No other customers in sight, inside or outside (owner states in reply that they were busy and open until 10)."

"We come here often and generally have good a experience. Tonight was different when we discovered a locked door at 10:24pm with employees and people inside. This was confusing as the hours of the shop were painted on the door “11am-11pm.” We knocked on the window of the front door and the gaggle of teens behind the counter ‘working’ turned around to look at us square in eye, and then immediately directed their gaze back to their phones. We knocked again— at this point just curious as to what the store hours were so we could plan ahead for tomorrow. Same response—Or lack there of. We tried one more knock. Finally, one employee comes around the counter to open the door and graciously let us patron their business. She mentions they closed early tonight due to lack of customers. We found that interesting because a group of 6 people came in right after us and it is typically is busy around this time period in the summer. We quickly order, pay, and walk to leave as the employees’ boyfriends who were sitting at a table boo us out the door. The minute we get outside—- the scoop of ice cream falls off the cone. Tragic."

"Overall, ice cream was decent. Ordered a kids size for the smaller portion and they agreed to it but didn’t tell me until I went to pay and questioned the total charge that they did not offer a kid’s size portion and that they had charged me for a small regardless. Just wish they had been up front because I would’ve just tried a bite of my fiancé’s instead of getting my own serving. Will try the shop again, as I will not allow this to deter from future (hopefully great!) experiences!"
