Reviews
"Ice cream shop with a classic/old school vibe. They had Tillamook ice cream which was delicious. Additionally there is a self playing piano in there which is really cool and fun to see."
"Cute ice cream shop. The staff was too busy chatting with one another to greet us and when they did finally take our order there was some confusion on whose job was to do what. 4 stars because my sundae was good, reasonably priced and atmosphere was nice. It was a little cluttered on the stairwell."
"We stopped here after wine tasting to treat our grandboy for being so patient. He loved the book shelf and collection of toys. Fantastic ice cream selection, including dairy free options. The inside is cozy with plenty of seating. We had a lovely time eating ice cream and reading to him."
