This is a hidden gem that is an absolutely favorite beyond their amazing ice cream selections. Their burgers are some of the best in the area and everything is fresh, delicious and tasty. I would recommend eating at the restaurant where the staff and service are great - but if you do takeout or delivery - you won’t be disappointed. The Stubborn craft soda machine is a nice touch and family favorite. So if you’re in the area and want great food and some scoops - you must check it out.

The biggest challenge here is speed of service. The ice cream is always great but it takes forever, even if you order in advance. If you order ice cream online and don't want to wait I'd suggest coming like 15 min after your order window. They will put it in their little freezer so it won't melt. I've never arrived at my ready time and not had to wait at least 10 minutes which is super annoying.

Quaint family centered Cafe with classic ice cream flavors, including some topping options. My friend and I split a Banana Split and a West Coaster burger, which we made into a double and added portobello mushrooms too (great choice!). We did have to ask for the cheese, which seemed to be missing, but overall, the flavors and textures were well made. Note, my picture (usually much better) does not do the burger justice, we just got eager to eat it and the banana split came out first so I forgot to take the picture before we split it and started eating it 😅 The service staff is very young, so it seems like a great place to work as a first job. They were all friendly and helpful, even asked if I wanted to switch out any of the ice cream flavors, which I loved and thought was very thoughtful! The regular fries (they have a sweet potato option), were fresh, soft and crispy, but could use a bit more seasoning. Even as just an option to top them offer myself. I'd suggest garlic, paprika and sea salt...but even other dipping sauces could give this cafe a sweeter edge. Still very enjoyable though. Their soda machine is Subborn brand (not the ginger flavor, but the Pineapple Cream is sweet and soft, nice bubbles and was very cold, the small sample I sipped). The purple Lemonade we sampled was also good. Might be good as a mix. Maybe. I didn't notice any power outlets for work meetings or view the bathroom, so can't comment on that. The Banana Split was a nice change from my usual preference of a gelato in a cup or Waffle cone. In this case, ice cream, definitely NOT gelato, but still soft and creamy. My friend thought the flavors were less intense than we prefer and are used to, probably, because they offer toppings. They're still good, just could use more vanilla beans in that flavor and more cocao to the chocolate, fresh Strawberry chucks would up level the kick to the fresh strawberry. We enjoyed it, just would like to see a bit stronger flavors. The banana was soft, fresh and went very well together. The whipped cream is definitely light and fluffy, probably from a can. Not likely made in house, at least not thick like you can make on your own with heavy whipping cream and honey. Not bad, just something that could elevate the overall quality...especially for a $12.95 dessert! Which considering there are 3 decent sized scoops and toppings compares well to ordering a double and single. PROS Customer Service Decent quality Higher quality soda and Lemonade Ice Cream Cakes and other dessert options available (chocolate chip brownies, rice krispy treats, brownies, mud pie, etc.) Fair serving sizes Pros/Cons Average prices, we paid about $32 for one double burger with fries and a banana split to share between us. CONS Atmosphere is okay, not bad, not spectacular Flavors are great, but could be leveled up a touch Not sure if there are outlets, not ideal for longer visits Bit noisy from all the children (around 7:30pm on a Thursday night in March, 3.7.24)
