Small building, but has an extensive range of flavors of soft serve ice cream (30), a good selection of scoop flavors, and fun specialties.
I tried the Elvis Presley, and I highly recommend it!
We went through drive through and service was both prompt and friendly. They also offered options for different types of cones, dishes, sundaes, or blended ice cream.

Yummy and they have a drive thru which is high on my list of important things cuz I don’t wanna get outta my car. Ha. The have Dole Whips which are my favorite but I do wish I could take half a star off because they have inconsistent flavor choices and I really only like the pineapple and strawberry. Ice cream and sundaes are pretty great. They don’t have any sugar free or low sugar options at all, which is pretty common so I wouldn’t take stars off for that. But I do have several family members with blood sugar issues and there’s nothing they could get here.
Drive thru or walk up ordering with seating outside, no inside service or lobby area for sitting inside.
Pic is Peanut Butter Heart Attack and a cherry dope whip upside down in a cup (it was hot today.) The sundae is delicious. The cherry dole whip is a little bit mediocre but still tasty.

Very cute little place that give way more than a little punch!!! The sizes are huge and very well for the price! They will come to your car and take your order or you can walk up and order then choose to sit at one of their outside tables! They have so many flavors!!!! I would absolutely suggest the Elvis Presley!!!! Why am I JUST knowing about this??? Where has this been my whole life!!!!!??? It is AMAZING!!! The people there are very nice! They can get pretty busy and you may have a little wait but it is sooooo worth it!!!! Bad thing is I now have to fight myself from going there every day!!!

This place has been here a while now and I never bothered to stop and check it out until I saw someone talking about how good they are on Facebook tonight. So glad I saw that random persons post cause they really are good! What got me there was their insane flavor list! I REALLY wanted Tutti Frutti but sadly wasn’t a local option listed. I ended up getting cotton candy, oldest got cremè de mint, youngest got blue sky and everyone’s happy! Love the ice cream nacho Idea think I’ll try it next time. Their lobby wasn’t open but if you drive around back there’s a door bell you can ring and they come out to take your order.
For 2 waffle cones with 1 scoop of soft serve and 1 cup with a scoop of dipped cost apx $18
Place looked clean inside and wait wasn’t long but got there around 8:30 pm too.

I want to give this place a five star review so bad because it truly is a diamond in the rough. Delicious flavors and easy to get to. The reason why it’s four stars is because the service is the slowest I have been witness to. I am thinking they are purposely taking it slow to show there is a line, but it’s getting a bit insane. Waited 35 minutes on Saturday with 4 cars ahead of us. We saw the average order was 1-2 items. Happy to change this to a five star once the speed changes.

This place is so unorganized. We ordered & paid for the ice cream cones and after ten minutes of waiting, we were told that the swirl was unavailable. So, instead of the swirl, we opted for a vanilla cone. It took another five minutes. Then the KI Blue that I waited an additional ten plus minutes for was also decided to be unavailable. I don’t understand how they can remain in business if this is a typical experience. I saw at least 5 girls working, then at least three more people showed up and I still couldn’t get my ice cream.
Apparently you’re supposed to stand in the driveway to order and wait for your order. Seems like an accident just waiting to happen if you have children with you.
This business is need of someone to actually manage it. I would think that it has the potential to be a great place to go if there was maybe more structure and not a bunch of people just hanging out inside.
