My kids and I loved stopping here for a much needed ice cream break! We were on a long road trip through Virginia and were delighted to see such a cool place out here. If you’re in the area, definitely give them a go.

Just a really bad experience. I’ve been here before and I’m definitely surprised.
My wife found a hair embedded at the bottom of her ice cream, and mine was freezer burnt tasting. Definitely stick with a popular flavor when you visit.
It was a little pricy and half of our visit was spent waiting on the staff to finish talking to friends.
I will definitely update the review if things improve next time.

This charming ice cream shop is undoubtedly one of the most unexpected gems in Independence, Virginia. We have been visiting Independence for 12 years, and this establishment emerged around 5 years ago. The food here is likely the finest this town could wish for; I have dined at numerous places in the area, and none seem to grasp the concept of seasoning like the chef here does. After conversing with him and getting acquainted with him and his daughter, I can confidently say that Independence, Virginia, is missing out. I hope that when they film their TV show, they share their story with the world. You can’t go wrong with their combined 30 years of culinary experience, and the daughter possesses an exceptional business acumen and a scientific understanding of ice cream.

I used to come here every Tuesday. The owner calls me “The Cheesecake guy” because I would get almost anything cheesecake wise in a milkshake. They are amazing in my opinion. Friendly staff. I love picking with Jessica and talking to the man in there, who I’m guessing is her father. The food could be a little better, but I’m not much of a hot dog person anyways. Overall it’s a five star from me. And sometimes I bring my nephew here. He always says or asks “can we go to frosty monkey?” Very good in my opinion!

The owner was so rude, he didn’t look me in the eye once, and when I left I said, “Thank you!” And he said hmmm. How you treat your customers reflects highly on you. Was going to have huge ice cream party there but now I feel unwelcome and just hurt. Have never experienced rudness like that in Independence and I’ve neen here for 41 years. It’s just so sad.

Easily my favorite place to eat or just enjoy ice cream in town. The staff is very friendly and genuinely cares about their products and customers alike. The only place I’ve been where my one complaint is they serve too much ice cream for the kids… The food is excellent and they are consistently making menu modifications, trying new things, and willing to listen to customer feedback on items. I love the addition of games and other family friendly type entertainment. If you’re just a tourist passing through town, you won’t feel like a stranger or be treated like an unwelcome outsider here. There’s no scary banjo music.
