Ever dream about putting delicious ice cream in your donuts? If you have and were too lazy to do it yourself, this place is the answer to your dreamssss (yes, dreams do come true!) This place has darn good ice cream and their flavors are definitely unique. I completely fell in love with their cake batter because it actually had chunks of cake inside.. so good. They also had earl grey, thai tea, and so much more. Their donut choices were more limited, you can choose from apple fritter, glazed, or plain. I would like to warn you that the apple fritter is GIGANTIC and also a sugar overload with the ice cream. I got the glazed with cake batter and added oreo to it. It was a heavenly combo for like 5 bites before I went into a sugar coma. It was a lot of sugar for me and for someone that doesnt really do sweets, a whole donut is just too much. I recommend sharing if youre like me. The whole thing was about $5 and its a little steep but thats youre paying for the convenience of it and the quality ice cream/donut. Worth trying once and fulfills both the breakfast and dessert craving ;)

Do you come to a point where in life your destiny comes into a fork where you have to choose doughnut or ice cream? Do you feel like the weight is unbearable? Well get those sad feelings and throw them into the recycle bin to use on a later date. The parlor ice cream puffs combines the best desserts into one. You are given the choice between a multi tude of toppings and ice cream to be stuffed into a doughnut. If you cant decide, then there are several combinations ready to order on their menu. I ordered the vanilla with fruity pebbles stuffed into the doughnut. It is about $2 per scoop. The ice cream doughnut was really good except it will probably get your hands dirty because there is so much ice cream to go around and that means itll go around your fingers. It;s a really small store so you probably wont get a seat inside but there are plenty of seats outside for you to enjoy your dessert!

Nothing fancy, but a very unique neighborhood ice cream spot that is worth a bit of a drive. Their claim to fame is unique craft ice cream with toppings placed between the halves of a sliced doughnut. I enjoyed their cookie batter ice cream with bits of waffle cone for topping in the midst of a warm apple fritter with powdered sugar on top. Other members of the family tried other combinations and everyone walked away happy and satisfied. About the only common critique in our household was that it would have been better with a bit more ice cream or a bit less doughnut. The ratio was not perfection for us, but definitely close enough for us to highly recommend to others and to plan to go back again and again. Definitely not your average neighborhood ice cream spot! Enjoy!!!

Really not impressed. Ive gone to similar places before and enjoyed them far more. Counter was small and crowded. While waiting for the woman ahead of me to finish choosing her toppings, the person helping me kept pressuring me to decide. I would have been happy to but the list was hidden behind the woman still being helped. I felt very rushed and was unimpressed with the final product. My boyfriends cone cracked with barely a touch. Cheap products, rude staff, and crowded space. Save your money and buy ice cream to make for yourself at home.

One of the few places where you can get an donut filled with ice cream... with your choice of a glazed or unglazed donut, about 12 varieties of unique ice cream flavors, unlimited toppings for 50 cents, what more can you ask for? The spot is a little small and can get crammed real quick, but they do have a little bit of outdoor seating available. They also sell scoops of ice cream on a cone and milkshakes for those people that would like something more traditional.

YES YES YES! Gourmet Ice Cream in unusual flavors? Yes! Fresh Donuts? Yes! Crazy Mix Ins? Yes! Thats what I am talking about, I had this shake/donut thing that was out of this world, ice cream, a donut, waffle cone chunks, cocoa krispies, whipped cream, caramel. And there were event more options. Crazy town! Soo good. But if you cant handle crazy sweet, it may not be your jam, but if you have a sweet tooth and are in the area, give it shot!

Their icecream puff is ok, but I go there on Tuesdays for the ice cream special. (2$ a scoop) I have really enjoyed all the flavors I have tried. The employees are friendly & fast. I dont think they have a bathroom, the shop is tiny. They have a few small tables & chairs outside on the patio/sidewalk area. The parking there is horrible, so just be warned, especially on Tuesdays.

yum yum! I was pleasantly surprised by how fluffy the donut is (better than some donut places I know) and the salted caramel ice cream was very tasty. Would definitely stop by if in the area to try out some of the other unique ice cream flavors! My only complaint is that the powdered sugar on the donut kinda gets everywhere/is messy, but I guess its aesthetically pleasing?

This place is easy to miss if youre looking for it from the road, so just look for either Temple or that sketchy looking liquor store, and its somewhere between them in that complex. The best ice cream is Earl Grey, hands down. I have personally grown out of having the ice cream in a puff format (inside a slightly toasted doughnut), but its worth a try for first timers

This place is a lot of fun. The donuts are pretty good. The think the real trick is getting a good amount of toppings because the deep fryer is going to get them stuck inside. Also steer clear of with a nice car and kids. Went with two other adults and we made a mess. The mess children and one of these things could create is the stuff of nightmares.

Some amazing original flavors of ice cream & scrumptious treats. You can get a single scoop of ice cream, ice cream puffs ( a warm donut sandwiched around your choice of ice cream & toppings of your choosing) or milkshakes like The Works. Your choice of milkshake topped a nutella filled donut & your choice of toppings. This is a adult ice cream spot.

Ice cream and donuts? How can this not be good? Weve tried a few flavors, and theyre always delicious. We usually get non-glazed puffs with half and half Earl Grey and Thai Tease or the Green Machine. They let you sample the flavors so you can always try whatever you want before you make your decision!

Not your normal ice cream flavors and all served in between a glazed or non-glazed donut with your choice of toppings. The only downside is that place is small, so you may not be able to sit and enjoy your desert before it melts. In additon, parking lot is small, so spaces are limited.

Amazing love this place warm donuts with Inc cream in the middle they are friendly and fast seems to be busy but the wait hasnt been very long maybe a few minutes. I recommend you try this at least once. I will be returning again. I love to take friends here if they havent been.
