My two year old wanted to try a flavor and when we asked to try a particular flavor, we were told they didnt allow tastings. We ended up wasting an entire order of ice cream. This place has poor customer service. The owners response to a tasting was that they are not allowed because he doesnt want to waste spoons. The ice cream was nothing special. It had the same taste to ice cream from the frozen section of a grocery store and triple the price. This guy is an immature video gamer with no business or customer sense.

I was strolling down Main Street when I found this little sliver of an ice cream shop. The wrap around corner counter that opens completely to the outside was what caught my eye. They have many traditional flavors and a couple more unique options. I tried the Lavender Honey and Mexican Chocolate. Both were delicious, but Im definitely going back for the Lavender. You can also try an ice cream flight to sample more flavors. Also for fun, while sitting at the counter, you can play old school video games.

They were not polite. I asked to try some flavors, as I did not want to pay over $10 bucks for a sundae without trying the flavors I would eat. The guy serving ice cream was super rude and said if you want to try a bunch of flavors you should order a tasting flight and not have tastes as your main meal... ended up literally shared 3 flavor tastes between two of us, equaling 1.5 tastes per person. This is not a way to acquire customers.

NEW: Just opened in March 2017. I liked the chocolate better than the vanilla cookie dough. The chocolate had a good choc flavor. The cookie dough wasnt flavorful enough for me. Love the decor and the side opening window along with the video games on the wall outside the window. Id also recommend that they let people taste flavors. Well at least for kids they should allow them to try a flavor.

Cool atmosphere and theme for sure, however they are wrongfully assuming they can charge premium prices on what is average ice cream imo due to their location and absence of direct competition. I dare not even ask to try a flavor before buying (apparent vibe) and each topping is $0.75. If interested check this place out before you cant, I give them one summer if they dont wise up :/

We got the Chocolate Covered Strawberry ice cream, and it was great! My girlfriend tried to master Donkey Kong, to no avail. Its a great place to go in the summer, since theres basically an entire open wall on the side. Ill definitely go again!

Love this place! They are helpful and nice. Just wish the hours were later on Sundays! Every Sunday I want to go there, but they are closed after 5 so instead I sit at home alone with my three cats and eat vegetables.

Had a sundae there after dinner - the Mexican Chocolate is pretty good. Staff were friendly and the decor is neat. Wish they had more seating though and Id add another waste bin closer to the door.

Cute place with delicious ice cream. It is disappointing that they dont allow you to sample the ice cream before purchasing. Try the Lavendar Honey and the Mexican Chocolate.

Good ice cream and I like the video game projector idea. Hopefully they mix things up with that in the future, theres a ton of potential.

Good ice cream and awesome atmosphere, though the menu items are probably pricier than they should be.
