| - Places like this are the reason I love yelp.
So you go into this little bitty strip-mall store across from a Del Taco and a Walmart plaza and are greeted with charming yet sparse decor. You're also verbally greeted (or at least my family was) by the proprietor and spouse who were both extremely helpful (and charming).
An illiterate person could successfully order here, and yet it's a little overwhelming. There's cookies on display on a rack above the counter and ice cream in the standard refrigerated ice-cream display. It should be simple, but everything looks good. I had similar problems at Mad Hatter Cupcakes, which I also recommend. But to be sure, these are the best kind of problems. My wife, child, and I all ordered combos which don't actually make sense (black cherry and chocolate chip? why not?) and got a snazzy blue soda I'd never heard of before. Excellent stuff.
Cookies were excellent. We didn't ask for fresh, but they certainly tasted fresh. The Thrifty(?) Ice cream was superb. I'd not heard the hype, but I know great ice cream and this was good stuff. The stunner was that those ice cream sandys were 3 bones apiece. It felt too inexpensive: I want this place around for a while. Place was hopping
while we were in on a Sunday late-afternoon though.
They have a sizable and largely-empty beverage cooler with a variety of milk on hand. This is brilliant, too many sugary-starch castles have limited milk options (I'm looking at you Krispy-Kreme) but it'd be nice to see that filled with some of the amazing sodas from across the street at Rocket-Fizz, or some other beverage delights. Minor details.
Go, go, and go again: why hasn't anyone thought of this before?
