I have not been here since late May when they informed their customers that they will be shutting down. I am glad to hear that they are staying open and making some renovations, because it sure needed it. Don't get me wrong . . . I love the old ice cream parlor feel but you have to admit the ambiance could use some work and still not lose it's old fashion feel.
The ice cream is super yummy and I love their flavors; however, they only earn 3 stars from me due to 2 reasons, poor service and cookie. Cookie? Yes. One time we ordered the ice cream and cookie and it was such an unpleasant experience. The cookie they served us was so rock hard that even the ice cream melting on top did not soften this blow. It was suppose to be a soft baked cookie and serve your choice of ice cream on top. I know you are thinking well it's an ice cream shop and not a bakery; however, even if they use store bought cookies, you have to at least throw away the stale and tasteless ones. Secondly the service has been ridiculously slow the past 3 times I was there. There are always more than enough wait staff, but they seem to like standing behind the counter or in the back laughing with their co-workers. I am not sure why two scoops of ice cream should take 15 minutes.
All that being said, the ice cream is delicious and due to lack of any good ice cream shops in the area, I will come back to try other flavors.
