| - I heard this place was on its way out, so we decided to stop by today and check it out. Is there a better mid afternoon snack than ice cream anyways? If there is something better, please let me know :-).
I read their menu online the other day and decided what I wanted already before I even got there. My wife and I walked in and were greeted by a nice lady, took a seat, and she brought out some glasses of ice water. Nice touch! This place SCREAMS old school ice cream parlor. Pink and white walls, old school booths and chairs...there arent places like this left anymore and thats a damn shame.
I got a "Suicide". Its 3 scoops of ice cream topped with hot fudge, caramel topping, whipped cream a cherry and some amazing toasted nuts....pecans, almonds and cashews. This thing came in a huge glass. It was super tasty. The only thing wrong with it was that near the bottom, some of the ice cream had chunks/flakes of actual ice in it. Maybe that flavor was old and stale? Other than that, the flavors were great and those toasted nuts made the whole thing! Big Lebowski quote...."The rug really tied the room together". Well on this sundae, the nuts really tied the ice cream together. They were absolutely the greatest nuts I have ever had on an ice cream sundae. My wife got a brownie sundae with pecan/toffee ice cream and hers was topped with the toasted pecans. I had a couple of bites of hers and it was delicious too.
Total damage after tip was $21 bucks. A tad steep for some afternoon ice cream, but it was delicious and the memory of sitting down in the cool, old school shop was priceless. Im glad I got here before it closes its doors for good.
