Came here after a fine meal at Hana
(it's right across the street) since one
member of our party was not keen on Japanese
desserts that night. I've been to Mary Coyle's
before - light years ago but it was in a
different location if I'm not mistaken.
The entrance, oddly enough, was in the back.
There was an antique car parked in the parking
lot so that sort of set the mood for the time
tunnel we were about to set foot through when
we opened the door to Mary Coyle's. The place
was packed. Luckily one group had just got up
to leave so we had a booth in the corner that
our very chipper waitress directed us to.
Clientele seemed like they could have all been
Mayberry residents which added to that time warp
effect.
Menu is decent - you can come here for a
full meal and not just ice cream. We all went
for individual ice cream bowls. Something for
everyone - they even have sugar free flavors
(vanilla and amaretto). Service was very good.
The whole ice cream shoppe atmosphere has gone
the way of drive-ins so if nothing else, just
to experience this in 2012 was a nice treat.
