It's tough to describe this place as a mom and pop shop, though they do have that feel. I think it's because it is more of a counter, and you really have to jam yourself into the storefront just to get at the ice cream. I'm not sure what they have behind the counter, but whatever it is, it's big. I imagine that it's just a monster cooler filled with row upon row of ice cream.
In the coolers themselves, the flavors are relatively standard, and the staff is friendly. Cross the small parking lot - if you dare - and there are a couple of picnic tables with umbrellas where you can sit and soak up the fumes of the lot or the busy crossroads at Lawyers and 51.
Unless you are just jonesing for a monster treat, make sure you ask for a small, because even their regular is pretty huge - and has a decent price tag associated with it.
