Cute little "catch all" ice cream and snack shop in Aspinwall. My wife and I stopped on a Sunday after dinner at nearby Tepache, and got some ice cream on a warmer than expected October evening.

The apple dumpling was good. The apple was soft. The pastry has a really good texture to it, but the sauce with the apple dumpling has too much nutmeg in it for me. The cinnamon was a bit over powdered. Otherwise it was...
