Cave City Coffee & Creamery — Restaurant in Cave City

This place was an unexpected and delightful find! After stopping for gas we headed for a well-known fast food restaurant down the street to get a well-known soft serve vanilla cone. Then, there was Cave City Coffee and Creamery, a local shop that I hoped would have my favorite ice cream treat- an Affagato! - which requires both coffee and ice cream. And, sure enough, they did. And it was heavenly. And really reasonable prices! There were three other families in the shoppe when I walked in, ordering all varieties of ice cream treats including a magnificent looking banana split. I savored every bite of my hard-to-find Affagato sitting at one of the comfy, cool tables. The two women working behind the counter could not have been more friendly and accommodating to everyone on spite of it being very busy. And the service was really fast. I’d go everyday if...

Went into town looking for dinner and found this nice little place instead! I had a banana split and was really happy with it. The ice cream has good flavor and the treat was well-made. They make their banana splits with chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla ice cream, so you get a little sample of a few different flavors. I've had many banana splits which pair the ice creams and toppings in odd ways - I'm not a big fan of the pineapple/chocolate combination - so I was glad to see this shop (or, at least, this employee) pair chocolate with chocolate topping, strawberry with strawberry topping, and vanilla with pineapple topping.

It also seemed like the banana split was quite large - in the regular boat, but taller than I normally see. I thought the price was reasonable, especially considering...

Went in 10 minutes before they closed on a Friday evening at 8pm to grab a quick cone. Around 2 minutes after we sat down the employee who served us told us they were closing the inside in 3 minutes and we "were welcome to sit outside" in the 40 degree evening wind. Imagine if all restaurants operated like that -_-

The ice cream itself was somewhat disappointing, the cookie dough extreme was a little hard for fresh ice cream and did not include very many chunks of cookie dough. For the price, you'd be better off just going to a supermarket and getting a pint of Ben and Jerry's for what they charge.

The strawberry cheesecake also wasn't anything special. I guess this is the top selection for the area, but the fact that this place has 4.9 stars is...
