The ice cream was great, but it was very, very difficult to find this place. The first thing they need to do is to make a larger, more prominent, brighter signage on the front or the side of the building where the store is. The second thing that needs to be done is something about the parking situation. You have to be kind of creative to find a spot without having to pay for parkingThe third thing is that the place is too small. When we arrived, there was only one customer in front of us. No problem but in about 5 minutes after that, about seven or eight other people came in and there was not enough room for everyone to stand within the store. One or two people had to stand outside on the porch. Third thing: they have a wonderful array of ice cream flavors but there was an extensive list of the flavors that they did not have available. Broaden their array of sugar-free ice cream even if they only had one or two additional flavors that would be nice. Next, they also need much brighter lighting inside the store and staff who know how to handle ice cream. There was one lady that did not seem to know how to get the ice cream to slide off of the ice cream scooper. Place more seating outside adjacent to the store. They have a bench and to Adirondack chairs but they need more. I think the store has a bright future but some remediations need to take place so it can compete with the other ice cream store next to the...
Read moreUnassuming store from with poor signage, on a side street with some street parking as well as free in the lot. See pictures. First off, I will address the ice cream. And to give you my background, I also make my own ice cream from scratch using only basic ingredients. I purchased two flavors, blueberry cheesecake and Cappuccino crunch. If you are wondering about costs, it’s expensive, but too taste it is to understand why it’s expensive. You’re not eating Hagen Das, you are eating something even better. Now, I’m by no means able to purchase $4+ for a scoop of ice cream on my budget, but I’ve heard about this place and decided, what the heck, I have splurged before, and so this month, I’ll do it again. Creamy taste, no freezer burn, no ice crystals, just plain great tasting ice cream. I understand the cost associated with making ice cream as homemade, was costing me ~$6/pint. Go here for the ice cream and don’t be put-off by the decor. This place badly needs a makeover, as inside, is not very pleasant to look at and is just rundown. Judge this place based on the ice cream and you’ll be a...
Read moreMy husband and I had a fantastic experience at Dreams. The proprietors are probably the most welcoming and friendly people we've ever met. And their ice cream (especially the vegan flavors) are so delicious and creamy. It's without a doubt the best vegan ice cream I've ever had and, being lactose intolerant, I've sampled plenty in my day. I had vanilla and chocolate peanut butter. I couldn't tell the difference from dairy ice cream. Surprisingly it was not overly sweet and had no aftertaste like the majority of vegan ice creams I've had. My husband had the rum raisin and chocolatefudge brownie. It was so good he considered going back for another double scoop cup. If you live in the area or happen to be going to the Keswick, bypass the place next to the theater and head over to Dreams. You won't be disappointed. We'll probably do a road trip from Bristol in a few week. Yes,...
