Pufferbelly Ice Cream — Restaurant in Fort Wayne

Not only is the ice cream here the absolute best in the city, the owner is the absolute definition of small business owner. Even though we were the only ones in there at the time, we felt as though we would have had his undivided attention if there were more people there.
