Ice cream is very good, and my kids LOVE it. The staff is always very kind and patient with my kids. Adults who don't like this place should probably buy a pint at the grocery store and go home and eat alone- this isn't the place for them. A gripe I have is the television is always on some violent crime-laden show that is completely inappropriate for anybody to watch while out in public.

And the ice cream was wonderfully dense and full of flavor. There are tons of choices, so we will definitely be back. (And the prices are great!) All in all, it was a great capstone to our summer quest to eat at every ice cream shop...
