I typically won’t do under 3 star reviews because I don’t want to hurt a small business but I really feel like the owner needs to hear this. I had mediocre experience (not due to staff) but due to understaffing and poor/ cheap product.

The small is a generous portion, and the italian ice is great quality. The orangeade was good, too. The prices were reasonable for the portions. Overall, we had a nice time here, but I would love to try other flavors if they...
