Country Style has been around the Quad Cities for a while, but I only remember discovering it in the last 10 years or so. I remember visiting their ice cream stand in Moline after a family event of some kind years ago. I remember really liking their soft serve. I had a craving for some sort of soft serve tonight, which provided the perfect opportunity to try the Country Style location on Utica Ridge Road in Davenport.
The design of this location, both inside and out, definitely speaks to a "country" aesthetic. Immediately outside the entrance there's a picnic table and one of those painted signs you can put your face through to have your picture taken. The interior has a kind of rough country aesthetic to it, as well. The floors consist of a light wood laminate throughout. Several rough wood doors/panels hang along the walls, while the ceiling consists of a drop ceiling with florescent fixtures and diffusers spaced throughout. The walls are a light teal paint, except where covered by subway tile on the backsplash of the prep area. It's simple and rustic - a nice design for a simple ice cream shop.
I opted for a twist cone and water, which were both provided quickly. The twist cone tasted exactly as I remembered - firm texture, but smooth and full of both chocolate and vanilla flavor. I could get this everyday - if it weren't still cold out right now perhaps.
I'm a little sad Country Style is closing this location, but really that sad since they're opening up another location in Bettendorf close to Crawford Brew Works. This is closer to my current residence, so it will provide easier access to their fine product. I look forward to more ice cream cones in the future. Thanks,...
   Read moreI come here a lot, I feel good every time, but this time I feel that the staff is not welcome at all (unlike yesterday's staff, the service is very good) they just talking, don't say hello, no other customers. I was waiting for order, not too long. But I felt they just want to talk with the other girlsâŠWhen I gave her money, gave me some change back like sheâs not willing, the coin falls, it's good to sayâsorryâ⊠Maybe Theyâre very tired..if busy, I understand, but itâs not in that time...
   Read moreGood ice cream but not the best service. I walk in 7 mins before close. No one else is there and they told me that I can only order a cone since itâs so close to close. A shake only takes a minute to make so it doesnât really make any sense. Iâm not able to have a cone anyways due to my gluten allergy, therefore I walked out empty handed. I told her I had an allergy but she did not mention giving me other options. Very...
