Papaw's Kookies and Kream Ice Cream Parlor — Restaurant in Strafford

I'm only reviewing my impression of the owners and the conversation that we had for five stars, I haven't actually tasted the ice cream but I'm trusting my intuition that it will be top shelf and I'm sure that this fifth star is not going anywhere when I complete my review after bringing my niece, nephew & wife here in a few weekends. This place reminds me of ice cream parlors I frequented as a child.

I tried their ice cream pie, which was a pue crust made to fit their bowls and your choice of ice cream, topped with whipped cream, and if needed, cherry or strawberry syrup. The coconut castaway was really good in the pie crust! We took home Rich and Famous.

Thanks for a...

This place is sooo cute. An old married couple runs it. It's just like walking into a old timey ice cream shop. Good variety of flavors and choices on cones.
