Cookies & Cream — Restaurant in Town of Malta

A group of us stopped here for the first time last night and absolutely loved it! First, we went into the attached store, Finishing Touches to browse. So many neat decorative items and lots of great gift ideas. They also sell delicious fudge (we may have bought a pound to take home) and have a coffee shop inside as well. Next up, the grounds. Lots of neat touches. 2 bathrooms outside in little "cottages" - not port a potties - with sinks to wash up after too. A couple of covered tent areas with seating to enjoy your ice cream. Plus a basketball court and I heard they be showing movies outside soon! Last, but not least, the ice cream. The hubby and I split a brownie sundae. Sooo good! Homemade, decent sized, and full of chocolate goodness! (No pic, as we ate too fast, but trust me on this.) So many options yo choose from, it took me forever to decide. I highly recommend stopping here - you...

I should have listened to the reviews, but the place is so close to home I decided to try it. The line was quite long on a Sunday evening at 8, which kind of surprised me. They did follow social distancing by having black dots to stand on that were spaced out. The service was very slow. It took my about 25 minutes to place my order and there were about 8 groups in front of me. Their soft serve machine broke just as I was about to order so I had to order hard ice cream. The portion was extremely tiny. I ordered a small and it was 2 small scoops. Much smaller than other ice cream parlor portions. The ice cream was good (Perry’s ice cream) but Stewart’s up the road is just as good if not better at a much better price. There are also better ice cream places around like Dairy Haus in Saratoga. The place does look very cute on the outside and has some nice outdoor seating but it was too...

honestly pretty disappointed! yes, it's pretty busy and we had 7 ppl in our party, so I fully expected to either wait a long time to to have a mistake or two, but half of our order plus many others before us had at least one issue per person. it was insane. staff is too focused on trying to rush everything out but they'd save a lot of time if they just actually gave people what they ordered instead of having to "remake" Sundaes.

one person in my party had nuts on their sundae which they specifically asked to have removed (aka, asked for no nuts and got nuts) when they asked for it to be remade they just scraped off most of the nuts and put new whipped cream on top. still had nuts in it btw.

idk, don't recommend unfortunately. pretty disaapointed but since it was busy I'll try to give benefit of the doubt and give two stars instead of one like I would...
