I visited the Hamlin Abbott, walking there with my two grandchildren and my 15 year old small dog. First i was greeted with a rather unfriendly young lady who advised me that dogs were not allowed unless they were service dogs.

I hope she has better days... I know a class of Third graders can be stressful but its not that serious to be so unwelcoming...I ended up cleaning the tables so she...
Read moreTheir "pup cups" are just a tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream..they said they didn't have any dog treats so they put a little dollop of whipped cream on top. For the same $2, I can get 1 at The Creamery and it comes with the treat AND peanut butter. The only reason we didn't go there was because The Creamery is only open Thurs.-sun. for some reason. Abbott's is obviously a "classic" for most people but their sizes are also super tiny compared to any other ice...
