Description
This location of the circa-1934 chain operates mainly for take-out. Beyond the standard cups, sundaes are built with liberal helpings of toppings like brownies, and the classic cakes feature the brand's signature crunchies. For those seeking a taste of nostalgia, the flavor profile closely mirrors the soft-serve of classic Mr. Softee ice cream trucks, offered here at a lower price point than at Cold Stone. The shop is kept clean and organized, run by a polite, mostly teenage staff.
