Description
Located at 96th & Madison, this Carnegie Hill spot offers flavor tastings before you commit to a scoop, float, or cookie sandwich. While there is seating available, popular options like Sicilian Pistachio can sell out early. The shop's friendly counter service attracts steady lines; during busy stretches, getting a scoop is quick, but you may need to wait out the rush for complex orders like milkshakes, which staff sometimes delay to keep the main queue moving.
