Description
The shop's interior offers a vibrant, colorful backdrop for those staying to eat. Beyond standard scoops, the menu includes sundaes, cookie sandwiches, and root beer floats made with a dry, minimally sweetened soda. The ice cream is served generously but tends to arrive quite firm; letting it soften for a minute opens up the flavors. Options go beyond the usual, featuring combinations like mango sticky rice, pumpkin cheesecake, and Italian hazelnut.
