Expect to spend $5-8 per person for ice cream. Parking is typically available nearby, and the shop has indoor seating with air conditioning,a blessing in Tallahassee's heat. Cash is often appreciated at local shops like this.

Open year-round, though ice cream always tastes better during Tallahassee's warm months (which is most of the year). Watch for special holiday flavors around major celebrations. Summer evenings are the busiest time as families seek cool treats.
