  2. 2.Set expectations before entering about cup size or price limits to avoid checkout surprises, as toppings add up quickly
  3. 3.Visit on weekday afternoons (2-4pm) to avoid after-dinner rush crowds and get more one-on-one attention from staff
  4. 4.Bring wet wipes,with enthusiastic kids and sticky toppings, cleanup is inevitable
  5. 5.Ask about their flavor schedule if your child has a favorite; staff are friendly and often know what's coming next week

Best Time to Visit

Weekday afternoons between 2-5pm offer the best experience with smaller crowds and a relaxed pace. Avoid Friday and Saturday evenings when families pack in for post-dinner treats. Summer months are busiest, so consider visiting on cooler days when lines are shorter.

What to Know

Pricing is by weight, so parents should supervise younger children to manage portion sizes. The shop is stroller-accessible and located on a main street with metered street parking available nearby.

Seasonal Notes

Most popular during hot summer months, but indoor seating makes it a year-round destination. Great for birthday celebration stops or rewarding good behavior after school during any season.
