Weekday afternoons (2-4pm) are ideal for avoiding crowds. Summer evenings and weekends get very busy. Spring and fall offer comfortable temperatures for enjoying cones outside without the peak summer rush.

Expect to spend around $6-8 per person for a cup or cone. Parking is available in the rear lot. The shop is small with limited indoor seating, but there's outdoor bench seating along York Road when weather permits.

Peak season runs May through September with the longest lines on hot summer evenings. Fall brings special flavors like apple cider and pumpkin. Winter months are quieter but feature cozy flavors like hot chocolate ice cream. Check hours during winter as they may be reduced.
