Weekday afternoons (2-5 PM) offer the best combination of fresh custard and manageable crowds. Avoid Friday and Saturday evenings when wait times can exceed 20 minutes. Summer evenings draw the biggest crowds, so mid-afternoon is ideal for a quick visit.

Expect to spend $5-8 per person for a generous treat. The shop has outdoor seating but limited indoor space, so dress appropriately for weather. Located in a busy shopping area with ample parking.

Open year-round with extended hours during summer months. Fall brings pumpkin and apple-themed flavors, while winter features peppermint and holiday specials. Spring and summer are peak seasons with the longest waits but also the most festive atmosphere.
