Best Time to Visit

Weekday afternoons (2-5pm) before the dinner rush offer the shortest lines. Summer evenings get busy, so arrive right when they open if visiting on weekends. Fall is particularly special for seasonal pumpkin and apple flavors.

What to Know

Very budget-friendly at just $ price range - expect to spend $5-8 per person for a generous serving. Parking lot can fill up quickly during peak times, but there's usually overflow street parking available nearby.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round, though hours may be reduced in winter months. Summer brings peak crowds and the best flavor variety. Fall features seasonal pumpkin and apple flavors. Check their schedule around major holidays as hours may vary.
