Edit: As of March 2026, I have to update my review. While the soft serve is decent, the hand-scooped isn't quite as good as it used to be. Also, the portions are rather small for what was described as a "large". Looks nothing like the picture below anymore.

Super clean and super friendly staff. Our ice cream treats were out of sight.
