Ice cream and lemonade was good. However, I asked the employee if I would be able to get a small empty bowl and I would purchase a bottle of water for my GF’s dog. The employee stated she couldn’t give me a small bowl and I would have to purchase just the bottle of water.
Bright, colorful, fun, and delicious! Full of whimsy and good energy. The ice cream was creamy and hit the spot
Great icecream
