Yummy hand-scooped ice creams, specialty cupcakes and other sweets, perfect for an afternoon or evening treat! They also offer choices for those with dietary restrictions including gluten and dairy-free options. In addition to their dessert options, they offer a selection of toys and gifts, and fun decor. Bob's favorite is the hot fudge brownie sundae with mocha chip ice cream!
