What stands out

Order a loaded mason jar milkshake; cotton candy and other candy-topped versions are especially popular, and the espresso affogato has its fans too. Visitors like the friendly staff and the photo-ready interior. Experiences are mixed on value, and one visitor found the fruit smoothies more slushy than fresh, so stick with the shakes and scoops.
