Decades great food, delicious ice cream and a commitment to service has earned the love and support of the local community.

Outside there are two refrigerator units and one dry storage unit for convenient off hour vendor deliveries. FF&E includes tables and chairs, a Stoelting ice cream machine (customers love the proprietary ice cream recipe!), sandwich bay, slushie machine and a bread oven that is used to make the tradmark fresh bread. The parking lot has been resurfaced and features 23 parking spaces with 6 for drive thru waiting. The current owner has elected to operate seasonally mid March though mid November which provides an opportunity to increase sales by being open year round.
