What’s better than a cup of ice cream on a hot summer day? This shop serves Blue Bell ice cream along with a variety of sweets. The scoop was quite generous, and the milkshake was thick and satisfying. I enjoyed a quick stop here after brunch at a nearby restaurant. The cool air-conditioning was a welcome relief, and the service was pleasant.
