Great service, fine ice cream and candies for all in a very cute town and walking location.

On 9/2/2025 Monica S. had this to say:
Cute little ice cream and candy shop in Occoquan. Free parking in the neighborhood. The workers were kind and let us try some samples. I don't think you could go wrong because the pistachio almond was lovely, my friend's berry cobbler was delicious, and my other friend's chosen flavor was great too (I forgot what it was but some sort of thing with chocolate). There is no indoor seating, but a handful of seats outside on their porch. I would definitely come by if craving ice cream in the area- sad I didn't discover until now!

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.
