Every time I have seen her she goes out of her way to make sure you are getting exactly what you ordered! You really can’t get better than this place!"

"Words cannot describe how please I was. I went back to back days while I was down in Jersey Shore. Best ice cream in the area. I got a milkshake, which was very good, but the bubble waffle is a must. The people working there were also very friendly and helpful when selecting the wide variety of flavors. Definitely will be revisiting as soon as I can."
