Manager Troy Ramsey-Robinson said that there are many delectable flavors of ice cream to choose from with cute names to match.

​

"Our most popular flavor is Blueberry Cheesecake," she said. They call this flavor Chairman of the Board.

​

Another popular one is vanilla ice cream mixed with Oreo cookies, vanilla wafers, and swirls of luscious caramel. This one they dubbed Hello New World.

​

One flavor you won't see around much longer is black licorice.

​

"The kids like it," she said, "but it doesn't have mass appeal."

​

When Robinson was asked what made her store unique, she said that EVERYTHING is homemade.

​

This includes the base, both vanilla and chocolate, and the ingredients and toppings.

​

"For example, we make our peach puree, peach gelee, brownie bites, candied peanuts, toasted walnuts, and glazed pecans," she said.

​

Scoop prices vary. A single scoop costs $4.90, a double scoop costs $7.89, and a triple scoop costs $9.80. A pint of ice cream is $11.98. At some locations in the city, you can also get ice cream cakes and ice cream sandwiches.

​

The ice cream makers sound like elves getting ready for Christmas.

​

"We work in the basement and make 20-30 tubs of ice cream per day," she said.

​

"It's all about technique," she added.

​

Robinson said the flow of customers is non-stop during the summer.

​

"The kids love it," she added.

"A lot of the parents don't eat Häagen-Dazs anymore. They would rather come here!"
