This cute little spot is so good. Ice cream is always on point and so many toppings to choose from. Staff are quick and friendly. There’s a cute bench Infront of the shop to enjoy your ice cream.

I was set on getting the traditional rainbow sprinkles, but they have so much more than the truck, including strawberry shortcake crumbles! It looks great inside but they can use a bench outside or maybe a couple small tables. My friend also noticed a bullet hole in the glass. Be mindful of parking. It’s in a small strip mall and not super safe to get into and out of

What’s not to like about Mr. Softee? This is childhood nostalgia in a cup (or cone) but with a storefront that stays open late enough to fuel your late night cravings. The Choco Taco? Ohhh … MASSIVE, peanut-crusted, and worth every single bite. If you don’t order one, we can’t be friends. They’ve got all sorts of specialty options, but why fix what isn’t broken? Line looks scary sometimes but it moves quick don’t worry. This place isn’t trying to be bougie gelato or artisanal rolled ice cream it’s Mr. Softee. Classic, messy, and exactly what your inner kid signed is looking for

We visited the store in late December and only one employee was working. It woud have been nice to have the truck music playing even softly as a way to improve the ambiance. They have toy truvks, tee shirts for purchase and they have both hard and soft ice cream. The store was clean but too small to have seating. There is a row of wall counters with napkin dispensers , we would have given it full stars but lack of seating and space did not warrant it. Ice cream was pretty good and much like Carvels. Worth a visit though as the only store we are aware of.

This spot is always a hit! The store was extremely busy when we visited, but the staff handled it really well. Even while being overwhelmed, they were helpful, friendly, and kept things moving. The servings are very large and definitely worth the price, you won’t leave hungry! On top of that, the atmosphere is really great and makes it a fun place to stop for a treat. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving ice cream.

My wife convinced me to get it I knew was a bad idea. I ordered the ice cream sandwich. Six scoops of ice cream or four big scoops of ice cream in between two waffles. After you choose your ice cream, they dip it into one of three sauces a chocolate sauce, a cherry sauce or a blue raspberry sauce and then they dip it in sprinkles. It is definitely big enough to share between two or more people in my opinion and I wish I didn’t eat all six scoops of ice cream and two waffles but I did because I paid $10 for an ice cream burger. I’ll only get it again if I share, but I definitely did not regret my decision. It’s super unique and really fun experience to have. Our group left so full as we all chowed down on our ice cream burgers.
