This busy ice cream spot is fun for the whole family. There is a nice variety of flavors and toppings in several different sizes. Included in this large store are toys, games, cards, etc. Kids have a wonderful time trying out the various toys. There is also a nice selection of games and puzzles for adults. This is definitely the... More

This place is just too much fun. Creative and old-time ice creams and you can watch them make their candy delights. Great things to shop for - from unusual puzzles, super toys and one-of-a-kind puppets to games you can't find anywhere else. I'd go just for the happy atmosphere, but all the other stuff too? Wonderful!

This little gem is a combination of an old timey ice cream parlor with utterly delectable sundaes, shakes, malts, and lots of other "cool" concoctions; a candy shop where you can watch the master candy maker and his apprentices make tasty candy canes, lollipops, and other unique candy creations (such as a gigantic candy cane for an elephant and large...

The Menu was giant, maybe to big, but filled with lots of Authentic malts, floats and treats just like I have heard about from teh 50's. The "Jerks" were very knowledgable and very kind. My kids loved the items in the store as well. Neat place.

The Ice Cream was FANTASTIC and the atmosphere alone was worth the trip. The service was very good and I look forward to going again sometime.

This place is a real blast from the past. The owner is quirky and funny and readily available to share a good story. The menu is phenomenal, and they let the kids play with the toys before they buy them! Can't beat it for a good after-school treat.

This place is awesome - from the candy to the ice cream creations to the birthday parties and oh yeah - the toy selection! Place can't be beat for young and old alike. Had my daughters birthday party there a few years ago and we still talk about. Candy making is the best - such a fun all day activity... More

While Lofty Pursuits is on the pricey side, it is worth a try if you are in the mood for something sweet. They have a decent variety of ice cream and sherbert to choose from and a large menu filled with milkshakes, sundaes, etc. The staff were very friendly and promptly prepared our ice cream creations. I believe the experience... More

Plenty of flavors and toppings. Prices as low as $1 for a nano cone. Great place to go to treat the family.
