My adult son and I came by after dinner and a walk, he ordered coffee and I ordered a small ice cream . The ice cream was good. The way it works: you order either a base of vanilla or chocolate and then tell them...what you want mixed in. I asked for coffee in mine. They mix it together in a very unique mixer type machine and it extrudes it into your choice of cup or cone. My son thought the coffee was good, but he liked my ice cream better. I did not observe any faux pas regarding the covid pandemic and felt comfortable with the practices of the staff and the cleanliness of the business. There was live music on the patio, which was nice to enjoy while we had our coffee and ice cream and the location is great - right beside the bridge. A nice walk to enjoy the waterfall scene.More

Best ice cream. Period.

This is the best ice cream I've ever had. You start with a base of vanilla or chocolate, ice cream or yogurt. Then, you choose what you want mixed in (e.g. m&ms, oreos, marshmallow, etc.). The end result is incredible. Get it in a cone...because the cones are also amazing. Love the atmosphere. Plenty of places to sit and relax and enjoy your ice cream.More

Great location!

The wait staff was very pleasant and following best practices for the virus. The location can't be beat, overlooking the brink of the falls. Plenty of outdoor seating. My son had a coffee and I had a chai latte along with muffins. He returned in...the evening for ice cream via the Swamp Rabbit Trail.More

Great for a snack or just to stop and enjoy main street

We were in town visiting our daughter and shopping and sight seeing on Main Street. Stopped here for iced coffee and iced tea. Excellent and friendly staff. We sat outside for a while just enjoying the sights and Main Street.

Took my grandson because he loves the things he can add to his ice cream. Crowded. We sat inside. None of the employees wore gloves. Unacceptable when considering what they are doing. We sat inside and I observed minimal cleaning of the tables and chairs.

The individual making our ice cream cones and serving wore one glove and no mask. While making our dishes he would wipe his nose with his i gloves hand while handling the ice cream cones and/or bowls. Completely unsanitary given the current environment.

People With Allergies: BEWARE!

They do not clean the machines well enough in between customers. I had a big glob of peanut butter at the bottom of my waffle bowl. My son also had remnants of the last ice cream made in his cone. Bathrooms are not open, yet...they want you to come and patron their place. Certain precautions should be followed so people are safe and taken care of.More

Hi Al, sorry for the confusion. For the past two months we have only been allowed to be open for takeout due to the national pandemic. It's only recently that we've opened for inside seating. We have planned to open in phases as the CDC...More

Excellent coffee

This shop has excellent coffee and it overlooks the river so it's a great place to come and relax. The only downside is that at times the crowds overwhelm the staff and the wait time becomes very long. The last time I was there (yesterday)...the line was so long that I ended up leaving and going to the Starbucks across the streetMore
