    Ricanelas, honey lavender, & burnt caramel! Avoid line by entering to the right of ice cream line to buy pints or go to birite market.

    If you’re in a hurry, the soft serve window is normally much faster, even if the selection is a bit sparse.

    Had a cup of three scoops: pumpkin, brown sugar and vanilla. An amazing trio and just enough ice-cream for two to share.

    Salted caramel is decent, balsamic strawberry big disappointment, honey lavander hmm that one is like almost eating a soap bar from aux-a-provance from France. Verdict not worth the wait after all.

    You can pick up pints by just walking in to the freezer. If you have 3 or more people, a great way to avoid the long wait.
