"Not a local. We stopped by on the way out & 6 people had delicious ice cream and Italian ice! My husband had banana pudding and said “this may be the best ice cream I’ve ever had”. Polite & prompt guy behind the window. We come down every year and will make this part of the tradition. It’s so good!!"

"Very cute walk up place to grab Italian ice or ice cream. There are some picnic benches with umbrellas to sit at if you want to stay to finish your icy treat. Extra large variety and fun named flavors. My favorite is the Zombie, find myself navigating back to it every year. Great prices and very nice teens serving the cold stuff. (They have pup cups too for your furry family!) Highly recommend."

"Wish I lived closer or there were other locations near Clayton! I absolutely love Italian ices and so far this is the only place that I found that reminds me of Ralph’s Italian Ices from up north! So many different flavors and it’s just a cute yellow shack with great service and the best flavors!!!"

"Sweet little spot to stop and get a cool, refreshing treat! We thoroughly enjoyed ours. There are tons of different flavors, so it will be hard to choose. We got the Cry Baby and the Tropical Ranibow. Tropical Rainbow is definitely my favorite. Can't wait to go back on a hot summer day with the family."
