“ Super delicious each time weve went and amazing service. I am so in love with this new ice cream shop and so is my whole family. Im excited to keep trying different things and make my way through the whole menu! ”
“ The soft serve ice cream comes in many flavors and serves as a great style of ice cream to dip cone chips into. You get to pick two toppings and one sauce. The menu said it also comes with whipped cream but ours didnt come with any and we werent missing it. Its a great treat to share with the kids. For a family that doesnt normally have sundaes this was a delightful treat. My kids loved it and even the baby enjoyed the cone chips. ”
“ Please note this review is for a black raspberry milkshake only. I was on my way home from lunch in Milford and drove right past Ryders. Decided a shake was in order. First, you must drive around behind Ion Bank to get to it. The menu offered many choices, but I went with my favorite, a black raspberry shake. The positive the large is only 7, which is pretty good in the current economy. The negative too much syrup for my preference. The taste was overpowering. There was also a slight hint of banana flavor, which is not a bad thing if it was on purpose. My plan is to return and try something else, so I can give them a chance to earn the fifth star. Hot fudge sundae sounds appealing!!! ”
“ Whimsical Delights Loads of Fun! This ice cream shop is pure magic! From the moment we stepped inside, the vibrant colors and playful atmosphere transported us to a land of childhood dreams. The ice cream itself? A symphony of flavors! We tried the stackers and it was an explosion of taste. But the real stars of the show were the staff. ”
