3rd visit here. First visit last year probably would have earned 4 stars, but some things seem to have gone down. Visit 2 my order was messed up, no big deal, mistakes happen and they credited me for the mistake. What got me was the lack of good customer service, but again, could have just been an off night. Tonight was the mail in the coffin, unfortunately. The ice cream is decent, nothing special, but the customer service is seriously lacking. High school kids with zero personality or any clue how to speak to the general public. That’s not even the worst of it. The sanitation is awful. I’ve worked for a restaurant for 14 years now so I’m hyper aware of these things (thankfully.) one kid kept running his hand through his long hair, next to the ice cream, then did not wash it. The other kid had gloves on, but he was scooping and cashing people out with the same gloves. I saw him serve 4 families and cash them out all with the same gloves on. Looking behind counter there were overflowing trash cans and the counters were filthy. It looks like some (re?)training might be necessary and some higher food safety standard be implemented. Also, super overpriced. It’s Giffords ice cream. I can get a tub of that at the grocery store for $4 without the side of teenager hair and attitude.

Had the new Ice Cream Nachos. Amazing and fun. Will be back. Great service. A little pricey, but good ice cream usually is!

Best ice cream cake ever, especially since I got to choose the two flavors and topping and middle. Well worth the cost. I just wish they were open all year round.

It has been great for me to bring my kids and after we finish some delicious ice cream we play fun games like jenga,bean bag toss and pool.

Small places. Some of the best ice cream I've ever had. They have some unusual flavors!!

Great place to chill with your family. During lockdown - customers and staff were following social distancing rules. Good menu and nice seating arrangement. Ample parking space. They have a couple of items on the menu for pets too

Amazing flavors! Local fresh icecream. Made right in the Berkshires. I order the unicorn with blueberry honey lavender ice cream my son order the chocolate Madness with chocolate stout ice cream... reasonably priced if you compare it to places like Sugar Factory! But 100 better ;)
