I've been coming here for many years. I like how the shop looks like an old ice cream parlor. All the ice cream is homemade. My favorite is mint chocolate chip with peanut butter and fresh whipped cream. They make awesome ice cream cake with personal designs for all occasions. Once it gets warmer be prepared to wait about twenty minutes for take out. They do tend to have very slow moving lines for take out. Also, it's cash only.
This place is an institution.
Real thing, old-school ice cream shop.
Don't you just love those? I do.
I wish I could have ice cream for lunch every day. Yep.
There is a long bar with old diner-style stools to sit at, and cute dining area with booths and tables.
Scoops are HUGE. I kid you not. And oh-so-delicious!
Have to get banana split – Best. Ever.
It's a tower of sweet goodness. Scoop of Strawberry, scoop of Butter Pecan for me, whipped cream and cherry on top. And some more nuts, please! Mmmmm. Heaven.
Rich, creamy, freshly made.
Love it to bits.
Best ice cream shop on the island. Old school fashion store with the ice cream milk shake machines, and appliances. I love the banana split!! It was so good. They have plenty of flavors and toppings you can mad over. They sell lots of different candies for as cheap at 10 cents and you cant really find that no more. This place is been here over decades and still does really good and its all worth it. I def. wanna come back and try some more other flavors and have a soda float! I love and miss those. Its a cash only business also!! You can sit down and have yourself a nice sundae filled with lots of whip cream and hot fudge YUMM!
PS- if you are a die hard chocolate lover like me they sell these frozen chocolate sandwiches looks like a moon pie on a stick but its all dark chocolate with chocolate ice cream and chocolate sandwich bars ITS SO FREAKIN GOOD! I DIED!!! & now I am back and will hunt this thing down every time I need my nice hit of chocolate!
NOTE to the bfs, and hubbys you wanna make a nice make up with the significant other, GET HER THIS! ITS WORTH IT!! TRUST ME! She be enjoying it way to much to be mad=]
I've been here so many times so want to finally write a review. How do I start? This establishment has been around for so many years so it has a lot of history and tradition. It's expanded a bit since its original layout and also cash only.
When you walk in on the left they have children's lunch boxes and other various things that are available for purchase. They have a great amount of candies in glass jars for a reasonable price. There's a bar area with about six bar stools. There's also a separate area to sit in for about thirty people or so.
They have ice cream, milkshakes, root beer floats, cones, waffles and more to choose from. I usually stick with the two scoop sundae, the scoops are rather big and it's enough for me. This place has great whip cream and I know of some customers who go in there just to purchase that.
Their toppings are good and a good amount to choose from. It can be busy in the late evening for obvious reasons but it usually doesn't deter the quality of service. I've had a couple"so-so" levels of service but can overlook it for the taste of ice cream they provide.
At times the place can do a bit better on cleaning up the tables and common areas. I think the general age of employees there is in the early twenties, maybe that's the issue but can't be for sure or just better management. It can be a bit disorganized when you go to pay your bill or order because it's hard to determine who's in line and who's just waiting for their order.
I give this place four stars overall. The pros outweigh the cons for sure. It's worth the trip to get ice cream and will fill you up. My only recommendation is the organization of the service and the cleanliness can use a little bit of work. Cheers.
Grew up getting ice cream from Egger's and even as an adult they still do not disappoint. Always friendly service and love the old ice cream shoppe feel. They make the absolute best ice cream cakes around. Do yourself a favor and skip Carvel!
I had high expectations for the place but it wasn't that great. My boyfriend and I shared the Banana Boat with s'mores and chocolate chip ice cream. I loved the portion size! It says it's only 2 scoops but in reality, we got 4 scoops. The ice cream was creamy and interesting but nothing too special.
The service was great though. The server took time out to explain the different ice cream flavors and gave us so many samples. One side of the store was filled with all these kinds of candy – even old ones that I don't even see anymore. I felt like a kid again! I would go again if I was around the area but I wouldn't travel out there just for it.
Olde Time Charm!
Just a nice blast from the past. The decor is from yesteryear and the charm is everywhere. Sit in the booth and have an ice cream sundae. You will feel like a kid again.
I'm teary eyed just thinking about this place.
Pure awesome-
