We were in the area on a work assignment and my co-worker stopped in…we had been deprived of ice cream earlier in the day, so this made up for it. The place is small, a few tables, some interesting flavors but nothing to write home about. Service was not bad, but I'm not quite sure I would go out of my way to go here.
This place frustrates me. It's a cute, corner shop in a sweet, sleepy town. There's potential here (with some minimal decorating effort and a bottle of Windex) to make this place as sweet as the ice cream it sells. Unfortunately, they're surviving by regulars with few other options in town, no other reason than that. The floors are nothing short of gross, cracked and filthy. Tables (there are only 2) are sticky to say the least, and the walls could stand for a fresh coat of pastel paint and polish. The ice cream is ok, nothing great. I don't see any toppings although I'm sure they're available. What really turned me off tonight more than the ick factor of the atmosphere was the girl giving me my ice cream — she put her bare hands on the cone. She absolutely should have used a paper cover or napkin when handing me my treat. Not so sweet. (That rhymes…)
*sigh*
Next time will fight the Bergen county crowds over at Van Dykes..at least their ice cream is homemade. Still, another dump as far as atmosphere goes. Hey, let this be my worst problem, right?
