“Just as good as the original location on Valley Drive, and you can listen to the bubbling brook in the back as you eat your ice cream. UPDATE: Nothing more refreshing than orange pineapple ice cream on a warm summer day. UPDATE-2: They are consistent in following their ice cream recipes and maintaining quality so you know you're going to enjoy each visit.”
— N N“There was a long line, but it moved quickly. It was a Friday evening in July so an ice cream stand is the hot spot! Ice cream was great as was the service.”
— Wayne Sigler“I am pleasantly surprised to see that this place had some vegan options! And pretty cheap too! I used to come here as a kid before I was vegan and I never thought I'd be able to come back so this was nice!”
— Blair Sabre“What a great place to go. One of the best ice cream places I’ve been to, so many options so many flavors! Always busy.”

The Shadybrook location features a natural brook running behind the property, giving customers a peaceful, nature-adjacent setting to enjoy their ice cream — something you won't find at a typical local stand.
