Just discovered this cute place today!! I had a Mocha Milkshake & it was delicious.  My daughter had trash can ice cream which she loved.  It was so nice to sit outside & there's a nice grassy area for kids to run around on.  My new favorite Ice Cream spot!

This place is fantastic — everything you’d want in an ice cream shop: high quality ice cream, fun original flavors (I love the peanut butter), and some creations you won’t readily find elsewhere.

Spoons has some of the tastiest ice cream and the most creative treats out there! We had a Monster Freakshake that was perfect for two people to share. A homemade chipwich sat on top blue cookie dough ice cream with edible cookie dough and Oreos inside, it was simply delicious! The shop is also really lovely with a cute outdoor patio to hang out and enjoy. The staff here were great and had such a good attitude/vibe towards their customers. I highly recommend the Monster Freakshake in particular to anyone that loves cookie dough ice cream.

Hi readers and staff <3 I’ve previously visited quite a while ago to try the Cannoli and Trash Can flavors (both 10/10) and came back this Wednesday for their 2 for $10 pint sale The girl was sooo nice and eased my indecisiveness by letting me try the two flavors I was eyeing. I got Deep Dish Apple Pie and Salted Caramel Bourbon Truffle. I’m including pictures from both visits. Definitely a pretty interior, 10/10 flavor rotations and responsive on IG if needed. Thank you again and Happy Thanksgiving everyone

I got an 8" vanilla n strawberry cake for my daughter's birthday. This cake was UNBELIEVABLE. I personally hate ice cream cake and had 2 pieces . The ice cream is amazing and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. Would recommend them any time and my other kids already planning their cake lol. No photo because it didn't make it lol 4/26/24: Amazing birthday cake once again and worth every penny! 4/2025: Amazing again as always.
