Everything about this place rocks! They are clean, the treats/food are all delicious -my favorite is the peanut butter fudge sundae, the place is so cute. I had a lovely chat with the manager, her name is Tiffany if I remember right. She is the kindest and you can tell she really cares about the place and is knowledgeable about a lot of things on the square. Love love love going here!
