🥩🥩🥩🥩 Food
Amy & Alex don’t just serve ice cream; they craft it with purpose. Every batch is made in-house using all-natural ingredients and zero high-fructose corn syrup, and their flavors rotate seasonally and creatively. Some are classic and others are totally unexpected, but all are crave-worthy.
- Oreo Cheesecake – A top-tier option that’s rich, nostalgic, and indulgent in the best way.
- Seasonal Rotating Flavors – Think bold, adventurous creations like Kerrygold brown butter pecan, mango dragon fruit, or even honey-raspberry swirl.
- Dairy-Free Options – Made with creamy coconut milk for those avoiding dairy, without compromising flavor or texture.
- Ice Cream Flights – Can’t pick just one? You don’t have to. The flight option lets you sample up to four — perfect for indecisive (or curious) palates.
You can also find savory breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and sometimes homemade bagels depending on the day and season.
🍸🍸🍸🍸 Drink
Their drink menu is just as dynamic and seasonal as their scoops. Some highlights include:
- Passion Fruit Refresher – Bright, tangy, and totally addictive. A fruit-forward fan favorite.
- Lattes & Cold Brews – Smooth, strong, and beautifully balanced, often infused with seasonal syrups and flavor profiles.
From espresso to creative tea-based drinks, there’s always something interesting brewing behind the counter.
