Blue Bell hand-dipped ice cream, scooped to order. The lineup rotates, so ask the crew what's in the case today. Cones, cups, or stacked high however you like it.
Not just scoops. Pull up to the coffee side for something cold-brewed and smooth, perfect alongside a cone or on its own.
Cold-brewed and served over ice. Simple, local, and made the way Surf City regulars like it.

Best soft serve I've ever had. Banana Split was delicious!
Amazing soft serve and the friendliest service! The kids devoured their chocolate-dipped cones.
