Step inside off of the busy street and you’ll not only cool off, but will feel as if you have traveled back in time to an era that is now only a distant memory on the pages of a history book. Look around and enjoy the walls and The Fountain on Locust’s motif, reminiscent of when Art Deco was all the rage and old-fashioned soda fountains were more of a trend than nostalgia. Slip up to the counter and ask one of the soda jerks to create a surprise sundae. Or, make a wish on three chocolate coins accenting an ice cream that tastes like an after-dinner mint delight covered in Zanzibar chocolate, vanilla and real handmade whipped cream.

It started as the most delicious cupcake bar in town and has now become a place where you can have your ice cream-topped cake and eat them, too. Offering ice cream with the popular cupcakes began with pastry chefs designing four initial flavors. Now, you will find new creative ice cream flavors offered each month that are specially hand-crafted on site. Try a combination that brings in flavors of lemon combined with cake, or go for a latte mixture of chocolates and coffee inside a frozen treat.
