Oh My Goodness! This is one of the best ice cream shops around. They create one of a kind flavors and cones in house with local ingredients, and offer up samples willingly so you can get exactly what you're craving. If you're vegan, believe me, you won't be disappointed. Sometimes we opt for those flavors because they're out of this world!
