Update! The ice cream is fabulous! I had the strawberry cheese cake and the custard. Both were tasty and not too sweet! Not open. It said it was open until 9. We showed up at 8:30. The lights were on, someone was inside cleaning.

Just your cute little local neighborhood ice cream shop. Love the vibes and flavors here. They do split scoops and I got the strawberry matcha and raspberry cheesecake, which I loved! Their icecream are not overly sweet unlike most, and some of the fruit flavored ones have a wonderful natural tart, sourness, and sweetness to them!

Tried the marionberry and the raspberry swirl. Both are delicious. They deserve their high ratings! The Mango Custard is great as well. They have new flavors every week or two, so it's a great excuse to revisit!

St. Francis Ice cream is the new spot on the block. Wonderful simple vibe inside with great flavor options. We visited for the first time and were able to try several different great flavors. They make their waffle cones in house. I loved the caramel Oreo ice cream. I got the regular scoop in a cup which was a solid portion size with decent pricing. They do offer affogato and milkshake options which I’d love to try sometime. Certainly recommend trying this place.

So good! And now they have smash burgers! It doesn't get much better than this. My son says, "5 out of 5", so you know kids like it too.
