I visited this place with my girlfriend on a Sunday afternoon around 4 pm. It wasn't too busy and street parking was pretty easy to find, although I can see how on other days of the week this may not be the case.\r
The shop itself is a little grungy, but has it's historic appeal. It doesn't look like they've ever really put any money into maintenance or upkeep. There is an old fashioned serving bar with bar stools and old fashioned table seating. The scoops of icecream are served in cute, antique pedistal dishes. The dingy appearance of the place however leaves you wondering about cleanliness in general. The icecream was very good in my opinion and reminds you of homemade, full flavor icecream people made years ago and doesn't taste like the stuff from the grocery store. The store was being run on this day by two, twentysomethings who were playing loud, alternative rock music on an iPod. I thought it seemed a bit inappropriate for the clientele and the historic nature of the place.
Pros: Historic Charm, Ice Cream, Serving Dishes, Price
Cons: Appearance of Shop, Music, Payment options
