> There is NO brown derby ice cream available at this place. Not even ice cream in a cone. A very disappointing dairy., Sandra Morrissey, 2 months ago
> It happened just now. An old man who works there today (Sun 6th of April) threw a used napkin out of the store. I threw it back to the shop and decided to let them know here that I don't appreciate that kind of behaviour., By Ko, a year ago
> Fav dairy, always such friendly staff :) They've been closed recently for a couple of weeks which im a little worried about. Hope to see them soon!, Samara Kirkham, 3 years ago
