"I can’t believe we didn’t come here sooner! The ice cream is fantastic and they have a wide selection of toppings and mix-ins which was very impressive! I got an espresso mudslide avalanche (similar to a blizzard at DQ) and it was SO good! We definitely will be back to try more of the items on the menu, especially the Italian ice!"

"We ordered via DriveThru and got the Hot Fudge Sundae Brownie. My goodness this was so good! The vanilla soft serve tasted so light and creamy while the hot fudge and brownie blended in really well with it. The order has brownie bits in it and those brownie bits were soft and easy to eat. You can order in the store or go through the drive thru. We came a few minutes before closing and there was still a few cars ahead of us in line. After trying the Hot Fudge Sundae Brownie here, I can see why! I will definitely come back to try the other flavors once I’m back in town!"

"Son’s is a top notch ice cream shop. The employees are so friendly and awesome! Their ice cream and choices is amazing. My grandson will ask if I’m not doing anything if I would take him to Son’s. It saddens me /us that you close over the winter. We eat ice cream all year long! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"Both the salted caramel ice cream and fudge brownie sundae were amazing and the portions were very fair for the price. The girl who took our order was very nice, and our orders came out way quicker than we expected. I definitely recommend this to anyone in the area!"

"What's not to love? Timeless. You're standing outside at the end of summer with the community enjoying ice cream, kids are having a good time, people catching up, the ideal evening. Meanwhile the staff is working harder than anybody else in town while the rest of us are enjoying our treats. This is one of those touchstones in every good community, and I'm glad this one is going strong."
