This is a stop you don't want to pass up.
Popcicles are a must and if you don't yet have a polar freeze water bottle this is the place to get one. They have the best price around.
The folks were a joy to talk to and were extremely knowledgable about the trail. Don't forget to get water here. The next stop is a ways. The bike shop / Ice cream shop did not have ice for our water bottles but I think that will change. Slurpies at the bike shop were great too. Thanks Ted

I love this place! Great service and friendly people (understatement!). It is just a fun place to take a break and hang out. They also have a good selection of supplies and refreshments and tons of conversations and laughs.

Great place: I stop here /every/ time I go past -- which has been one ride a week, recently.

Snacks, restrooms, water. Quite a wide variety of snack foods, including drinks.

Sometimes... a very friendly dog. Rarely... you may be able to find the cat.

Agree with everything said above BUT, PLEASE get OFF the trail to enjoy
this business. People and their children standing in the middle of the
trail have made this a VERY dangerous location. Recently we had to walk through a mob of adults and at least 10 children then when I clipped in to continue, a mother with a child on a trail a bike pulled in front of me and stopped, blocking the trail!!!

We love to stop for ice cream--sometimes both ways! We also like to visit the dog and cats
that live here. But we forewarned--the cats like to share your ice cream :-)
