Pete's Ice Cream and Donuts
If you love ice cream you are going to LOVE Pete's Ice Cream. It is made in-house and is super creamy and luscious.
Plus, it is stored in a spinning wheel that makes you feel like you have won the jackpot picking a flavor.
What I love is the flavors include the basic of vanilla and chocolate but also include epic flavor combinations.
The last time we were in, they had key lime pie ice cream, strawberry lemonade, and so many more flavors, it was hard to choose what to get.
Did I mention they also make their waffle cones in house and they are delish!
Indoor Seating
