The line was long and the selection was extensive. There were lots of flavors of ice cream and also some yogurt choices. They sold fudge too, but we didn't try it. Good quality stuff1

Great ice cream with a nice variety. But, be prepared to wait in a long line at night as it's not very large. Go at lunch! :)

The ice cream is fine but I don't think it's as good as the Working Cow ice cream down at the Orange Octopus. I would even say the Sub Zero "ice cream" had more taste. Their location is great, it's always busy.

Watermelon Italian Ice with chocolate sprinkles. YUMMY!! Really nice ice cream shop in the Village. Prices were good and the ice cream was great. This is a CASH ONLY venue so keep that in mind if you stop. We'll definitely be back!

They have a good selection of ice cream as well as other sweets. It is good but nothing to write home about. They have inside seating or you can hang out on the porch. Honestly, this place is popular because of it's location being on the "strip". If it was out of the way I don't think it would be... More

Skip dessert at the restaurant and save room for a Big Olaf treat! Lots of options with ice cream and cone choices, friendly efficient staff and total silence as folks dive into the deliciousness hanging out on the porch out front. Good people watching too - but hey, there are watching you...in envy.

It's normal ice cream. Ice cream is hard to screw up. Great, fast service. They have a lot of flavors. Pistachio was tasty. It's in the center of town. Great people watching from the outdoor benches.
