A little ma & pop shop with the best icecream. Always busy no matter the time.

An East Side Tradition. Best softserve in Des Moines and AMAZING polish sausages!

An East Side Tradition... At least that's what the building says. It's worth trying we go about once every couple weeks they always have different candy shells to try, very fun environment.

Finally open again! If we go for ice cream, it's this place or Granny's. Each are a local staple, but the thing that gives this place extra points in my book is their ability to mix the Tornadoes effectively. For example, I get the cookie dough tornado every time, and there's cookie dough all the way to the bottom. Some places you get the topping in the top half and the bottom half is nothing but vanilla ice cream. Kudos to the staff for delicious Tornadoes. My wife gets the hot fudge banana malt every time, which speaks to it's delicious balance of banana and chocolate. Even though it's seasonal, it tastes that much better when it opens. The drive-thru is usually slammed on summer evenings, so I'd recommend going up to the window. Otherwise, if you're not in a hurry and don't mind waiting, then the drive-thru works.

I love this place! They sell food and ice cream which are all delicious I came here when I was a kid I brought all of my children here and now they are bringing their children here in my opinion it beats the heck out of Dairy Queen

They say this place is the best East Side secret, but it's not a secret anymore!I fell in love with this place for their ice cream selection and have since tried many things - all of which I've liked.Their fried pickles are to die for. Their hot dogs, burgers, and fries are all good. I tried their Tenderloin today and know I'll be back for more. The crispy outside and tender inside was perfect. I say it's not a secret anymore because you will see cars lined to the street after a hot day. The line goes quickly, but there's a reason why there's a line!

Best Ice Cream Shop in town!!

One of the best ice cream in DesMoines

Similar to Dairy Queen in terms of menu but with a few more things like fried pickles and cheese curds. Food was good, ice cream was great.

Most favorite soft serve ice cream ever!!
