The Write-Up
Kelly's churns small batch ice cream with a monthly rotation of flavors like Cookie Monster, Mexican Chocolate, Key Lime Pie and Coquito, alongside ice cream flights and Dog Pops for four legged regulars. The pink and white parlor reads quirky and welcoming, and regulars describe it as more than just an ice cream shop, a little tradition they look forward to. Clear allergy labeling and rotating non-dairy options keep the case easy to navigate.
