Nan and Pop's Ice Cream Shop

The Write-Up

The full story

An old-fashioned Longwood parlor where the sweet smell of waffle cones hits you at the door. Bubble waffle cones come warm and fresh, the scoops are super creamy, and red velvet is the flavor guests name most, with banana splits, freak shakes and Pop's Garbage Pail for bigger appetites. The staff are generous with samples, the room is cute and clean, and the whole place runs cozy and unhurried.
