We have a toddler and they offered If we needed to take any books home we could do that. What a nice offer in this day and age. They also have a beautiful outside seating area."

Nestled just a short drive from the Budweiser brewery, "The Spoonful of Sugar" ice cream shop is a true hidden gem that offers an authentic taste of homemade ice cream. With convenient side street parking, this charming, family-owned and operated establishment immediately feels inviting and warm. From the moment you step inside, you can tell that every scoop is crafted with heart and soul. The ambiance is genuinely welcoming, reflecting the passion of the family behind the counter. We even had the pleasure of meeting Joshua, one of the sons, who was incredibly friendly and helpful, guiding us through their tempting array of flavors with genuine enthusiasm. Their reputation for outstanding flavors is well-deserved. While their banana pudding, Oreo, and coffee are particularly notable, we indulged in a delightful selection that also included strawberry and a unique strawberry banana cheesecake. Each flavor was a testament to their commitment to quality, tasting genuinely homemade and bursting with rich, authentic taste. The banana pudding was creamy and comforting, the coffee robust, and the Oreo perfectly balanced. Beyond the delicious ice cream, the service truly stands out. Joshua's helpfulness and friendly demeanor made our selections even more enjoyable, adding a personal touch that is often missing in larger establishments. To top it all off, the prices are very reasonable, offering incredible value for such high-quality, artisanal ice cream. We had a truly wonderful time at "The Spoonful of Sugar." Highly recommend this delightful spot to anyone craving genuine, delicious homemade ice cream and a truly pleasant, family-friendly experience. It's the perfect sweet escape!"

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is immaculate — clean, cozy, and totally Instagram-worthy. 🌸✨ Now let’s talk about the Banana Pudding Ice Cream… to die for! Creamy, dreamy, and packed with flavor — it’s like a hug in a cone. Honestly, it might just be the best banana pudding anything I’ve ever had. The baked goods are just as impressive — fresh, delicious, and clearly made with love. Whether you're stopping by for a quick treat or hanging out with friends, this spot is a must-visit. Final thoughts: Absolutely amazing ice cream, a super cute atmosphere, and treats that’ll keep you coming back. Highly recommend!"

And what’s even crazier is that I don’t even like bananas, but I was going bananas over their banana pudding ice cream. Their banana ice cream is so good that I could realistically see a Planet of the Apes situation go on at a Spoonful of Sugar, where apes learn about how good the banana pudding ice cream is and perform a hostile takeover. Their other ice cream flavors were still good, but they didn’t leave a lasting impression on me like their banana pudding ice cream. But other than being light on toppings in their other flavors, I don’t really have major constructive criticism to offer. If you want to have ice cream, you can try anything at a Spoonful of Sugar. But if you want to have a lasting experience, you’ve got to get the banana pudding ice cream. Banana pudding ice cream > caramel crumb cake > chocolate brownie"
