"Thanks to a promotion our daughter received for free ice cream certificates at the popular Graeter's Ice Cream shop, we decided to visit the local shop in town. Even on a late Monday afternoon, the shop was packed with customers, but the line moved quickly. The promotion included a single scoop of ice cream on a sugar cone, which is typically priced at $5.25 each. I chose the signature Black Raspberry Chip flavor, my husband went with Black Cherry Chip, and our daughter opted for Mint Chip, all of which were delicious. Graeter's is known for making small-batch ice cream using the French Pot process, resulting in dense and rich ice cream. While I enjoyed the flavor and creaminess of the ice cream, I personally wasn't a fan of the large chunks of chewy chocolates. I wish there was an option for Black Raspberry without the chips. With a variety of flavors to choose from, I look forward to trying a different flavor on my next visit. The staff we encountered were friendly, the shop was clean, and there was ample indoor and outdoor seating. The Village Green Park is conveniently located across the street, offering nice views from the shop. Though some may find it pricey, Graeter's is offering $1.53 single-dip sugar cones in celebration of National Ice Cream Month and their 153 years in business, available through their app. Overall, I highly recommend this shop to ice cream lovers."
