I never finish my ice cream. But I finished my sundae today. I had a hot fudge sundae, with pumpkin ice cream. A+
A bit pricey but great ice cream and servers We go to the mosquito frequently and they have a "poly dog" ice cream for our fur kid!
Ice cream stand right off of the highway that has a huge variety of delicious homemade ice cream They do have a few seats "inside", but the place is like a shack so sitting "inside" really just means "in the shade" Ice cream comes out extremely quickly I got the caramel pretzel ice cram and it was great! The only marks it got were that some of the pretzel bits were stale. Also have chocolate dipped cones! I got one and it was delicious and there was chocolate coating both the inside and outside of the cone!
great assortment of ice cream flavors - with options for dairy free - my fav is the cherry vanilla
Been going here my entire life and they have the best options and scoop size for the cost
There is no such thing as summers without ice cream. And The Mosquito is LEGIT good ice cream. They have a ton of flavors and sundaes, everything is delicious and the staff moves quickly. Plus they have late hours which is perfect seeing as how busy they can be during peak times. I like the blue dinosaur, which is minty and creamy and BLUE (fun!).
I have heard for years about this place for ice cream. Now, I will tell you I'm a snob with ice cream. I was skeptical and didn't go the first couple of times my hubby and son went. Finally, after hearing the mmm's I decided to try it. It's fantastic!!! The ice cream is creamy but not too creamy. It's seriously great! The only one thing but it's not a negative is my hubby loves chocolate dipped cones. They don't always have them as the season winds down. Other than that it's our new place for ice cream!
This is such a great place to get ice cream! They are seasonal, like most in the area are, but during the peak of the season, they are open 11am to 11pm! There are obviously peak times for business, especially when camp counselors get a chance to get away! Or families are headed home from boating or a beach day. With so many summer rentals nearby, it's the perfect after dinner activity. We went twice in a matter of 5 days. The first time was late evening 9:30ish and it had a line of about 7 ahead of us. That's not bad. I've seen it MUCH longer! They are quite efficient at keeping the line moving smoothly though... hopefully it's not tooo crazy hot and humid, nor a mosquito laden night, though! There is plenty of outside seating, ...in the shade or sun, (depending upon the time of day!) They also have a screened in area with a few tables and chairs. I love the character and colors of the place... it's always keep neat and tidy, but feels awesomely campy! My go to flavor is Red Raspberry Revolution, but they have sooo many choices!
