Cake cones, waffle cones, scoops, ice cream nachos, ice cream sandwiches, and milkshakes.

Shelves of glass jars packed with wrapped salt water taffy, with hand-written flavor labels.

Rows of glass jars, hand-labelled, packed with wrapped salt water taffy. You pick the flavors yourself.

Exposed brick, a few tables, and a case by the counter. There are baked goods in it — pastries are on the shop's own window list alongside the ice cream, chocolate, fudge and coffee.
