i am a big fan of restaurants with a nice porch, friendly service, a creative menu and great desserts.
today i found such a place. let me introduce you to
ice cream shop addie-ella
it is a lovely little lunch spot where you are greeted with a flurry of bubbles and a warm shy smiles from addie and ella, the owners and operators.
the menu is rather extensive and ella joins each costumer in their seat to explain each item on the menu.
my husband & i were delighted to receive our drinks, a shirley temple for me and an arnold palmer for the gentleman, while ella filled us in on her recommendations of what to order.
their specialty, she said, is a sandwich which she invented called
"the flip"
it is a grilled sandwich with turkey and cheese and comes with a side of chocolate syrup for dipping. i have to say, it is delicious. at first i was skeptical about the chocolate sauce but i am a big fan especially when it is hand made & delivered by this little beauty.
adeline, is the chef and co-owner along with her sister, ella. she is famous for her desserts, which are plentiful. even if you don't order one you may receive several. my husband had trouble keeping up with all the delicious treats being delivered one after the other.
i should mention, just to be fair to future patrons of this fine establishment, ella is known to sometimes forget a plate or two. a mistake i was happy to overlook, but i know some more finicky folks might not be too happy about that.
i should also mention that we did witness a little fight between the owners/sisters. it was quickly resolved but might leave some people feeling a little uncomfortable to be involved in a family dispute.
overall, we were so pleased with our newest foodie find that we will be frequenting there all summer. hope you'll visit sometime soon too, i know addie & ella would be thrilled to serve you up some fine fixins.
