pandosy · ice cream

we get a pint to share instead of two separate scoops, better value and a better excuse to figure out what the other person actually likes. the waffle cones are baked in-house and the smell hits you before you're even through the door. we take it back toward the water if the night is still warm.

# Parlour Ice Cream - Date Planning Notes **Best for:** Casual dates, anniversaries, post-activity treats (especially after a sunset cruise or lakeside walk) **The vibe:** Charming downtown spot with a short walk to the waterfront—perfect for grabbing a cone and strolling by the lake for cute photos. It gets genuinely busy on warm days with lines out the door, but the service stays friendly and efficient, so don't let that scare you off. **What makes it special:** They bake their waffle cones fresh in-store (the smell alone is worth the visit), and the ice cream flavors are handmade with serious care—think London Fog that tastes like actual tea and Cookies & Cream with visibly crumbled cookies mixed in. There are solid dairy-free options too if that matters for your date. **Pro tip:** Go for a pint instead of two scoops if you're sharing—it's better value ($11 vs $10) and you'll skip the line. Hit it on a cooler weekday afternoon if you want to actually chat without shouting, but honestly, the lakeside location makes even a busy Saturday feel romantic and worth the wait.
