First time there today! To start- it’s like stepping into the old-school ice cream parlor on the boardwalk with its bright colors, interior design, and ice cream bar right in the front. There are places to sit inside. The staff made my boys and I feel so welcome-smiling as we walked in and explaining everything. The 2 ladies there tonight took the time to answer all of our questions including questions from my toddler. The ice cream is delicious- creamy and smooth. Not overly expensive at all! I was amazed at how much we were able to get without breaking the bank. It’s worth checking it out!

First time visiting Vance’s and we were impressed with the large selection of flavors and the flexibility in toppings. The server was very friendly and helpful, they have both indoor seating and outdoor seating out back. Prices were modest. We will definitely go there again!

Vance and his family are great! Hershey's ice cream flavors are divine. Affordable too! On occasion I have seen them have the Homemade fudge from the Vance family! Also looks like they carry ice cream cakes too. $15 for a small round one is fair. I saw a sign labeled for chocolate chip ice cream cookie sandwiches that were sold out. Personally got a milkshake last couple visits and did not regret

Hershey's Icecream!! This place has real authentic icecream that melts unforgettable flavors into your mouth.I got cotton candy icecream in a waffle cone (cotton candy flavored icecream is my favorite icecream and Hershey's icecream puts a pack a punch flavor into every bite). My partner got a crazy coconut, chocolate chip,cherry, and chocolate sundae. The gentleman put his sundae into a half pint container (which was alot of icecream for the price). Service was top tier and atmosphere was so cute and orginal. Highly recommend this place for great icecream.

This ice cream shop is a truly happy place to be, offering deliciously rich ice cream. Despite the lack of any sugar-free options, thee quality of the ice cream itself is simply outstanding and highly recommended.
