These shops are also amazing spots for birthday parties, as they let you reserve an area in their store for a small fee, including a complimentary scoop.

SweeTreats and Highlands Deli

This spot takes homemade treats to another level, thanks to the unique blending machines that they invented over thirty years ago.
