Being able to chose the base ice cream and any additions led to the most delicious ice cream treat I have ever eaten. Walking across the Walnut St. pedestrian bridge in Chattanooga to this ice cream shop for the treat and then enjoying a rest in a leather chair while eating was just divine.

My family and I were visiting Chattanooga for the first time and decided to get some ice cream from the ice cream show and explore the city. As a first time visitor, I had absolutely no idea what the concept of this shop was and still don't as the girl working the counter looked absolutely annoyed with my questions. We... More

Having just finished a great dinner at Tony's, we found ourselves intrigued by happy faces coming out of The Ice Cream Show. We went in just to peak at offerings and then found ourselves ordering a frozen yogurt. What I liked so much was the variety available, starting with low/no(?) fat chocolate or vanilla yogurt, and a huge list of... More

After strolling across the Walnut Street Bridge, the kids were ready for a frozen treat and the adults were ready for some coffee. My older daughter is allergic to eggs, so she could not have the ice cream and opted for frozen yogurt to which she added peanut butter and peanut butter cups. My younger daughter had ice cream with... More

This place has the freshest waffle cones/bowls in town. I get the chocolate fro-yo. They have a loyalty program - don't forget to ask for a stamp card.

The sign advertising a sundae for dogs (and the smell of baking waffle cone) lured us in. The dogs loved the yogurt, peanut butter and banana treat. The other people on the patio also enjoyed watching them eat it. This was not purely a stop to make the dogs happy. We got delicious treats for ourselves, too. Be prepared to... More

We stopped in after a leisure walk over the bridge. The atmosphere is cool. My son enjoyed all the different options. The price was a little high but he enjoyed it.

This is a cute place in a neat location at one end of the Walnut Street pedestrian bridge and within easy walking distance, over a cool glass bridge, from the Hunter Museum. The concept is that you order a base ice cream or yogurt, chocolate or vanilla, and create one of thousands of flavors. The ingredients you choose are blended... More

My boyfriend isn't a big ice cream fan and he didn't want any. Huge mistake on his part and he severely regretted it! He couldn't keep his hands off mine! Yes, it's not cheap but it's definitely worth it.
