Nellie Bly's
Ranked #1 of 2 Dessert in Riverton
Restaurant details
Reviewed 9 July 2014 via mobile

Stopped here for dessert with family members that live in Riverton. From the moment we walked in, we were in love!! The smell of the waffle cones, the old fashioned ice cream parlor feel, the train!!! It's amazing!! I was overwhelmed by all the deliciousness on their flavors board, the girl was so helpful, offering us tastes of whatever we wanted. The ice cream was delicious, browsing all the candy from my childhood was amazing to share with my kids. If I lived nearby, you'd need the jaws of life to get me out of this place but I will be sure to stop in when I visit family. This place is magical.

Know that I like my ice cream just plain, so I can't speak for any other concoction ... and, I've only ever had a few scoops. When I've been there, two styles of cone were available and I loved both. Mostly I loved the old fashioned charm of the place. It reminded me of the ice cream parlors from my childhood. Everyone in the place was friendly and chatty. The nieces and nephews loved their ice cream ... but they are pretty easy to please. Our server/scooper was patient with them and allowed them several samples as they were struggling over their choices. We had fun and it was a great way to cap off our day of River walking. A stop at Nellie's is a great way to celebrate any summer day. TripAdvisor made me indicate what meal I was at Nellie's for. I clicked on dinner, but I've never eaten at Nellie's. I just go for dessert!

My husband and I live right around the corner from Nellie Bly's. We go here every so often merely for convenience rather than for any other reason. The ice cream is not great and whoever they have working there is barely trained. My husband got a terrible chocolate milk shake the other day. There was all milk and no ice cream. I ordered a sundae with marshmallow on it. They sprinkled mini marshmallows on top! I'm not 5 years old! We would have done better taking the car and driving to Friendly's a mile or two away.

Great place for an ice cream cone or a Belgian waffle sundae. Grab your cone and cup and go for a stroll along the river through tranquil Victorian Riverton. A lovely way to spend a summer evening.
