Ate here three times in three days. The banana pudding ice cream brought back cherished memories of childhood.

Best ice cream ever.... Try the Mexican chocolate in a chocolate-dipped waffle cone! They even serve food in waffle cones now.

Milk Can building.

Part sculpture, part building, patrons enjoy ice cream served from a design based on a 1928-vintage style cream can. Little Man Ice Cream is pure nostalgia nestled in the 21st century.

[Bob Pearce, 05/30/2009]

And it appears to be 21st construction, rather than cherished landmark. Not that it matters...
