Great Ice Cream, Great employees !
Oh wow! Fogarty's/aka Hickman Soft Serve Royal Treats (the banner says 10/20/19) has THE-BEST soft-serve ice cream in Des Moines! The recipe tastes just like old-school DQ. Yum! $2.13 for a small vanilla cone, generous portion, that looks like a soft-serve cone, not The Blob. Very impressed, love the product and the staff. Thank you!
Super tasty treats and excellent staff. They will sweeten your day!
The couple that run this place are super sweet and friendly, let me say that first and foremost. This is a local business run by great people and is what makes our city great, so get your behinds over there and support them. Okay, now, you guys, IT'S AE ICE CREAM! 1) another local business 2) the best I've cream ever! Seriously, it is the creamiest most yummy dairy tasting ice cream! The employees are mostly young teenagers and I think they do a great job and dress like...teenagers selling ice cream. Shorts, t-shirts, ponytails, etc. I grew up in the neighborhood and my parents still live in the same house, so it's great to see a solid local business located where I used to ride my bike constantly every summer. Not knocking DQ, but...well, yes I am...we have amazing local dairy and amazing local entrepreneurs and I'd rather see that in my city any day!
***IMPORTANT: If reading other reviews, please do note that the current owners were franchisees for DQ, then sold the business to an employee (I don't know the details, but it ended up closing), and eventually bought it back and just reopened mid-summer 2019. So any reviews dated in recent years but before, like July/August 2019 do not reflect the current ownership or product!!!***
