A La Mode Café

Offering a variety of from desserts, A La Mode Café is an ideal place to visit after a long walk around town or towpath, or after a long hike up Maryland Heights. Ice cream flavors are varied enough that basics are available alongside more interesting ones. Generally, pricing is fair, and wait times are minimal. I don't believe there is indoor seating (almost admittedly I may be wrong), so be prepared to eat and walk or find somewhere nearby to sit down.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out they serve Hersheys ice cream not Turkey Hill (as advertised outside). The teenage girls working there are very friendly and efficient. We had multiple orders and all were correct, served quickly, and with a smile.

The owner of this shop is really nice. They re-opened the shop for us after the evening was rained out and gave our dog a generously portioned pup cup for free. The pistachio ice cream was tasty. Also, thanks for keeping my lost phone safe and delivering it to me!

Really friendly, quick service. My five year old wanted to order his own and the employee was so great with him!

I'm not sure why the reviews are lower than Creamy Creations. I would chose A La Mode over Creamy Creations hands down. The teenagers running Creamy Creations are lazy, foul mouthed and just plain rude. The one and only teenager working at A La Mode (male with dark short hair) works alone and works so hard, is so kind, and is not lazy at all. You may wait a bit because he can only do so much as one person, but he'll get your order right, smile, work hard and be nothing but kind. Creamy Creations has a bunch of rude teenagers too busy goofing around to actually work. If you have to choose between the two locations, go here!

There is no shortage of ice cream to try out in this little town, we were only able to try this one, but they seemed busy all day and when we stopped in and tried some of their ice cream it was good.

Service was good, but the ice cream was delicious! Between the 4 of us, we liked all four flavors; strawberry, pistachio, orange and vanilla. Just grab and go and enjoy!

The blonde at the counter was really quick and nice, and she gave us portions that were totally worth the price! (Especially in a cup.)

Great place and the friendliest staff! They brought out water and a little cup of vanilla ice cream for my pup! Highly recommend!
