"I've never been more excited for ice cream in November! We had a basketball game Athens so we decided to pop on through Greenview to see if they were open as a treat for winning their games and they were! And of course, everything was absolutely AMAZING! I got the pumpkin pie sundae with daily grind ice cream and holy moly... I have no words to describe how incredible this was! The picture does not do the flavor justice! It is a must try! My son got the peanut butter cup ice cream with peanut butter topping and again, absolutely amazing!!!!! I cannot wait to have a reason to come back this way when they happen to be open and try something else new! My husband got a cotton candy cone and loved it too!!!! Thank you for friendly, quick, and tasty service! I also LOVE that they have a donation container out for Pets Without Parents!"
