"I do not have any ice cream parlors that serve Blue Bell near my home. So, when I come to the coast for vacation, it's a real treat - both for playing in the ocean AND for satisfying cravings for Blue Bell flavors that are ONLY sold in ice cream parlors (eg. red velvet cake, black cherry)! The young lady who worked the weekend shift during Sandfest 2025 treated me and my friends with smiles, good humor and kindness. MUCH APPRECIATED!"
