Coastal Cone & Parlor

Ice cream shop

👍 We only tried the fishies or zookies, 2 for $7 - one with Nutella and the other with cream fillings, they were very good but oh so pricey. Better to order from the express window on the "land" side rather than lining up on the "sea" side as the line was quite long
