These days, Fanini is busy creating the 25 different flavors that the shop has available each day. All flavors are homemade using the old-fashioned homemade small batch ice cream technique. And all have their own creative touches that keep customers coming back for more. Fanini said the art of ice cream making came to her pretty quickly after she took over as the shop’s second owner. “It’s the inspiration behind it, having that love of creativity,” she said.
