Yeah for another place in town serving Thrifty ice cream. Drool.....\n\nSo if I was just writing on the ice cream, it would be 5 stars easy. This shop has 35 flavors to choose from at any time. Cali's serves the wonderfully yummy Thrifty ice cream that we all remember and cherish from childhood. On this visit we had the birthday cake and Medieval Madness flavors. The birthday cake ice cream tasted just like a vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream frosting with some sprinkles thrown in. The Medieval Madness flavor is a vanilla ice cream with 3 Musketeers candy bar mixed in. Both were creamy and delicious. Yum!\n\nNow for the bad part. The shop is not visible from the street. If you are looking for it, you have to hope to see the ice cream flags out front on the main street. It is incredibly hard to find. Why, because the business is in a weird building that seems to be an oddly shaped apartment building. It is on the bottom floor in the back corner of this building. \n\nYou go inside and everything seems crammed in there. The staff isn't super friendly and made me feel uncomfortable just being in there. There are no seats or chairs or anywhere to sit and eat your ice cream. We had to just take it and eat in the car because there is absolutely no where to sit, unless you go inside someone's apartment.\n\nThere is almost no parking for this building because it is filled up with the resident's cars. There were 5 parking spots in total. I was lucky to get one spot in the back. It was easy getting in, but extremely hard to get out. I drive a mid-size sedan and still needed someone to help me get out of the spot due to the weird poles, bad parking of others, and a random gate in the way. The whole building has a strange set up.\n\nAlso, there seemed to be some unsavory people hanging out on the upstairs balcony. I wouldn't want to come here at night by myself. \n\nThe only reason I would come back is if my mom wanted to come, since it is near her house. This wouldn't be my first choice by far for ice cream on this side of town.
