American bakeries range from wholesale operations that supply restaurants to neighborhood shops that sell bread, pastries, cookies and cakes over the counter, and many of them also pour coffee. Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.

Came in on a Monday night and it was steady busy, but the service was great!! Brinley was the only person working and she was so kind even though there was a long line. The ice cream was great but her service was even better. I’m definitely coming back.

My husband brought me here during Wednesday around 6pm for a surprise date. I was certainly surprised by the overwhelming cleaning / chemical cleaner smell of the place. There were several people, including families, enjoying their ice cream but after probably 1 minute of standing at the counter, we couldn't handle the strong smell since we both have scent allergies so we left. Wasn't even able to try the ice cream. Won't be back. Thanks anyway.

My wife and I have been coming to D’Lites for over a year now, and we always have a great experience. The flavors and toppings are consistently amazing, and the prices are always reasonable! One employee in particular, Yvonne, has made our visits especially memorable with her outstanding customer service. Her friendly demeanor and cheerful attitude are a big part of why we keep coming back so often. We’re very grateful for the wonderful experiences we’ve had at D’Lites and look forward to many more visits in the future!

I absolutely love the ice cream and toppings!! The only concern I have is the new spoons. They are not durable - actually they are flimsy which makes it hard eat my ice cream. Please return to the yellow spoons. Otherwise, this review would have been a 5. Update: 5/31/26 D'lites listens!! My kids went to D'lites and came home with excitement because the yellow spoons are back! Thanks, D'litesπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ. I've upgraded my rating to and "5".
