Treat Matchmaker

Choose your mood, format and texture for one primary direction and two alternates. The result uses formats explained below and does not promise a rotating flavor.

Soft serve: the classic cone or dish

Soft serve is smooth, freshly dispensed and easy to order in a cone or dish. A cone is portable and nostalgic; a dish is easier for young children, slower eaters, hot days and extra toppings.

Soft serve is also the foundation for other treats. Keep the texture and add a ribbon with Flavor Burst, layer toppings for a sundae, or blend mix-ins for a concrete.

Flavor Burst: soft serve with a ribbon of flavor

Flavor Burst keeps the cone-or-dish experience while adding a flavored ribbon. Choices can include black raspberry, strawberry, butter pecan, cotton candy, green apple, bubble gum, butterscotch or a seasonal flavor when available.

  • Choose it for fruit or candy-style flavor without a thick blend.
  • Keep the ease of a cone while going beyond chocolate, vanilla or twist.
  • Try a rotating flavor in a smaller format.

Confirm a specific flavor before making a special trip.

Concretes: a strong match for blended mix-ins

A concrete is thick, spoonable and built for cookies, candy, brownie, fruit and other mix-ins blended throughout. Specialty combinations can include Muddy River, Monster Concrete and Moolicious Drumstick when listed.

Start with one mix-in for clarity or combine creamy, crunchy and salty elements for contrast. Extra mix-ins make a dessert richer quickly.

Sundaes: a strong match for toppings and layers

A sundae keeps toppings visible. One spoonful may be mostly soft serve; another carries hot fudge, caramel or fruit. Current menu directions can include hot fudge, turtle, brownie, fruit and cheesecake-inspired choices when available.

Shake or malt: what is the difference?

Both are blended, creamy and served for a straw. A shake emphasizes the selected flavor. A malt adds a toasted malted-milk note. Current flavor choices can include chocolate, fruit, caramel, hot fudge, salted caramel and peanut butter. Check current availability for seasonal choices.

Hard-pack ice cream: rotating scoop-shop flavor

Hard-pack is firmer than soft serve and served in scoops. It suits a traditional dipped cone or dish and rotating flavor choices. Ask what is in the case today.

Non-dairy gelato and dietary questions

The current menu lists non-dairy gelato choices, with flavors that may include vanilla, strawberry crunch or salted caramel. Availability changes. “Non-dairy” describes a product direction; it does not answer every allergy or cross-contact question. Call before visiting when a medically important concern affects the order.

Slushies and frozen lemonade

Slushies are icy and bright, while frozen lemonade starts with a tart lemonade profile and may include fruit variations. Choose one for a drinkable hot-weather refresher. Ingredient questions still matter.

Choices for different cravings

Mix-ins

Choose a concrete with cookie, brownie, candy or a specialty combination.

Fruit flavor

Look at Flavor Burst, a fruit-topped sundae, shake, hard-pack flavor, slushie or frozen lemonade.

Chocolate

Look at hot fudge, turtle, brownie, chocolate shakes or concrete combinations.

Small snack

Choose a junior or small cone or dish.

Full dessert

Choose a specialty concrete, loaded sundae, shake, malt or banana-split-style treat when available.

Cannot decide

Pick spoon, straw or cone; then simple or loaded; then a flavor family.

Popular Atlantic combinations and ordering tips

In the current Udderly Delicious award story, customers mentioned specialty concretes and familiar favorites such as Muddy River, Monster Cookie-style choices, raspberry malt, black raspberry shake and turtle sundae. Treat those mentions as inspiration, not a daily availability promise.

  • Look at the cup or cone size before choosing.
  • Use a dish for young children, heat or extra toppings.
  • Ask what is rotating before deciding on hard pack or Flavor Burst.
  • Start with fewer mix-ins when you want the base flavor to remain clear.
  • Tell the team about dietary questions before preparation.
