We just went through Wayne City. We saw this place was still open! Haley was working there today. She was so very cute, sweet, polite and kind! She was so adorable! She treated us like ROYALTY! We love this girl! ❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Rodney Groff
My wife and I stopped on our way through Wayne City to get some ice cream. I ordered a soft serve large cone, vanilla, and my wife ordered a peanut butter Sunday, both were great. They have both soft serve and hand dipped. It was 90 degrees, so my ice cream started melting pretty quickly, but the owner talked with us for a little bit and we had a good experience, enjoyed it. They also have a few food items such as tacos in a bag and a couple nacho choices, go check it out.

Everything i have tried from Sweeties has been phenomenal, especially her homemade peanut butter sauce! They have ice cream flavours of the week, constants, and rotating desserts. But now, she has dirty Alani drinks too! I got the cotton candy, and omgggggg, it's to die for!
