Lofty Pursuits

Best ice cream in the world, service is so good. Try one of their candies, because they handmake them every day. The burgers are very large, and the employees love the job. The decorations give the place a very nice touch of nostalgia and the shop is full of unique gifts and trinkets.

We have been watching the YouTube videos for over a decade! Traveled in from Texas to visit the store. For us, this would be a third trip, but first with our son. They were making the first batch of candy canes for the season. The kids loved watching them make the candy canes. We got ice cream, and a root beer float flight. Greg sold us on their thanksgiving assortment of image candy. Every flavor is better than the last! Such a nice candy and toy store. I’m sad we were too late for bunch. They have one of the best biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had.

We saw this place on the show The Foods that built America and decided to try it out. We live in FL so it was about a 3.5hr drive for us. The service, atmosphere and food was 10/10! We ordered steak and French fries. For dessert we had ice cream. My husband had mint chocolate ice cream and I had cookies and cream.

An absolutely delightful experience! All sorts of fun toys, home-made foods and ice cream, such a fantastic vibe. Easily the best ice cream around for flavor, and watching them make candy is a treat! The food is also absolutely incredible. I go out of my way to come here, they're wonderful.

In Dec 2025, I found lofty pursuits website and saw they make hard candy and one of the pictures on their page was of a beautiful Christmas ornament made w their holiday flavors candy. So Aunt and I thought itd be a lovely gift for family or friends. We ordered 9 of the ornaments and another packet of loose pumpkin spice candy. When the package arrived I realized smthing was wrong. We received 1 pack of the pumpkin candy and 9 packages of 'loose' Christmas candy, NOT the candy ornament on their website. So this put us in a last minute predictament where we tried to find/purchase edible glue to try n make the ornaments ourselves. Well it didnt work and so we nvr got the ornaments for gifts. Sometime in January I spoke w manager at Lofty and he acted surprised I was even calling abt this
