A Must-Stop in Williamsburg! What a fantastic find! After a long day of exploring Williamsburg and a trip to the movies. Bubba's was the perfect treat. They have a huge selection of ice cream, and the scoops are incredibly generous for the price. I got the Salted Caramel Brownie in a cup and it was ballin'!!! The staff was very friendly and patient, even with a long line. The attached tourist shop was a nice supriss – much better than the average gift shop, with some really unique items.. cups, flags, candy and all the bigfoot swag yoy could dream of! We'll definitely be back because we just moved to Williamsburg! #neighbors

Such an awesome experience! We were just looking for ice cream and stubbled upon a whole general store. It was amazing seeing all the smiling faces , amazing service , the ice cream was AMAZING . I wish I got the names of our servers, but they were so patient with me and my family as they allowed us to try every flavor we wanted to haha! Thanks for this great afternoon service!

Yum.. my goodness! This was an ice cream place in the back of the general store. Which had tons of souvenirs. What you see in my pictures cost us ~$8 after taxes and i had a coupon for bogo from a book that i picked up from the hotel. Or it would have been $16. Still the ice cream was really good and well worth it.

Adorable place to visit when in Williamsburg VA! Great stop for picking up souvenirs and those who love Simply Southern. The ice cream was delicious and the waffle cones are amazing. Definitely try the chocolate dipped with peanuts...it was so yummy! Everyone in the shop was following safety protocols and the young man helping us at the ice cream counter was so polite! Although, it does suck that we couldn't add his tip onto our card...you can only tip cash which limited how much we could give him since we don't carry cash often. This was a fun little treat for all of us!
