"Ever since my doctor told me I need to lay off the sweets and started me on Ozempic in order to acquire a chiseled jaw-line and thus be accepted by the Hollywood elite which is what my mother always wanted of me, I have not had a lick of ice cream. That was 33 hours ago and coming to Cream at the Top has really set off a new level of enlightenment. The life in my eyes has returned; my purpose, fully realized. and for real, worth the drive, thoughtfully kind service with a smile, and also for real, probably coming back again tomorrow."
