Cherry Street Creamery

Highlight • Restaurant

Some people like a pre-ride coffee, while others can't wait for their post-ride beer. As for me, nothing beats a mid-ride ice cream to cool down and rest for a while. If ice cream isn't your thing you they have a good selection of classic staples like burgers, hot dogs, nachos and more.
