“IDK why these guys aren't recognized by their iced coffee as well as their milk. The ice coffee at stewarts is literally the absolute best I've ever had. I'm sorry but it's even better than dunkin donuts and star bucks by a long shot. Idk what it is about it but its addicting. My husband drives to stewarts 3x a day just for ice coffee and we live 30 mins away. That should tell you something. The staff in this place is also very professional, happy oriented and go out of their way to make certain food you want. They help people who need it pump gas or get their items and bring them out to them. Also the fact free air (which every where else charges for air) I love stewarts and will greatly miss them when I move to Ohio. I'll have to make trips up every so often just for their ice coffee and see the amazingly friendly staff. My favorite along with my husbands is the caramel drizzle and caramel creamer ?. Deff highly recommend this stewarts♡”

“We came around here for the purpose of skiing so we don’t really know the area too well. We were looking to grab some ice cream and they only had single cups. We figured we would buy them anyways but the very kind attendant recommended that we went to Stewart’s ice cream. We still bought stuff to give her service but very nice people.”
