Overview:
Mr. D’s is the kind of place that becomes part of your routine without even trying. Maybe it starts with a scoop of Black Raspberry after school. Or a birthday cake you picked up once—and now pick up every year. For owner Heather Williams, it started with childhood memories of Praline’s Ice Cream and turned into a dream come true when she bought the shop in 2021. Today, Mr. D’s still serves those classic Praline’s flavors, along with cupcakes, candy, coffee, and a little local magic.

Why It’s Worth a Stop:
Because every town needs a spot like this—where the cones are generous, the candy jars are full, and everyone knows your go-to order. Mr. D’s makes everyday moments feel like little celebrations.
