Eda's Italian Ice

It feels like a homecoming the moment you walk in the door, as Lisa and Jack (the owners) and their friendly staff greet you. Their story is as lovely as their gelato and ices, which are both handmade in small batches. The location, which has been in the family as a variety of businesses for many years, is cheery, sunny, and memorable – from both hospitality and deliciousness standpoints. The most challenging part of a visit to Eda’s is the decision making, as it’s tough to choose from 14 ices, 12 gelatos and any combination of the two.
