• I did not even know that Gimmee Jimmy's Cookie Bar sells ice cream till I stopped in their shop on Church St. last week. Their chocolate ice cream is to die for as well as being Kosher! I couldn't believe it. – Sarah Goldberg, Urbanspoon
• I love this place. the people who work there are funny and really nice, and they make the place feel real and casual and like a family business. Plus, they have those sugar-free and gluten free ones, so it's diabetic and ciliac friendly! – Melanie Barrios, Urbanspoon
