While most experiences are positive, a few reviews mention inconsistencies in portion sizes for items like ice cream swirls.

"My #1 spot in Palmer for a good strong coffee that has a rich aftertaste like Kaladi’s. All others have disappointed me!"

Rina

"Total disappointment today. I like to get a medium (4twist swirl) with two shots of espresso for the long drive home to the copper river valley.

This was my first one of the season. She said oh yea… this the four swirl… we have a timer and count the swirls and everything.

Literally less then half the ice cream from years past! This place was always good… but this will be the last time i go there, i even left a 30% tip… wouldn’t have if the product would have been delivered before hand."

Space Command

"My first stop was the Dairy Queen. It was so nasty I walked right out... My wife pointed across the street and told me that they had ice cream. We went over there and had a great experience. The staff was very friendly and did a great job preparing our orders. I had a malted vanilla shake and it was delicious."
