There's not a lot of nostalgia here -- unless you remember great homemade ice cream. Moxley's has '90s style (pale blue walls with writing on them, mirrors and marble-topped tables) and hot music (Ricky Martin). But what has the customers lining out the door is the homemade ice cream. How do flavors like cantaloupe, ghost white chip, coconut, banana, eggnog and coffee chocolate chip sound? Moxley's basics are fine, too. As owner Tom Washburn says, "Half of it is coming up with new flavors, and half of it is just doing the strawberry right."

Unfortunately, one of the new flavors he's come up with is jalapeno, mostly to prove this is truly made-on-the-premises ice cream. "No chain will ever carry jalapeno," he jokes.

Try Moxley's mint chocolate chip milkshake next time you're stressed out. It's a great tranquilizer. And note those chocolate chips -- they taste better than a gourmet chocolate bar.
