Daughter’s Soft Serve

Daughter’s Soft Serve is a family-owned, chef-driven soft-serve shop on North Main Street in downtown Wendell. Chris and Lauren Gass, who also own Bellow Butcher Co. next door, named it for their two daughters. The shop took over the space that once held the Creative Cone ice cream shop.

The menu has classic vanilla, chocolate and dairy-free vanilla, plus a seasonal flavor. Each cone can get a core, a filling placed down the center of the swirl, and a dip, a hard shell that sets around the soft serve. Toppings run from sprinkles to Biscoff and eclair crumble.
