The four counter seats are convenient for watching your sundae being made, but aren't particularly comfortable.  But don't worry... there are big, plush booths in the back.

Go for a seat on a stool at the counter.  The employees are very nice and offer great suggestions, samples, and nice flavor combinations.  After you order, take a look around the perimeter of the counter where the dairy bar's more than thirty flavor offerings flank the walls.
