Lagoon Ice Cream

We are located right in the middle of Patel Nagar West, specifically at the Old Market 20/40. It’s a busy spot and sometimes the traffic makes it hard to park, but people still find their way to our door. Inside, you’ll hear the constant hum of the large chest freezers we keep pushed against the back wall. We have been here for a while now, serving different flavors to the local families who walk over after their dinner. The floor is made of old white tiles that we try to keep clean, though there is usually a sticky spot somewhere near the counter where a kid dropped a cone. We don’t have fancy seating, just a few stools that wobble a bit if you sit on them the wrong way. The lights are a little bright, maybe too bright, but they help us see everything clearly when we’re scooping out the tubs at the end of a long shift. Most days are just about keeping the stock organized and making sure the lids are on tight so the ice cream doesn’t get those little ice crystals on top. It gets really hot in the afternoons, and that’s when the shop gets crowded with teenagers from the nearby schools. We just keep our heads down, scoop the flavors they ask for, and try to keep the line moving. It isn’t much to look at from the outside, but it’s our space and we know where everything is.
