Sylas and Maddy’s

Sylas and Maddy’s originally opened in Lawrence, Kan. in 1997, then two years later they opened in Olathe, Kan. They are a family owned and operated business and offer over 70 different flavors of ice cream.

Sylas and Maddy’s is approximately a 15 minute drive from BVNW. Going there for the first time I had high hopes and right as I pulled into the parking lot, the place was packed.

At first I was very overwhelmed with all of the different options. They have everything from ‘Gold Dust’ to ‘Green Apple Sherbet’.

I felt very rushed by the workers and the line was very unorganized. The ice cream came in very large portions and was sweet, but the workers came off salty.  They didn’t seem to be very patient even though it was my first time there, but the ice cream was amazing.

In a rush I decided to try the cookie dough flavor. It was a heap of vanilla ice cream with cookie dough chunks scattered throughout the ice cream. I got a single scoop but it was way too much ice cream for me to finish.

The atmosphere of Sylas and Maddy’s feels like a stereotypical ice cream shop. I would recommend this place more as an adventure when looking for something different to try, not as a place to frequently visit.
