"A Nickel Cone and A Nickel Coke Please" and nutmeg on the cone" Thank You

Yesterday to kill a little time waiting to show a condo I stopped by Murray's Ice Cream Shoppe in Westport. At first I was heading to Sonic just to get an ice cream cone, then remembered Murray's. After $5.24 cents later I had 1 dip of Brownie/English Walnut ice cream in a waffle cone! That is about $4.00 more than Sonic's vanilla ice cream cone and $5.00 and 14 cents more than the Dairy Queen in the late 1950's when Dad would load all of us kids (and the neighborhood kids) up in the '53 Chrylser and take us to the Dairy Queen on Cherry Street, just 1 block off the square. He gave each of us a dime and we each placed our own order! Those were our "Happy Days!"

Operating in the same crevasse of Westport for 20 years makes Murray’s Ice Cream & Cookies an absolute institution in KC. Owner, Murray Nixon, still makes all of the ice cream in the shop by hand. Try her signature flavor Chocolate Flake Fromage and taste cream cheese flavored ice cream with flakes of chocolate chips throughout. A single dip cone is around $2. Other favorites are One Drunk Monk (chocolate, Frangelico, hazelnut) and Lemon Sorbet. Her flavors change daily, and she offers handmade cookies, ice cream sandwiches and Brown or Black Cows. Come when the sun goes down and see families, art students and neighborhood groupies all sitting outside together enjoying a collective creamy group hug. CLOSED: during the winter months, December-February, when open hours are Wednesdays-Sundays 12:00 noon to 10:30 pm.
