A Delicious Hangout Spot
Just like many of the stores and hangout places located in Bowling Green, Marble Slab Creamery exudes a feeling of coziness. The ice cream shop has the set up of a small café with patio furniture just outside the front entrance and round-topped tables for two on the inside. Upon entering, one is almost overwhelmed with the available choice of ice cream desserts, flavors, and “mixins,” an item such as candy or fruit that gets mixed into the ice cream. The counter where one places orders is set up in the style that lets customers watch employees scoop and prepare the delicious ice cream treats. Prices are moderate, and it is located on Main Street, so it is easy to get to. The menu board is huge which is a testament to how many choices the customer has. There are also an assortment of glass jars filled with ice cream toppings that line the ceiling above the ordering counter.

Price is a big factor that many people take into account before they purchase an item. For the stereotypically broke college student, price is definitely a concern when hanging out.

Marble Slab Creamery can boast about both of these qualities, yet it is still reasonably priced. A small cup of ice cream with one mixin is about four dollars. One can also purchase more expensive desserts from Marble Slab like birthday cakes. On average cakes cost $17.00 for a small and $23.00 for a large.
