Mama Loca’s is my new favorite place to go on date night with my son. We grab the chess set and head to downtown Sanford. We don’t worry about getting strange looks; here patrons are encouraged to play. There are lots of games available for customers, and plenty of space to play them with lots of seating and a large arts and crafts area.
While, the ambiance is great, we really go for the ice cream. It is homemade and delicious! There are other items on the menu if you are, dare I say it, not an ice cream lover. I am not a coffee drinker, but I have heard the lattes are the best in town.
While you are there you can peruse the earth friendly gifts like: Poo Poo paper, made from recycled elephant poo, The Fuzz that Wuzz stuffed animals, or fair trade string dolls.
Dine in customers are served with reusable bowls, glasses and spoons. Should you need them, take-out containers are all biodegradable disposables. They recycle too.
I’d like to say go to Mama Loca’s just to support a local green business, but the truth is Aggie’s Delight that keeps me coming back. Named after one of their customers, it is an irresistible combination of vanilla ice cream, chocolate chunks, and waffle cones. Next time you are in Sanford stop in a try a sample.
