🍓 Strawberry season has arrived at The Counter on King!

Our Strawberry Shortcake is back Thursday through Saturday and it’s everything summer should be. Made from scratch with local strawberries picked fresh daily, a tender house-made shortcake, and real whipped cream whipped fresh to order.

No shortcuts. No frozen topping. Just simple, delicious ingredients coming together one dessert at a time.

Available while strawberries last. Come enjoy one on the patio or take one home for later. ☀️🍓
