Anything Goes Deli in Gallows Bay recently started offering locals a stateside experience in ice cream. Anything Goes Deli co-owner Roushedia Liburd said she and co-owner Julie Printy started serving ice cream mixed on a cold marble slab because she liked the method during her travels to Florida, New Hampshire and Canada.

Liburd said she wanted to be able to enjoy the ice cream more than once a year when she travels to the states and brought it to the island.

The ice cream and the mixings are easily combined without melting on the slab, which lays on top of a freezer.

“You pick your flavors and mixings, and we mix it right there in front of you,” Liburd said. They serve Edy’s and Island Dairies ice cream in flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, black cherry, espresso chip, orange sherbert, raspberry sorbet and birthday cake, she said.

The mixings include Oreos, Cameos, M&M’s, Nutter Butters, bananas, blueberries, pistachios, peanuts, almonds, sprinkles and more.

She describes the sandwiches they serve in the deli as “local with a twist” with daily specials.

Liburd bought the 19-year-old deli from the previous owners four years ago.

During the summer the business is open on Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. From October to May they extend their hours to 6 p.m. They are always closed on Sundays.
