I am glad they are opening up but...could they have come up with a better name?
City Kidz Icecream just does not sound right when they offer crab cake sandwiches, shrimp cocktail, etc...
None the less...we will be there for the opening.

[CMG22]

How incredibly odd!  I'll be curious to see reviews as I'll be out of town during its grand opening...

[thelakelander]

There was a pretty decent turnout for today's grand opening.  For those who like Maryland crabcake, try the crabcake sandwich.  Its pretty good.  Here are a few images taken around lunch time.

About City Kidzâ,,¢ Ice Cream

City Kidzâ,,¢ Ice Cream Café LLC was founded in 2006, by Pastor Clinton Bush, CEO of Clinton Bush Ministries, with his business partner and brother Anthony B. Miles, CEO of New Dimensions Development LLC.  The two founders developed business systems and solutions for ice cream cafés with certain vendors in order to build an enterprise dedicated to fostering financial literacy in inner city communities.

For this week, bring paper money -- credit card processing won't be avail for a couple of days. I had the crab cake sandwich and some ice cream yesterday. All the food was good and the service was friendly and excellent. I'll give kudos to the owner who also was aware enough to change the TV from Law & Order to Bug's Life when I rolled in with my juniors...

[mtraininjax]

Looks like a cool place, the paper did a nice write-up on them today. For those of us who still get a paper and read it. But, they had better be careful with all that cash, the neighborhood thugs could come knocking without more police presence.

[hooplady]

So their website says that a cafe opened in early 2007 in Jax...there's another one that opened already?

Wow, Maryland Crab Cakes, Kosher Baked Goods and Cuban Coffee.  They're really ambitious - and diverse!

they think are women in revealing haltertops and short shorts

We talkin' trannys?
