The owner, Aurora, is a long-time Bridgeport resident and is super sweet. Aurora is very friendly and knows everyone who walks into her shop; she has a beautiful way of making each person feel like family.
Susan's go-to: The hotdog (fully loaded, jalapenos on the side), and the peach, vanilla, or pineapple yogilato. Flavors change by season, but you can't go wrong!
