Pepio’s Cool Treats

Hot food and cool treats await patrons of the newly opened Pepio’s eatery in the Clarksville Crossing Center on Ten Oaks Road just off Route 108, in Clarksville.

Owners Gene and Jenny Park whip up some of the yummiest cool treats on the planet. Mango Italian Ice is created with fresh mango. Add a dollop of old-fashioned frozen custard and you have an out-of-this-world delight.

“If somebody comes here one time, they will come again,” Gene Park said.

I think he’s right. He also noted the outdoor dining patio, shaded in the afternoon. Come relax and chat with friends or sit alone inside with the paper or other reading material.

The shop features more than cool treats. There are homemade soups, salads, sandwiches, speciality coffees, teas and more. Even the hummus is homemade.

Pepio’s is open for breakfast, lunch, supper and snacks Mon-Thur from 7 a.m.-8 p.m., Fri 7 a.m.-9 p.m. and Sat. 8 a.m.-9 p.m. You can call in your order at 410-531-7182.
