Hand-Scooped Ice Cream
The kind of scoop that doesn't come from a soft-serve machine. Served by the cone or cup, with enough flavors to require a second look at the board.
Approx. from $3Ice Cream & Urban Market — 2 Main St, Cape Girardeau, MO
Downtown Cape Girardeau has seen a lot come and go. Green's Garden sits at 2 Main Street — a proper urban market with real ice cream, holding the corner the way a good market should.
About the market
There's a particular kind of place that earns its address — one that doesn't need a sign out front to tell you it belongs there. Green's Garden is that place. Planted at the corner of 2 Main Street in Cape Girardeau, it sits where foot traffic thickens: between the people heading somewhere and the ones who've already arrived.
Part urban market, part ice cream shop, the operation runs on the logic of a well-stocked produce stand that decided it also needed a freezer. The goods are real, the scoops are cold, and the address — right on Main — makes it a natural stopping point in a city that rewards wandering.
Cape Girardeau's downtown strip has been finding its footing for years. Green's Garden is one of the anchors doing the work quietly, without fanfare, in the way that lasting neighborhood institutions tend to.

By itemAt 2 Main Street, the real offering is the address itself — walkable from everywhere in Cape Girardeau's downtown, easy to find, harder to pass by.
