Subject: Childrens book about an ice cream parlor where they scoop the "perfect" scoop

I am looking for a children's book from my childhood where that is set in an ice cream parlor and the man scoops the "perfect" ice cream cone.

Little Store on the Corner by Alice Miller
This is the story of a kind man who runs the kids' favorite ice cream store -- he gives out free toys, and is generous with the ice cream and peanuts. One day his son comes home from college, and takes over the store -- skimping on the ice cream, toys, and the fun -- because that is what they taught him in business school. At first the kids boycott the store, then, feeling bad, teach him how to run the store as a store, and not necessarily a business. Overall a kind story, with simple, fun illustrations.
