A woman and a young girl are standing at an ice cream shop called Makers & Bakers Co. in a shopping area. The shop has a colorful striped awning, and there are signs advertising banana pudding and cinnamon rolls. Outside, clothing and other items are displayed for sale, and there is a stroller with a bag next to it.
