"My family and I went for our very 1st time yesterday and it was amazing. Not only was the ice-cream good, the lady and her son that work there were wonderful people. We talked and had a good time like we have known her for years, not to mention my baby (1 year old) loved her as well and let her hold her I couldn't say enough about her, I just loved her. Just her, herself will bring everyone back! I definitely give it a 10/10"

The prices were great for the huge portions! The two ladies working were very friendly as well! The interior is small but nicely decorated. Can't wait to come back and try their cakes!"

"Absolutely fabulous. This was a great find as we were driving back to Charlotte. The family that owns this is very friendly and made us feel at home right away. The ice cream was all very good. You get a lot for the price and even though it says 1 scope it’s a BIG scoop. We will be back and bring our friends. Thank you for the great ice cream. There are outdoor setting options.
