For my wife and I, this has truly been the summer of Ice Cream for us. We have been to so many ice creams places this summer that it’s hard to keep track of them all. We have been going to the AMC at Concord Mills a lot more lately and have been to plenty of the restaurants in the area, so when we saw a new Ice Cream place was coming, we were very interested.
I drove up thinking it would be a regular run of the mill Ice Cream place, but boy was I sorely mistaken. It’s a coffee house mixed with an ice cream shop, with a splash of chocolate desserts to bring it all in. I was pleasantly surprised and felt like a 10 year old again looking at the different chocolates.
I glanced at the menu and for whatever reason, my eyes locked onto “brownie sandwich” and I couldn’t focus on anything else, mentally or physically. The brownies are about 5-6 inches by 3 inches. So, a good size. They split it in half and put a scoop of ice cream in between it. Just the thought of it alone was almost too much to handle. I was in too deep at this point and had to go hard or go home.
I ordered the M&M brownie with the Vanilla Fudge Ice Cream that had, more M&M’s in it. I was headed to M&M town fast without any breaks. But, I didn’t care at all, I wanted to crash all into this brownie sandwich. Little did I know they would warm the brownie first. I was going to face smash in it regardless, but that little touch right there made the experience much more enjoyable.
The ice cream was creamy and the brownie was wonderful. It was the best brownie/ice cream combo I’ve ever had. It felt like a first crush, cause I couldn’t stop thinking about it and I smiled every time it crossed my mind.
In all seriousness, please go to this place. I can’t wait to try more of their chocolates...
Read moreThe only reason I knew this place existed was I saw a sign on 485. I tried finding it several times for months to no avail so I finally asked Google Maps. Yes guys do use maps. It's behind several other shops in a back corner. I would have never went that far back without Google.
Walking in I got a trying to be retro upscale vibe. I found the.display cases with an assortment of truffles, macaroons, small cakes, and "fancy doughnuts" called Kronuts. And another case for ice cream. Along with coffees and teas.
There were no prices listed except for the ice cream. This is a huge turnoff to me and normally I walk out the door when I can't find a price. The old addage "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" but I decided to give it a chance. I got a coffee and one of the Kronuts. If you've never had one (I had the apple pie one, which was a cross between a pie and doughnut). In my estimation it's several stacks of Philo dough stacked high to create a large doughnut, then fried and topped with a cubed apple compote and half a cup of cinnamon sugar. The coffee was beautiful, perfect flavor with latte art.
The staff was so friendly and explained everything. I could have a regular coffee or tea, one of their craft signature drinks or make my own. They also sold local can beer.
Service was great but honestly $13:is too much for a coffee and single doughnut.
They also offer meeting space which I couldn't find because all the small tables were being used by people on laptops so I don't see how anyone could have a meeting there.
Overall a really lovely staff and great coffee but after paying $13, I expected a lot more that wasn't there. Check one up for "been there, done that" but not a place I would...
Read moreI’ve been a regular at this coffee/ice cream shop for months, and it truly is my favorite spot in town! Initially, I used to come here alone, but now I bring everyone along – my coworkers, mall management, my roommate, friends, and even my boyfriend. I visit multiple times a day, and I have no regrets!
The atmosphere here is amazing, and the place is always spotlessly clean. The baristas and owners are some of the friendliest and sweetest people you’ll ever meet. They make everyone feel welcome and part of the community.
I’ve even made some wonderful friends here, with Abby being one of the best. The strong AC and Wi-Fi make it a perfect place to hang out, work, or just relax. The other regulars are also fantastic and add to the welcoming vibe of the place.
One of the highlights is their summer menu, which features a latte that has become my all-time favorite. I honestly can’t get enough of it – if it’s not coffee from here, I don’t want it!
They host a variety of events like bingo nights, karaoke nights, classes, and there’s an upcoming trivia night that I can’t wait to check out. Their Instagram content is hilarious and keeps me entertained between visits.
I’ve even started collecting their merchandise – so far, I have a t-shirt and a mug, but I’m definitely planning to get more.
This place is also great for groups. Sometimes I come alone, but other times I host a small Bible study here, and it’s always the perfect setting.
If you’re looking for a fantastic coffee/ice cream shop with a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, great events, and a wonderful community, this is the place to be....
