First the good - it was awesome to find a spot with vegan oat ice cream that wasn't a sherbet…read more We topped it with hot fudge and it was perfect. The blended sundae with brownies was great. The bad - no adults on sight and the kids running the place didn't quite fit the family establishment model. Short short shorts, cussing and dropping bombs, and just goofing around taking longer time than necessary. Management needed.

If you're looking for a frozen treat that feels like a cozy hug in a cup, the Maple Nut Goodie…read morecustard at Whit's is it. Rich maple flavor meets crunchy, buttery nuts in a blend that's nostalgic and indulgent all at once. It's sweet without being overpowering, and the texture is smooth and creamy--exactly what you'd expect from Whit's signature custard. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the shop has that small-town charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this flavor is a must-try. It's a perfect seasonal pick that tastes like fall in every bite.

You'll also find seasonal items that are reflective of the berries, apples, and fruits harvested in Western North Carolina throughout the year. They have an small staff that is usually very friendly and attentive. Whether you're in town for a weekend getaway or an extended period of time you'll feel like a local when you walk in. Make sure to check their hours and days to make sure they're open, as they are closed for a few days every week. So plan according! ; ) One of our favorite loyalty programs is their old school punch card for Lattes that seem to rotate flavors on a daily basis. After you get to 10 or so they'll give you a free one, which is a fun incentive in our family for sure! Guten Appetit!

We were walking around downtown Brevard and stopped by this small town bakery. We got a peach…read moredanish, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, and treats for our pup. We enjoyed the peach danish, but the cookie left for more to be desired, just not something I would get again. Our dog loved his treats - but know they are definitely on the very hard and crunchy side if your dog is particular about their treats. I recommend if you are in the area by stopping by this cute bakery.

I was out and about and saw that Karolina Kremes was open and I could go thru the drive thru…read more Wanting to treat myself after a hot pickleball outing, I ordered a mint milkshake. WoW!! It was one of the best I have ever had! Not kidding, really. They had a lot of ice cream flavors and burgers and hot dogs too. I went back the next day to get a cup of vanilla for my pup who was a good boy at the vet. I had to have a taste of that too and it was also delicious. Will be going back again. Their hours are 11 - 7 so be sure to go by. You won't be dissapointed. Lois Chumbley

YUM!!! The Dairy…read moreBar was the cure for what ailed ya after a hike in the Pisgah National Forest. They have A LOT of ice cream flavors - anything from vanilla, chocolate, mint chocolate chip, peanut butter, cookies 'n' cream, butter pecan, etc., etc. and they have several sundae options. If you can't find something here, you don't like ice cream! The Dairy Bar is located next to a gas station, and is very small so you'll have to look for it. It would be best to look for the 2-3 rainbow-colored umbrellas over picnic tables. There are only a few parking spaces, and a few chairs and picnic tables. We saw some folks simply eat in their cars. Delicious! Definitely stop here if you're in the area!
