    Cotton Candy Waffle Bowl
    Nathan N.

    Went here on Sunday night. It was PACKED! And for good reason, the ice cream was excellent. There was a manager or maybe the owner out front making sure any questions were answered. I have a peanut allergy and ordered a Cotton Candy Shake. After a few minutes I was informed that due to how busy they were they couldn't guarantee a peanut-free environment for the shake, and offered to replace with ice cream. I appreciate that gesture a lot. Stone Ridge was missing an ice cream place and this is the perfect addition to our community.

    Came here during a busy hour and the line was so long. Luckily you can order online and they'll have it ready in around 5-10m from my experience. Quality ice cream, nice sized scoops, and the waffle cone is yummy. I don't normally get ice cream but if I ever crave for it then I'm coming back here.

    Great ice cream! I went on the first day they opened. While waiting in line, the manager was going around and asking if anyone had any questions or needed help. I asked for flavor recommendations and they recommended Graham Central Station. I tried that one along with horchata. I'll be honest, it didn't have much flavor for me. I have been a few times so far and tried a few flavors but I will say horchata is my absolute favorite flavor. Also, the brownie sundae is AMAZING! I enjoy their outdoor seating area with umbrellas to shield you from the sun. They are a little pricey, but overpaying for ice cream on a hot summer day is honestly worth it lol. Will be returning so many times this summer!

The negatives in this particular location are that the place lacks a grill. You can't order much of anything off the menu. The meal-based items are limited and without a grill, there's even less "wiggle room" in your ordering options. In addition, this spot has few choices in birthday celebration sweets as well. In other words, plan to visit for the sundaes and blizzards. However, they do get that right. I've found the staff polite and eager to please. My orders are tasty - keeping in mind, this isn't elegant or fancy fare. The shop itself is clean. The place is small though, so thankfully it's generally not terribly crowded. There is a small outdoor seating option also. If you're in the area and craving DQ, I'd recommend it. Plus, there are also multiple dining options, a Harris Teeter and a Walgreens all in the same parking lot, making it convenient to be productive while being naughty at the same time.

    BLUF: BR has been around for a long, long time, so it has a special place in my heart as far as ice…read morecream goes. That being said, this location lacks in well-trained, knowledgeable staff. Menu items are rather pricey but a better deal if you have the BR app. It's nice having a local ice cream joint in the hood, but their products haven't wowed my eyes & the service has been painfully slow & awkward. I totally understand this review is coming soon after this location was first opened. It's within their first year. However, just because it's a new location doesn't mean that staff should be put on the line without adequate training. That speaks completely about management & experience... and well, really caring about the quality of one's goods & services. It's not usually the fault of staff when they don't know how to make a milkshake or a sundae. That staff are put on the line before they've been given the tools to succeed all while not caring about the customer's experience is directly due to the poor training & education they've received. If management hasn't equipped staff with the skills to answer product questions well, or quickly make what they've ordered, or not leave customers standing there not knowing what's going on with their order, then that's a lesson they better learn FAST. Just because you've purchased a franchise doesn't mean it's all wind-up & leave it while the money rolls in. Poor service & attention to product quality will drain this location eventually. Nevermind that it's a storefront containing two well-known national brands. Big names fall, too. The quality of Dunkin' Donuts has really declined over the years, and I won't even buy one of their donuts in this area anymore. They're just not worth the money. But ice cream... it's a popular delightful treat. Although, in a neighborhood where most people have pints or quarts of equally good mass produced ice cream in their freezers, this local BR better quick step to the best customer experience that will make them rise to the top rather than becoming a last resort for ice cream. Is BR high on my list for ice cream? Nope. Is it a treat I may occasionally purchase with a coupon? Maybe. Will I go because my last few experiences have been stellar? No way.

    I've been shopping at Harris Teeter since 2020 because of the convenience to my neighborhood. The…read morestore is often very clean and well kept. That was an easy draw for me. I have had a consistent issue with the fruit section. Specifically the red grapes and strawberries. Although this is my first time writing a review, I have been tempted to return the product on several occasions. Last night, my wife and I wanted fruit to compliment our dinner. After looking at the selection and not finding a flaw, I decided on Good4U Bi Color Seedless Grapes and Mathis Farms Strawberries Fraises. I heard my wife scream as she opened the container to find mold covering the red grapes (including the stem). If that wasn't enough, she found molded strawberries just under the ripe ones across the top. This is easily becoming habit forming because I have ran into this time and time again. Your competitor a few blocks away isn't any better so I choose HT. Do I need to now travel to Wegmans to get fresh, edible fruit? What can be done to better my experience so that I can continue being a valued customer? Prices of food are high enough as it is. I want to not put my family at risk by eating molded produce. Thank you for your attention to this matter. On a lighter note. I always have the best customer service experience with manager Tom who assisted me last evening and (Maria?) the cashier. She's a young brunette. She's always cheerful and knows how to bag properly. Great customer service on both fronts. *Pictures are available upon request* Vincent

The parking lot is always packed, as well as the store itself. At night, it is extremely dark in the parking lot....not sure why they don't have more lighting. They have unique offerings that the other locations don't have, such as a small bar, a hot food bar (regular food & Asian food), but they aren't always 100% full when we come. They also have the pizza station, which is offered at other locations. This location doesn't always seem to be stocking their shelves the last couple times we visited. There's a Starbucks inside the store, which is also insanely busy with long lines.
