This shop had giant cinnamon rolls for $5.25 (original, apple, blueberry). We got apple and blueberry. They had basic coffee with cream and sugar for $3. Iced coffee with flavoring available. I was tempted to get a basic coffee but I'm sure flavors would have added up. Service was fast and generous. My mom asked about reheating and they offered a run through the toaster. We already had cookies so I suggested we saved eating the rolls for later. So next day I used our Ninja Duo Air fryer to "reheat mode" at 350° 3-5 mins on parchment paper and allow to cool. Pure Perfection!!

Got it with everything in it and it tasted surprisingly good! I think my friend May have hyped it up a little too much cause my expectations were high but it was pretty delicious especially for a hot summer day. The staff were friendly and quick with making my drink. Looking forward to trying some of their other stuff on the menu!

After spending far too much time looking at the menu and trying to decide what combination I should go with, I finally decided on a vanilla ice cream cone dipped in fruity pebbles and topped with marshmallows! The concoction I made was delicious, but honestly there are so many to choose from I don't think you can go wrong!

Simons Says Dip This was a bit of a miss for us. We might have gone on an off day - there was a…read moreheavy sewage smell inside which was immediately unappetizing and no A/C, but luckily it was a nice enough day to take our cones to go and eat outside. I was a bit surprised to find that the only ice cream base option was vanilla. However, there are a variety of cores (filling), dips, and toppings options to jazz it up. I went for chocolate dip, toffee topping, and espresso drizzle. It was honestly just okay. The ice cream quality rivaled a dipped cone you could get at Dairy Queen, especially because it comes on the basic sugar cone. Because it's a hard shell, it gets eaten pretty quickly before you finish all of the ice cream. Once the shell is gone, you're left with just plain vanilla ice cream. The concept is cool, but at nearly $10 for a dipped cone with toppings, it's underwhelming and overpriced.

Howling Cow Creamery is on part of NC State University's working dairy farm. The ice cream is…read moreproduced by the university. If you are looking for the nearby museum, that is the Randleigh Heritage Museum. It is a little further up the road, but appointments are usually required. Howling Cow has parking right outside, just watch the signs, as a few spots don't allow parking because of loading zones. Pets are not allowed, so leave them at home. Howling Cow sells ice cream, milk, sodas, water, cheese and other merchandise, such as clothing and water bottles, inside. The coolers are filled with to-go items, and there is even a separate check-out. If you are looking to enjoy your order there, you order at the register. They are a cashless facility, so remember your credit or debit card. You can get cones, cups, sundaes, and milkshakes. There are a few tables inside, and if you prefer to sit on the covered porch, there are tables and even some rocking chairs. The cows sometimes roam the pastures on cooler days. This visit, I went with the chocolate peanut butter ice cream brownie sundae. I wasn't expecting it to be so big and have as many of the toppings as it did. I couldn't finish it, but they had tops to put on it so you could take it to go. These were near where you pick up your order, so it's easy to grab one if you need one. If you are looking for quality ice cream with a variety of flavors in a peaceful setting, check out Howling Cow.

Line out the door but it moved very fast and after I ordered they scooped it so fast. My only complaint is that my friend got a milkshake (comes with whipped cream) and the worker making it used a rag to wipe excess whipped cream off the top of the cup lid. That rag had been used to clean the counter and was dropped on the ground. The other worker fixed it after we complained. But a reminder this place is run by college students haha!!

Also it's gives me a good excuse to take break from work. I tried a number of flavors - watermelon, rainbow, lemonade, raspberry, and peanut butter. I was a bit skeptical about peanut butter but it's so good especially with the peanut butter chunks in it! Very creamy also. Overall my favorite flavor is watermelon but all the other flavors are just as good and refreshing. Also the owner said if you plan to visit, you can text him your favorite flavor and will have it there for you. Definitely will keep that mind. If you want to check them out in Durham, head over to American Tobacco Campus at Burt's Bee Plaza on Fridays. Yum!

Those areas seem to be fly and pest riddle. That said, we ordered from a rotating menu. Which was one of the reasons that that Restaurant was chosen. You could order both breakfast and lunch entrées. I ordered a sausage egg and cheese biscuit which was advertised for $6.99. My final charge including gratuity was $15.47 Apparently everything was à la cart, which was never explained to me. I took at face value that what was printed on the menu would be the charge.. while I am quite familiar with a gratuity charge which I had no problem with. I am not used to a gratuity chart being added to what would be à la carte. I will never go there again. The biscuit was hard, huge and hard.. I only ate half of it and brought the other half home along with one of the biscuits that was initially brought out to the table. I'm not sure what other African-American experiences have been, but I can spend my money other places for a sad is prior to end during the pandemic. I would often meet clients and form a coworkers there for breakfast. Enjoy every bit of it. Maybe it's changed Management not sure the only thing I am sure about is that I won't go again..
