I just moved to the area and was craving some ice cream on a Sunday, when it seems like so many…read moreplaces are closed; and I am SO glad I found Sugar Grinders Creamery & Bakery! This place is absolutely adorable and right in the heart of downtown Franklinton. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. They even took the time to tell me about different events happening around the area, which I really appreciated as someone new to the community. And it's definitely more than just ice cream! They have baked goods, shakes, hot dogs, and plenty of sweet treats to choose from. Cute atmosphere, great treats, and genuinely wonderful people. Exactly the kind of small local business I love finding and supporting. Sugar Grinders has officially made my "go-to" list. I'll definitely be back!

Pricing is decent and there is a cool sitting area inside or a few benches outside along the sidewalk for your sitting pleasure. Today, I did the cookie dough milkshake and it was delicious! Last week I had a banana split, with is pricey but massive - I couldn't even finish the whole thing! The customer service was good both times. They also have specials on soft served cone ice creams on Sunday's too I think. They have about 8-10 different flavors from what I saw. The flavor I need to sample next time is called "exhausted parent"- lol

Wendell NC is a lovely small authentic NC town which consists of several small shall shops, mainly…read morebars and restaurants. One of those special small little shops is the creative cone, a family-owned frozen dessert business focused on delivering something deliciously unique to main street. Unlike DQ or any convenience store, the ice cream is small batch more delicious than any big box brand. The ideal ice cream shop goes beyond serving delicious frozen treats; it creates an immersive experience that delights customers through visual appeal, enticing aromas, high-quality ingredients, and friendly service. It becomes a place where customers can create cherished memories while indulging in their favorite frozen delights, and this is the focus of the creative cone. The creative cone brings a "build a bear" experience in the form of frozen desserts. They can build a cake or even flavor a soft serve and deliver it in a freshly baked waffle cone with all the fix-ins, without breaking a sweat. Wendell is lucky to have the creative cone, Cheers!

He didn't want the flavor that they had, so he settled for a Mango Lemonade shaved ice instead. I didn't want anything, BUT the Mickey Mouse Oreo brownie sundae caught my eye.

I would definitely visit them again. My son loved his shaved ice with added Sour Patch candy.

The shop is pretty sterile and uninteresting. Feels more like a pretend this third-wave coffee shop than an ice cream parlor. And the staff is understandably disinterested. Engaged enough to get you an ice cream, but not what I'd call friendly. I'll probably give Lunpy's ice cream truck a try next time I'm in Wake Forest and craving ice cream.
