Ice cream makes everything better. Homestead Creamery is down the road from Kroger…read more The creamery has lots of home made treats. There are lots of ice cream flavors, milk, baked goods and produce. There are sandwiches and other items available. You can sample the ice cream before purchasing. The seasonal pumpkin was good. The crunchy lemon is strong and great. My favorite flavor is banana. Grocery stores carry some of the flavors. Customers can also purchase any flavor in the store and have it packed into a pint container. The gift shop area has a nice selection of souvenirs and toys. The shirt selection is minimal. The weather was nice so we ate outside. This is the perfect place to have a treat.

Everything is made with the freshest ingredients that are homegrown and locally sourced. I had high expectations for their ice cream after reading so many stellar reviews, and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed! There was a huge line when I came in the afternoon, but the employees were fast and efficient. They have a variety of flavors to choose from: classics, fruit-infused, savory, seasonal. I wanted to try something new so I tried the Key Lime Pie flavor in a small cup ($4.99). It was sooo creamy and tasted exactly like the pie- tangy and sweet! I also loved that it had bits of graham cracker in it. They have a decent amount of outdoor seating, but it gets crowded very quickly. Don't forget to check out their products! They sell their own ice cream in pints + quarts, milk, baking ingredients, pastries, sauces, etc. I live in NJ and I found out that they sell some of their products in Wegmans and Whole Foods (select locations)... I'm grateful for that :)

They are working on finding a business location but will meet up with you once you order. Their service is excellent and they schedule a time and local pickup. It is worth it, but looking forward to seeing them with a shop window so the rest of Roanoke can see what they are all about. Their customer service sets the bar for any other bakery in Roanoke and beyond. In short - they are wonderful! Forget any other cake - make your birthday, anniversary or other special event cake a Betty & Veronica's Cheesecake! They have a full menu with plenty of exquisite choices on their Facebook page! The best desserts in Roanoke! You MUST give them a call! Tell them Tom sent you!

Regarding their cupcakes, the cake is so moist and icing absolutely perfect. I tried a slice of their Little Italy cake with the cannoli on top and it is out of this world. My husband had a chocolate chip cookie sandwich with cookie dough filling that he said was delicious. The ladies behind the counter were super kind and helpful. Their shop is so beautiful and unique. They even offer dog bakery items! I'm glad I don't live too close to this bakery or else I'd be stopping in every day and gain 100lbs! Counting down the days until I can come back!

Surrounded by windows in almost all sides, it attracts the attention of those walking by as well as repeat customers who have already been through that initial experience. I am one of the second type. This is not my first time here, but the first time writing a review because I want the public to know about this fantastic place where sweet treasures can be discovered and enjoyed. The first impression when you walk in, is of how clean and organized the store is. Besides the great variety of sweet items neatly arranged, you can find the walls decorated with many artworks of many kinds and you can listen to relaxing music in the background. But this didn't just happen, a young lady and gentleman both are working arduesly bringing out the fresh cupcakes and arranging them neatly in their place. They warmly greet me and allow me to keep looking at all the items until I'm ready to make an order. While I continue looking, other customers with more experience and knowledge of the store and items come right in and order and take the items. They wrap everything so nicely that any of the items here can be bought and given as a gift to someone close. While the young man went to answer the phone, the young lady answers my question of if they still had the large cookie sandwiches that a good friend of mine and I bought last time I was here. She answers me in the affirmative and takes out a pan full of them with a transparent wrap covering them up. These things are not cheap but the taste is priceless. I ordered a couple of cookie sandwiches: one with dark chocolate and one with white chocolate. She nicely wrapped them and put them in a nice box bag with handles. I highly recommend this place when you're in the mood for something sweet or would like to buy something sweet as a gift for someone or bring something as a gift to a dinner invitation. All their dessert are amazingly delicious.

I visited the restaurant last Saturday while touring the Factory Expo Center…read more I ordered the Catfish dinner with the two sides. To be honest, I thought I did not have enough food as I only received one filet versus the two filets I am used to. It turned out the portions were more than enough, and I had plenty left for leftovers. Notice the size of the filet. The food was very tasty and seasoned right. The sweet tea was so good I ordered 3 glasses. The carrot cake concluded a wonderful evening of eating. The service is great and wholesome, and the restaurant was very clean, and I enjoyed the oldie but goodies Soul and R&B music playing in the restaurant. It is highly recommended you go there and try the food.

Every single bite was delicious. No shortcuts, just real home-style goodness. Definitely coming back. Mama Sarah's isn't just a meal -- it's an experience.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of ordering from here again. I don't really want to fault the employees for anything because they're just teenagers trying to make money, but for some reason, they didn't fill my cup the entire way which was annoying since I'm already paying over $6 for this. My main complaint is with whatever they use to make the drinks. I ordered the plain milk tea because I remember I didn't like the Thai tea last time. They honestly both tasted the same--sweetened milk with no other real flavor. The boba was also weirdly flavored although it was supposed to be brown sugar, and several of them were harder than the rest. Overall, this place is poorly managed, and I'm sure you could make better boba at home.

Staff were helpful and friendly. Christian music on the radio and scripture on the wall which I loved.

Worth $25. I didn't try the coffee since it was later in the day but they sell Red Rooster which is a very popular local brand. Well done.

The girl behind the counter was very nice and pleasant to speak with. I highly recommend giving Rookies a try.

I first reviewed Rookie's (Handcrafted Ice Cream Sandwiches) when it opened at the Patrick Henry…read moreHistoric building in Downtown Roanoke; just across the street from the Social Security building and the Roanoke Public Library - Downtown Branch. I did so after having visited it several times, having had their ice-cream and homemade cookies, and having talked to and interviewed their store employees as well as their truck driver who brings their ice-cream and cookie dough from Lynchburg, Virginia. Now that Rookie's has relocated from their Downtown Roanoke store to Cave Springs, at 3549 Electric Rd, Suite D, I have decided to visit their new location, and write an update review. I urge all the readers to this review to also go back and read my first review and accompanied photographs to learn more about the history of the company. For Rookie's is more than just an Ice Cream Parlor. It's a place where desserts and friends meet to create something memorable. Their employees are encouraged to establish conversations with their customers and answer questions about their company and their products. And their comfortable ambiance and seating area contribute to the enjoyment and extraordinary sweet dining experience while people socialize with family and friends, and share quality time with them. The new location is more family-friendly and has more parking than their previous location. The residents of Cave Springs have welcomed Rookie's with open arms and have become steady customers in a relatively short period of time. I was impressed to find out that it is located in thr same Shopping Center as Cafe Asia 2 Restaurant, one of my favorites Asian Restaurants. Rookie's continues to offer different flavors of cookies, homemade ice cream, and signature ice cream sandwiches, in a clean and simple interior design relaxing environment, and with excellent customer service from their warm, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. Today I visited the new location with a friend and both of us interacted with the servers and had ice-cream sandwiches. Mine was Mint Chocolate Chip cookies with Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. The combination of the two made the perfect sweet snack or dessert. During the time we were there chatting and enjoying our ice-cream sandwich, we saw many other customers come in and do the same. It seems that Rookie's made a great strategic move for a win win situation between the company and its customers. A quote from the owner of the community I feel best describes it best: "We believe that community is built on a foundation of celebrating something good and we believe our handcrafted ice cream sandwiches. Ice cream, cookies & milk will bring you together! We're all about the memories made and the nostalgia we hope you feel whenever you tuck in to a treat with friends and family." All of Rookie's ice cream is handcrafted in Lynchburg, and they offer vegan and gluten-free options. Rookie's hopes to continue expanding to other locations, with some customers even asking for a location in North Carolina. I highly recommend this business and its products, and consider it one of the City of Roanoke's gem.
