I think the price point was about the same as The Mix, but you get the added experience of watching your ice cream get made from scratch. So, what does ice cream made to order taste like? The consensus at our table was that it the ice cream itself was less sweet than we expected. I preferred the slightly less sweet, more natural taste. Gram would have liked it to be a little sweeter. That said, she was tasting MC's vanilla ice cream that had no mix-ins. Alina's ice cream was cookie dough and twix flavored and I think the additional mix-ins made her taste much sweeter. I think everyone was pleasantly surprised by the texture. It was VERY creamy. The quick freezing process minimizes crystallization, so you're tasting pure melt-in-your-mouth frozen cream. All in all, this was a fun treat and a must do next time you're in downtown Valdosta!

You just order from the front porch, but there is an outdoor covered picnic area if you want to eat it there. We walked up and when my son saw the desserts, he said "I just drooled!" I looked down and that boy legit drooled on the porch or The Front Porch (I'll spare you a picture.) When Mrs. Lisa opened the window and told us what everything was, we didn't know how we would choose, and my son said "We'll have one of everything!" While we didn't get one of everything we may or may not have gotten a chocolate chip cookie, a cupcake, a slice of red velvet cake, and 2 red velvet Oreo brownies. I was sure we had just racked up a $40 tab, nope...$18. (I almost ordered more ) Mrs. Lisa was so sweet and had a beautiful story of how The Front Porch started, but that's her story to tell, so you'll have to stop and ask yourself! Now...for your viewing pleasure!

Hug in a Mug? More Like Hug in a Mess. I genuinely wanted to love this place based on the name…read morealone, but unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing coffee shop experiences I've ever had. From the coffee to the customer service to the overall cleanliness, everything fell far below expectations. Let's start with the coffee, or lack thereof. I ordered a vanilla latte, and my friend ordered a caramel macchiato. Both drinks were essentially room-temperature milk with barely a hint of coffee or flavor. It was so unpleasant that we ended up throwing both drinks away. The pecan roll we ordered didn't fare much better. After being placed into a styrofoam container, it was microwaved right in front of me. IN THE STYROFOAM. The result? A health hazard, plus a melted, chewy, overly gooey mess that was completely inedible. The service was equally lackluster. The staff seemed visibly annoyed to take our order, and there was clear confusion about who would make our drinks. One employee disappeared for several minutes while the other, who had been doing nothing, finally stepped in to make our coffees, after a not-so-friendly exchanging of words about who would make it between the co-workers. To top it off, I watched another employee leave ice cream out to melt on the counter for at least ten minutes in what was an uncomfortably hot space. Speaking of the space... it's in rough shape. The interior smelled of sour milk, ice cream, and garbage, likely exacerbated by the heat. The outdoor patio, the only seating option, is no better. Tables are sticky and unclean, fans are missing blades (with broken pieces piled nearby), and the entire area looks neglected and unkempt. It's clear there hasn't been any effort to maintain the space. To give credit where it's due, someone in our group ordered a strawberry Italian ice, and they said it was "fine." But for everything else we tried, it was a complete waste of money and time. I rarely write negative reviews, but this place needs serious improvements across the board. Between the lackluster coffee, poor service, and the overall unsanitary conditions, I cannot recommend Hug in a Mug to anyone, and I certainly won't be back.
