    Can't go wrong with cake from here! I tried this after not having it in years and was pleasantly surprised! My favorite by far was the chocolate mousse strawberry cake! It was so good. The chocolate mocha cupcake was also fantastic. The indoor seating was expansive and the service was phenomenal!

    I've been here several times since moving to Greensboro. Cake and cupcakes are always amazing and the staff is really good at keeping the line moving. Some days the line is 50 people deep, but it moves quickly. If taking your cake to go, order ahead to skip the line.

    This fabulous local dessert shop is in Greensboro, NC. Named after the two pugs the owner received after getting married, they have been serving locals for 41 years. They offer a wide variety of cakes, pound cakes, cupcakes, bars, pies, cookies, ice creams, and coffees. Additionally, they offer mini and full-size pup-cakes made with dog-friendly ingredients. Their ingredients are ethically sourced and, when possible, locally sourced--emphasizing sustainable practices through composting, recycling, and green packaging. In addition to their many permanent cake and cupcake flavors, they also offer seasonal flavors. The current seasonal offerings include s'mores cupcakes and black forest cake. If you are new to or visiting the Greensboro area, this local dessert shop is a must. If you are overwhelmed by the options, ask the counter clerk for a recommendation; you will never be disappointed. This shop has something to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth and ample interior seating.

    This is THE cutest bakery in Greensboro! I got cupcakes here for my sister's baby sprinkle and they were all delicious. I got one of almost everything on the menu and we enjoyed every one. My favorite part is they are not overly sweet! I had the chance to walk around and every detail is just perfect. So many different seating options including a precious area for kiddos. This would be a wonderful place for a baby/bridal shower, birthday party, or gathering of any kind! The staff was so nice and welcoming. Lots of parking in the shopping center and one of the cleanest and prettiest bathrooms I've seen!

    Maxie B's is my all time favorite bakery in Greensboro!! If you go there on the weekend, there is usually a line outside the store. The deviled food cake is scrumptious. It has the best chocolate icing. The service is usually excellent too.

    It's just good. There is frequently a line out the door, for good reason! There a huge selection of flavors and they have vegan options too! The pumpkin chocolate chip cake we had at the last visit was just phenomenal. Not too sweet, nice and moist, just perfect.

    A stop at the infamous Maxie B's Bakery to deliver a slice of chocolate cake and a slice cherry pie with crumble to my bro-law in Charlotte! Two of his favorites! This place is magnificent! Treat yourself.

    We do not live locally but received a recommendation from my friend who lives locally for a bakery for my daughter's college graduation this past weekend. The cake and cupcakes were absolutely delicious and the staff were friendly when ordering on the phone and when I picked up my order they walked me to my car! There was a line outside when I went to pick up my order so I will be back to sample more!

    It's been a while since I've had a slice of cake from Maxie Bs and this weekend seemed like the perfect time. We enjoyed two slices, the Lemon Almond and Pineapple Coconut cake. They were fresh and generous slices. The service was fast and efficient and the displays were well lit with a full display of many different desserts of pies, cookies and cupcakes.

    They have the best little sitting area next to the bakery with a cozy ambiance, games, fireplace and more. Their selection of cakes, cupcakes and other goodies are all top notch. Always greeted with a smile, service is great!

    I'm not sure what I can say about this place that hundreds, if not thousands of other reviewers have already said. The quality of the desserts is second to none and there's always a good variety of cakes, pies, cookies, and other sweet treats. It is not often that the line is not out the door, but service is fast and the ambience is good although it's probably better to visit on a nice summer day where you can sit outside and enjoy your treat because there's not much room in the inside to dine in and enjoy the deliciousness of their cakes. My all-time favorites include the strawberry cream, the pecan pie, the Keylime pie, and guess what I could go on and on and on, so I'll stop there. If you're looking for a quality piece of cake pie or cookies or other dessert this is the place for you but just make sure you get there early enough so they don't run out of your favorite

    I absolutely love this place and I am one of their biggest unpaid ambassadors. I have a spot where I would like for them to hang my picture and a cake recipe idea as well. The atmosphere is amazing very laid back. They have an electric fireplace that makes it super cozy. The customer service is always impeccable. The variety of flavors and options is endless and they have something for everyone. I have sent every student and person I know to Maxie Bs. I recently tried the quiche and it didn't disappoint. Everyone who knows me knows I love this place. I am trying to be a taste tester if they need one lol.

    We got several cakes and a cookie. The strawberry shortcake was outstanding and was a taste of summer in your mouth. We also got a lemon blueberry bar that was moist dense taste...wonderful. The molasses cookie with filling was good but the filling was too sweet in our opinion. The cookie portion was fantastic. Very nice area to sit and enjoy your food. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful.

    I was excited to try Ice-creamFactory knowing they were the same owners as SipLab, which I just…read morereviewed. Went in with my family and we were immediately greeted and taken care of. While we were in the line the staff were taking time to get to know the guests which I thought was a great service touch. I got the NY Cheesecake Stacker and wow. It was good. It was A LOT, portion-wise, which is never a bad thing. Flavor was great. It wasn't as aggressively sweet you think. This was a fun place to try. Staff and guests were in good spirits, it was clean, there was a fun playlist going, just an overall good experience.

    Been trying to get back to this spot for a while. We discovered it last year as part of a Yelp…read moreevent, and have been looking forward to visiting ever since. We were welcomed in by staff, who was very friendly. They offer a massive selection of ice cream flavors, which makes it tough to pick. They offer something for everyone including dairy free options (including vegan options), as well as classic flavors, fruity flavors, and their own concoctions! In addition, they offer unlimited toppings to be added at NO EXTRA CHARGE!!!!! Still stuffed from dinner, I got a "single" cup, which they actually allow you to put up to (2) favors in. I decided to to go with (2) of their original creations, getting the Peanut Butter Cookies & Cream, and the Salty Caramel Brownie, to top it off, i got a chocolate drizzle, sprinkles and whipped cream. WOW! Don't let the size of the cup fool you, they pack it, full, and have overflowing. They don't skimp. The ice cream was absolutely delicious, so rich and full of flavor. The space is very relaxed with plenty of seating, as well as games for people to enjoy while visiting. Another nice touch, the cashier gave us a bottle of water on the house. In addition to cups and cones, they also offer milkshakes, ice cream tacos made to your liking, and so much more. Hands down, this has got to be the best spot in the Triad to get a nice sweet treat! As the days are warming up, I'm looking forward to going back!

I personally had not been to this place before but I had heard a lot of good things about it on Tiktok. So I was excited to try it out. When you step inside the place has a nice little aesthetic going on with colors like white and green standing out to me. They had tons of flavors lined up. There menu on the screen also showed the different flavors and other things they offered. I personally just wanted Ice cream so I didnt keep looking. We were assisted by a worker and she let us sample different ice creams and even told us that there were certain flavors that were gelato not ice cream. I tried the coconut gelato and loved it instantly, so thats what I got. On a sign it said a single scoop of ice cream and gelato can get you one free topping. which i thought was really nice. I'll definitley be going back to this place as it keeps getting hotter

Honestly I was thinking, this place can't be thaaat good! I was wrong! First off I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of gift options in the bakery! Many of the local schools were represented and they also had gifts that were birthday themed and books for kids! Because my husband is a huge Duke (basketball) fan, I couldn't help but grab a cute Duke cup! I wasn't sure what cake slice to get my coworker so I asked the young lady working for reccos! She recommended I taste a few which was dangerous because I knew I would leave with my own which was not the plan at all! As a foodie, I fell for the tasting and of course ended up with a slice of seasonal pumpkin for myself! It was moist, spiced perfectly and not overly sweet! The pink lemonade was also very good! For my coworker I grabbed the recommended deal of buying 5 slices and getting one free! The young lady working even told me about a deal they have on Mondays... FREE SLICE DAY! No purchase necessary!!! Even though these are not the best desserts in the area in my opinion, they are a solid choice if wanting a little slice of cake and picking up a few gift items!

I came here to buy a half dozen cake squares. They have a deal where you guy 5 cake squares and get the sixth free at that time, so it worked perfectly for me. Our favorite are the pink lemonade, white cake with white icing, and chocolate cake with chocolate icing. As you can tell through the pictures, they offer way more than just those items, but I was on a mission so I stuck to what I needed. But it doesn't mean I didn't browse. And since there was a line, I was able to meander through the whole store. Back along the far right wall is a section of collegiate and North Carolina themed items. I definitely saw some future birthday and Christmas presents for myself in there. I quickly messaged a colleague to let them know where to find NC State items for friends if they ever needed to pick up a gift. As I made my way back towards the line of people, I looked over the freshly baked cupcakes, the tins of their so-thin-they-shouldn't-have-calories cookies, and everything else behind the glass. Inside Dewey's is also a small seating area, but I've never been one to linger in there due to the temptation. You can get a cream horn and eat it there so there is no evidence of where you went that day. I think Dewey's does a good job for a local chain store and I will co time to be a repeat customer.

We stopped in after having dinner in Friendly Center, there was a bit of a line with young kids running around the place like it was a playground. They only had one person on staff for an evening shift, and their was no true definition to where the line started. The interior is very crowded with a giant box built in the middle of the space, which i assume is used for storage. It leaves space for only a a couple of tables inside, but they do have a few outside as well. My wife and I ended up sharing a small cup of their ice-cream, with a scoop of The Tonight Dough (Caramel & Chocolate Ice Creams with Chocolate Cookie Swirls & Gobs of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Peanut Butter Cookie Dough.) and a scoop of Marshmallow sky (Marshmallow ice cream with marshmallow swirls & gobs of chocolate chip cookie dough & chocolate chocolate chip cookie dough). Both were tasty, but a small cup now costs $8, which is absolutely outrageous, considering how much ice-cream I could buy at the grocery store for $8. I'm not clear if it's just this location, because of high rent, or all, but I'm certain I will not be returning to this Ben & Jerrys in the future.
