Very satisfying and quick service too.

I would get it again for sure. My friend got orange sorbet and loved it. The place was clean, the young lady was friendly and we enjoyed talking with her. I will return here!

Pricy, but comparable to similar shops. Check the mail for coupons. It's never too cold outside for ice cream in NC! I saw an ad for Scoop Dogz and decided to check it out. Even on a chilly November day, I was craving ice cream. This shop is located two doors down from Aversboro Restaurant. It's in a plaza with ample parking. The entrance is on the left and exit door on the right. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a welcoming employee. She smiled and asked if I wanted to try any of the flavors. She patiently waited as I looked through the flavors and menu options. The sundae suggestions sounded so good, particularly the ice cream and cookie dough combos. After much deliberation, I decided on two sundaes. Since they were out of some of the flavors I swapped the chocolate for peppermint and the caramel ice cream for butter pecan. The sundaes were delicious and well balanced. I especially loved the combination of edible cookie dough with ice cream. Not just small chunks but a whole scoop of cookie dough. Their flavors rotate so be sure to look at the display case rather than the printed menus. They also serve ice cream from Homeland creamery. The shop has a few seats inside along with a freezer stocked with pre-packed pints and a free to play Pac-Man game. Overall, we had a positive experience here and recommend this ice cream shop to others!

What a DELIGHTFUL gem in Garner! Holl & Stone Farms is a cute farmstand and store featuring a bar,…read morecute store, and ice cream truck. The ice cream is New Zealand style soft serve, which is jam packed with fruit. I tried the blueberry basil which was absolutely delicious. They also offer other more traditional style ice cream like cookies and cream. The nice little touch they add is putting biscoff cookie or other cookie with every scoop. The cute store is worth a peruse to look at cook books, plants, and other perfect giftables! And save some time to look at the farm animals. There's a herd of friendly alpacas, a coop of chickens (and a free roaming rooster) and even some goats. The animals are so cute and friendly! I will say the parking lots get kind of full, but there's definitely a good amount of spots. You might just need to be a little patient.

Great local stop to visit…read more The staff are very nice and the animals are all friendly. There is plenty of hay to feed the alpacas, llamas, and goats. The ice cream is made to order and there is a variety of beverages to purchase. There are also locally made popsicles. I wish there were more food options. They have snacks but if you are hungry I would recommend grabbing a bite somewhere before heading here.

Finding this place was like going on a scavenger hunt. All you see is an UPS industrial area. You'd never find it unless you call them. Drive into the UPS parking lot, go over the speed bumps, and you will end up at a white building where they will come out and take your payment for the cupcakes. You can call them to order over the phone or go online. Their online portal didn't work for me though. Anyway, we ordered 2 pink chocolates & 1 lemon. The chocolate cake left a weird taste in my mouth, but my son loved the lemon. The chocolate cake was a bit dry too. I did like their cute little touch on the packaging with the ribbon around the plastic bag & the thank you sticker. The customer service needs a little work because the lady taking the order and the payment wasn't very friendly. We went around 3:30 pm, so maybe she was ready to get off work. Who knows? I think I will go back if I don't feel like driving far for a cupcake. Otherwise, I'm going to the real Smallcakes.

She too loves the milkshakes with whipped cream and a cherry. Howling Cows also sells pints of ice cream. If you visit Howling Cow in the summer expect a long line, this place is pretty popular. The students do an amazing job so the line moves quickly.

Howling Cow Dairy is a NC classic for a reason. I came for the first time recently and loved my…read moreexperience. Before stepping foot into the ice cream parlor, your first impression of the area is of a herd of cows lazing on wide open fields, and rocking chairs on a shaded porch from which customers can watch the cows as they enjoy their sweet treats. I had seen the ice cream nachos and really wanted to try them, but unfortunately due to staff shortages (NC state's graduation had just occurred), they weren't available. I instead tried their campfire delight, which is a graham cracker base with chocolate chunks and marshmallow fluff mixed in. I LOVE a good s'mores ice cream and this one was excellent. The ice cream base tasted very thoroughly of graham crackers, with a luscious and rich texture. The chunks of crunchy chocolate and wisps of smooth marshmallow provided a nice textural contrast against each other. I enjoyed every single bite, made more memorable by the view of the literal dairy cows that help to produce it. Howling Cow has amazing flavors, fair prices, and large portions. I would love to come back for the ice cream nachos!

We were super excited to try these drinks and desserts and were surprised by the lack of flavor in everything.

The drink was okay also. I will say that the vibe was chill and has a really nice date atmosphere.
