Their unique flavors like Moon Pie, Cherry Garden, Banana Pudding, Sliced Lemon, and Apple Pie made every visit special and kept us coming back for more.

I really wanted to love this place. My husband and I were excited to try it, especially with all…read morethe new downtown renovations we were hoping to find our go-to ice cream spot. The shop itself is adorable, the staff is friendly, and the overall experience is great. But unfortunately, the star of the show, the ice cream fell short for us. While the texture was nice and creamy, the flavors just didn't deliver. My cherry and peach scoops had barely a piece or two of fruit, and the flavor was very mild, almost nonexistent. I shared my thoughts with a local friend and, without prompting, they described the exact same experience. We're rooting for this place and really hope they make some tweaks to their recipes. A bit more flavor and a few more mix-ins could make a world of difference. We'd love to see them succeed and become a long-term part of the downtown scene.

I'm writing this review because we recently learned that a gift certificate we gifted as a holiday present expired. I wasn't aware it had a time limit, if I had know I would've thought twice about gifting from this establishment. It's embarrassing for us to give a gift that was ultimately unusable. I understand running a small business is challenging, but I wish I would've at least been made aware of their gift card policy in advance.

Well...they have beautiful desserts but ugly customer service. What is going on with service in the…read morearea these days, yikes! Anyhow, walked in and we were the only customers. No greeting, the lady behind the counter just walked up and started pulling desserts out as we were talking amongst ourselves and trying to decide on them, so felt a little rushed. Also, I guess they save the good boxed packaging for customers they like, so if you are offered styrofoam then that means you didn't make the list lol. The way we were stared at the entire time and rudely handed the receipt to sign after our purchase made the entire visit an uncomfortable vibe and as if we were being a bother. And just for future reference, yes please offer your customers a bag to carry multiple items they purchased, thanks. If you decide to stop in though, the white chocolate mousse was pretty tasty lol (that's what the one star is for, otherwise, it would be a zero for me).

My favorite food group is dessert, so naturally when I walked into Gibson Mill Market and the first…read morevendor I saw was Cara's Cookie Company, I was absolutely delighted! It's very simple to order - they have everything they offer on display and when you make your choices they pull fresh cookies from the back. This is also the only place I've ever seen a cookie push pop and I LOVE this creative idea! I chose the coffee toffee, chocolate chip, and snickerdoodle cookies along with a cookie push pop. Firstly the cookies are massive. I'm a person who can eat an entire cookie in one sitting but I would think for most people they could eat on one for days. They also have an over abundance of toppings and I love this so much. There wasn't a lack of chocolate chips or toffee on the cookies. These cookies are also super heavy so you know they're packed with flavor. If you're visiting Gibson Mill Market I highly recommend stopping at Cara's Cookie Company for dessert after your meal or a treat to take home!

The seating area is inviting and has cute decorations. We purchased the Oreo cookies and chocolate chip cookie. The size of the cookies is incredible. They are enormous. One cookie is enough for at least three people. The chocolate chip cookie is definitely for chocolate lovers. They do not skimp on the chocolate. These staff member was working on decorating cookies when we arrived. You have a clear view of the kitchen from the service counter. The staff member was friendly and helpful.

I had never heard of rolled ice cream before. Glad they recommended it. Delicious and interesting. I definitely plan to return the next time we travel to Concord!

At a glance the place is nice, they have free arcade games and a play area with a giant connect four game set up, so very kid friendly. The place could really benefit from a deep cleaning though. Table tops were cleaned, but the seats were dirty at the booths. My son just got a scoop of chocolate ice cream which he really enjoyed. The strawberry cheesecake roll was suggested and it was pretty good. Just for those two items I believe my total came up to about $16.19, so definitely not cheap.... I'm happy we gave this place a try, but realize there are much cheaper options in the area that serve really tasty treats, so not sure if we'll be back. They also offer boba tea and other treats.

Another thing is it gets busy especially on the weekends. What this place need is more seating for outside especially when it's hot in the middle of the day or have sitting inside since people had to go in the car turn the ac on and eat in the car.

Even though we were second in line, it took around 30 minutes just to get three simple ice cream orders. I'm not sure what was happening inside, but the wait was long enough that if we hadn't already paid, we probably would have left. They were also out of Oreos, so I couldn't get my usual Oreo Tornado and settled for cookie dough instead. Nothing we ordered was complicated, yet the service was extremely slow. Standing outside in 98‑degree heat made the wait even worse. I hope this was just an off day, because the ice cream itself is usually good -- but the service during this visit was disappointing and needs improvement.

This has to be the most underrated ice cream in Charlotte. I saw one Instagram post about them and…read morethought nitro ice cream sounded interesting. I found them at the Piedmont Farmers Market in Concord when I was in the area. They do come down to Charlotte too, but it seems like they're in the Concord area a lot. I really appreciate that they have a good variety of interesting non-chocolate flavors. I got 3 flavors: lemon cookie crunch, golden cookies 'n cream, and cake batter. All three are very good. The cake batter was out of this world. It literally tasted like I was eating funfetti cake batter. The golden cookies 'n cream was my second favorite. It had huge chunks of golden Oreos. The consistency of their ice cream is different. It's kind of gooey and creamy. I love it. I will say, it's a little pricey. They have what seems like half pints and for the three I got it was $21. It was so good that it was worth it for a treat though. If you haven't tried their ice cream, you're missing out!

Hello everyone…read more Introduction: I want to introduce a NEW business started by my very own mother named "Dapur i". Dapur i is a catering company producing Malaysian cuisine. My mom had always had a passion for cooking, and let me tell you...she is damn good at it. I know everyone's mom's food is special to them, but please hear me out when I say EVERYONE needs to try this woman's cooking. Reviews: My own friends after school would ask to come to my house to eat dinner because they know my mom was making it. Furthermore, our close friends always asks my mom to bring 2 or 3 dishes because they're in love with her food. Living in America, not many people are exposed to what Malaysian cuisine is, and the places that do serve Malaysian food really don't do it justice. My mom is just starting out her company, and I know she'll be successful, but it would mean the whole world if you guys would share her company to bring it more attention. I can promise you with 100% of my heart, that you will keep ordering and ordering this food. We are located in the Concord, NC area. So anyone near here, if you're having parties, or want to order food for your kids for college, please check out the menu. Help support this new small business, and experience the flavorful and vibrant taste of Malaysia Thank you for your support! Please message me if you have any questions :)
