    Cakes and cupcakes
    Gregory W.

    I've been going to Nana's for over a year now and I should have posted this long ago. But since we finally did a holiday pie order, it is as good a time as ever to give this review. Such a great bakery! The scones are amazing. Every time we have people from out of town come, I will sneak out Saturday morning and get an assortment of these scones along with an assortment of other breakfast goods that wins all out of towners over. The Thanksgiving pies might become a christmas tradition. All of them were wonderful but the chocolate chess pie was a huge hit! Never had one as good as here. The staff is friendly and always baking large corporate orders, wedding orders, birthday goods, and sweets for every type of event. If you grab a coffee from Full Bloom around the corner, you would do yourself a disservice if you don't grab a pastry here to pair it with.

    The downtown village of Garner is small. This is the gem that stands out amongst the few retail locations surrounding this bakeshop. The apple fritter was fresh, chewy, and bursting with little pieces of Apple. The Bavarian cream donut had a bittersweet chocolate topping which was not what I was expecting. I did sample their focaccia bread which was outstanding. This is a locally owned business as evidenced by the number of people coming in and saying hello to the owner. Compared to grocery store baked goods and the local Dunkin' Donuts this shop is far superior. I hope that they will continue to increase the number of items they offer for sale as time goes by.

    These bakery treats are to die for. The cupcakes are always moist & delicious. They don't skimp out on anything here. And it's all very reasonably priced. The owner is so kind and makes an effort to build a sense of community with her business.

    Staff was friendly when we went, we left with a variety of things from the window. It was okay, but I felt they all were missing small steps that left their product's kind of lackluster. For example, brushing cake layers or cupcakes with simple syrups goes a really long way to ensure they dont dry out in the window. The danish/pastries mostly felt like commercially made products assembled on site with fresh fruits added. Its a cute place and Im glad to see they've succeeded so far.

    I love their cupcakes. I try to go at least once a week. My husband prefer an apple fritter.

    Bittersweet has amazing desserts and drinks. I've been several times and each time I enjoy what…read moreI've had. A solid go-to is their s'mores sundae which is sooo good! The chocolate brownie is thick and rich, but not too sweet, and the marshmallow cream is divine, especially with the ice cream. A lot of their drinks and gin based, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I always find something I can enjoy. The service is great and relatively quick, and everyone I've met there is kind and willing to help. The inside is a bit small, so smaller crowds are better and it does tend to get crowded later in the evening and on weekends. The outside street sitting area is nice too and hopefully will be fully fixed soon. Overall a great places to stop for drinks and desserts after a nice meal! And the menu rotates seasonally so you'll always have the chance to try something new!

We were honestly a little overwhelmed by all the options, but he gave us an extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable walk-through of the menu, helped us narrow down drinks, and absolutely crushed the recommendations. The desserts were great, the drinks were even better, but Brandon was easily the highlight of our experience. He was kind, helpful, sharp, and clearly knew exactly what he was talking about. Five stars all around. We'll definitely be back.

They have MANY flavors of ice cream, sorbet and drinks. They sell two kinds of hot dogs as well. We both got small cups and I got the caramel with toffee chunks. It was totally awesome! 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!

The drink menu is huge, and it's clearly geared more toward flavored latte lovers than coffee purists. If you like creative, dessert-style drinks, you'll have plenty to choose from. Drinks: I ordered a cortado, but it came out more like a breve. Not a big deal, but not quite what I was expecting. I also tried The Alchemist -- an iced latte with white chocolate, English toffee, and raspberry. It was enjoyable, but definitely flavor-forward, with the syrups taking center stage more than the espresso. Food: This is where the place really shines. I ordered the chicken biscuit with Sriracha hot honey, and it was excellent. Crispy chicken, a great biscuit, and the sweet heat from the sauce tied everything together perfectly. Overall: If you're looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot with lots of fun drink options, No Filter is a solid choice. If you're hunting for a specialty coffee experience focused on the coffee itself, this probably isn't the destination -- but the food alone makes it worth the stop.

Friendly service and really great food! My husband had the Why-Yu Ugly Burger and he said it was cooked to perfection, not over cooked or under cooked, with tons of flavor! The fries were wonderful too! I had the Wafflewich and it was delicious with a touch of sweetness to the waffles. We both agreed it was a place we would eat at again and again!
