    This is my second time here after meeting Papa Robb himself at Barbee Farms. I have since tried 5 flavors of their ice cream and loved them all. The key lime is to die for! I have been bringing friends and family here since my first visit and I fully intend to make this my go-to ice cream spot. Everyone here is super nice. I've had Papa Robb's wife serve us herself both times, and we even got some farm fresh eggs. I love the little gazebo table with the lights wrapped around it and the wind chimes. If you're looking for great ice cream, whether or not you have kids, this is the place to go!

    Papa Robb's is another one of my local favorites. They definitely bring back that child-like joy. This is a very family-friendly location (except no pets). They have a great menu selection. Everything from ice cream and popsicles to milkshakes and Italian ice. The staff is always friendly and they keep things very clean (even the restrooms). There is a lot of parking (including additional parking in the grass), lots of seating options, and awesome play areas for the kiddos.

    Golly, on a sweltering hot August day, there are few places in Concord, NC that I'd rather be, more than here at Papa Robb's. It was my first foray here, but it's quite the neighborhood hubbub, and for good reason! With play sets, plenty of parking and cool treats.... The vibe is family friendly and super cool. The artwork and tiki masks make you feel like you're at an Island Paradise. Oh and the ice cream is top notch. My mother raved about her butter pecan, and it's been awhile since I had a hot fudge sundae. I didn't like the nuts, but service was great and I enjoyed supporting this hometown staple. I plan to go again and soon.

    Fenced in playground for the kiddos!

    First time coming here and we loved it! The staff were so friendly! I love the fact that they have kids chairs and a playground! And of course the ice cream was delicious! Beautiful bright colored place for the kids!

    Cute little place along poplar tent rd. They have ice cream and icees. I got the small, which was 2 scoops of ice cream. You can choose 2 different flavors, so I got brownie batter and coffee. It was really tasty and I loved the two flavors together! The place has a nice big parking lot and a lot of seating. I love that they have a little playground for kids. The decor and colors are very cute and welcoming. It's a great spot to come to in the summer!

    I've been here a couple times with my daughter and she likes it alot! On our most recent visit yesterday evening my daughter played in the playground that they have. She loves the tire swing and the gymnastic bar thing (clearly I don't know what it's called) . A few things I like about this place is the amount of seating that's available. Just a ton of benches for you to sit at. Also there's some greenery where I saw some folks playing with a volleyball so that was dope. I gotta mention the ice cream right?! I ordered a cookies and cream ice cream for myself and my daughter got the watermelon bomb pop which fell apart after she chose to eat from the bottom first . She ate a good portion of it tho but it was a learning moment for her so she'll be prepared for the next time. I was surprised by how late they're open so I don't have to rush right after work to try to get there. We'll be here all spring and summer for sure!

    Banana split

    I'm a huge fan of banana splits (with wet walnuts and other customizable options) so they didn't disappoint. Now I will say, I found it surprising that they didn't provide any in/outdoor seating. Customers were using personal lawn chairs or sitting in the truckbed/hatchbacks. I'm assuming this may be a restriction due to COVID so I'm willing to check them out again.

    Lots of tables and chairs out to enjoy the warm weather. Corn-hole toss for everyone to play and a fair sized portion for the price.

    “They call it "paradise ice"-tough to describe, but a mixture of ice cream and a popsicle with a creamy texture.”

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.

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.

Classy Scoops was on the list! It did not disappoint. The decor, seating and over all vibe was definitely classy! The ladies who were working in the shop were so friendly, helpful and professional. 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.

If I don't have Andy's at least twice a week I go into a severe depression until I have a sundae or concrete in my hands! But seriously, the custard is silky smooth. It's made fresh hourly which I have witnessed several times by sitting outside the Andy's window and watching it slowly pour out from the machine. I've tried every single concoction they've made since moving to the Concord area a year ago. My favorites have been the cherry pie concrete, pumpkin pie concrete, chocolate cake sundae, blueberry cobbler sundae & concrete, lemon bar concrete and strawberry shortcake sundae. The shakes and sodas are amazing. Also, the cones are made fresh daily and really good. Best of all you can customize your custard any way you want which is great for cravings. I promised you that even if you get a simple cone or cup of Andy's frozen vanilla custard you will be hooked. I've had friends come from out of town and have their minds blown away by this stuff. Of course I joined the rewards program to get notifications on the new desserts that will be featured and get points for purchases. Who doesn't love free frozen custard for being a loyal customer. Needless to say I get those freebies quite often. Clearly I'm obsessed with Andy's. Depending on how long the drive thru line is, I usually take my Andy's to go, but on those hot summer nights there's nothing like sitting outside and enjoying my little cup of frozen heaven. Why are you still reading this? Go get Andy's!!!
