An allergy friendly ice cream bar is hard to find and I'm happy to report our little friend with…read morepeanut/tree butter allergies was able to enjoy a treat here due to their precautions. They have a separate area and utensils to avoid cross contamination. In addition, the overall selection is extensive and the scoops are generous. I really enjoyed the ice cream + coffee! I'll definitely return when in the area again!

The best thing about Village Scoop? Because they use Hershey's generic and specialty ice cream…read moreflavors, they are almost always going to have something that fits every kind of person. With 60+ flavors, my kids were almost overwhelmed by the number of choices here. I wish the ice cream, for multi-scoop orders, was served in a cup piled side-by-side, instead of one on top of the other. In this format, you could eat a little of each flavor you asked for anytime. As it is, you have to eat through the first scoop to get to your next scoop; I'm becoming such an ice cream snob that our family noticed and prefers side-by-side. Otherwise, prices and serving sizes were fair and service was fast. If you do a hike at Chimney Rock, this is an easy vote for yes!

We said that's ok, and went over to a literally deserted section of bar to sit and wait, maybe 10-15 feet from another couple.

When the weather is in the 90's it doesn't matter if you're on the beach or in the mountains the…read morebest way to lower your core temperature is to indulge in some ice cold creamy ice cream and that was definitely my plan when I whipped into this little snack bar - ice cream was my only agenda today but there are plenty of other offerings if you looking for something more savory. This little independently owned shop has limited hours on limited days of the week, there nothing like an owner who opens when he wants to and serves up a great selection of novelties, this almost always ensure you'll get quality products and it also means you'll probably have to pay up a little although I found the moderate pricing to be reasonable. The menus are posted everywhere once you climb the flight of stairs to the porch level - like more traditional ice cream stands there's a ordering window and a pickup window this to me signifies this place can get pretty busy although today that wasn't the case, of course I arrived a few minutes after opening. This place seems to offer unlimited flavors of ice cream and as I reviewed all the postings the only distraction was a couple of teenage boys seating on the bench beside the railing - one was crunching on his cup full of ice while the other was sucking on lemons he retrieved from his empty cup of lemonade, both were a little annoying but I was here for ice cream so it's wasn't hard to ignore the ill-mannered children although they arrived here in a early 2000 mini truck that hadn't seen a car wash in months. We found a picnic table under a big oak tree that provided shade to enjoy our treat and far enough away from the ice cruncher and lemon sucker to relax and suck down our shakes, I was bound and determined to do a little straw sucking to get some payback but unfortunately the two departed before I got to the bottom of my cup. We ordered a Banana and North Carolina Peach Shake in separate cups of course the smooth ice cream was filled with freshly sliced bananas and delicious peaches that kept clogging up the straws (that's a great sign for me it reminded me of my childhood when you had to pull the straw and do a reverse slurp to clean the fruit from within). The owners were friendly but focused and the little windows only provided a small portal to the inside which I thought was rather comical - a hand appeared to take the payment then it appeared again to hand over the product. It was a great experience over-all and the shakes were delicious, this is definitely a gem in the mountain forrest and deserves a visit again and again when in the area...

In addition to ice cream they also offer chocolate and fudge by the piece or you can choose from prepackaged chocolate items as well. If you are craving something sweet, Kilwins is a great stop!

It pains me to write a 3 star review for this place because I've had previous positive experiences…read more I sat at the bar around 5p with the idea of getting an early dinner and rolling out quickly for an early day tomorrow. There were maybe 3 other people sitting there when I arrived. I ordered the chef salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing and the Turkey Melt which I had once before and recall it being THE best melt I ever had. When I got my salad, it had ranch dressing. I asked the waitress what was the dressing and she said, it's our special made ranch dressing, it's sooo good. I said 'I ordered balsamic vinaigrette', she said 'oh my, you're right, we'll get this fixed for you'. Oh well, I thought it was simple. When I got the Turkey Melt, it was so messed up, I could not EVEN pick it up, it was sliding off the panini. I had a guy sitting next to me who could not even order a pizza. He didn't know what his choices were. When the waitress told him his options, he said ' wait a minute, I have to make a call'. He was talking to someone about what he could have on his pizza. When the waitress came back, he couldn't remember what he wanted, finally he just said 'I just want cheese'. Then this couple at the end of the bar are SO loud, everyone is looking at them. They were locals because the kept talking about local stuff. Then as more people came in, they all went to the end of the bar to see this couple and all of a sudden it felt like a party. I was enjoying the HDTV, it had the golf Channel, ESPN and CNBC all at the same time, three of my favs' Then the sound of rolling THUNDER and all the channels went blank. It was more than I could deal with, I ask for my bill and a go box.

Pretty decent summertime staple. They have a good amount of parking and a nice location in black…read moremountain. Their seating is atrocious. It's basically some tables with no umbrellas or shade in the middle of the parking lot. We were sweltering. Probably why many people took theirs to go or huddled under the roofing. Next time I'd sit in the grass or random chairs out back. The ice cream itself was decent. Fresh and a nice variety of flavors. I was asking about flavors and they could not remember some so they finally let me try them. Weird. I ended up with turtle something and moose tracks. Pretty small for an ice cream place but a good size for a small. The dipped soft serve was massive. So much so that I had to ask for a cup because it was a mess. About the same price as you'd pay for the homemade unique stuff and they don't take the go local card. This place is nice and a good neighborhood spot but I'll opt for one of my local favs next time.
