My go-to flavors (and what's in the picture) are Tiger Blood and Piña Colada, blended together in an Avalanche size--it's such a good combo. The other order was a Strawberry Cheesecake flavor in a kiddie size. He said it was okay but wished it had more flavor. Overall, this is a solid spot to cool off with something sweet and nostalgic.

There are so many flavor options and additions to take your snowball up a notch (gummies, ice cream, sweetened condensed milk, etc.) Pelicans also offers several dye-free flavors and a handful of sugar-free flavors, too. This location offers a drive through and walk up window. Love to see fun activities onsite for visitors - cornhole, ladder golf, giant connect four, and plenty of picnic tables and benches for resting. Prices are very reasonable and the service has been great; super friendly and fast.

Back to the real Coffee House Experience…read more We lived in Cornelius NC which is about 10 miles away and this is where the original Waterbean Coffee was founded. It's still there and doing well. We move to Denver, NC about 6 years ago and there was not a Waterbean Coffee here at that time. Later Dilworth Coffee Co moved out, and they took over the space. It's a little hard to find due to the geometry of the building but it right down from the Harris Teeter. Coffee Houses have evolved over the years into two different directions. The original was casual with more of an emphasis on just regular coffees with a nod to organic and fair trade. This was a place to relax over a cup of coffee , chat with friends or break out a laptop or tablet and chatch up or get some work done. The other style was on all of the different combinations you could make with coffee with flavors, different roasts, hot or cold brews in a get it and go setting. Dive throughs are common. This is like the first. Not rushed, coffee is excellent (it is Organic and some is Free Trade Certified), Not as many flavors or variations, but the emphasis is on the coffee first. Depending on the type of day and my schedule, I like both but if I had to choose, it would be the Waterbean type.

And nothing in this shopping center is easy to find unless it's the supermarket. Also, while walking, I asked a woman the exact location of the Italian Ice place, she told me, "Around the corner on the left and it will be right there." I ended up at a dumpster behind a brick wall. However, I did not give up, did not get mad at this strange woman (chalked it up to dyslexia), and went in the opposite direction and arrived. This place is super clean, which is expected for a new store but it's a plus nonetheless. The service was excellent and I tried a couple of flavors. That is literal because the ice in the photo was for my son and my ice (forgot to take a picture) was Cherry and Vanilla Chip. I had never heard of Vanilla Chip but it was refreshing. What really popped though was accidentally mixing the Cherry with the Vanilla Chip. This had the strong flavor of the Cherry with the refreshing Vanilla while mixing in chocolate chips. I guess that would be Cherry Vanilla Chip. I can't really think of any negatives. If I'm really reaching, when I first turned to walk in, it's just a white counter wall. Maybe some kind of decoration or a banner there would be more appealing but nobody really cares about a counter wall; they want a tasty ice at a fair price--and they will definitely find that here. Highly recommended!

I will say, my wife and I were definitely the youngest diners in the restaurant. Overall, it was a very lovely experience, and we will 100% be back. The only slight negative was that we found the hostess to be a little unfriendly. We arrived at 4:30 without a reservation, and at that time there were only about four tables with diners. She asked us how long it was going to take us to eat because they had reservations at 6:00. I thought that was an odd question to ask, because how fast we eat really depends more on how quickly the meal is served than anything else. Other than that, everything was great. The ceilings are high, the atmosphere is airy and bright, the windows are tall, and the whole space felt clean, fresh, and modern. My wife enjoyed their sweet tea, and we started with the whipped ricotta dip, which was absolutely out of this world. My wife ordered the steak frites, which she thoroughly enjoyed, and I had the fish and chips, which were perfectly cooked. Our server told us it was her first day, but she did an excellent job and was very friendly. We will absolutely be back to try more items from the menu. And as it turned out, the hostess had nothing to worry about--we were in and out in an hour. To those about to nosh, we salute you!

We were greeted by a very friendly hostess, and our party of five adults and two kids was seated quickly.

Once we were seated, our waitress was polite, attentive, and had our drinks out in no time. Of course, us Griggs had to order the Southern sweet tea! My wife's grandmother ordered an alcoholic drink from the bar, and it came out just as quickly. After looking over their huge menu (which we always enjoy because there are so many great options), everyone finally made their decision. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with tater tots, and let me tell you--the burger was HUGE! It looked like it weighed a pound. It was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and the tater tots were extra crispy just the way I like them. My wife ordered the quesadillas, and the portion was so generous she could only finish half. Both of our kids got the chicken tender meals, which were free with the purchase of an adult entrée that day. They both ate well, and we still had leftovers to take home. The chicken tenders were cooked perfectly. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals, and by the time we left, we were all completely stuffed. Midtown continues to be one of our favorite family restaurants because of the friendly atmosphere, great service, generous portions, and consistently delicious food. We always look forward to coming back whenever we're in town. Thank you from the Griggs Family!
