We tend to frequent the same legendary ice cream spots over and over. Sunni Sky's, Goodberry's,…read moreFat Cat, Fresh Local...we kind of just rotate endlessly through those. However, now that we have tried Mama Birds it will definitely be added to our rotation. They have gluten-free waffle cones here which was a bit surprising to be honest. They also label their ice creams as gluten free which is helpful. It is a bit more on the expensive side, a double scoop is $7.50 and a triple is $10 plus $1.50 for the waffle cones ($2.25 for GF). So it's a bit expensive. I always base the cost on a family of 5...it's basically $45 for 5 double scoop cones + tip is another $9 and with taxes you're looking t just under $60 which buys a lot of Ben and Jerry's or 3 trips to Sunni Skies... Some ice cream shops encourage you to try as many as you'd like. I think I tried 5 here and the staff was getting annoyed with me...there wasn't a line either it was just us. I wouldn't try more than 2-3 if there was a line. I feel like a couple here is the standard. The parking lot exit needs some work, if you have a tiny car you might lose it in the potholes! I'm sure that problem belongs to whoever owns the property that rents to the ice cream shop but I'd push for it to be fixed! Decent amount of parking. It's very clean and cool inside. They do have restrooms. Tables are shared seating so you'll be sitting next to strangers (not a problem for me but I know people who want their own table). It is somewhat small. I don't know how busy it can get but if it was slammed you might have to eat in your car so make sure you bring some wet wipes for the kids.

You can submit your own fat cat pictures too if you want, which I thought was fun. I like getting the brownie sundaes here once in a while.

My friend and I walked here after lunch at Osha Thai a few doors down after trying the mango sticky rice which is served with coconut vanilla ice cream on the side and it was CREAMY AF. The waitress said that they get their ice cream from JT's so of course we had to check it out after trying it at Osha. Best ice cream ever. On par with the artisan ice cream shops in California. It reminds me of Tin Pot from Los Altos which sadly no longer has any brick and mortar shops. The guy working here was super friendly and chill and answered all our questions and they also told us about a fun challenge the shop does: if you guess the blue milk ice cream flavor correctly you can get a free scoop! Apparently only one person has ever guessed it correctly. Coffee cookies and cream is a solid choice as well. My friend grabbed a pint of that. They have dairy free chai, cookie dough, Madagascar vanilla, mint chip, and much much more. I wish I took a photo of all of their current offerings. The variety of flavors was amazing and I love the names! Blue milk referencing Star Wars and my all time favorite 'BISCUITS WITH THE BOSS' referencing Ted Lasso. I didn't make the connection with either one until I brought the pint of ice cream home and my husband picked up on it immediately. The cookies absolutely taste homemade/from scratch. The texture was out of this world fantastic. They had a sign outside noting awards for best milk shake in Holly Springs. I will be back to Holly Springs just to get more of this phenomenal ice cream!!!!

Before you know it, you're thinking about what to eat or take home, and you were just there for coffee. Yikes! First off, all the pastries are made right at Asali. From what I understand, nothing is made outside the café. My favorite breakfast is their egg and cheese croissant. It's always just the right temperature. So good, you might even use your fingers to pick up and eat all the flakes that fall off. The staff is super friendly and even answers any questions you have about how they make their drinks. Speaking of drinks, you can pretty much get anything you want. Regular coffee, pour-over, all sorts of lattes--hot or cold. This is one of the reasons why I return time after time. The staff's ability to be creative and add some wow factor to your drink. Asali might just be the best cafe in the entire Raleigh area.

They have so many pastries to choose from, ranging from macarons to cakes. They also have a small brunch menu. The service was fine and the items came out quickly. I got the Hazelnut Cheesecake Mousse and Breakfast Croissant. The Hazelnut Cheesecake Mousse had a stick blue fondant above it, which I think was mostly used for decor. I did not like it a lot so we took it off and it made the cake taste a lot better. There were not super strong hints of the cheesecake flavor, but it tasted fine. I wish the Breakfast Croissant had a type of meat in it, but it was still good. The croissant was very buttery and large. I would probably rate this spot a 3.5/5 stars if I could. The food I got did not impress me too much, but I would love to give them another shot and try their other pastries.

Both would probably haunt my dreams, it definitely haunts my waist band. I'm usually a local guy but I haven't found a great local bakery anywhere in Fuquay that offers variety as well as quality. Most of them are just very boring and offer plain chocolate chip cookies or other sweets that just aren't outstanding. So that's how I end up at Crumbl. My first time here was a complete accident. I was driving by and saw the sign. I went in and ordered a dozen cookies, a couple of each flavor...I was a bit in shock when I was handed the box...it was HEAVY!!! Like the heaviest box of a dozen cookies I've ever had in my life. A dozen from Insomnia or your local bakery would probably weigh 1/3 of what these beasts put down on the scale. Each delicious sugar packed cookie is about 600 calories so be careful consuming too many at once. Technically you could eat 3 per day for 4 days on the Crumbl diet and get 1800 calories per day for about $13/day (2025 prices). And you probably wouldn't gain weight. I love all of the variety and the interesting combos that they come up with each week. The standard chocolate chip is pretty good on its own especially when it's warm. My favorite of all time isn't even a cookie, it's one of their cakes...the strawberry shortcake to be exact. I can't wait for it to come back I'll probably buy a dozen of them. Service has always been great. I just order on the app and either walk in to get them after checking in on the app, or have them bring them to my car. Both great options. But if you have kids you should put their name in the field for who's picking up the cookies. They love seeing their name on the giant screen almost as much as they love the cookies...it's very exciting for them.

The best cookies from Crumbl in my opinion all have one thing in common, they have a thick layer of Crumbl's phenomenal cream cheese frosting on top. This cookie checks that all important box and also takes it up a notch by converting the cream cheese frosting into caramel cream cheese frosting. Not to be overshadowed by the frosting, the body of the cookie is dense, soft, chewy, thick, and buttery. As for the caramel popcorn pieces on top, they tasted fine but are mostly for show. The light drizzle of melted caramel provides an additional touch of flavor. The shop serves it warm, but it tastes just as good chilled in the fridge. Crumbl claims this is a new cookie (maybe they surreptitiously tweaked the recipe?) but the only noticeable difference from the last time I had this cookie is the naming. The full listed name is now Rob's Backstage Caramel Popcorn Cookie ft. The Jonas Brothers. I'm not going to call it that though because I'm a man in my 30's and could not care less for The Jonas Brothers(they also have nothing to do with the cookie, so weird association choice by Crumbl).
