I absolutely love Waxhaw Ice Cream's ice cream. The product itself is delicious, and I'm always…read morehappy to grab it at Emmet's or the Union Exchange. Unfortunately, I really don't enjoy the experience of actually visiting the shop. The biggest frustration is the ordering process. It's the first ice cream shop I've been to where you wait through the entire line before you can even place your order, and then you're given a buzzer and have to wait again. With kids, that means waiting twice and makes the inside of the restaurant very crowded, which can make what should be a quick ice cream run unnecessarily frustrating. Another thing I find disappointing is that they don't offer samples. With so many flavors to choose from, being able to try a flavor before committing to a scoop seems like a pretty basic part of the ice cream shop experience. I also have to say that the customer service has consistently left something to be desired. The person I assume is the owner often comes across as though she'd rather be anywhere else, and the overall interaction doesn't feel particularly welcoming or friendly. It's a shame because I genuinely love the ice cream! I just wish the in-store experience matched the quality of the product. I'll happily continue buying Waxhaw Ice Cream elsewhere, but I find myself avoiding the actual shop because of the experience.

Now that downtown Waxhaw…read moreis boasting some serious foodie game in their restaurants, this makes the perfect dessert stop after dinner. You can walk here too! The shop is really adorable and has seating inside. There are SOOO many flavors of cookie dough. No need to worry about getting sick. The ingredients are pasteurized so you will be fine. If you feel intimidated like I did, you can always ask to sample the flavors before getting a scoop. My favorite flavor is cookie butter. My husband loved the snicker doodle. Of course, you can not go wrong with chocolate chip cookie dough. The cookie dough tastes just like homemade cookie dough. Prices are very reasonable at just $4 for one scoop, $6 for two scoops, and $8 for three scoops. I will say that the scoops are very generous. Make sure to check out this great local business. I love this concept. Its definitely refreshing instead of the run of the mill frozen yogurt shops around.

Well-crafted, naturally leavened breads and pastries w/ a rustic twist, exceptional service, delicious local coffee and all of the good vibes. I recently visited and picked up some pastries - a croissant, a pain au chocolat, and my fave: a kouign- amann. You know how your chocolate croissant never has enough chocolate? Virtuoso serves up the right balance of flaky, buttery, crackly pastry w/ a nice thin layer of chocolate that covers the entire base of the pastry - perfection! These aren't croissants are airy and light as they should be. Now to my fave - the kouign-amann with a twist. A buttery toasty laminated pastry similar to croissant but and filled with a creamy not-to-sweet egg custard that will make you swoon! It's like if a a kouign-amann and a Portuguese pastel-de-nata had a baby! #IYKYK They have a great variety of sourdough breads including baguettes, country loaves and some made with locally-milled whole grains. The coffee is locally roasted Enderly coffee. The record player spins cool tunes and the good vibes are off the charts. What a blessing to have this place in our backyard. Runs don't walk, y'all.

The service is fantastic because Shannon (the baker/business owner) is extremely attentive to answering questions via text, call, email, Instagram (charlottesugarrush), etc. There isn't an ambiance to speak of since she makes these at home and the customer picks it up, however the presentation is beautiful and she gave me candles and a happy birthday cake decorator for free! It's a bit pricey, but I feel that's common for small business owners and supporting local goods, but if you're anywhere near Waxhaw on any given day, it is worth picking one up!

Good amount of seating inside (mostly 2-seaters; one larger table reserved for bigger groups). Helpful and friendly staff who were amazing with my little one. You have to try a slice of the basque cheesecake. The plain slice (with no whipped cream or fruit topping) is not overly sweet and the perfect amount of "burnt" & creamy. We also tried the madeleines, which - as the café's name suggests - were on point. And the garlic bagel is a garlic + cream cheese lover's dream. The iced dalgona latte was such a treat. Sweet with a creamy foam and topped with crunchy cookies - very well balanced and delightful to drink. The prices reflect the care and high quality of the products.
