Walking by Prudence McCabe, you might not step in because you are not in the mood for sweets, but…read morebelieve me don't let this opportunity pass. Go in there and buy a few bakery goods, you will not be disappointed. Surry County is know for a regional dessert called Sonker. This is the craziest word, it makes me think someone was calling it something else and the Southern tongue made it sonker. But I have no proof of this or even heard anyone saying, just my theory. A sonker can be made differently, but I had three from three restaurants, because once you try it, you are ready to try more because they are most delicious! At Prudence McCabe it is like a thinner cobbler, with equal parts fruit and crust. The most intriguing part, she says they bake the sonkers and then grate cold butter on it with a sprinkle of sugar. Stop you had me at hello. What I really enjoyed was that it wasn't sticky sweet, call ahead and order some so you can choose your flavors, and it can be ready when you arrive. Or buy some to heat up later. There are many other treats, don't overlook the caramel and candid apples, the handmade chocolates, scones and there were bags of oyster crackers when we were there. Super friendly staff too.

It's hard for me to give this place a whole hearted accurate review seeing that I'm not a popcorn…read morefan, other than kettle corn, which they didn't have (yet, they quickly said!) I stopped in on my way to the Juice Shop out of curiosity and was greeted friendly by the employees and offered samples of anything. They had quite a number of sample jars of all sorts of popcorn from sweeter "candy flavors" (think the fair colored popcorn in purple and green) to the salty flavors of dill pickle, pizza, and jalapeño BBQ to name a few. At their suggestion I tried French Toast which was good but seeing I'm not a fan of overly sweet popcorn I couldn't eat a bunch of it. But for those people who like caramel corn, this is right up your alley. I happened to like the pizza and jalapeño BBQ flavors, and wanted to try the dill pickle but also didn't want to look like I was just eating a bunch of samples. Wait, I think I was already doing that... Prices seemed a little high, but then again I'll clearly state again I'm not a popcorn fan so why would I pay for something I'm not a fan of? People who love popcorn might think its reasonable, so take my words with a grain of salt. If you ever remember the old Cotton Mill Square popcorn stand, the smell of candy corn wafting through the halls and that brings good memories to you, you might want to check this place out.

I bought a groupon for this place, since I'm a popcorn-a-holic and supporter of local businesses…read more I'm admittedly disappointed in this place. The flavors are unique and plentiful, but the popcorn itself is incredibly stale. I'm guessing they don't do a ton of business and that the popcorn sits in the very lightly sealed bags on the shelves for a long time. That, combined with the very odd relationship between the employees (brother and sister, maybe? They certainly fought like siblings) is enough to turn me off. Wouldn't recommend.

I've only had their Italian ice and cupcakes here which is always delicious! They have a good selection of ice flavors and a medium is $3.25 for up to 2 flavors (pictured) and enough to share between two people. They also have a smaller size (1 flavor) and large (3 flavors), I don't remember the pricing but it's all under $5! The flavors are so accurate, fruity, and not overly sick and the quantity is amazing for the price. Watermelon is my absolute favorite. Their cupcakes are also my favorite. Light fluffy cake base with whipped sweet frosting. They sold out today so I wasn't able to see or remember their flavors but they usually offer a range. My only wish is that they were open for longer hours during the week, sometime it's hard to stop by!
