    ice cream
    Isla L.

    i love this place. i came here for the first time today, it was the most thick ice cream i've probably had in a long time. they get your ice cream fast, and the workers are friendly. the scenery outside is beautiful too. best place to go get ice cream in matthews.

The place was packed, the drive thru line was wrapped around the building and the customers were growing impatient waiting for their orders. We got in line and waited to place our order wondering if we made a mistake. It wasn't a very long wait until we were ablet to place our orders and even though Andy's was as busy as it was, the gentleman that took our order was really nice and patient. Long story but in the end that same gentleman singlehandedly finished taking orders, jumped into the back and caught all of the walk up orders up by hustling back and forth. There were three people working the drive thru and he, alone, was taking orders and filling them. I wish I had his name to give him the proper props. There was a long wait but given the hustle of this one employee I was okay with the wait. I ordered the triple chocolate concrete. They were out of cookie dough so I substituted for brownie. Overall it was a good choice for chocolate lovers. The ice cream is very smooth and their is not shortage of cookie dough or chocolate chips. Overall, a great place for a twist on ice cream. Great location and I will say this could have been a horrible experience had it not been for that one employee.

I love coffee, omg please try out their coffee flavor. We already tried almost all their flavor ice cream including the special flavor for holidays. We came cross country from West coast to East coast for The Local Scoop, yep because we never find The Best homemade ice cream at the West Cost like The Local Scoop!!! Like, even we took our family and friends from around the world to come try their ice cream. I have sister from China she doesn't like sweet, when I told her that we will take her to try out an ice cream. She kind of doubt to go. But after she tried she was super happy and said: wow I want another one We took her back right the way the next day and she tried two flavor right the way at that time (look not a big fans of sweet person able to enjoy ) If you never try, please give it a try and we guarantee will not disappoint you at all. You can come enjoy the cute downtown Matthews and get The Local Scoop ice cream or you can go to enjoy the Ballantyne with The Local Scoop ice cream too since they have it in both locations. All the workers or servers are very friendly, young and nice. The owner has integrity and easy going. Note: love it "we proud to support local businesses."

    I love Jeremiah's, but this particular location is seriously lacking in customer service training…read more I visited with a group of four to celebrate my birthday and redeem my birthday reward. After we placed and paid for our order, we were informed that they were out of the caramel flavor, which two of us had ordered. When we asked how long it would take to restock, one employee told us 30 minutes while another said it could take hours. Since we couldn't get a clear answer, we decided to change our order, which required a refund. The employee who processed the refund, whom I believe was named Ashley, was giggling throughout the interaction and seemed unsure whether the refund had actually gone through. When we asked for confirmation, she could not provide a clear answer. I eventually had to go back inside and speak with the shift lead, who was the only helpful employee we encountered. He was able to pull up our order and show us the receipt, but the totals on the receipts did not match, which only added to the confusion. We never received a clear explanation about whether the refund was completed or whether my birthday reward had been properly applied. Overall, the experience was disappointing and frustrating, especially for what was supposed to be a birthday celebration. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this location.

    Who says you have to wait for summer to have ice cream as a treat?…read more Friendly staff and delicious ice cream make for a winning combination. You can either use the drive thru or walk up to the window to order. This is THE place for cool treats. It had been some time since we had visited and we were craving a brownie sundae. We decided to share and save up our holiday calorie allotment. Score! The sundae was the size of an adult's Head! A warm brownies was topped with two scoops of great ice cream in your choice of flavors topped with fluffy whip cream and a cherry. Definitely a cool spot for cool treats.

I'll order a kids cup one scoop with chocolate syrup, wet walnuts, whipped cream, and a cherry. Are you ready for this? Take a guess how much a kids cup would be a granite I do understand they charge extra for some toppings but that son of a bitch was eight dollars! After I questioned it the girl at the drive-through said yes, sir we don't like our prices either and agree with you. I almost didn't get the ice cream but you know how it is when you have kids and they're expecting it I was not expecting it to go from four dollars for the kids cup to eight dollars to be double the price once again I'll say it again for a tiny little kids cup. I haven't been to this Brewsters in years and I'll make sure this is the last time I ever come to this one again it'll be Dairy Queen from here on out.
