I've driven by this ice cream shop many times and decided to try it out today. I got one scoop of…read morecookie dough, and one scoop of what she called a chocolate with chocolate peanut butter cup. The cookie dough one was delicious! The other one not so much, I didn't taste any peanut butter cups and the chocolate wasn't very chocolatey at all, I would not order that one again. Also I thought the price was kind of high, over $6 for two small scoops.

I got an iced sea salt caramel toffee macchiato--so yummy! And I loved that the staff asked if I wanted it mixed up or layered. I love seeing the layers so of course I opted to mix myself! My son picked out a strawberry cream cheese donut + devoured it before I could snap a pic so you know it was good! Their breakfast items looked really yummy so I'll for sure be back to try one of those and some ice cream! Loved that they had indoor and outdoor seating for any time of year. Overall a great find.

It's counter service, with seating available if you want to stay, or you can grab it to go. Service is efficient, and the space is clean, though the back-of-house area looked a little chaotic. Overall, a solid place for coffee and a quick bite.

Pricing is decent and there is a cool sitting area inside or a few benches outside along the sidewalk for your sitting pleasure. Today, I did the cookie dough milkshake and it was delicious! Last week I had a banana split, with is pricey but massive - I couldn't even finish the whole thing! The customer service was good both times. They also have specials on soft served cone ice creams on Sunday's too I think. They have about 8-10 different flavors from what I saw. The flavor I need to sample next time is called "exhausted parent"- lol

Wendell NC is a lovely small authentic NC town which consists of several small shall shops, mainly…read morebars and restaurants. One of those special small little shops is the creative cone, a family-owned frozen dessert business focused on delivering something deliciously unique to main street. Unlike DQ or any convenience store, the ice cream is small batch more delicious than any big box brand. The ideal ice cream shop goes beyond serving delicious frozen treats; it creates an immersive experience that delights customers through visual appeal, enticing aromas, high-quality ingredients, and friendly service. It becomes a place where customers can create cherished memories while indulging in their favorite frozen delights, and this is the focus of the creative cone. The creative cone brings a "build a bear" experience in the form of frozen desserts. They can build a cake or even flavor a soft serve and deliver it in a freshly baked waffle cone with all the fix-ins, without breaking a sweat. Wendell is lucky to have the creative cone, Cheers!

I had assumed (incorrectly) that Sugar Shack made their own ice cream. They don't. They scoop…read moreHershey's ice cream. So that's my bad, not there's. But had we known this was the same thing we can get at The General Store or HWY 41, we probably would have skipped it. That part behind us, the shoppe is charming and the grounds are lovely. My rating is not based on our personal experience (my wife and I agree we probably would give it 3 stars), but honestly, if you're a parent with young children and you want to take them for ice cream, this would be a lovely place to do it. Also, if you come later in the season when the gardens are at full growth, there's a wi derail learning opportunity here as well. So the ice cream experience wasn't the greatest for us...but the grounds, the friendly service, and the delightful setting ultimately made the whole experience quite wonderful.

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.
