    Kids sundae
    Jennifer O.

    After living in Ohio earlier in life, we LOVE having Whit's in NC!! The best frozen custard with the best flavor creations! We've got out kids hooked on it now, too.

    Simply amazing! Ever since I've had their Luscious Lake Norman, I have looked for every excuse to come back for more. Now, whenever we have a guest in town, we make it a point to bring them to Whit's. All our guests have enjoyed it as well! Their concept is simple. Whit's offers vanilla, chocolate, or flavor of the week. From there, you can choose to add toppings. You can also choose from one of their many specialties, favorites, shakes, and kids menu all with a vanilla base. You have an option of cones or cups (4 sizes). Portions are great and prices are very reasonable. The shop is small and space is tight. Seating is limited, but most customers go in and out quickly or sit outside. Service is fast and friendly.

    Riding around Davidson last night, just hanging out with my teenage daughter and we just happened upon Whit's. It was freezing outside, so I thought we'd have the place to ourselves. Silly me. Whit's has 3 flavors at any given time: Vanilla, chocolate and a flavor of the day. Yesterdays Flavor of the Day was Chocolate covered Strawberry! Strawberry frozen custard with chocolate shavings mixed in. That's what I wanted, but my daughter wanted plain old vanilla to go with our shared Brownie Sundae. Turns out it was delicious, anyway. The Brownie makes this sundae. They warmed it and it was one of those gooey undercooked brownies. OMG, so good. I was shivering while eating it, but didn't even care. They even distribute the hot fudge throughout too, so you have a little bit of it in every gooey bite. I'm telling you, it was pure perfection. Whit's is small but be patient. The frozen custard, and other treats in the freezer are so worth it.

    Sorry that my captions have been so vanilla lately

    If you can match Whit's, then you've got a hell of a frozen custard on your hands. Maybe it will wash off. I'm at my Whit's End trying to describe how delicious Whit's Frozen Custard is. I adore Frozen Custard because it's so creamy and milky and perfect. This is a great place to get it at its best. Probably the best I've had in Carolina for sure. Probably for sure. The lines are usually long but then so am I. Well worth a try and the vanilla is utterly delicious. Or perhaps I should say udderly delicious. Because I love Whit's like no udder.

    Your basic frozen custard stand staffed by young people and patronized by children of all ages. Had dinner across the way and got a hankering for creamy icy goodness afterwards. Word of caution: the absence of a proper crosswalk emphasizes that east-side sidewalk is not well suited to foot traffic, just cross at Eugenia. A most satisfactory black cow, a sundae, or cup-o-custards can be had for a few bucks. Sit outside and take in the splendor of unseasonably warm temperatures or sit inside without wondering when the rain will stop, your call.

    I love walking on these beautiful summer days and hitting up Whitt's for a sweet treat. They have a window to place orders at the front of the building. Order, pay, make a quick walk around to the side and there is another window for pick ups. Fun concoctions. A mini is PLENTY.

    Small neighborhood custard shop.

    Cute little ice cream shop Easy parking right out front. Cute shops next door too Order at the small counter and wait a short time for your order There are a few indoor tables and a couple out front There are some already packed ice cream cartons in a to go freezer The ice cream Tastes great and you can get lots of toppings Casual and nice to have in the neighborhood

    Paid for a medium and feel I didn't get all that I paid for. Everyone else was walking out with a cup over filled with ice cream and I had a half filled cup. They seemed as if they were in a rush. And sat your custard down with ice cream all over the sides and cups filthy with chocolate that should have been in the cup. Big turn off for my first time. I also got my husband one his is over flowing yet mine doesn't even touch the top of the cup. What makes a person happy is when they know that they are getting what they pay for. This better be great because this has already left a sour taste in my mouth. Edit: the custard was great and I really enjoyed it. I will go back and give them another try. Someone did reach out to apologize and stated that there are new employees so I'll give them another try for sure.

    I'm a huge dessert and sweet lover, but I'm embarrassed to share I haven't had frozen custard before..until now! Well that won't be the case anymore. Frozen custard is delicious. After some research, it is creamier than ice cream due to using the yolk in the egg (whereas ice cream only uses the whites) and a higher percentage of butterfat. I prefer creamier ice creams so this may become my go to. Like a Dairy Queen Blizzard, you can get a "whizzard" with add in's mixed in to the custard. The generic custard flavors are vanilla and chocolate, and they have a weekly flavor of the week (this time it was mint chocolate chip). You can get it in cones or cups, with toppings mixed in or on top. We will be back soon!

    melted pretty fast and it's cold outside

    I give the custard 4,5 stars but the place smells like sewer gas. I fear that the building is not safe.

    Arrived on a Tuesday night close to closing time. There were 4 of us. Service was at the window and…read morepretty quick. Portions were huge. They are located in a basic strip mall so not much for ambience / character. The mint chocolate chip ice cream lacked depth of flavor but was still pretty good. What I really didn't like - the young girl that made my ice cream cone held the cone over the garbage can to add the chocolate sprinkles. And I mean almost in the garbage can. Hopefully it is a dedicated can for such work. If not... yikes. The cone was excellent.

    On a trip this past summer to the Charlotte/Concord/Kannapolis area, we stopped at this Handel's…read morelocation for some ice cream on our way out of town. We used to have a Handel's location closer to us, and we miss it greatly, so we make sure to stop anytime we are near one! Handel's is located in a strip mall-type area, in a corner unit. Specifically, it is located right off of 77 and W Catawba Avenue. There is plenty of parking for the complex, so that will not be an issue. The store has plenty of visible signage to point you in the right direction. Our visit was on a Thursday evening in July, a little after 8:00 PM. There were several groups enjoying ice cream, but there was not an overwhelming line. I believe we only had two or three people in front of us before we were able to order. The area outside of the store is not overwhelmingly large, but they have a roped-off area to show where the line should form to avoid it spilling into the dining areas. Some Handel's locations have an inside, but this location is completely outdoors. So, to place your order you simply walk up to the windows, and can then enjoy their patio seating or take your items to-go. When you approach the windows, you will see all of the signage, menu items, and flavors. The flavors were located on a sandwich board on the ground, which made it difficult to see if you were not directly in front of the windows. I could see this being a challenge if there was a long line, as one would not be able to see the flavor lists until right before ordering. We were waited on by a few of the staff members. Since it was not that busy when we ordered, they seemed to be splitting duties. My fiance ordered a Small Cake Cone of Key Lime Pie, and I got a 4 Scoop Sampler with Frosted Animal Cookie, Monkey Business, Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie, and Blue Moon. I thought the scoops on the 4 Scoop were somewhat small, but no complaints other than that. Additionally, we ordered a Dogster for our dog, and of course he loved it! Personally, the Frosted Animal Cookie was the only flavor I had not tried previously. It was alright...it is very sweet and truthfully did not remind me much of the cookie (besides the actual inclusions of animal cookies in the ice cream). It was made well, but just personally not for me. I have had all of the other flavors before, and they were all great. I love the uniqueness of Blue Moon, and also how refreshing Key Lime Pie always is. Since it was such a nice night, we enjoyed our ice cream on the patio. I love the lights they have strung up over the seating. There were probably around 5 to 6 tables, and a few benches around the perimeter of the patio. I am not sure how busy this location gets, but I could see there being a lack of seating during peak business times. However, we had no issue grabbing a table to sit at during this visit. I thought the prices were in line with what I would expect from a Handel's. Being that I am not from this area, it is hard to say if it is in line with other ice cream shops in the area. For all three of our items, it was around $15 with tax. My only complaint is that the Dogster was $3, which seems high. The staff were friendly and conversational. Since there was no line, I was talking with the one staff member about the Handel's that used to be near us, and enjoyed learning more about this particular location through our conversation. Overall, we enjoyed checking out a Handel's location we had never been to before. This is in a nice area, has plenty of parking, is clean, and has a nice atmosphere. My only critiques were the positioning for the flavors in relation to the line, pricing on some items, and the portion of the 4 Scoop Sampler. However, do not let that deter you from stopping here for a sweet treat if you are in the area!

Visiting from out of town so I wanted to try a local coffee place. The rating and the name sounded encouraging. Only one person working so the line to order was long. We asked for the egg sandwiches featured prominently on a sign at the entrance ... and they were not available. In fact, the bakery case was nearly empty. At 8:30 a.m. The woman behind the counter suggested two of their breakfast croissants. We asked to have them heated. After a, no kidding, 10 minute wait she let us know that she had broken the oven. So we asked for them cold because we needed to go. They were dreadful. Tossed mine. And in a wonderful display of irony, even their large screen television menu failed while we were in the room. I will say that the coffee was perfectly serviceable. Experiences like this are why people go to chains like Starbucks for coffee and breakfast. I would say I want my tip back, but I suspect she is so frazzled that she earned it and then some. Absolute disaster. I hope our experience was a one off.
