| - Move that Dough baking company hosts vegan brunches on the weekend's along with a few other stars of vegan cooking. This review is both a review of those brunches and Two Scoops delicious ice cream during the regular hours as well, as I have been lucky enough to have experience eating both!
Starting with the location. Two Scoops is a fun, playful atmosphere, with a a seating area indoors enough to probably fit 20-25 at most. There is additional seating outside with cute benches, although I think this will be much more useful in the summer months. They have a kids table that is precious and that I have sat at myself, but have also seen little ones enjoying with their scoops. The facilities are always clean, well lit, and open and with the colorful murals, you definitely don't miss the "ice cream shop" vibe.
Moving on to the brunches. Wow. I have followed Move that Dough for probably about a year and a half now, enthusiastically watching her social media as she hops from pop up event to pop event. Her products have always been high quality and delicious. Since she began to root at Two Scoops, she is still consistently making delicious and high quality products, but has expanded from just donuts (her initial speciality and still incredible) to other ambitions such as house made yeast buns, mouthwatering biscuits, yeasted donuts, cinnamon rolls and the list goes on. She is an expert in crafting both savory and sweet treats that don't overwhelm, but always deliver. Whenever I have one of her treats, I feel like I'm eating the comfort food my mom never made. I've tried such an array of her baked goods, it's a little embarrassing (blueberry cinnamon roll, pumpkin sweet roll, biscuits, yeast buns, lemon blueberry donuts, peanut butter fudge donuts, to say a few) and they are all just as good as the one before. The other chefs at the vegan brunch also always deliver, offering more savory options to the already huge spread. They are a sweet crew, going above and beyond and always full of light and energy. I have enjoyed ever time I have come out for a good cause and a good brunch.
Two Scoops ice cream is also incredible and their staff is just as lovely and light during normal working hours. They have always been willing to answer my questions, joke about whatever may be happening in the world or in the shop, and recommend amazing flavors. Just in general, the quality of this ice cream sings through by itself. It is creamy, full of amazing chunks, and lends itself well to pairing with flavors around it. I, and the numerous friends I bring to this place, have always walked away very, very, happy.
Two Scoops is definitely a Charlotte gem. Come out for Move that Dough's delicious brunches, then come right on back for a scoop later that evening. You won't be disappointed.
