Carolina Cones is on the way to Davidson coming down 115. This place has a historic vibe and reminds me of an ice cream shop from the 50s. The selections are tasty, including the classic ice cream boats you remember such as Banana Splits along with new spins on it such as my favorite the Reese's boat.
They have cones, shakes, cakes, and ice cream. My wife's cone of choice is the Raspberry Truffle, it is very smooth almost like a sherbert. In the Spring and early summer they have a greenhouse outside that also sells flowers and plants. It works out as you can grab a cone and tour the greenhouse taking in the smell of fresh flowers.
They also have a playground for kids and a small outside seating area with a fountain.
