All this time gallivanting around Ballantyne Village and I finally made it in for a scoop of ice cream! My wife and I enjoyed an indie film matinee (it's hard not to call it a manatee) for a mid-afternoon snack.
When you cross the threshold, you're bombarded with sweet smells of fudge-y, caramel-y, creamy glory. Two staff members behind the glass work station with large, copper kettles stirring marvelous mixtures of sugar-laden snacks and treats. It's like a children's book came to life in south Charlotte.... If fresh fudge is being made, they'll hand out samples!
The ice cream selection is vast. Plenty of chocolates, fruits, nuts, and other mixtures to choose from. Something for everyone, of course. The waffle cones are made fresh in house and are definitely better than the pre-packaged cake cones. We had fresh peach ice cream and a cone of the turtle ice cheesecake ice cream. Both were a delectable treat for a hot afternoon!
Prices are moderate. Cost about $9 for one cup and one cone.
Service was very friendly and fast! If I'm in the area, this is a great place to grab a cone or a cup and go for a walk around the Village!
