The staff were friendly and the shop was clean and organized. I decided on the mango flavored frozen yogurt, I added a combo of coconut and the tart original plain yogurt. My toppings included pineapple and strawberry popping boba, kiwi, fresh mango and coconut shavings. Very tropical and Caribbean. Their watermelon flavor was not replenished so I couldn't indulge in that. This was so refreshing for a sweet treat on a 98 degree day. The shop is located next to Red Bowl and Golden Krust.

Howling Cow Creamery is on part of NC State University's working dairy farm. The ice cream is…read moreproduced by the university. If you are looking for the nearby museum, that is the Randleigh Heritage Museum. It is a little further up the road, but appointments are usually required. Howling Cow has parking right outside, just watch the signs, as a few spots don't allow parking because of loading zones. Pets are not allowed, so leave them at home. Howling Cow sells ice cream, milk, sodas, water, cheese and other merchandise, such as clothing and water bottles, inside. The coolers are filled with to-go items, and there is even a separate check-out. If you are looking to enjoy your order there, you order at the register. They are a cashless facility, so remember your credit or debit card. You can get cones, cups, sundaes, and milkshakes. There are a few tables inside, and if you prefer to sit on the covered porch, there are tables and even some rocking chairs. The cows sometimes roam the pastures on cooler days. This visit, I went with the chocolate peanut butter ice cream brownie sundae. I wasn't expecting it to be so big and have as many of the toppings as it did. I couldn't finish it, but they had tops to put on it so you could take it to go. These were near where you pick up your order, so it's easy to grab one if you need one. If you are looking for quality ice cream with a variety of flavors in a peaceful setting, check out Howling Cow.

I assumed this place would be similar to the Tillamook Creamery since "education center" is…read moreliterally in the name. But there is absolutely nothing educational about it -- it's just an ice cream shop. They don't accept cash (legal tender), and there are no signs anywhere telling you that beforehand. They also won't let you sample flavors, so if you end up disliking what you ordered, too bad. Meanwhile, they had one employee working the register while five others just stood around. They're not pet friendly at all either -- no complimentary pup cups, just $1 for a tiny squirt of whipped cream in a cup. I ordered the cookie dough ice cream, which was advertised as cookie dough flavored ice cream with cookie dough chunks. What I got was basically plain vanilla ice cream with maybe three tiny pieces of cookie dough in the entire serving.

I noticed their super adorable truck while making some returns at Crabtree. Their retro truck is…read moreparked right in the main lobby at Crabtree. Level one, across from H&M and the Lego Store. Their options are simple-- cone, cup, or milkshake. You pick either chocolate or vanilla and then the cereal you'd like mixed in with it. You can also add additional toppings for .75 cents each. I decided to go with vanilla in a cone with fruity pebbles. They had a great variety of cereals to choose from. I was a little skeptical at first, but the softserve was pretty delicious. So few places in the area do soft serve and I'm always a fan. The cone was huge though. They only offer one size, I wish they'd have a smaller size open to choose from. Overall super tasty, great location if you are at the mall already, I just wish they had more of a variety of size options.

The waffle was crispy and golden brown on the outside, while being fluffy and airy on the inside. I will definitely be back!

They have a decent variety of ice cream flavors for also being a shop that offers fudge and other delicacies. You can get samples of all the flavors which is nice.

Inside you can browse around and see the different types of desserts they have. I got a sundae and some fudge to go. The ice cream is good enough and the fudge is very decadent.

She has such a wonderful personality and knows her ice cream. I was one of the first to enjoy her Gluten free Coffee ice cream with chopped up chocolate-covered espresso beans throughout. Then George took the cup of this delicious ice cream and torched it for a brulee finish. Amazing, indescribable, and I will be back for more soon kind of flavors! I have since checked out her flavor options and kick myself for not visiting her shop soon over at Iron Works. It is so close to where we live in downtown Raleigh. No more excuses. We are heading there this weekend for a Valentine's Day treat of one of her many boutique flavors. Plus I love that Andia truly cares about the Gluten Free population and offers so many wonderful-sounding flavors for them.

We decided to get ice cream in waffle cone since we couldn't get the milkshakes. I got the Cookies N Cream in a waffle cone My wife got the Cotton Candy in a waffle cone. The cookies N Cream was good but, the waffle cone was not. The waffle cones are the "softer" ones, i was expecting the classic crunchy waffle cone. I just ate the ice cream with a spoon out of the cone. The cotton candy was not good. It tasted like sugar free ice cream. Same thing with the waffle cone as I previously wrote. The service was great! The ambiance was nice. Not sure if we would go back, our favorite ice cream shop is in Durham and I would prefer to drive 30Min to that place. I would rate Andia's ice cream shop 5th in the Raleigh/Durham area for ice cream. *I would say give it a try I may love it.
