The employees were friendly and let me sample a few different flavors of ice cream, which is standard for most ice cream shops. I settled on 2 scoops- one of dulce de Leche and one of coconut.

"Outstanding ice cream and wide variety on Lake Park Blvd in Carolina Beach"…read more We came here on a Thursday afternoon, and WOW, we were impressed. I'm lactose intolerant, and first thing I saw was a selection of about 8 vegan options, only one of which was a sorbet, as well as an ad for vegan whipped cream. The restaurant was bright and airy and had both indoor seating as well as some seating just outside. The staff were super friendly, and they let me try a large number of options before picking. I ended up going with coconut lime vegan ice cream, very much like key lime pie. My girlfriend got the birthday cake flavored vegan ice cream. Mine was also delicious-- it had nice pieces of coconut in it, adding extra texture, and MAN was it tasty. My girlfriend's was also super yummy- tasted to me a lot like regular birthday cake ice cream. I confess I Google'd right away to see if this store had a branch near where I live so I could frequent it, but alas, the chain is only here in the Wilmington area. So far. Definitely worth a try-- highly recommend!

Cinnamon roll is a little pricey at $9.36 even at its big size. But if you pay with cash, you get a discount according to their menu. Sadly, I already paid with credit card. I didn't read that part on the menu until it was too late. The only thing the cashier person said was, if I was paying with card or cash and didn't say anything else, even when I asked her if there is a difference. Anyway, I think I was distracted because they just baked a fresh batch of cinnamon rolls right when I arrived. They were nice and warm with gooey icing. The dough itself didn't have much flavor, no buttery flavor. Luckily, the buttery icing made up for that. I wouldn't mind eating it again, but it wouldn't be my first choice for cinnamon rolls.

They were helpful explaining the menu and figuring out which one to choose. They checked in on me while I was eating the ice cream. Tons of seating available, including booths and high chairs. There are some connect 4 games. There are also two claw machines with your stuff or this ball looking toy. It would be nice if they had music playing. The only noise playing was one of the claw machine melody playing over and over with a brief break every few minutes for only a few seconds. It was a mistake to sit next to it. They have Waffle cones, ice cream sandwiches, kids menu, blended sundaes "vortex", and "stackers" which are just cups of ice cream with toppings. Sundaes start out with either vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or mint chip, then a specific type of cereal and toppings. They have some vegan flavors (chocolate chunk, cookie dough, vanilla) and sugar-free ice cream (chocolate, and vanilla). The stackers come in three different sizes either the cub (2 scoops, $9.99) as the smallest, then yeti, then avalanche. Vortex/sundaes is about the amount of "cub". I was able to try some samples of the ice cream ice cream brand is either Hershey's or bluebell. I sampled peanut butter pie, brownie batter, coffee's cookies and cream, and cappuccino crunch ice cream flavors. I wasn't into the brownie batter since the chunk of brownie in the ice cream tasted artificial to me. Ultimately went with the Alpine morning brew which is the cappuccino crunch ice cream topped with marshmallow fluff, Oreo crumbles, toffee bits, and a chocolate fudge sauce. It was deliciously sweet-loved the fresh Oreos and crunchiness from the toffee bits. Definitely felt a sugar high after eating most of it. They have a loyalty rewards system you can easily sign up for when ordering by entering in your number on the check out machine. Note there is a 3% credit card surcharge.

But the showcases were not full, so lots of traffic before me. I was only going to look but when I saw the bagels , the sesame one was calling out to me. I was tempted to purchase the salt one, but decided on the sesame. It was huge , and plenty of seeds on it. Next time a cinnamon roll will call out to me. The staff member was friendly and did not rush me in making my choice. Brought the bagel home, it was a little soft, I like more of a crunchy outside and the inside I found a little doughy. But it had great flavor, toasted perfectly. Next time it may be a toss up , cinnamon roll or salted bagel , or both. Loved the non rushed atmosphere in the store.

Latella is far superior to any of them, and to most other sugary treat options nearby. It appears to still be family-run (seemingly by a different family than was running it a few years ago... but the quality remains high -- they just need to put up some atmospheric photos of the new family's ancestors) and resembles some of the great gelato shops I encountered on the Italian coast. The gelato is great, with a revolving variety of flavors -- something for everyone. Plus, floats and other fun things. Once again, the quality is far superior to any ice cream shop in town. Also, it is particularly wonderful that the shop is usually open, with someone at the counter, during listed business hours. Most other places, and, in particular, those that sell frozen things, tend to close up early when it's cold out (or for any other random reasons, in North Carolina). It is the sign of a great business, and usually a family-run one, that they are available even during slow hours. And much appreciated by customers who enjoy the colder weather, but would still like to challenge their diabetes with some excellent pistachio gelato.
