Service was great and ice cream was delicious! The kiddos loved it and so many toppings to choose from. Got chocolate and cookie jar! Would highly recommend! read more

Went with a friend and we both thought our ice cream was just okay. I know it's in a touristy area but a bit overpriced for the portion size. It wasn't super busy when we came in but the two young ladies behind the counter were definitely eager to get us in and out. Not the warmest or most welcoming of customer service. They do have a nice selection of flavors to choose from though and they have a coffee menu as well. Love that's it's family owned. Be prepared for no seating available indoor or outdoor but it's a nice area that's walkable with other stuff to do. read more

BE Scooped - Banana Pudding Ice Cream in waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Banner Elk, North Carolina

So maybe it was just an off day but customer service wasn't very warm or friendly. My mom and I came here today to grab some coffees and they were good. I got a cinnamon bun latte and my mom ordered a lavender coffee. Both were good. Wasn't super pricey, we got two cups that were medium sized for $12.00, not bad for a touristy area. The place was clean and decorated cute, the coffee was good and pretty affordable, but 3 stars because both staff members were not very friendly and almost seemed like we were bothering them by coming in. Again, hopefully it was just an off day, but customer service definitely goes a long way, especially for people visiting out of town. I do recommend stopping by here to try coffee, lots of variety in their menu with flavors, and all the different milk options you can think of. :) read more

The ice cream was delicious. I had a double scoop of Sea Turtle in a waffle cone. I could smell the sweetness from the parking lot. The girl waiting on us was very friendly and let us try as many flavors as we wanted. I wish I had taken some pictures of the place and of the ice cream. Maybe next time. read more

Great ice cream shop in downtown Banner Elk. Staff is friendly and offer free samples. The spumoni flavor was so delicious. Waffle cones fresh and crispy. Great little space. read more

Busy little shop but the line moves quickly. They had some unique homemade flavors. The ice cream was very smooth and creamy.

Love your business your food, your service the service is great. The ambience is great love it.

The staff was super friendly. The ice creams were delicious! (Bake Shoppe, Sea Turtle, and Tennessee something were delicious!). They also have coffee and chocolate. They were nice to give us insight on weather and safety due to the snow and icy roads we were about to face. The ambiance was cute like a little boutique. It was clean. Loved it! read more

We were visiting the Banner Elk area from FL and the kids wanted some ice cream after a long hike to a waterfall. The girl working was so kind, she let the kids try a few flavors before they made their decision. Their scoop sizes are VERY generous! The Lemon Cheesecake Bar flavor was my favorite! read more

Nice little spot to grab an ice cream, shake, or malt. They have a decent selection of traditional and creative ice cream flavors. They also have toppings. My son got two scoops of the mint chocolate chip and my husband had a vanilla milkshake with order added in. They both enjoyed it. When we were waiting in line some guy ran in front of everyone in line (a woman accompanied him). He was holding a very dirty ice cream scoop that he found outside. They have a sign outside that says to find the golden scoop or something and your supposed to mention it for a free scoop. I don't really know but the guy left without a free scoop. They asked him to put the spoon back where he found it but i think he tossed it elsewhere. This part of our experience was weird. . . read more

I've recently found out that Be has a flavor of ice cream that I've been on the look out for.. It's practically sold out every time I go! This Ice Cream Today is made in Michigan.. it is a highly popular place and now we too can have it in the Mountains.. I wasn't crazy about the mint chip as it has an odd taste.. But the ice cream I've looked for for decades.. They had.. It's not kept on hand every day as their flavors change.. And yes they are Extremely expensive.. But if I could buy the whole 25 gallons I would! Nah you want to know which one? I'll never tell.. but I will say many people I've spoke to have never heard of it! Which surprised me! But I think (here's your clue) Because of the location and the background of ethnicity ... You might understand that they know! Oh and the young lady scooping. She was so sweet.. she deserves a raise! She needs a raise. If she's working for your business in BE she needs more hourly wage so she can continue to serve you clients!!!! It's way too expensive for our worker bees in BE.. read more

Decent ice cream, great service, lovely little area of shops. A bit pricey though (or maybe my mind still hasn't caught up to all the inflation?). read more

Service was nice and friendly. Small cute little shop. The prices were a little overboard. I was expecting the pricing like seen in previous reviews, but definitely gone up again. Milkshake was great! read more

Wow!!! Amazing ice cream place. We stopped here after playing games at the arcade next door. My son had the Superman and he enjoyed it so much he wouldn't even talk to people walking by asking him about it. I have a waffle cone with a flavor I think Baked Shoppe and it was incredible. If we had been staying closer I would have gone back to the arcade and ice cream again as it was so good. read more

Little pricey but good portions when you order in a cone! Pretty average flavors but neat vibe!

Great ice cream, no bathrooms but they are next door at the arcade. Smells yummy like waffle cones inside ! Stand in line only; minimal seating inside but lots of seating areas nearby at the shopping center area. read more

This is a great little shop. There was a huge variety of fun and unique ice cream flavors available as well as the classics, and the people working there were so nice and helpful. We got about five scoops of ice cream altogether and they were all very tasty. This is a very small shop with Covid protocols in place, so you won't be able to sit down to enjoy the scoop here. It's a lovely area to stroll, though, and there are some small shops nearby. read more

Very cute, very yummy. I got the cake pop ice cream in a waffle cone with sprinkles. 10/10 would recommend. Very cute area too

So creamy and worth the time to eat a little piece of happiness. The staff was professional and kind.

Great atmosphere in a beautiful outdoor strip on downtown Banner Elk. Amazing ice cream with very creative flavors!

Great ice cream and hot chocolate. Very friendly and cozy place for good treats. I recommend this place to all that come visit.

Small ice cream parlor with a cool vibe. Pros: girls behind the counter were nice. Ice cream was ok. They had a total of 16 flavors to choose from. Most of them were your ordinary flavors. Cons: not worth the price. We got a shake that was a "large" but served in the smallest possible cup they have. And it was $8.00. That's insane! We also got a root bear float. That was $7.00. That's only a taste of the prices. It's not high end ice cream but it's high end priced. I'll probably not come back. read more

Nice, courteous and efficient staff. Delicious ice cream, with new flavors to try added. We visit several times each time we vacation here. The space is bright, clean and open. read more

LOVED it! They rotate flavors so there are some flavors they will not have all of the time. It is a good flow since you walk in on one end and walk out on the opposite side; straight through. Ice cream is thick and flavorful. read more

Not the most amazing ice cream I've had. The Tennessee whiskey was a bit overloaded. The chocolate and peanut butter was pretty standard. Mint chocolate chip stood out, but nothing to write home about. The place has a cute small biz meets hipster vibe with really nice staff. Not my fave though. Big points for good social distancing practices. Felt totally safe. read more

AMAZING ice cream! I got the flavor cookie jar, which was Oreo ice cream, cookie dough bites, and oatmeal cookie M&Ms. My mom and step dad split the chocolate peanut butter flavor, and absolutely loved it. The employee on duty was very helpful, explained the flavors when we had questions, and gave out generous samples! I'll definitely be going back! read more

i have been going to the sugar mountain ice cream shop and they are absolutely fabulous. they give you huge amounts of ice cream and not very expensive. since i found out they are closed today i went to the be ice cream shop. the prices are much higher and you get a lot less ice cream. for example, i ordered an $8.50 hot fudge sundae. it was much smaller than the other shop and i received a small cup of hot fudge on the side (as i asked for on the side,) but it was so little fudge , it would've covered a small ice cream never mind and $8.50 ice cream,, very disappointed read more

Cute little ice cream shop! We had salty jack (caramel peanut), strawberry cheesecake & Superman (bright neon kids fruit flavor). Wear masks, 1 group at a time and seating outside in early 2021. read more

This was a nice find after a long, fun time on the nearby greenway and park. Storefront is small and tucked away so it's easy to miss, but it was a nice surprise to get ice cream that was the perfect end to the day outside. Lots of flavors were available and the service was great! read more

BE Scooped was such a sweet treat at the end of a fun day in Banner Elk! My husband and I came here to visit family, and were so impressed by the fast service and various flavors! We both got milkshakes, and our bellies were so happy! Can't wait to come back! read more

Ice cream is awesome. Rich and full of flavor. They make their own waffle cones. You must try!

Was passing though the area and found them here on yelp. Creative flavors and personable staff. Thank you for the treat.

They have a nice selection of flavors to choose from, some unique ones too. I got the maroon berry in a milkshake and really enjoyed it. The young girls running the counter were friendly and fast. The owners were kind of just sitting back and watching. I gave it 3 stars because I found it pretty overpriced for what we got. I think it was $7 for the small milkshake and it wasn't filled to the top. The person I was with got ice cream in a cone and it barely met where the waffle cone ridge was. Not quite worth the prices they've got going. That being said, it was good ice cream read more

New owners and they no longer offer non-dairy or sugar-free options. Except for one sorbet. I'm sure for all the ice cream lovers this place will be greatly enjoyed. The new decor is fresh and relaxing. Loved the new pub height table outside along with a little Tykes car to keep young children entertained. They offer floats as well. Give them a try. Met the owner and she is very nice. read more

We absolutely love ice cream so we search out the local shops when we travel. Interestingly the flavors were either really good or totally bland. The mint chocolate chip was delicious. My bestie got the cheesecake chocolate chip and it was also delicious. The only complaint is that the girl working here had no semblance of customer service. My hubby wanted the vanilla and she said "there's not enough out here to make a scoop". We weren't sure if that meant she was going to the back to bring more out or not. But she didn't make a move so we figured not. Then the lady that came in after us asked for a root beer float and she was told they didn't have enough vanilla out to make one. The girl working couldn't make the effort to go bring more out from the back. Go figure? read more

very good ice cream very clean great service we enjoyed it would highly recommend this place when in the area read more

I download Yelp just to leave this review. The ice cream here is amazing and the staff at great. They have allergen labels on all of the flavors, and descriptions of what's in them. They cycle the flavors from day to day, but there is always 16 to choose from. The milkshakes are good but the ice cream is better imo. It is delicious and the Eskimo Kiss (coconut and chocolate) ice cream is the best. The staff were understanding to our problems, gave us huge scoops, and were nice to talk to. No complaints, maybe adding hot fudge as a topping is the only change I could see. read more

Delicious ice cream in all flavors. Loved the blackberry last visit. Great staff and safe Covid protocol. Highly recommend!

Stopped in while walking around to enjoy some ice cream. Bailey, the owner, helped us and was very accommodating. We had Salty Jack, Cookie Dough and Jacked Up Tennessee Toffee all were creamy and tasty! She even has doggie ice cream! She gives first responders and military discount which I appreciate she honors our service. Prices are reasonable and I was glad they had an extra small. We will stop in again! read more
