They said they post where they'll be on their social media, but that they often are parked in downtown Kernersville (right by the Social Habit) on Wed, Sat and Sun. They're new location is opening right by there, which is such a win for the community. I first got to try them out at a Yelp event, so I knew they had great options before stopping by their food truck this evening. I got a double, and chose these two options: Hello Darkness and Cookie Attack. Their ice cream is soft, but not too soft- if that makes sense. The Hello Darkness was chocolate to the max and I loved it. Also, the Cookie Attack was a cool take on a cookie-based ice cream. It was way different from anything- not a "cookies and cream" and not a "cookie dough" - just a really nice nod to a chocolate chip cookie mainly. They also have the Bees Knees, which involves a honeycomb toffee. There's a local candy in western NY called "sponge candy." Very, very similar to this- but they way they do it is much gentler on the teeth. Overall, great stuff. They have a nice reward program to boot. So, definitely worth checking out!

We wanted to try something new for desserts, so my wife grabbed a few things from this spot off…read moreJonestown. I wasn't there, so I can't speak to the layout and setup, but she thought the spot was inviting. We ended up with 6 cupcakes (2 chocolate, a honey bun, carrot cake and 2 vanilla) and added 3 brown butter choc chip cookies and a confetti cookie sandwich. The honey bun cupcakes had more of a cinnamon flavor going for it, but one thing I enjoyed was the frosting. I was glad to not have frosting that was ridiculously sweet. The cake was dense.....not dry, but denser than what you'd get from spots nearby, including the chain places. I think it paired well with the frosting, but don't expect the cake part to be light and fluffy. I keep going back to the frosting....was very silky tasting. The same with the vanilla cupcakes...cake itself was dense but did have vanilla flavor and you can tell she uses real vanilla. Frosting was exceptional as well. I haven't tried the chocolate one yet, but my wife says it was the best one of the group so far. Regarding the cookies, I'll say that brown butter ones are ok, but not my preference as I prefer a bit of a more buttery flavor? Idk if I'm making sense here, but I prefer something different as far as a more not as sweet cookie and sweet choc chips. There's have great texture and the choc chips are great too. The flavor is too sweet for me though. Again, not my preferred type of choc chip, but it doesn't take away from how it was baked and the texture. I think the only knock would be the honey bun flavor tasting like a cinnamon roll? It was still decent though and got ate regardless. We're already planning another trip to check out their brownies and some of their other stuff.

Hey Family! I love discovering places, based solely on a recommendation. Coincidentally, I was…read moredoing a Yelp event nearby and I was making conversation when the bartender suggested that I come here. I haven't tried many vegan desserts because I find that something is always missing, it's lacking flavor, or not sweet enough. I can CONFIDENTLY say that, The Ginger Bread Man Bakery is absolutely amazing and had none of those problems. I dare say that these vegan desserts actually tasted better than some of my other favorite bakeries. I love that this gives me another reason to come to Winston. It's really cute and cozy in the inside. However, it is small but there is some seating. The person at the counter was super helpful and very friendly. She said that of course I couldn't go wrong with getting the classic gingerbread which was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised at how moist it was. There were also a variety of cupcakes where they do rotate them out pretty often. I opted for the blueberry Chai cupcake. I enjoyed the frosting and it had like a blueberry filling on top as well. And lastly I tried the blueberry Cookie Butter Mini pie. That one was very addicting. I tried my best not to eat the whole thing. Since it was warm outside and I had to drive back to Greensboro, I loved that the mini pies where refrigerated and the person at the counter, actually wrapped it up for me so it could stay cool on the ride home. I will definitely come back to try more items and I can add this place in rotation with my favorite bakeries. If you are in the area, do check this place out. You won't be disappointed.

We had an amazing experience visiting Gingerbread Man Bakery in Winston-Salem…read more The owner Wade took the time to tell us about how the bakery started and how much the community means to him. The shop was inspired by his love for baking and encouragement from friends -- and some of those same friends actually work in the bakery today, which made the environment feel really welcoming. We also loved seeing how he collaborates with other local creatives. From merch designed by a local tattoo artist to candles and soaps made through local partnerships, you can really feel the community support inside the shop. Now for the desserts. We tried: * Blueberry Chai Cupcake * Orange Rosemary Cupcake * Key Lime Cupcake * Fruity Pebbles Cake Pop * Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie * Banana Pudding Cookie * Gingerbread Cookie Every flavor combination was impressive. The blueberry chai cupcake literally tasted like drinking a cup of tea, and somehow the banana pudding cookie actually tasted like banana pudding. Our favorite was the Key Lime cupcake. Great desserts, great atmosphere, and great people. Definitely worth visiting if you're in Winston-Salem.

The owner shared that the idea started because he couldn't find cheesecake around the Triad that he really loved, so he started baking his own. After making them for friends and hearing constant encouragement, he decided to turn it into a business. It's always interesting hearing how local businesses get started, and this one felt very organic and community driven. He's even appeared on Food Network shows like Holiday Baking Championship and Chopped, which has helped bring visitors from out of state to High Point just to try the cheesecake. Overall it was a great visit, and it was nice learning more about how the business began. I love seeing the high point mural on the wall it really added to the ambiance!

They describe it as "adult cookies and cream" because they're taking the favorite and adding coffee. That combo just hits. Thick veins of oreo goodness combined with rich coffee ice cream, the signature texture and pull of homemade ice cream... it all just sets off a symphony in your mouth. It's to the point that I basically cannot visit Oak Ridge without stopping in. It's a great place to bring the family, or to take your date. My wife and I love it as a post-meal finisher.
