Cute little place with some amazing ice cream! We have been meaning to pop in for a while now, and…read moreit is definitely our loss for waiting for so long! There is plenty of parking in the plaza and tables both inside and out where you can enjoy your treat! We tried the cinnamon toast crunch and butterfinger, and both were exactly what you would expect! They have quite a few flavors to pick from, so I will definitely need to go check out some of the others. Prices are very reasonable with a small at $4, medium at $6 or a pint at $10. They also have a loyalty card and punch a hole for every order. Once you fill the card, you get to spin the wheel and win a prize, anything from free ice cream, t-shirt, hat, or even a stuffed puppy (Hank). Unfortunately, Hank was not there today, but just another reason to go back! The employees behind the counter were friendly and were cleaning and picking up between customers,keeping the place tidy. It's definitely a place to go and check out!

We went to Hanks Carolina Creamery (address is: 103 G Wilkes Dr. Monroe, North Carolina) today and…read morei have got to give him props! My sons wanted to go to SweetFrog but i told them lets go try some real ice cream. I got the coffee caramel, my daughter got cookie dough (she said its REAL cookie dough and was delicious), my oldest son got cookies & cream (fun fact, it takes 44 Oreos to make a batch), my youngest son got vanilla (he took a bite and told him wow you did a good job, it's delicious!). Before we left my youngest told him "you do a really good job with your ice creams, thank you"! There is also a freezer of pints (cash only) if you want to bring some home to enjoy! If you love ice cream and like to support local like my family does, please stop in to Hanks Carolina Creamery! Check out his merch too while youre there!

We visited the old location a few times and we so glad when the new location opened closer to home.While no longer limited to $1 each , definitely worth the trip.

I love coffee, omg please try out their coffee flavor. We already tried almost all their flavor ice cream including the special flavor for holidays. We came cross country from West coast to East coast for The Local Scoop, yep because we never find The Best homemade ice cream at the West Cost like The Local Scoop!!! Like, even we took our family and friends from around the world to come try their ice cream. I have sister from China she doesn't like sweet, when I told her that we will take her to try out an ice cream. She kind of doubt to go. But after she tried she was super happy and said: wow I want another one We took her back right the way the next day and she tried two flavor right the way at that time (look not a big fans of sweet person able to enjoy ) If you never try, please give it a try and we guarantee will not disappoint you at all. You can come enjoy the cute downtown Matthews and get The Local Scoop ice cream or you can go to enjoy the Ballantyne with The Local Scoop ice cream too since they have it in both locations. All the workers or servers are very friendly, young and nice. The owner has integrity and easy going. Note: love it "we proud to support local businesses."

At first taste, I was turnt off. Barely any taste and felt chalky. I went jn a store right after tasting it. Pricey. I could care less if it melted or not. Meh...

Prices are fair for what you get. My one real gripe is that everything skews very sweet. I ordered a peach iced tea and specifically asked for sugar free, and what I got was closer to syrup than tea. If you like your desserts and drinks on the sweet side, you'll be thrilled. If you don't, order carefully and maybe stick to a single scoop. Worth the stop for the roadside kitsch and the produce alone.

The place itself is cute inside with board games for kids to keep them entertained. The outside is cute inside pictures, but was less appealing in person. The play area was not as safe and rather grimey. The bathrooms could also use a heavy cleaning (and we were there rather early in the day on a Saturday). The pizza was a bit to be desired unfortunately. We came with friends after a t-ball game. They order slices and we order two pies. We knew they would get theirs first, but it was quickly clear they forgot all about our order because tables that came in after us got theirs first pies first. When we got ours they were burnt to a crisp on the bottom. They were also both so greasy that it's almost all you could taste, rather than the cheese or pepperoni. Would return for ice cream, and pass on the other food in the future.
