The young people taking orders are generally always nice and helpful. They're quick to get your order and serve you. It's located in an older single wide trailer on the side of a road but that's what makes it great! They've added shading and more picnic tables for customers to enjoy. Very nice and friendly local people.

This is a new shop so it's a little hard to find, but it's connected to the old Samir gas station. This is a place you have to try, hopefully they work out since this is their first summer open. Will keep you up-to-date.

I saw the Ice Cream Sammies sign while in Downtown Morganton, and it seemed like a great place to…read morego to cool off. The store is cute and welcoming. I was welcomed when I walked in the door. The store sells Blue Bell ice cream. They are known for their ice cream sammies, and you can pick from Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, or you can just get ice cream in a cup, a regular cone, or a freshly made waffle cone. Milkshakes and malts are available too, as are sundaes. Beverages are sold here as well if you are looking for a soda; I am pretty sure I saw both Coke and Pepsi products available. I liked that the store has comfortable seating areas where I could relax, eat my ice cream, and marvel at the decor. The balloons were a fun touch, and if you time it right, you might even run into the mascot, Sammie. I ordered the two-scoop coconut and Dutch chocolate, not realizing how much ice cream that would actually be--the portion size was very generous!

I can't say more great things about this place. First off, the customer service was fantastic!…read morePleasant people who offered my daughter's hats, tracked us down to give us our ice cream (we were getting the kids seated at a nearby picnic table) and smiles all around. Next - the ice cream. I was happy the kids' cones weren't covered in sprinkles, but had a small amount for color. The soft-serve raspberry has me drooling every time I think of it - smooth, creamy and delicious flavor. My wife's strawberry didn't have anything fake about it, with nice pieces of fruit in it. I'm already looking forward to our next trip to the mountains - whenever it is!

We finally made it... and honestly, I think we deserve a medal…read more After multiple failed missions to visit this cinnamon bun place (closed... closed again... and somehow still closed ), we decided to try one more time as a birthday surprise for our daughter. Let me just say--the wait was so worth it, it almost feels like part of the experience now. Like a rite of passage. If you get in on your first try, are you even doing it right? From the moment we walked in, it was clear this wasn't just about cinnamon buns--it was an event. And then there's Wendy, the owner, who might actually be part pastry chef, part magician, part birthday fairy. She went out of her way to make our daughter feel special, and you could tell she genuinely loves what she does (and is really, really good at it). Now let's talk about the food... WOW. These are not your average cinnamon rolls. These are the kind that make you go silent mid-bite because your brain needs a second to process what just happened. Creative, over-the-top in the best way, and absolutely delicious. We tried a few different ones, and every single one felt like it was competing for "favorite child" status. By the end, we were full, happy, slightly covered in icing, and already talking about when we'd come back (and how many times we might have to try before catching them open again). 10/10 would stalk their hours and show up again. Totally worth it.

I've eaten A LOT of cinnamon rolls in all 50 states, but this spot has some very lofty honors. As I…read moredrove the entire length of Highway 70 from Arizona to the Atlantic Ocean, I researched all the food stops ahead of time. And I calculated that Gogo's is the highest rated eatery (bakeries and restaurants) with over 100 reviews on this highway. It's a worthy stop according to online, crowd-sourced reviews with very high expectations! And if The Bean in Auburn, Alabama, is my gold standard with a five-star cinnamon roll, then Gogo's is surely a solid 4.5! It ranks right up there with the best of them! The icing is what's superior here, the perfect consistency, sweet but not overly sugary, rich and complex with flavor without being overpowering, and the perfect topping for these rolls. The dough itself is a little dry rather than tender. I like my rolls barely undercooked. But it's a stellar cinnamon roll nonetheless with incredibly friendly service. If you're in this sort of North Carolina, please stop in!

Best donuts!! I love this place the donuts are delicious I highly recommend this place 5 starsread more

I visited this cute coffee shop right after lunch. I was bummed that I was too full to even…read moresqueeze in a small drink. They had plenty of drink options. There is plenty of merchandise in the store that you may find something for yourself or as a small gift. From jewelry, coffees, teas, honey, cups etc.. There is seating throughout the shop to enjoy your drink. It really is a cozy place. You get that feeling once you walk into the place. I did purchase two little bags of coffee and bag of chocolate covered coffee beans as gifts. The service at the counter was very friendly even though it got quite busy. If I'm visiting my friends in NC again, I would want to make it a point to stop here again. I'm sure they would happily bring me here again since it is one their fave coffee spots. There is only street parking in front of the store and not too far away is a parking lot. Come give them a try!

Taste Full Beans is a longstanding staple in the small but growing town of Hickory. It is located…read moredowntown so parking can be a miss on the weekends, but it should be fine on the weekdays. The coffee house itself is quite cozy and charming inside with a lot of warm lighting. A bit small inside, but there is some seating available. There are a lot of items on their menu, especially for the coffees and teas. I thought the service was friendly and efficient. I got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and the Egg & Cheese Sandwich. I knew when I saw how pale the Vietnamese Iced Coffee looked that it was not going to be typical, haha. It definitely tastes sweeter than usual and not very strong at all, and the latter is what Vietnamese Iced Coffee is known for. I did not mind the sweeter taste too much although I wish it was a bit stronger and darker (in color). As for the Egg & Cheese Sandwich, I got it on a croissant which was flaky. While the eggs were quite fluffy, I felt like they needed some salt and pepper although perhaps I was supposed to add that on my own. I think I would rate Taste Full Beans a 3.75/5 stars if I could. The drink and food I got were just alright. I would come back and try the other items on their vast menu!
