I'm sure glad I did and found out I liked the key lime flavor and the white cherry the best. Friendly staff to help you if you need it. We were the only customers at the time. They are right off 95 so you don't have far to drive.

Fortunately for me I made it a point to not go crazy with my South Carolina swag as my bags to get back home are already bursting at the seams. If you're looking for some cute locally sourced kitchen towels, all the flavored butters your heart could ask for or a great gift from South Carolina this is the place to be. I left here with only a personalized knife but the pecan butter was calling my name. The staff was very welcoming and the store was organized and stocked for all the tourists and locals

Great customer service, and every kind of sweet delight you could ever want! Cookies, cinnamon rolls, and everything in between. Cakes too! I didn't eat anything but my customer was super stoked to receive it all. Was about 30 bucks for 12 different treats. I would definitely come again. Easy to find with decent parking as well.

I'm always happy when I walk in the door to see the large selection of baked goods to choose from. I love the blueberry danish especially! I wish I could move Freeman's to Lexington. The place is very clean and staff is friendly as well.

This is an amazing coffee shop that I was very surprised to encounter during our recent overnight…read morestay in Florence. I came in twice one morning and while the place was bustling, the owner was incredibly welcoming while chatting with me and the espresso drinks and baked goods such as the peach scone were all outstanding. I wish had a coffee shop this good closer to home in the Mid-Atlantic region hundreds of miles up I-95. The staff was all super sweet and I look forward to visiting again sometime soon.

Bean Bar is a comfortable little spot that's easy to get to and easy to park at, with plenty of…read moreroom in their sandlot parking area right out front. Inside, the ambiance is calm and relaxed, with hip jazz playing softly in the background. There's a mix of regular seating and a small bar section, plus a pleasant sitting area that should be great when the weather is nice. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in, and they were genuinely helpful with recommendations--particularly when I was deciding between drink options. I ended up with an egg and cheese sandwich on a Kaiser roll that came out steaming hot: the roll was light and fluffy, and the whole sandwich was simple but really well done. I also had a shot of espresso that arrived in a very nice presentation on a wooden board, paired with a side of sparkling water, which was a thoughtful touch and made the experience feel a bit special. On their recommendation I tried the honey lavender latte made with local spicy honey; it was unique, flavorful, and not something you see everywhere. Overall, Bean Bar feels like a low-key, well-put-together café with good parking, a relaxed vibe, kind staff, and drinks and food that show real care.

Only $7 to taste multiple wines (which change week to week), and you don't have to wait a month for the next 'wine tasting'. Grotto has an actual tasting bar, plus an option to order a plate of exotic salami and cheeses which can't be bought locally. This gives Grotto a huge advantage over Mickey Fins which is set up like the inside of a gas station. Mickey fins has competitive pricing, and a very large selection, but does not do daily tastings, nor do they have a bar/sit down area. Both know their wines well, both have been friendly and helpful. Overall, this is a wonderful place to buy wines or to relax and socialize with friends!

All of this is true of The Grotto, and more. Vince and Maura, the owners of this lovely wine bar, are amazing! They have really managed to create something special. They both really love and really know wine! And they love to talk with people, from the beginner to the expert, about vino. Vince has amassed a truly impressive and unique collection of wines that you won't be able to find anywhere except maybe Charleston. And he's very good at helping people find interesting and unique wines at great prices. If you like or love wine, check this place out. I can't emphasize it enough. You won't regret it!

It tasted more watery and less creamy but we didn't add any of those add on or supplements so it's hard to say if those give it the desired flavor. For just the basic Joe Blow person off street it wasn't that memorable, the portion I did think was large so I does reflect price well. For food we got Buffalo chicken & Caribbean jerk wrap respectively. The Buffalo wrap was good, spicy enough, and filled me up despite the portion not looking like much. The Caribbean wrap was in name only, rice, beans, and a Caribbean sauce w plain chicken but for Tropical Smoothie standards it's probably alright. There is one table w chairs inside but it's for waiting not eating inside. This seems to be popular, lots of people walking in for smoothies only. For me it's not some place I'm gonna run back to, if I'm in the area I might do it again.

Saturday I had pistachio on a waffle cone, it was delicious. We retuned Sunday for the Watermelon fruit bowl. It was just as good. The icecream here is not homemade.

This is the first Buc-ee's off I-95 and the crowds are crazy, but at least you can park your RV. Though posted signs say trucks and trailers are not allowed, you do have diesel in that extreme fuel island.
