Pelican's is always great to have, especially when it's really hot outside. I've been coming here…read moresince I was a kid, and it's still a favorite treat spot. My go-to flavors (and what's in the picture) are Tiger Blood and Piña Colada, blended together in an Avalanche size--it's such a good combo. The other order was a Strawberry Cheesecake flavor in a kiddie size. He said it was okay but wished it had more flavor. Overall, this is a solid spot to cool off with something sweet and nostalgic.

We will definitely return to this spot, which has quickly identified itself as a new family…read morefavorite for DELICIOUS cool down treats in the heat of summer. There are so many flavor options and additions to take your snowball up a notch (gummies, ice cream, sweetened condensed milk, etc.) Pelicans also offers several dye-free flavors and a handful of sugar-free flavors, too. This location offers a drive through and walk up window. Love to see fun activities onsite for visitors - cornhole, ladder golf, giant connect four, and plenty of picnic tables and benches for resting. Prices are very reasonable and the service has been great; super friendly and fast.

This is a little boutique shop (it auto-corrected to 'little booty shop' but I fixed it. Anyway,…read moreit's in the middle section (where the grass is) in Birkdale Village. But it's also at the end of the strip of shops and near the movie theater, which makes me come to a realization... You get five tiny donuts for $5 (and then they ask for tip on screen and since service was good I obliged) so you could sneak five tiny donuts into the movies and save money on movie snacks and popcorn but the donuts would be gone very quickly and popcorn lasts longer. You probably want the popcorn. Another thing about these donuts is that they are owned by the same guy that owns them at the state fair--not the donuts themselves but the donut booths. And they do taste like state fair donuts. If you're at the state fair, they're sensational. If you're at Birkdale Village, they're small sugary donuts in a really nice-looking trailer. The donuts might also be nostalgic for you as they were for me. My friend in junior high landed a date he had a crush on for two years. The date was at the state fair. I know for a fact they went on the Ferris Wheel and when it stopped at the top, the girl panicked and demanded they rotated the wheel so she could get off the freaking thing. This wish was granted, and that friend ditched her forever. It's also possible that he ate a donut.

Cute concept and super cute place! The service was great! I came here on opening day and there was…read moreno line. I ordered 2 half dozen donuts and got an assortment of them. They came out nice and warm. My favorite was the cinnamon sugar one. I wasn't a fan of the apple cider because it had a fake apple taste. The chocolate one was too bitter I think because they dusted it in cocoa powder. Overall, the donuts were nothing special and they were very overpriced. For tiny bite sized donuts they were 6 for $5. I probably wouldn't get them again.

I'm so excited Rita's opened in Mooresville! My parents and I decided to stop by and we all really…read moreenjoyed it. For all 3 of us to get ice cream it was about $15 which is actually pretty cheap compared to other ice cream places. The service was great - the employees were helpful when I couldn't decide what to get. I love how they have Italian ice and custard because it's a nice variety. The inside is really spacious and there's nice outside seating. My only complaint is that it wasn't as flavorful as I thought they'd be. My dad got banana custard and we all thought it didn't taste very much like banana. Similarly, my blue raspberry Italian ice could've used more flavor. It was still really good though & I'm sure we'll be back!

The snoballs were amazing! We got regular sized strawberry/polar punch and red apple/pomegranate…read more Polar punch was a tangy flavor that paired perfect with the sweet strawberry. I would 100% return again, the service and line moved very quick. There's tons of flavors to choose from so I made sure to include pics of the whole menu so you can start browsing from home! There were a few kids having fun with the provided large outside toys like connect four. My husband also saw a corn hole set up as we were leaving! There's plenty of tables with umbrellas. Everyone had such a nice attitude, atmosphere was great! There is no restroom though! Which might be hard with kids!

The menu board is extensive and we loved that they incorporated all the names of local schools as some of the names of the flavors. They also had vanilla ice-cream that they can mix the snoball flavoring into. So we got a creamcisle one of those. It was interesting mix but still yummy. There was a drive through, but we came up to the window instead. There was only 1 person in line so we were able to get our items quickly.

The owner was very friendly and cheerful. Her personality alone would make you come back. I ordered the raspado con pina and the Gloria. Both were absolutely delicious. Very refreshing and not overly sweet. The fruits in both were fresh and juicy. I also ordered the street corn and that was the star of the show..by far the best I've ever had. Equally balanced in flavor, it was a dance party in my mouth. You know when you start to dance the food is good. Yum yum yummy! All ingredients fresh and made to order. Several picnic tables to sit and enjoy your treats. Definitely will be a pit stop if im ever in town.
