    Dots Dario

    When we were driving back from the mountains with my family, my sister asked, "Can we stop at that ice-cream place near Old Fart (she meant Fort)?" At 2pm there was a line of about ten people, which usually suggests that your in for a treat. Anyway, Dots Dario is a great place to stop for a treat and a little bit of history. It's been around since 1970, so anyone from the area will have memories. We all enjoyed our ice-cream on waffle cones, while our dad took a trip down memory lane.

    Amazing taste, price a bit high.

    Nice, respectful cashier. Ice cream was delicious and exactly what was ordered. Only took about 5 min. to get what was ordered.

    Tried to visit, but was closed on a weekend afternoon... go figure! One of only very few ice cream places in the Lake James region!

    Best ice cream in NC. I've rode my motorcycle from Charlotte to get it several times.

    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.

    Stopped at their food truck when their came to Asheville. Staff was super nice!…read more Beware that these cinnamon rolls are SUPER sweet! A little too sweet for my personal preference but my roommate liked them! Very good flavor and large (they're pricy so make sense)!
