The first night we ate at the tavern next door, and wanted a sweet treat for the walk back to the hotel, so we popped in for a couple waffle cones. First, the shop is very cute and clean, and all the staff are so kind and helpful. I tried several samples before making my decision (there's SO many amazing flavors to choose from!) and decided on the toasted coconut chunk for me, and brownie batter for my boyfriend, both in a waffle cone. The waffle cones are made fresh after you order, and then filled with their amazing (all homemade!) ice cream. We both agreed it was the best ice cream we've probably ever had (cone included!) Serving size was perfect and prices super reasonable. We proceeded to stop by every single day of our trip - that's how good! During our visits, we also had the Twix, Reese's, cookie dough, and samples of Tennessee turtle, caramel bear tracks, and coffee brownie. All were amazing and so hard to decide! On our last visit, the owner came out to chat with us & meet our pup (we had taken it to go each time and sat outside to eat since we had our dog with us). She was so sweet and clearly passionate about creating not only an amazing product, but a great experience overall. We are already excited for our next visit to the area so we can visit for ice cream every day again!! Don't miss this amazing family owned local spot!

Overall, it's a beautiful shop with fantastic customer service. The ice cream just wasn't our favorite based on flavor, but we can certainly see why others enjoy it.

Because eventually all those samples start suggesting that bread is a really good idea. The shop specializes in fresh baked breads featuring apple-based recipes, with offerings like apple blueberry and apple peach bread. We chose the apple peach. The bread itself was fresh and enjoyable, but the flavors never quite delivered the punch we were hoping for. The apple was subtle. The peach was subtle. In fact, they were so subtle they may have been playing hide-and-seek. Not bad. Not memorable. Just average. The shop is pleasant, the products are fresh, and it's a nice stop if you're already in the area. Three stars.
