I usually see them at the old Kmart location. Their desserts are very rich. The chocolate has a very strong taste, so make sure you have a sweet tooth if you're stopping in here. Our favorite treat to try so far is the Death by Chocolate pound cake. When I see them again, I'll also try their oatmeal creme pies that are homemade.

When I walked in I heard music playing so that was a treat. The general store as a variety of items but I did come for the ice cream. There are a lot of flavors to pick from and they offer cups, cones, sundaes and milkshakes. The prices were very reasonable and the scoop portion was generous. I got one scoop of Yippee Skippee. It was peanut butter ice cream with caramel and chocolate covered pretzels and maybe some brownie pieces. The cup said it was Chocolate Shoppe ice cream from Wisconsin and high quality cream. They have an outside covered seating area but I stayed inside and ate the ice cream at one of the tables to listen to the music.

I usually stop here either on my way to Asheville, it breaks up the ride nicely, or before climbing at Bigfoot Climbing gym. I have gotten both the Poe and the Hemingway lattes and they are delicious! I've also had some of the dessert pastries from Ugly Duckling - the mocha espresso cookie and the cheddar bacon scone. These treats are tasty and perfect snacking size. The interior of this store is very cozy and there are endless reading nooks throughout the space. The first time I enjoyed my coffee and snack outside but this past weekend, I sat upstairs. Both times have been very enjoyable - one minor note, they closed early on Sunday, at noon instead of 3pm, to prepare holiday decorations. Unfortunately, I arrived at 11:30am so I didn't get to stay and read as long as I originally planned. Wish they would have posted on their social media (I looked them up on Instagram before visiting again)! Other than that little hiccup, this is a must-visit in Morganton!

A…read morefriendly waitress brought our carafe of coffee and while Mrs. K. decided to order from the menu, I started on the buffet. Before I was back with my first plate, her French Toast arrived. A great selection of proteins on the steam table and a nice variety of the classic breakfast offerings. A big plate of scrambled eggs and I was able to add cheese sauce and mushrooms on one side of my plate. On the other, some sausage links (very overdone) and some sliced ham (extremely salty). Lots of other high carb options available including biscuits, pancakes, French toast sticks, cheese and plain grits, home fries and tots. Something that might have been fried chicken livers and also some pieces of fried chicken. A dessert bar with banana pudding, jellos and fruits was also available. The place is clean and the service was great, clearing dirty dishes and restocking coffee creamer. A satisfying meal for sure. [Review 542 of 2026 - 4637 in North Carolina - 25724 overall]

I just don't know how a mobile order can be so screwed up and it's frustrating because I can't find a decent Sonic anywhere now. However, I will say that the food was fresh and hot, delicious, and the employees are indeed very kind and were apologetic over the mess.
