2nd time visiting this hidden gem - they give samples, have soft served and scooped ice cream, plus…read moremilkshakes and a variety of toppings! Pricing is decent and there is a cool sitting area inside or a few benches outside along the sidewalk for your sitting pleasure. Today, I did the cookie dough milkshake and it was delicious! Last week I had a banana split, with is pricey but massive - I couldn't even finish the whole thing! The customer service was good both times. They also have specials on soft served cone ice creams on Sunday's too I think. They have about 8-10 different flavors from what I saw. The flavor I need to sample next time is called "exhausted parent"- lol

Wendell NC is a lovely small authentic NC town which consists of several small shall shops, mainly…read morebars and restaurants. One of those special small little shops is the creative cone, a family-owned frozen dessert business focused on delivering something deliciously unique to main street. Unlike DQ or any convenience store, the ice cream is small batch more delicious than any big box brand. The ideal ice cream shop goes beyond serving delicious frozen treats; it creates an immersive experience that delights customers through visual appeal, enticing aromas, high-quality ingredients, and friendly service. It becomes a place where customers can create cherished memories while indulging in their favorite frozen delights, and this is the focus of the creative cone. The creative cone brings a "build a bear" experience in the form of frozen desserts. They can build a cake or even flavor a soft serve and deliver it in a freshly baked waffle cone with all the fix-ins, without breaking a sweat. Wendell is lucky to have the creative cone, Cheers!

I got the Single Butter burger with grilled onions, onion rings, and a Cod Fillet sandwich.My…read moreburger was cold and there were barely any onions which didn't look grilled. I'm not sure what it was but I wasn't about to eat it. The Onion rings were hot but "SALTY" like I was confused. Cod sandwich was supposed to be with cheese and ketchup Only! There was no cheese and it was also cold! It looked mashed together by hand!! This was my 2nd and last visit. My first visit no issues however today was definitely a waste of time and money!

Give it a 4. because that fish platter was super fresh and flaky, just amazing. I will say the…read morecustomer service was pathetic. I was fine until they had me pull up, mind you he did not state where to pull up, just said pull up and pointed to the side door right by that window. So I pulled up. The girl with the redhead/orangehead, whatever, she said "you need to move up to the orange cone at the very end" with the most attitude for absolutely no reason, there's other ways to say things. I finally get my order, unfortunately she brought it to me, l asked her if she had ketchup or napkins on her, she said no, rolled her eyes and went back inside. Idk what her problem was but If you don't like ur job, don't work there. She should hope she's not working next time l'm there because I have something to say :) anyways, yall should have her fired for her disgusting attitude. Great food!

The line was long, but that just shows how good this place is, everyone wants a piece of Vida Dulce , haha! I totally recommend this place if you're craving a sweet or savory snack. Their menu is also extensive, so you have a variety of food/snacks to choose from.

This little store was no different - so much to see even in a smaller space. The ice cream? DELICIOUS!!! And the scoops were huge.

I was very displeased in reference to the false advertising of the price of the ice cream. I…read morepurchased one scoop of ice cream, and on the board stated inside of the store that a single scoop is $2.89. But to my surprise I was charged $3.89. I brought it to the cashier's attention and the response was "that's not the price in our computer". I told the cashier that it was false advertising. Needless to say I didn't get any resolve. I'm very disappointed and will not be back. The more I think about it, multiple customers may be getting cheated out if their money. I also took pictures of my receipt and the board in the store.

Please get some real employees.

Okay y'all. Wrapping up my summer sojourne. Took family out to brunch. This was a perfect choice…read more The decor evinces a real farmhouse environment, ie: rustically charming. Very welcoming atmosphere. When you come in you're instructed to peruse the menu and order/pay at the register. Or you can seat yourself first, gather your utensils, and order from the menu more leisurely. I chose the latter option. Totally worth careful consideration of the menu IMO. I chose the Eye Opener Breakfast with extra side of grits, sausage and home fries. My family ordered the Salmon Smorrebord and the BLT&E on Crossant. Absolutely delectable. I'm definitely a fan and look forward to my next occasion to visit.

However, that's not to take away from the experience of the actual FOOD lol The electronic menu wasn't available, so we decided to order via the self checkout counter. It was a little odd that while we were trying to look and see what we wanted one of the staff members kept asking how many were we looking to order. Um...well, I might have wanted to order a few dozen but since it looks like we might be a little inconvenient - I'll order just a few and move on. We made our order and waited. The AC seemed to be out and with the portable air it was still hot in there. I felt bad for the staff, I could only imagine how they felt working in that! The donuts came out hot and fresh. They tasted just okay. Not sure if the batter was off or the cooking of the donuts. I wouldn't run back anytime soon.

I have lived out this way for years and never noticed them. They are on Poole Road in what looks…read morelike an old, wooden barn (kinda). There is a sign on the road but you have to look for it. Once you pull in parking is easy. So I am thinking this is a true family business. On one side is a country store with homemade goods (the jam is wonderful) and old fashioned candy and such. The building next to it is where they make and sell ice cream, shaved ice and snow cream! I have tried the peach snow cream and it was good but the ice cream is where it is at! Lemon cheesecake, chocolate brownie, cookies and cream.... oh my! The best one I tried is a pepper one that I haven't been able to stop craving. His flavors change depending on what he is making at the time so i plan on stopping by often to see what treats I will run across. Super friendly service by the family and the best ice cream I have ever had!

If I see this truck again, I would definitely visit again!
