We were visiting downtown Mebane and exploring the local shops and were looking for something sweet as we enjoyed the beautiful afternoon. My wife looked to our Yelp bookmarks and found we were very close to Muffins so we decided to stop in. We started to explore the flavor options while the woman behind the counter helped another customer. I didn't want any ice cream but the rest of our party did and they all quickly decided to sample the banana pudding ice cream. They each loved it and all decided to order one scoop each on the freshly made waffle cones that were literally being made as we were there. Muffins features local ice cream by Maple View Farm in Hillsborough and it is delicious. Absolutely worth stopping at if visiting or driving by Mebane. Yum! read more

In Mebane for the day and wanted to get an ice cream to quench our desire for a treat. This place seemed to be just what we were looking for and we ordered a couple of one-scoop cones and sat outside and watched the world roll by as we ate them. It was a nice shop and the ice cream was good, what else could you ask for in from it? read more

After a great lunch we wanted something sweet. It's not really a out of town getaway unless ice cream is involved. Staff was sweet and all smiles. Downtown Mebane has a cute ice cream place. Not a lot of selection but what we had was good. I tried something I kind of forgot, but it had peanut butter chocolate. read more

We found this cute little ice cream shop while searching Yelp while shopping at the outlet. It was our first visit & much needed on this super hot, muggy day. The place was packed & this young lady was doing everything on her own. No matter how busy it got, she had that smile radiating and treated everyone like they were the only customer in the shop. We got a cookie dough 1 scoop sugar cone & a chocolate 1 scoop cake cone. The price was pretty reasonable. The ice cream was yummy. The only issue I had is how I never saw her wash her hands from handling money to going to fix the ice cream. I get that she was alone, but it's still good to wash hands between transactions. All in all, I enjoyed my treat & may go back if in the area again. read more

My favorite ice cream place in Mebane that has quickly become my go-to spot for a sweet treat! Their ice cream selection is amazing, with unique flavors like Devil's Delight with is a rich chocolatey base with chunks of twix and kit kats mixed in, keep me coming back.The staff are super friendly and always happy to offer samples and recommendations. The prices are very average with other ice cream shops in the triad. The moment you walk in, the cozy, pastel and cow themed decor feels like a warm hug. Don't miss the awesome mural on the side of the building as well. Definitely one of Mebane's finer shops, if you're in the area, don't miss out on this delicious experience! read more

In Mebane this is the best ice cream/ sorbet place in town. We came here a long time ago and have been back handful of times but today, review was warranted. There is parking on the street and aside from events, you'll find a spot. You are greeted upon entering. There are a lot of options! The price is ok but the product is delicious. My daughter likes their cookies and cream flavor in either cone or cup. I had their sorbet because it is their dairy free option. It is really, really flavorful. Pomegranate Raspberry, try it! She even ordered that one today because she tried mine last time we were there. I get the cup/ 1 scoop for about $3.25. Toppings are also available. You can sit inside or outside. We will go back! read more

I'm happy that we chose to support a local ice cream shop vs driving to a large chain location in a nearby city. We are new to the area and had an ice cream craving:) The service was great and the ice cream was good. There weren't any ice crystals or chunks in the ice cream. The ice cream was not too sweet, which we love. While it may not be as fancy or have as many add in options as larger retailers, it was tasty and conveniently located. Parking was easily accessible too. read more

They offer a variety of flavors...banana pudding, strawberry cheesecake, birthday cake and many more! I had the banana pudding and it was so tasty! The shop is small inside, but they do have outside seating. Prices are affordable and you are allowed to try samples. Its located downtown so parking can be a little tricky.

A little overpriced though as I can probably just make it at home, but great service, great drink. Very historical area for sure. probably one of the only shops in town worth going to other than reeds coffee. Mebane downtown is soooo tiny....it's not very lively.... (I am used to a more populated downtown like Denver) it seems like a ghost town lol. But hopefully it will get more populated or renovated in the next few years. read more

The Muffins Ice Cream Shoppe is wonderful. If you are every near Mebane stop by and get the Cheerwine float. They have Maple View Ice Cream so you know it is good. I made the trip to Mebane just to check out the downtown scene and get some content ideas for Wojdylo Social Media. I can honestly say both Muffins Ice Cream Shop and the Mebane downtown area will get your creative juices flowing as there are some awesome places in a few "city" blocks. It is a wonderful place to grab some quick ice cream during those warm summer days. Also, check out some of the other shops and businesses in downtown Mebane. read more

We had no clue that this little ice cream shop was here! What a hidden treasure to find on an afternoon walk. The shop is small and charming and the young lady behind the counter was very nice. Now to the ice cream. It was ok. Some of the ice cream had ice crystals so I stayed away from those (my husband didn't but we'll get to that in a minute). The flavors that I had were pretty good as was the sorbet. My husband went for classic strawberry and vanilla and he didn't have such a good experience. The strawberry tasted like it had sat for a while and was grayish in color. Overall, it was decent but taste the flavors you are thinking about before choosing. read more

It is definitely one of my favorite ice cream shops in the Triangle. I haven't had any bad experiences coming here per say but sometimes the young cashiers at the front can seem a bit ignorant and stare you down when it comes to tipping.

We had to go to the back area of the building to find Tea-Rex and the few other spots while Pork & Spoon is very visible in the front area of the hall. We haven't tried any of Tea-Rex's milk teas & other desserts but from what we've seen in its concession, the milk teas look quite generic. Pork & Spoon referred us to them when we asked if they offered Halo Halo, which I thought was a good teamwork between the two shops in Burlington Food Hall. Sadly, neither shops gave us a good reason to revisit this new food hall. I will publish my review of Pork & Spoon soon. As for Tea-Rex NC, their Halo Halo was just disappointing. We rather get the $8+ Halo Halo in the Oriental Store in Raleigh, but that's another story. | Overall Score: 2.0/5

I absolutely love this ice cream shop! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. The flavors are consistently delicious, and you can really tell they put care into what they serve. My toddler is a big fan too she can't get enough of the raspberry sorbet! It's the perfect spot for a sweet treat, whether you're stopping by for a quick scoop or making it a little outing. read more

If you want a heaping helping of Covid in your ice cream, come on in! This store "doesn't believe" they have a responsibility to ask patrons to wear a mask, their own worker wears it as a chin guard. If you ask them why they aren't asking their customers to follow the law, they will tell you to leave. I guess Corona is their favorite flavor. read more

The atmosphere is just beautiful, so fun and happy and chill. From the colors to the seating to the homemade star pillows- you can tell thought and heart went into every choice in decorating this place. I will be stopping by here again as soon as I can try experience more flavors and items. I can't wait to come back!

We planned to share a banana split, but unfortunately they were out of bananas, which was a bit of a bummer. Even on a cold day, the ice cream was still delicious.

I was beginning to wonder if we would make it in before 9:00 when they closed. There is not a store except a freezer with milk and ice creams. You can get ice cream in a cone or a cup. I noticed almost everyone had a cup. You can choose one to four scoops and they have a wide variety of toppings. I got one scoop of butter pecan and one scoop of praline. Both were full of nuts. I liked the praline best. They had chairs on the porch and tables to the side. Many brought a blanket to sit on. Interesting place but I have had better ice cream.

Amazing donuts!…read more It's definitely a hotspot so get there early so they don't sell out. They also have hot breakfast sandwiches if that's something you're in the mood for this is my first time visiting, but I could tell that they had amazing donuts by the line and the group of people inside I felt that the prices were average, specially since their homemade. I got my favorite pastry- an apple fritter and some cake donuts. They did not disappoint. They were the perfect balance of soft and sweet without being too cakey or too sugary. They have a big assortment. It's not on my regular commute, but it would definitely be worth stopping by if I'm in the area.

This place went from one of my favorites to a one-star "I want to tell everyone how bad it was"…read morebecause of my experience today. I was in today, the owner had placed Hazelnut Coffee Mate into the carafe marked "Half and Half" and argued with me when I told them that there was Hazelnut Coffee Mate in the Half and Half carafe. I was shocked that the owner didn't think for a second that she made a mistake, but instead told me that she just poured it in their and it was absolutely half and half. I told her to taste it - she did not. I was so mad at her utter lack of curiosity and her apparent belief in her own infallibility that I poured another fresh cup of coffee, put the "Half and Half" in it, tasted Hazelnut coffee mate, and had to throw it away again. The owner didn't care to watch but the employees saw it. I am allergic to carageenan because I was bitten by a lone star tick and got Alpha Gal allergy. Over 500,000 Americans, most in the Southeast, have this allergy. Coffee Mate has carageenan. I would love to continue coming to Daily Donuts, but not if I am going to be gas lit by the owner.

This place is such a great addition to downtown, which (in my opinion) is pretty limited when it comes to dessert options beyond cheesecake. I ordered a crepe and it was delicious, with just the right balance of sweet without being over the top. They also have a really nice variety of gelato flavors. The staff was super patient and let me sample quite a few (I think I tried about six ) before deciding, which I appreciated. Overall, a great go-to for something sweet downtown. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu.

I have enjoyed Flavoures and the ice cream is good but this visit was a bit off…read more I got a biscoff sundae-it was kind of just haphazardly thrown together and the toppings weren't fully mixed throughout.

There is a large backyard area if you are looking to stay a while and eat your treats. There are also many seating areas on the porch. When you arrive, the available flavors are on the chalkboard menu. I then told the employee at the counter what I wanted, and he even put them in a Ziploc baggie for me to take home. They made the drive okay, even though it took longer than usual, because a big truck decided to go 35mph on a 55mph road. I went with Mexican chocolate, lavender cream, watermelon, ginger limeade and orange mango. They were as delicious as I remembered. I also left with an item from the bakery. I enjoyed every bite of that, too. The Mexican-style popsicles are what Locopops is known for, but they also have ice cream. The locopops come in regular and mini sizes. They offer both dairy and non-dairy flavors. I didn't see the pints of ice cream until I was on my way out, or I would have picked one up too. In their retail area, they also have some non-food items like puzzles, games and cards. I think I saw some soaps and jewelry, too. So you might just find a gift for someone here, too.
