    Cakes and cupcakes
    Gregory W.

    I've been going to Nana's for over a year now and I should have posted this long ago. But since we finally did a holiday pie order, it is as good a time as ever to give this review. Such a great bakery! The scones are amazing. Every time we have people from out of town come, I will sneak out Saturday morning and get an assortment of these scones along with an assortment of other breakfast goods that wins all out of towners over. The Thanksgiving pies might become a christmas tradition. All of them were wonderful but the chocolate chess pie was a huge hit! Never had one as good as here. The staff is friendly and always baking large corporate orders, wedding orders, birthday goods, and sweets for every type of event. If you grab a coffee from Full Bloom around the corner, you would do yourself a disservice if you don't grab a pastry here to pair it with.

    The downtown village of Garner is small. This is the gem that stands out amongst the few retail locations surrounding this bakeshop. The apple fritter was fresh, chewy, and bursting with little pieces of Apple. The Bavarian cream donut had a bittersweet chocolate topping which was not what I was expecting. I did sample their focaccia bread which was outstanding. This is a locally owned business as evidenced by the number of people coming in and saying hello to the owner. Compared to grocery store baked goods and the local Dunkin' Donuts this shop is far superior. I hope that they will continue to increase the number of items they offer for sale as time goes by.

    These bakery treats are to die for. The cupcakes are always moist & delicious. They don't skimp out on anything here. And it's all very reasonably priced. The owner is so kind and makes an effort to build a sense of community with her business.

    Staff was friendly when we went, we left with a variety of things from the window. It was okay, but I felt they all were missing small steps that left their product's kind of lackluster. For example, brushing cake layers or cupcakes with simple syrups goes a really long way to ensure they dont dry out in the window. The danish/pastries mostly felt like commercially made products assembled on site with fresh fruits added. Its a cute place and Im glad to see they've succeeded so far.

Although the space is tiny, the desserts and cocktails more than make up for the line out front, and the noisy nature of downtown locations! There were 4 of us and we enjoyed the strawberry pretzel pie, derby pie, ice cream, coffee, and old fashioned. First of all, AMAZING cocktails- and an epic list of whiskeys, bourbons, and scotches. They've also got some custom beverages that you cannot find else. Super thumbs up for originality of cocktails, creative menu presentation, and speed of service! The derby pie was good- but I like mine with a denser filling. My friend enjoyed her strawberry pretzel pie, and the fact that not many places offer this on their menu. But, she said it was not as good as homemade. The gents in our party RAVED about how great Bittersweet's old fashioned drinks were! They said that these were definitely in the top three beverages they had ever had! This hole in the wall had a bridal party, some goth appearing folks, and suits too. In short, no matter what you like to drink, what you enjoy eating for dessert, you will find it here!

They have MANY flavors of ice cream, sorbet and drinks. They sell two kinds of hot dogs as well. We both got small cups and I got the caramel with toffee chunks. It was totally awesome! I would get it again for sure. My friend got orange sorbet and loved it. The place was clean, the young lady was friendly and we enjoyed talking with her. I will return here!

Pricy, but comparable to similar shops. Check the mail for coupons. It's never too cold outside for ice cream in NC! I saw an ad for Scoop Dogz and decided to check it out. Even on a chilly November day, I was craving ice cream. This shop is located two doors down from Aversboro Restaurant. It's in a plaza with ample parking. The entrance is on the left and exit door on the right. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a welcoming employee. She smiled and asked if I wanted to try any of the flavors. She patiently waited as I looked through the flavors and menu options. The sundae suggestions sounded so good, particularly the ice cream and cookie dough combos. After much deliberation, I decided on two sundaes. Since they were out of some of the flavors I swapped the chocolate for peppermint and the caramel ice cream for butter pecan. The sundaes were delicious and well balanced. I especially loved the combination of edible cookie dough with ice cream. Not just small chunks but a whole scoop of cookie dough. Their flavors rotate so be sure to look at the display case rather than the printed menus. They also serve ice cream from Homeland creamery. The shop has a few seats inside along with a freezer stocked with pre-packed pints and a free to play Pac-Man game. Overall, we had a positive experience here and recommend this ice cream shop to others!

As someone with Celiac, it is nice to FINALLY see a gluten free variant of the cookies and cream ice cream! That was already a treat on its own. But that isn't it. They had gluten free Oreo toppings too which I did not get, however, this was a VERY nice surprise to see as a Celiac customer. The employee filled the cup up to the top with this delicious treat. The cookies n cream flavor is amazing, even if you have no allergies. When I asked to sample the m and m explosions and the cookies n cream, the employee was enthusiastic to provide me with the samples. If I can give 6 stars, I would. The atmosphere of the store is nice as well. There are images of cats on the TV screen and they promote adoption of cats. If I come to visit again, this is a go to, I recommend
