I opted for a chocolate chip cookie with cookies and cream ice cream. The cookie was warm and buttery, and the ice cream was smooth. The staff was very nice.

It is a small store, meant for quick eatings, but the ice cream is well worth any standing time. It was excellent and the service was super quick. I walked in, ordered, and they made it right there! Highly recommend this place myself. Got it recommended to me by another friend. Seems like a popular place as I visited around 8pm and there were many people about!

My, my, my what a treat. My husband and I had the Original Peach Cobbler, my son had the Original Peach Cobbler w/ ice Cream and my granddaughter had Cheesecake Cobbler. There are plenty of choices to choose from. Next time I would like to try their Banana Pudding. I am from California and wish I could take this place home with me . I'm sure the college students love this place. The employee was very nice and even shared some college tips with my grandson as she is a student as well. The restaurant was very clean and there is ample parking. I highly recommend the Peach Cobbler Factory. Next best thing to Grandma's Kitchen.

The owner was very friendly, recommending fan favorites & after ordering a mixed dozen, also threw in some mini donuts with the apple fritters. Can not stress how fresh they are! Maple bacon was incredible & the blueberry jelly knocked my socks off. But the real winner was the apple fritters. 100% best donuts in town. Also great coffee!

The ambiance is entertaining, yet without overwhelming the patron. I enjoyed a chicken pesto crepe, a personal favorite of mine from my last visit, along with the daily special of southern biscuits and gravy. A new addition to the menu, the southern biscuits and gravy were delightful and authentically southern. The biscuits were light and fluffy, and the gravy flavorful and abundant. Once again, I am impressed with the generous portioning of The Sweet Suite, and additional orders beyond the first are brought to the table with great speed. I had the honor of seeing executive chef Tim Alex at work in the kitchen today, and with such an exemplary culinary artist at the helm it is no wonder at The Sweet Suite's success. I look forward to my next visit!

Customer service is excellent. Prices are average for product. I used to go here regularly and…read morefeel like the mocha had more of a chocolate taste back then (2019-21). Today, we decided to get an iced quad shot oatmilk mocha from here and another place nearby and compare them. I'll include information on both but will say that if you want a smoother, less bitter drink, Monarch would be the better choice. Although we got our drink to go today, we like the ambiance. We have had mochas all over the US (including AK & HI) and in other countries that make them (some places don't), so we (and some of our friends) consider ourselves mocha connoisseurs. Iced Quad Oatmilk Mocha Monarch J: 7/10, don't taste coffee (prefer to taste more), not bitter, could use 1 step up on chocolate, sweetness okay N: 6/10, needs more coffee flavor, needs more chocolate (taste it more than Turbo but no enough for me), still a little too sweet but not as syrupy, not bitter, don't like lid because of risk of coming loose/leaking Turbo (Competitor) J: 6/10, lots of coffee, not much chocolate (prefer more), bitter, could use more sweetness N: 6/10, Strong coffee flavor (good), very (maybe too) bitter, barely any chocolate (not enough), too (syrupy) sweet I would come back but not regularly like I used to. What would make this a better mocha? IMHO, adding more of a quality unsweetened cocoa like Guittard Rouge (not sure of chocolate used), the ability to customize sweetness, and cooling the drink first in a cold cup before pouring over a bit more ice. I'm not sure why the coffee taste was weak with a quad shot, but this did have more of a chocolate taste, although I prefer more. I also appreciated that although it was still too sweet for me, it didn't taste "syrupy." The lid is a bit of a hazard, as it kept popping off.

The service was friendly and engaging! They were patient and helpful. Both of our coffees were well made and I liked the dark Italian style roast. The muffins were out of this world good.
