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!

TLDR: Yay! We needed more ice cream shops in Garner. Scoop Dogz offers a variety of ice cream…read moreflavors, sundaes, milkshakes, and edible cookie dough. Great customer service. 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!

What a DELIGHTFUL gem in Garner! Holl & Stone Farms is a cute farmstand and store featuring a bar,…read morecute store, and ice cream truck. The ice cream is New Zealand style soft serve, which is jam packed with fruit. I tried the blueberry basil which was absolutely delicious. They also offer other more traditional style ice cream like cookies and cream. The nice little touch they add is putting biscoff cookie or other cookie with every scoop. The cute store is worth a peruse to look at cook books, plants, and other perfect giftables! And save some time to look at the farm animals. There's a herd of friendly alpacas, a coop of chickens (and a free roaming rooster) and even some goats. The animals are so cute and friendly! I will say the parking lots get kind of full, but there's definitely a good amount of spots. You might just need to be a little patient.

When you arrive there is plenty of parking located in front of the shop and off to the side. The farm feels like it a boutique, modern, animal experiences, and elevated eats/drinks. To walk into the farm you'll proceed through the middle of the complex where there's a second level to the right and a market to the left. We first checked out the animal exhibits which included alpacas, goats and chickens. I had never seen alpacas up that close. Then headed over to the food truck for some soft serve ice cream. I ordered the New Zealand style blueberry basil in a waffle cone which was excellent. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping by holl & stone for ice cream and everything else it has to offer.

7/16/22: I'm confused. Is this Smallcakes or nah? The inside of their cupcake box has the same…read morepolka dot design, but the cupcakes look different. Finding this place was like going on a scavenger hunt. All you see is an UPS industrial area. You'd never find it unless you call them. Drive into the UPS parking lot, go over the speed bumps, and you will end up at a white building where they will come out and take your payment for the cupcakes. You can call them to order over the phone or go online. Their online portal didn't work for me though. Anyway, we ordered 2 pink chocolates & 1 lemon. The chocolate cake left a weird taste in my mouth, but my son loved the lemon. The chocolate cake was a bit dry too. I did like their cute little touch on the packaging with the ribbon around the plastic bag & the thank you sticker. The customer service needs a little work because the lady taking the order and the payment wasn't very friendly. We went around 3:30 pm, so maybe she was ready to get off work. Who knows? I think I will go back if I don't feel like driving far for a cupcake. Otherwise, I'm going to the real Smallcakes.

Howling Cow Creamery is on part of NC State University's working dairy farm. The ice cream is…read moreproduced by the university. If you are looking for the nearby museum, that is the Randleigh Heritage Museum. It is a little further up the road, but appointments are usually required. Howling Cow has parking right outside, just watch the signs, as a few spots don't allow parking because of loading zones. Pets are not allowed, so leave them at home. Howling Cow sells ice cream, milk, sodas, water, cheese and other merchandise, such as clothing and water bottles, inside. The coolers are filled with to-go items, and there is even a separate check-out. If you are looking to enjoy your order there, you order at the register. They are a cashless facility, so remember your credit or debit card. You can get cones, cups, sundaes, and milkshakes. There are a few tables inside, and if you prefer to sit on the covered porch, there are tables and even some rocking chairs. The cows sometimes roam the pastures on cooler days. This visit, I went with the chocolate peanut butter ice cream brownie sundae. I wasn't expecting it to be so big and have as many of the toppings as it did. I couldn't finish it, but they had tops to put on it so you could take it to go. These were near where you pick up your order, so it's easy to grab one if you need one. If you are looking for quality ice cream with a variety of flavors in a peaceful setting, check out Howling Cow.

I assumed this place would be similar to the Tillamook Creamery since "education center" is…read moreliterally in the name. But there is absolutely nothing educational about it -- it's just an ice cream shop. They don't accept cash (legal tender), and there are no signs anywhere telling you that beforehand. They also won't let you sample flavors, so if you end up disliking what you ordered, too bad. Meanwhile, they had one employee working the register while five others just stood around. They're not pet friendly at all either -- no complimentary pup cups, just $1 for a tiny squirt of whipped cream in a cup. I ordered the cookie dough ice cream, which was advertised as cookie dough flavored ice cream with cookie dough chunks. What I got was basically plain vanilla ice cream with maybe three tiny pieces of cookie dough in the entire serving.

And to drink I got a chai latte with oat milk, super strong chai taste and not too sweet. Super quick and friendly service. There's plenty of seating, WiFi and outlets available. Perfect for knocking out some work.
