Oooh... unfortunately it's really good…read more And I don't know if this is a "controversial" take or common knowledge but god this is so much better than Bruesters in every way. It would be crazy to compare the hard, thick-ass Bruester's chud to the classic smooth 'scream stylings of Carolina Cones. The crazy lighting inside, the train that goes around ceiling, all the 25 cent to $1 machines, and the swinging hook game outside. There's so much to love about this place. And sure, you can get a literal cherry on top, but the proverbial cherry on top are the classic tubes that play outside that make a summer night feel cinematic.

This is such a fun spot for ice cream, especially with kids! They have a huge variety of flavors,…read moreincluding regular ice cream, soft serve, and dairy-free/lactose-free options. I also loved the different cone choices--they made getting ice cream feel a little more special. There are plenty of toppings if you order a sundae or cup, so it's easy to customize. The only downside was that they wouldn't put the dairy-free ice cream into a cone, even though it seemed like it could have easily been transferred since it was already pre packaged in a cup that they scooped. The dairy-free cookies & cream was also a little icy compared to the regular ice cream. Overall, it's a great family-friendly spot to cool off on a hot day. The quarter machines with toys and games, plus the small outdoor merry-go-round for little ones, make it an extra fun stop.

2/22 We drove all the way to Wilmington for our first Kilwins experience and had it more than twice…read more(don't judge) in those two days. So imagine our surprise to see this new location open in Birkdale! Even more surprised there wasn't a line wrapped around the store like in Wilmington. Just like the other locations it smells delicious when you walk in! Unfortunately they didn't have our favorite flavor to combine (Dulce De Leche) with Sea Salt Caramel .... BUT thanks to the helpful employee we were able to find something that we like even better! (Surprise Surprise) The New Orleans Praline Pecan! Try it and thank me later; We will definitely be back.
