Videri is on the right serving $$$ non-coffee drinks - soft-serve, confections/ chocolates and other trinkets. You can get a sample (smaller than Kisses, maybe 1/3 of it) if you answer the questionnaire about stuff you'll find inside the museum, which is at the back portion of the building. Imagine doing a u-shape walk in a small room with frames on the wall. There wasn't a production when we came, would have been sweet! Kind of didn't feel as welcoming because they all looked plain and somehow serious (maybe tired at noon-ish). Would I recommend for first-timers? Yes, if you are already in the area. I'll definitely be back in Raleigh but 50/50 if I want to bring guests there again. Also, we walked to the factory from the Capitol but there's parking around the area since there are other food spots too.

We got one sample and she didn't answer our questions. Can honestly say I wouldn't go back. Rather go buy nice chocolates from someone who acts like they want my business.

The…read morechocolates are not only delightfully tasty, they look absolutely stunning, making for great gifts or even treats for yourself. I just love that they are truly bean to bar (you can literally watch them sit and sort the beans, grind them, make the chocolate and all other steps of the process). The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient -- and while prices are a tad higher than your basic chocolates, they are reasonable for the high quality of premium treats you are going to get Just an additional thing I did not mention in my previous review: Their packaging is also great. Not only do they print off the individual names of chocolates you got if you make a box, there is a QR code which when you scan, takes you to the visual and descriptive online guide of all their flavors. Highly, highly recommend, and cannot see any reason why I would not make efforts to continue returning!

I hate to lower my review on Dairy Depot but a couple of years after posting my original review,…read moreDairy Depot has not been as good. The staff are ALWAYS friendly and quick, no issues with the service whatsoever! My issue is the lack of products every time we visit. They are always out of something, at least one thing...usually two or three items, but it's always the cup sizes that were guaranteed to be out. The last time we went, I had ordered a large train wreck with cookie dough and snickers. They were out of the large cups and cookie dough. So then I said brownie instead, they were out of that, too. Eventually, I gave up and stopped coming. You shouldn't have to make three order ideas just in case the other two aren't available, and that's exactly what was happening. They need better stock management here. The ice cream is good but it's not worth the frustrations anymore.

The Peanut Butter Rocky Road was to die for! My daughter enjoyed the Strawberry Toffee crunch- you wouldn't think these flavors of strawberry and toffee would go together- but they were a match made in heaven! The Mr. had his standby favorite- Coffee Bourbon, which he tells me is always a stellar delight. With the outdoor tables there is ample seating, and the string lights make the ambiance both family friendly, and somehow romantic for a date at the same time. You will see families of different sizes, multi-generational, and couples on dates. Leashed dogs are not only welcome, but encouraged. The service is consistently good, and it is clear that these folks enjoy their jobs! They take their time answering questions about flavors, allergens, and flavor combinations, and still manage to move the line rapidly. Check out Two Roosters! If there's a wait, it's worth it. If you find yourself visiting rather than picking up ice cream from the grocery store, don't blame me! It's that good!

"Childhood memories"…read more This is the ice cream I remember growing up. The flavor was spot on, the texture delightful. Service and ambiance were good .... but back to the ice cream. Just a really good product. In my opinion, they use quality ingredients and don't employ shortcuts.

The server was really nice and knowledgeable I couldn't decide which popsicle I wanted and she help me choose. She said that the pineapple was popular but she liked the lime mint and that's what I went with because it sounded extremely refreshing. The popsicle was soooo delicious. It was refreshing and just enough of mint and just enough of lime. The popsicle was so good that we went back and got a second one this time the strawberry + cream and that one was just as good. My husband and I wondered if we could buy them from a store. Overall great popsicles, refreshing and perfect for a hot day.

Tried for the first time today after being told that I MUST try bubble tea…read more Upon entering I was immediately greeted and asked if it was my first time there. It was, so I was given a tour of the shop and was explained on how the "system" worked. I decided to order the Mango flavor bubble tea, as bubble tea was my intention for the visit. Though I was very tempted by all the yummy yogurt options, so I think a return visit will be very soon!!! They had some wonderful fresh flavors of yogurt and even some odd ones that still looked tasty, like Taro. Huge and I mean HUGE selection of toppings! Anything from candies to chocolates to nuts to granola. A bar full of fresh fruits that all looked perfectly ripe and fresh. And then another section where you could add syrups and powders to your yogurt. My bubble tea was made to order, I would have loved to have seen them make it in front of me just to see the process. They make it in a back room instead. They had several flavors to choose from such as Mango, strawberry, coffee, green tea, taro and several others that I can't remember. They also make bubble tea smoothies, but they suggested I try the original for my first time. As for the bubble tea, yumm!! It's sweet and creamy and cold! Not too sweet, you can tell its just sweet from the fruit. I would have liked it to be a touch colder but maybe the smoothie style would satisfy that for me. The tapioca balls at the bottom make for an eye catching drink. They don't have much of a flavor but are fun to chew slightly and swallow. I also wanted to add how NICE the staff was!! So welcoming and lots of smiles!! I loved that! The store was spotless! Everything clean and fresh looking. Not a drop of sticky anywhere!!!! Lots of seating including outdoor seating which will be nice on cool nights. Good work citizen yogurt, I shall be back soon!!
