I love the variety they have. They also have lactose free ice cream and Italian ice. You can taste the difference in the ice cream here - it is very evident it is homemade. It is so delicious- you will not be disappointed here.

Second time visiting Grandpa Joe's, first time ordering their pizza and Wowie Zowie!…read more The base of the pizza is Bobby Boy Bakery focaccia and the richness and complexity of it transforms the pizza into an almost dessert-like experience. Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, slightly charred, it's a flavor and texture masterpiece. Mine was topped with burrata and prosciutto, they were generous with the prosciutto and it was so good and perfectly complimented by the melty burrata. A side of marina sauce adds extra zing. I found half a piece to be a satisfactory amount. My husband said he had almost ordered two pieces but only ordered one, he ate the other half of mine and found 1-1/2 pieces to be a good amount for him. He said he could have eaten two but 2-1/2 would have been too much. I chose a can of red wine to accompany this showpiece. The man behind the counter noted that the wine is made from Sangiovese grapes (as is Chianti, which is a Sangiovese blend). I thought it was an ok accompaniment to the pizza, it's not something I would drink on its own. The weather was perfect for dining al fresco, the other patrons were mostly groups of young couples, some with babies strapped to their bodies or in strollers or young children scooting about on riding toys. Pleasant.

Buddy Scoops is a family owned Gelato shop owned and operated by a Special Needs Family. They make…read moreall their own Gelato and have about 24 flavors.

If happiness had a flavor, I'm pretty sure Buddy Scoops would have already churned it…read more From the very first bite, you can taste the love, creativity, and pure homemade magic packed into every scoop.

We recently visited Dream Kreams as part of our food review series, The Golding Standard…read more Dream Kreams is a Black-owned ice cream bar located near the Kaleideum children's museum, making it a great stop if you're already spending time downtown with family. What stood out immediately was the variety of handmade flavors. During our visit, we sampled flavors like Peanut Butter & Jelly, Key Lime, Double Chocolate, Wedding Cake, and Biscoff. Every flavor felt intentional and unique rather than something you can find everywhere. The staff was friendly, patient, and happy to answer questions while helping customers work through all the options. The atmosphere was welcoming, family-friendly, and perfect for a hot North Carolina day. Dream Kreams is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for handcrafted ice cream and creative flavors.

I really love Kilwins, this has become our go to place for occasions. I love the dark chocolate covered orange peel and the raspberry truffles. My husband loves their fudge and they always offer buy two get one free on that. I got my daughters chocolate bunnies from here this year too. When I checked in here I was given a 20% off ice cream coupon on the app- when I presented it to the employees they were openly taken aback and I was told no one had ever used it before. It always feels awkward to have it go down like that but there you go Yelpers, I broke the seal for us all. They did honor the coupon after the confusion. Kilwins still has outdoor seating available in small amounts and I really enjoyed making my concoction! The ice cream is good and a cup is plenty.

While we were in the line the staff were taking time to get to know the guests which I thought was a great service touch. I got the NY Cheesecake Stacker and wow. It was good. It was A LOT, portion-wise, which is never a bad thing. Flavor was great. It wasn't as aggressively sweet you think. This was a fun place to try. Staff and guests were in good spirits, it was clean, there was a fun playlist going, just an overall good experience.

Been trying to get back to this spot for a while. We discovered it last year as part of a Yelp…read moreevent, and have been looking forward to visiting ever since. We were welcomed in by staff, who was very friendly. They offer a massive selection of ice cream flavors, which makes it tough to pick. They offer something for everyone including dairy free options (including vegan options), as well as classic flavors, fruity flavors, and their own concoctions! In addition, they offer unlimited toppings to be added at NO EXTRA CHARGE!!!!! Still stuffed from dinner, I got a "single" cup, which they actually allow you to put up to (2) favors in. I decided to to go with (2) of their original creations, getting the Peanut Butter Cookies & Cream, and the Salty Caramel Brownie, to top it off, i got a chocolate drizzle, sprinkles and whipped cream. WOW! Don't let the size of the cup fool you, they pack it, full, and have overflowing. They don't skimp. The ice cream was absolutely delicious, so rich and full of flavor. The space is very relaxed with plenty of seating, as well as games for people to enjoy while visiting. Another nice touch, the cashier gave us a bottle of water on the house. In addition to cups and cones, they also offer milkshakes, ice cream tacos made to your liking, and so much more. Hands down, this has got to be the best spot in the Triad to get a nice sweet treat! As the days are warming up, I'm looking forward to going back!
