    Cake
    D A.

    I stumbled by this spot while I was running errands. Was perfect for a Saturday splurge. I'm a fan of icing & they didn't disappoint. However, the cake was moist too. Was very clean inside. Though there were other customers, I was greeted right away. Trying to lose weight is my only reason I haven't returned.

    I got these for a birthday gift delivered by DoorDash. I got half dozen cupcakes. Flavors lemon, Oreo, red velvet, sprinkles and devils food with cream in the middle. I found they had to much frosting that was a tad sweet. The cake was moist and delicious, so I scraped off the icing. They are okay for occasional treat.

    Absolutely love this place!!!! I crave these cupcakes so much, it's very unhealthy of me lol. But I enjoy them a lot and will continue to order from here. Cupcakes always taste fresh and delicious. I eat them, even when my delivery person, had turned the box upside downs, smh. My favorites are the chocolate and birthday cake cup cakes

    cake. Sooooooo good!

    Ok my! The cupcakes are soooo good. I had the carrot cake and it taste like a mini cake. Not like the dry boring cupcakes but like a real moist cake. The price was good also and they had a very good variety. Also they sell ice cream too. The prices are nice. The cupcakes are around $4 or $5 but I have paid more for regular cupcakes. This will be a stop on every trip I take to Charlotte. They are nice and they have a rewards system.

    This place is addictive! First of all, Customer Service is unmatched. I asked a LOT of questions & the server was so polite, and KNOWS the product. (which was very refreshing) I went in a Monday and got the Fudge Sunday flavor of the day and it tasted just like a fudge sundae and even had me wondering if there was a way to freeze it and indulge! The baker that ran the register was really sweet and got me signed up with rewards for this location. Being new to the area, and never trying small cakes, I picked a few options and raved about this place to others. This is really going to be one of those places where I will have to pace myself because honestly I want to try ALL the small cakes! The flavors are great and the cupcakes are soft and store well overnight and for a few days. Be on the lookout for more pics of me trying the small cakes but they exceeded my expectations on this classic dessert l! 5 stars is NOT enough!!!! *** JOB. WELL. DONE.!! Thank you guys!

    When walking into this cupcake shoppe you must remind yourself that every baker starts with basically the same ingredients for cake, but some go the extra mile. This place does that! Therein lies the difference between gourmet cupcakes and ordinary ones. All cakes are sweet and to some degree, tasty, but from the brightly colored boutique boxes to the cupcake decorations.... the attention to lovely details is what makes these special. They have homemade ice cream and cakes in mason jars. You will have to decide for yourself if their treats are worth the premium price, but having visited Smallcakes, I can tell you that these three things are true: First, they had quite a reasonable amount of folks in and out on this Tuesday, on the second day of spring. Additionally, people were willing to part with four dollars per cupcake and nearly $15.50 for four. That's not cheap, so they must be doing something right. Finally, the vast array of choices means that everyone can get exactly what they like. They had wedding cakes, sundae cupcakes, brownies and even cannolis. Happily situated near a Starbucks, IKEA and Culver's.... There is a shared parking lot and they have a rewards program that is both painless and card-less to join.

    Very cute and quaint bakery offering a variety of cupcakes and ice cream. I opted to get the Boston creme pie cupcake and it good, not as moist as I was expecting or wanting it to be, but still had good flavor nonetheless. I would go back and try other flavors. They have some permanent flavors and they rotate other flavors, so something for every tastebud.

    We love Smallcakes! I almost always stop in after dinner at Pisces (best sushi in Mooresville!) The salted caramel and peanut butter cup are fam favorites. The weekly flavors are fun to try, too. Whatever you choose, it will be moist, flavorful, and topped with a generous heap of yummy frosting!

    Nice little bakery in the area. Cupcakes are filling and super moist! Cookies come 3 in a pack and they were flavor packed as well . Would definitely return for something sweet in the near future . The decor inside is beautiful and chic . Little to go boxes are also really cool .

    Branded box with total Deliciousness inside!

    These are hands down the best cupcakes in Charlotte!!!!! It's the perfect ratio of cupcake to frosting and the frosting is not overly too sweet. I have already visited the Huntersville location, but this was my first time at the University location. They had a wide variety of cupcakes, some cake pops, cupcakes in a jar, and even ice cream. The cupcakes were fresh and totally delicious that I ordered- vanilla strawberry and wedding which is an almond flavored cupcake. I had my eye on the lemon drop cupcake, so I will get that one next time. Note: if you buy a gift card, it has to be used at this location and not any of the other Smallcakes in town.

    Margarita cup cake

    Run don't walk to this bakery. The cupcakes are finger licking good. You have to try the Margarita cupcake and the peanut butter cupcake. The bakery is clean, the decor is cute, you can also purchase coffee. So many options and the prices are reasonable.

The shop is very small, they have a good selection of flavors, and it is all dairy, egg, and gluten free. You honestly would never know! It tasted exactly how ice cream should. Great mouth feel, rich, but not sweet. We tried the chocolate with cookies and Oreo pieces and the mint chip. Very very tasty. Again, if they did not tell you this was dairy free, you could not tell at all. They offer tastes, you can get one or two scoops or waffle cones, or ice cream sandwiches, and I think you can ask for sprinkles. They have a friendly staff behind the counter. They are also cashless, so be sure to have a credit card here. I would definitely come back for another flavor, I was really wowed by this ice cream. If you are in Camp North End, stop in for a scoop.

Jeni's continues to offer really fun flavors made well and even in non-dairy options (hooray for vegan flavors!)

Sadly I was only able to narrow it down to two flavors - banana dream pudding (I'm usually not into banana but this is GOOD!) and peppermint patty. It was a weird combo but it worked!

No matter how many new places pop up, nothing ever compares to the quality and creativity they bring to every single scoop. You can always taste the difference. The flavors are always so thoughtfully done, from the classics to the more unique combinations they come out with season by season. It's the kind of place where you end up trying something new every time and somehow it becomes your new favorite. The South End location is such a great spot too. They have seating both inside and outside which makes it perfect whether you want to sit and enjoy a sunny day or just take a quick break while you're out walking around. It always feels like a little reset in the middle of the day. And the team there truly makes the experience. Every time I go in, they are so kind, patient, and so beyond helpful when you're deciding between flavors which is not easy to do. You can tell they actually care This place never disappoints and is one of those spots I keep coming back to again and again. Absolute favorite.

So which version are customers supposed to believe? Regardless of who is saying what, the outcome is the same. They lost several customers yesterday, and we will not be returning after this experience. After talking to a lawyer, they believe this is predatory enforcement, and we will file a complaint with the North Carolina Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division and with the Better Business Bureau. Two Scoops Creamery on Central Avenue went from being one of our favorite spots to somewhere we will never return in less than a minute. We met up with a group of friends there today. Before grabbing ice cream, we briefly stopped into Sin City next door. As one of our friends was walking in, he noticed cars in the shared parking lot were actively being booted. We had been there maybe 15 minutes. Apparently, if you step into the neighboring business at all -- even if you're planning to purchase from Two Scoops immediately after -- they will boot your car and demand $275 to remove it. We spoke directly with the staff at Two Scoops and explained that we were simply meeting up and didn't realize stepping next door wasn't allowed. The response was essentially, "Too bad." There was no grace, no warning, no attempt at understanding -- just an immediate $275 penalty. It feels like an incredibly predatory and unethical practice, especially for loyal customers who intended to support the business. We didn't even stay for ice cream, and we won't be back.
