I will say this time there was only a bite of pistachio inside- he was having trouble putting it in - the time before was so much better. I hope it has more filling next time- the non dairy soft serve ice cream is Really good.

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.

Did a random search to find something sweet to eat and this place came up. We are not from the area…read moreso tried to find places to try. Walked into this small little ice cream shop. Staff acknowledged us and welcomed us in. I saw a sign on door for fig cake ice cream sundae and my boyfriend ordered a banana split. Fig sundae was (Told HOMEMADE) fig cake with caramel sauce topped with ice cream scoop, I only vanilla for these types of things and came with whipped cream. Can I just say the cake was hot or heated already and had an amazing warm seasonings in it and a slightly crispy bottom and that vanilla ice cream added the perfect topping to that. I will say that was the BEST cake I have ever eaten and I didn't even know if I liked fig!! (Loved it so much went back the next day and ordered 2 of them) His banana split he got chocolate, vanilla and they were out of strawberry so he got cherry with hot fudge and nuts and whipped cream on top!! This place is definitely a must try even with a short drive! Top tier. They also mentioned they make their own ice cream too!! Have a variety of different flavors!!!

They also have specials on soft served cone ice creams on Sunday's too I think. They have about 8-10 different flavors from what I saw.

Wendell NC is a lovely small authentic NC town which consists of several small shall shops, mainly…read morebars and restaurants. One of those special small little shops is the creative cone, a family-owned frozen dessert business focused on delivering something deliciously unique to main street. Unlike DQ or any convenience store, the ice cream is small batch more delicious than any big box brand. The ideal ice cream shop goes beyond serving delicious frozen treats; it creates an immersive experience that delights customers through visual appeal, enticing aromas, high-quality ingredients, and friendly service. It becomes a place where customers can create cherished memories while indulging in their favorite frozen delights, and this is the focus of the creative cone. The creative cone brings a "build a bear" experience in the form of frozen desserts. They can build a cake or even flavor a soft serve and deliver it in a freshly baked waffle cone with all the fix-ins, without breaking a sweat. Wendell is lucky to have the creative cone, Cheers!

What a lovely ice cream shop! We had the chance to visit while we were in town visiting family- and…read moreI can see why this is a favorite spot. I think this spot might be tricky to find for some as it is a ways into a shopping area, but it is worth seeking it out. Service was great- I went with a flight so did not need to taste test, but they provided several samples to help the rest of my party decide what they wanted for their scoops and shakes. I love trying an ice cream flight at a little shop like this so I can try as many flavors as possible- and they were all good! They had some traditional flavors (chocolate peanut butter, cookies & cream, etc) as well as some unique options- I sampled both. The indoor space is relatively small, but there is enough outdoor seating for thr warmer months to help. If I lived here, I would be here often- highly recommend!

They ran out of milkshake lids. The customer right before me supposedly tool the last lid on their…read moremilkshake. The girl Grace took my order, then proceeded to be scooping the wrong ice-cream for my husband's milkshake (who is home recovering from surgery and wanted a milkshake). Then Grace disappears for about 5 minutes or so. Now mind you I had also had already waited in line for about 25 minutes. I am disabled and still went out to get my husband a milkshake. We'll after waiting for Grace to come back. She tells me that they are out of milkshake lids and no more milkshakes. They didn't announce it to everyone, just me. They could have used a soda lid. So now she messed up on the flavor of the milkshake and now no milkshakes supposedly. Then she had the nerve to tell the owner that I yelled at her and slammed their door when I left. It was freaking hot outside and in the heat, doors expand and makes it harder to close. So give me a break! They never have managers there either. My family and I have been coming there for at least 4 years. And now after I get this holier than thou message from supposedly the owner. They have definitely lost my business. I don't need lies told to me or religion down my throat. Here is the message from the Owner to me: "Hello Jennifer, I've taken some time to ponder over your message before responding. Our little business means the world to me and we never aim to do anything that will make people unhappy and ultimately nothing that would make God unhappy with us. Last night I received a message from the girls at the shop that they had run out of milkshake lids and a customer had slammed the door and left. I quickly responded with several suggestions of what they might have done to prevent that because, as I mentioned, we aim to please! I was disappointed that they hadn't, in the moment, seen another solution. Then I got your message and my perception of the situation shifted. It is heartbreaking to hear that someone who professes to be regular supporters of our business would vow to never return over one negative experience. Of course we wanted you to be able to enjoy a sweet treat especially in times of sickness and recovery, that's what we are here for! I've spoken with Grace and in her words she was "shaken up" and "wished she had thought of a solution sooner." To which I responded, "It's hard to problem solve when you're being yelled at." And that's what it comes down to, doesn't it? I don't know of many people how are able to see a clear soluntion to a problem when they are being yelled at, especially children. The message that you are presenting to the world on your FB page is Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you. And Never Judge anyone till you know all the facts. It is my opinion that in a moment of weakness you forgot to live by those words. I'm sorry for your trials. I have them too! You are not perfect and neither am I. Should I have been better stocked with milkshake lids, absolutely! Should you have treated others with more kindess, 100%! Things could have gone differently last night. I believe that you could have made it home with that milkshake for your husband if you had had just a bit of grace for Grace." Instead of solving the situation, the owner made it look like it was my fault they were out of lids and that it was my fault for everything. Excuse me? No as a worker at an establishment, you find solutions. Grace chose to work there. I didn't yell and I didn't slam the damn door. Unless the owner was there, NEVER MAKE ASSUMPTIONS AND THE OWNER HAD NO RIGHT THROWING RELIGION IN MY FACE!!
