It was so dark in there so I could barely see at the end haha. The table we went to was chipping on the side so anytime I moved it caught my dress which I wasn't not a fan of. The double stuffed was more like a soufflé than a cake - the star of that plate was the cheesecake ice cream. The chai mocktail was alright. It had a coffee ice cube which I wasn't a fan of since it was like gritty. 3 drinks and two desserts were $65. I feel like that's insane. Again - I get it, it's an experience but, eh. I feel like I could get better deserts elsewhere and now that I experienced it - I wouldnt be a repeat customer.

YES they are cash only and seasonal so make sure you are tracking that but they do not skimp on the ice cream. also, the staff was super patient and sweet, giving us time to figure out what we wanted with all the amazing choices! three of us had arctic swirls of various creation (you can mix multiple candy in) and I had a boston shake. my only regret is not having enough room to finish it...choc pb shake with choc fudge sundae on top...ridiculously good! we cannot wait to come back and this will and be a summer staple when visiting grandpa's cabin

I loved going to the local ice cream or frozen custard stand with my family when I was a kid... and…read moreVampire Penguin is a reminder of it. There's outdoor seating (umbrella tables) and indoor as well. A very small strip mall near Lowe's and Target. Staff is friendly and helpful-- though not chatty. VP caters to families, even though the prices are a bit higher than at a crushed ice stand. (Huge difference is that this is shaved SNOW-- and it is way better tasting than the crushed ice). These are more like a gourmet dessert that have "eye appeal" and taste great. (Get small size for your kids they are pretty filling). So to summarize, it's fun because it's not ordinary and the staff takes pride in their creations. Make your own if you're adventurous, which I plan to do next time. Been three times now. I like it a great deal and don't feel weighed down after eating it. Also Fuji is walking distance, if you want to make an evening of it with dinner/dessert. (Oh... don't forget to use the tip jar for the staff)

It was also amazing. If you're looking for something to feed your sweet tooth come here for sure.

Plenty of variety for everyone and i love how unique all the combinations are. I do feel as though they have made their portions smaller in comparison to when they first opened. I have visited other Handels locations and the Clemson location portions are smaller in comparison. They are typically very busy but worth the wait.

I've wanted to visit Carmella's for some time, and today was the day we made it…read more I'm glad I had GPS, because Carmella's is in a somewhat odd location. You can't drive up to it, so that's a consideration for people with any ambulatory issues. However, there is a parking garage close by, so that will satisfy most people. I drove into the access for the parking garage, and dropped off hubby, as he has had recent foot surgery. I then drove back out to the street and parked. I do like free parking. The area in front of Carmella's is beautiful and expansive. A breeze was blowing, the leaves were moving, and you get to capture that view and feeling inside the restaurant. We sat right at a window. Hubby and I shared the Raspberry Almond Tart (GF) and a Latte. Yeah, it was GOOD. I mean good as in I Could Have Eaten An Entire Tart. But, come on; you know I didn't need that whole thing. Sigh. I can give my full endorsement of Carmella's, and especially their gluten-free tarts. SO delicious.

I will admit that my initial reaction to the Belgium waffle wasn't great. For a dine in experience, being served in a to-go container felt a little off, and the Smucker's syrup didn't exactly help matters. Let's be honest, that's not real maple syrup, and it definitely took away from the presentation. That said, the waffle itself redeemed those first impressions. It was delicious, light, and had this subtle hint of vanilla that made it feel a little more special than your standard waffle. That touch of sweetness and flavor helped me quickly forget my initial disappointment. The breakfast presentation could use a little upgrade, but the taste absolutely delivered.

They put the ice cream with various fruit and candy and blend it together. Notably, an option for banana cream with no dairy was offered, so the vegan or otherwise dairy-free can build anything to their heart's content. I got a basic order with just chocolate cream and mint bits mixed in. For one scoop, it was a respectable portion, having a smooth, custard-like texture and plenty of flavor. I'm sure I could build something more interesting if I hadn't been trying to beat the sunset home, but the impression I get is that this is the most interesting dessert place around.
