Great local ice cream / fro-yo place! They have both soft serve and hand scooped ice cream, plus a…read morewide variety of toppings. The soft serve / fro-yo flavors are a little odd, in my opinion. There are more "unique" flavors and less of the classics I generally gravitate toward. But they let you weigh hand scooped + toppings the same as you would fro-yo, so the addition of that variety makes up for it. There are a handful of both indoor and outdoor tables, all kept relatively clean (not sticky!!). They don't let you get your own samples (the person behind the counter will come out and get it for you), which some people might not like, but I appreciate because it is more sanitary. Prices are pretty on par with other places, and they have the price-by-weight posted on the wall. I appreciate the transparency.

The customer service was phenomenal. The staff exchanged pleasantries with everyone that walked in. It felt like home or a close friend's house. We were a group of 8 which can be overwhelming for small shops such as this one. However, they handled everything with ease. They answered my questions with positive attitudes and even did not get annoyed by my son who can get overly excited about sweet treats. I hope to visit again.

We're lucky to have this shop in town, with a huge selection of fresh hand scoop ice creams served in everything from the standard sugar cone, to waffle cones and bowls, as a taco, milkshakes, and sundaes. They also have a small coffee selection. With extremely friendly staff, dozens of flavors to choose from, this really has everything you need in an ice cream shop. You can come here and get a completely different creation every single visit. And if you're indecisive, they offer a "surprise me" option with my kids personally love. There's a small amount of inside seating, and a bench outside if you want to enjoy it in the heat.

Normally I don't go back and update my positive reviews, but because I've eaten at the Chat and…read moreChew a disproportionate number of times compared to everything else I've reviewed lately, I felt a 1 year (well, 8 months) revisit might be warranted. As before, I give this a resounding 5 stars. The menu has changed a little bit since I last wrote a review, and I've tried some new items. I have yet to try anything that I didn't like. My new go-tos are the raging chicken salad on a croissant and the berries and cream pastries. If you read my previous review, you will see that I was working up the nerve to try the chicken salad, because I'm somewhat meat-averse at times, and also don't like heavily mayonnaised foods, which is a big risk with any of the so-called "salad" items (potato, chicken, tuna, etc.) in life. I can now confirm that the chicken salad is 1) not overly mayonnaised and 2) made from not-gross chicken (I have no further explanation for this, but picky eaters will know what I mean). It's relatively light, has a nice texture, and is flavorful. It is one of my favorite weekend lunch items (or weekday, if I'm working remotely and in the area) now, not just here but in general. The berries and cream pastry is delicious and I would eat everyday, or even multiple times a day, if my figure and my wallet could afford it. Sweet, rich, flaky. Definitely one of my favorite dessert / sweet snack items currently. I also got a birthday cake made here and it was absolutely gorgeous (and delicious, obviously). Very well executed and totally got my vision. As I said before, there is plenty of seating inside (outside too!) and the volume level is perfect -- lots of people coming through, but quiet enough I can read, study, or do work. We spend several hours at a time in here some weekends. Highly recommend to anyone in the area or passing through.

The Chat and Chew Café is a welcoming, locally owned coffee shop and bakery. Drink options include…read moreiced, hot, and blended beverages, including chai, drip coffee, espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, and frappes. As well as mix-and-match coffee flights for $10. Pair your drink with a snack; choose from a wide variety of baked goods, including bagels, crumb cakes, cheesecakes, Danishes, croissants, and cakes. Or if you are hungrier, consider one of their salad or sandwich options. I ordered an iced Irish Moo latte with oat milk from their featured menu and was not disappointed. If you are unsure what to order, ask the barista for a recommendation; you will not be disappointed. While you wait for your order, I highly recommend browsing the gift shop. Browse from a wide range of locally made goods. Whether you are looking for a new travel mug, candles, body butter/scrubs, handmade washcloths, or local honey, you will find something unique. Be sure to check out the paintings available for purchase at the shop. All hand-painted by the owner.

I also saw they have charcuterie board which sounds amazing to try with their flight of coffees. Definitely will visit when traveling again that way.

My…read moreunderstanding is that there are 12 locations now, and that all are company spots - in fact, the company has very directly said that they are not currently offering franchise opportunities. The12 spots stretch from Jacksonville NC in the east to Hendersonville in the west! And there appear to be plans to expand into Greensboro, and perhaps Burlington. I like that these are company run operations, it can make quality controls matters easier to administer and monitor. Perhaps the biggest contributor to inconsistent quality at fast food chains is the quality control mandates are not vigorously enforced. The only major chain that I'm aware of that does insist standards be met is Jersey Mike's, and they have even suspended franchisee agreements of non- compliant stores. This is a very nice location, bright and shiny with easy access to drive thru or parking. I ordered two hot dogs, one with mustard and sauerkraut and one with mustard, chili, and onions. I don't order the combo here because I don't care for the FF. As usual the hot dogs were excellent, and I am becoming quite fond of the sauerkraut dog - the kraut has a nice bite to it. All in all this was a very good spot, perhaps the best Dairi-o I've visited.
