    Cup of Strawberry Custard.
    Cassandra J.

    I finally decided to stop in and try the frozen custard here after having several disappointing frozen treats at other places on Main Street, and I won't be going back to any of those other places again. What Whits' lacks in flashy and old school Mayberry storefront appeal it more than makes up for with genuinely delicious frozen treats. What knocked a star off for me was that the ambiance is pretty lacking and there wasn't really seating available inside, but those are honestly the only things I can fault them on. Inside is overall pretty small with a counter and the menu on suspended boards over it, a freezer full of premade frozen custard to-go, and some merch thankfully out of the way. It's simple for what it is, and the menu is visible and easy to navigate which makes the simplicity kind of work. This business is also set apart by the fact that they stay open longer than a lot of places on Main Street, and if you're out after dinner or for an evening walk you can pop in for a really nice treat. So again you aren't paying for atmosphere but more for convince and a quality product. So admittedly I had never tried frozen custard before coming here, so I can't compare it to other frozen custard places, but I can definitely compare it to other frozen treat options in the area. When you come here, you can see the machines they're using to make the custard, unlike almost everywhere else on the street that serves ice cream out of a commercial 3-gallon container. That alone to me resonates that they're putting a lot of effort into the product, and after my first bite I can say for certainty it shows. I got a cup of their plain strawberry, which had strawberry bits that tasted fresh not like freeze-dried hunks of sweetness, and my friend tried their vanilla with cookie dough, and it was a good amount of cookie dough for the price. If you haven't tried frozen custard before, please remedy that because I was blown away by how much smoother it was without being overly heavy, and how much better the flavors carried through. The only flaw Whit's frozen custard has is that if you're walking down Main Street on a warm day with it, it will start to melt quickly so you're racing the clock a little. As far as the price goes most people will spend at least $3-4 on a treat (aside from the kid's menu which is a little less), but even their specialty sundae options are only $5.50 tops. It isn't the cheapest option in town, but the prices are still really reasonable, and everything I've tried has absolutely been worth the price. What I also really love is that they are constantly adding something new and/or seasonal to the menu. They're also super cool about free samples! I can also say that it really has something for everyone, you can keep it simple or try something new every time you visit. Seriously, they'll put the frozen custard in coffee or slushies and I seriously can't wait to go back and try both! Another big seller for me is that it may be a chain, but it's still locally run and fits the small-town family business scene for the area. Customer service has been great, and it's been nice meeting a local family invested in bringing something new and delicious to Mayberry. Overall, the business is likely not fully recovered from COVID, but as they get back on track I hope to see them improve the customer experience a little more and invest in some curb appeal and branding. No matter what though, they have an unbeatable product, and I hope locals and visitors alike give them a try (and get just as hyped as me to return)! They're officially my number one recommendation to anyone hoping to get a cool treat when visiting downtown Mayberry, and as much as I hope this review convinces some people to try something new, there's no substitute for heading in and trying it out for yourselves!

    The Custard here is spectacular. Very smooth as custard should be. I got the flavor of the day, "Buckeye" it was delicious.

    People rave about the fruit pies here and maybe that's where I went wrong, because I didn't get a…read morefruit pie, but I am very sad that I had to give this place such a low rating. Walking into the bakery felt like stepping into a pastry lover's dream. The warm aroma of freshly baked bread and sweet confections filled the air, and the presentation was nothing short of picture-perfect. Every cake, pie, and cookie looked as though it belonged in a high-end magazine and I found myself salivating over every sweet concoction. But sadly, the taste didn't live up to the visual appeal. Despite the bakery's inviting atmosphere, the flavors fell flat, lacking the richness and depth I had hoped for. The confectionary sugars were tasteless and dry. It's frustrating when something looks and smells incredible but doesn't deliver where it truly counts--on the palate. We got the Cow Patty cake which is like a no bake cookie on top of a chocolate cake: the top was ok but crumbled when you tried to cut it, and the chocolate cake below was very dry from being overbaked. I was super excited to see she had Hot Cross Buns which I had always wanted to try but never found a bakery that sold them. Once again I was left very disappointed. The bun itself was very dry and the cross on top was so hard you could not eat it. I was literally able to peel the cross off the bun and it did not break. The last thing we got was what I think was a Chocolate Chunk Pecan Pie ??? It was like a chocolate chess pie with pecans and chunks of chocolate baked into it. Once again very disappointed. The pie should have been sweet but was very lack luster and flavorless. One bright spot, however, was the owner who was pleasant despite the culinary shortcomings. I appreciate her kindness and the effort she put into creating such a beautiful space, but when it comes to flavor, there's room for improvement. Here's hoping future visits bring a better balance between the bakery's stunning presentation and the taste of its creations.

    They offer a ton of different desserts. We bought a variety including mine pecan and peach pies…read morealong with a whoopie pie and a death by chocolate brownie. My favorite was the pecan pie. The peach pie was good. My son loved his brownie and the whoopie pie was good as well. With so many choices it can be overwhelming so I would suggest batting a few mini pies.
