I can't say enough about this little ice cream shop. Delicious flavor for both the ice cream and made fresh waffle cones that come in multiple flavors! I had a lemon crumble ice cream in a blueberry waffle cone and I was in heaven. The line moves quickly, so don't let that stop you. If you are in this part of NC, you must try it. It was the perfect ending to a long day of hiking.

This has become a staple for my dogs and I after hiking! I don't get my ice cream in a cone anywhere else...but the warm waffle cones complement the ice cream perfectly!

Some of the most delicious ice cream I've ever had! I got mine served in a warm red velvet cone. If you live within an hour of here, it's worth the drive. They also have a rather unique cowch

After a great hike on our way down we stopped here for ice cream. The ice cream was so delicious and the waffle cones were freshly prepared and still warm when handed to us. I got the red velvet waffle cone with cookies and cream ice cream. The staff were friendly, sweet and fast. This will have to be our new stop after each hike.

Holy cow! This is THE best homemade ice cream and homemade waffle cones in North Carolina, possibly the world!! So delicious. The staff is wonderful and delivers big smiles with each cone. The flavors of waffle cones and ice cream are fun to mix and match - blueberry cones with lemon crunch ice cream, peach ice cream with vanilla cone. Worth the drive to Danbury, NC and a visit to Hanging Rock for a hike.

Thank you for the delicious ice cream and cone! The blueberry cone with mint chip sounds crazy but tastes amazing. They also sell wood.
