11 Best Ice Cream Shops near Advance

“I have been visiting Sam’s Ice Cream regularly since they first opened in Advance, NC. Sometimes I have treated my grandchildren to “congratulations” celebrations here and I bring my 94 year old mother because they have a wide variety of sugar-free ice cream, her preference. The facility is clean and spacious. The staff are always friendly and quick to serve. My personal favorite is chocolate raspberry.“

“Great, friendly staff! Great ice cream 🍦“

“Stupendously great gelato! I've been spoiled by a now-closed (COVID) gelato shop in Charleston, SC, as well as one in Raleigh. I did my research, and have visited both locations of Cafe Gelato. Fantastic gelato, great people. Fortunately, if I go out of my way, it's right on my way. I wouldn't go anywhere else!!“

“Ordered a cake for my husband’s birthday yesterday. It was absolutely delicious 😋. 100%“

“Love these ladies and their shop!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Merry Christmas🎄🙏💗“

“First time at this location. I saw about four young men and women working at the time I stopped by. A young man offered to help me as their wifi had gone out and he needed to use the hotspot on his phone to get my order in. I appreciated his help.

The store delivered delicious cookies in a timely manner. My only critical point is that the store could’ve been cleaner. Especially given all the staff there. The counter had crumbles all over it and the glass doors were dirty with lots of smudges.

Still, a good visit overall. I would return.“

“If you are going to go to a sweet frogs.. This is the one I would go to ! My kids and I have “treat day” and usually that consists of sweet frogs! We were on the other side of town today and went to the one in Winston . I guess you could say that this sweet frogs made an impression that may just be hard to meet ! They are always so personable and caring to the children. They make you feel so welcome and help you whenever you need it ! 10/10 recommend this Sweet Frogs 🩷“

“My wife and I decided to stop in for our weekly Friday lunch date. We walked in and it was very busy! Customers wait in line to place their orders at the counter. It took just a few minutes which allowed us to look at their menu. My wife decided on the Thai Crunch salad (shredded lettuce, red cabbage, broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, cranberries, pecans, crunchy chow mein noodles and grilled chicken served with oriental dressing and in a fried flour tortilla bowl. She ordered it without mandarin oranges. I chose the Cham sandwich (chicken breast deep fried, ham, provolone cheese served on a hamburger bun with lettuce, tomato and mayo. I ordered mine without the tomato and mayo with a cup of Italian vegetable soup. We then took a seat. The orders are then called by order number, ours took about 10-15 minutes. Everything looked yummy. My wife quickly decided she really liked the salad and said she would definetely order it again. I also thought the soup was yummy but felt the Cham sandwich was just okay. They also have a counter on the far end of the restaurant specifically for their homemade ice cream. We were far too full to try it but will stop in the future! Overall, this was a positive experience and we will be back!“

“Good place to be with friends and family“

“Great place to eats great food and so is the ouner. Go in once or twice and the next time she will know what you want. Try her chicken salad it is the best.“
