“My friends and family were out for a night on the town, in downtown Davidson. After having dinner in Cornelius, we were driving around Davidson and we found ourselves in dire need of a sweet treat upon walking down the beautiful strip that is downtown Davidson we be held the ice cream shop Ben & Jerry’s upon us walking in Trace and Noah immediately greeted us with friendly faces. I was immediately calmed by how nice they were and the delicious ice cream and toppings that topped my ice cream.
These sweet treats mean the world to me and I was immediately teleported to the dairy fields of the farm. Words cannot describe how pleasurable my experience was at Ben & Jerry’s in downtown Davidson. Trace and Noah will have me coming back for more. Keep up the great work.“

“Finally tried this ice cream place! They have lots of the classic flavors and three experimental flavors right now, which were so good (cinnamon toast crunch 🤤, Andes mint, and lemon bar). Cute picnic tables, cornhole and lights make this a perfect summer staple. If you’re in the area, it’s a must try!“

“We love this place and visit often! Our favorites are sugar cookie (without sprinkles 😜), birthday cake, and cookies & cream.“

“Casual and dependable local place to grab a sandwich and a milkshake. Lunch time can be super busy and can take a while.“

“Wife and kids were feenin’ for something sweet, so we stopped by Handel’s one night after dinner… and just like that, it became part of our nightly post-dinner routine.

We ended up going back 4 nights in a row! Each time, we went for the four-scoop sampler and, by the end of our trip, we’d tried 32 different flavors. Yep—32! And honestly? They were all pretty great. Creamy, delicious, and not too sweet—just perfect.

Handel’s became more than dessert—it became the highlight of our nights. You’ve been warned: once you go, you’ll probably go again… and again… 😄🍨“

“Amazing cozy little place in Davidson, NC! This time we had the ice cream with the cherry cheesecake in it and the banana pudding and both were amazing!!

“Morelia Ice Cream Paletas in Birkdale is such a cute little gem! The service is always quick, and the staff is super friendly every time we visit.

My family absolutely loves their paletas — they’re just the right amount of sweetness and it’s great that they offer vegan options too.

We tried the chocolate hazelnut cookies and cream with cookie butter and almonds, and the coconut with dark chocolate and almonds — so, so, so yummy! 😋 Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving a fun treat!“

“This place is amazing the cookies are so delicious and they are so soft and chewy I went 3 days in a row and I will do it again yummy ?

Parking: It’s just hard to get a parking spot but no matter that it’s worth the wait and I will wait for parking spot if need be that’s how much I enjoy CRUMBL COOKIES ?“

“there was something for everyone! my husband got the Salted caramel and my son got the watermelon which tasted like watermelon jolly ranchers. I got the Italian tart which was so good I wanted seconds. They had a wide selection of toppings from cookies to chocolate to gummy worms. Staff was friendly and I will definitely be coming by again.“

“Orders are always exactly as ordered. Nicely completed with their pretty aesthetics.

I do not think even when other people are there that I have not been in and out in under 10 minutes.

The app is super easy to use. Gift cards are sometimes available at Costco in Mooresville for 80 cents on the dollar. Do note that when you use a gift card you do not collect Crumbl points for the order just FYI.

Will continue to use and would recommend.“

“Had a great time at Sweet Frog. The chocolate and cake batter yogurt were delicious, especially in the waffle cone. The topping options are unbelievable!“

“Delicious! When I'm hot and thirsty from working on my yard and garden I like to go to Pelican's SnoBalls. Kids size snow cone with light cherry juice. I have to say too, the young adults that work there are always very nice and they get my humor!! 5 stars!“

“Love the Dippin dots ice cream. This is a guilty pleasure for us when we visit the mall. I'm a fan of the cotton candy flavor. Get the large size for maximum value. This store at the mall is conveniently located close to the movie theater so you can grab it on your way home.“

“Amazing staff! Great flavors! Highly recommend!“

“May be Nicest Brusters in the chain. Sits in a beautiful park-like setting along a quaint parkway in a local mixed use neighborhood. Ice cream and service is excellent. Lots of delicious choices. 2 courteous & clean-cut young folks serving behind counter. So rare these days. Refreshing. We'll be back. ....and back..“

“Best Ice Cream Spot in Denver, NC!

Cookies N Creme in Denver, NC is an absolute must-visit! The cream flavors are rich, smooth, and incredibly indulgent. Their signature cookies and cream flavor is pure perfection — velvety cream with generous cookie chunks in every bite.
What makes this place special is the variety — soft serve, hand-dipped scoops, and specialty creations with endless topping options to customize your treat. There’s something for everyone!
Beyond the amazing ice cream, this is a warm, community-loved local gem with staff that truly cares. If you’re in the area, stop in — one visit and you’ll be hooked! 🍦🍪“

“The ice cream wasn't bad but also not the best I ever had. It is very convenient and close to shops, restaurants and bars in mooresville downtown. It could use some work inside the shop to make it feel nicer because it was a bit run down looking“

“Had a baby reveal and double birthday celebration.. I had specific idea for a cake for expecting sisters..Rachel did an edible image I provided and decorated just as I had requested..PERFECTION!! And this was by far THE BEST marble cake I have ever eaten. Beyond moist and amazing icing!!! I also had 40 mini cupcakes a mix of 4 flavors (lemon, strawberry, red velvet and carrot) and I cannot tell you which was better…all the best yummy representation of their flavor!!! I am a cake junkie..I live for cake. My last meal request would be cake..and it would have to be made by Rachel! 11/10!!!! Such an amazing job! Happy me!“

“We had An excellent experience add this Baskin Robbins location. Dallas, the person who waited on us, did a fabulous job. She knew her product very well. Was able to describe what was in the dolphin ice cream cup treat perfectly. There were five of us in our party and we all got exactly what we wanted thanks to her help. Bravo Dallas!“

“Waiting 20 minutes now for a to go coffee. Crew can't handle the amount of orders. Everyone is waiting long periods of time. Used to be a great place.“

“I do not recommend this place…….Called 3 times finally a man answered. Told trying to order a sheet cake on line. He said just order the ten inch and I will remember it. Never asked my name. Got back on website and it would not let me describe what I want on this birthday cake. Called back many times and finally picked up without saying nothing and then took the phone off the hook….very rude place. I have bought many cakes there and will find another DQ…..“

“I’ve been coming here for a few years now and recently I’ve been coming here almost everyday before work. I love their smoothies, build your own parfaits, and grabbing their immunity boosters for a quick pick me up :) definitely recommend 😋😋“

“Innovative flavors and an amazing crust. I had the Stella, a star-shaped pizza with ricotta stuffed crust and the fabulous flavor of smoked cheese. The best! My daughter had the Vegan-rita and raved about it. Highly recommend!“
