Absolutely fabulous. This was a great find as we were driving back to Charlotte. The family that owns this is very friendly and made us feel at home right away. The ice cream was all very good. You get a lot for the price and even though it says 1 scope it’s a BIG scoop. We will be back and bring our friends. Thank you for the great ice cream. There are outdoor setting options. It conveniently located just off the highway. The shop is v wry cute and well cared for.

I used Sweet Scoops for a catering job. Great experience! The owner Tiffany and her assistant was so professional. They served up hard scoops of ice cream in the North Carolina heat. The flavors and toppings were delicious. My guests were delighted.

My family and I went for our very 1st time yesterday and it was amazing. Not only was the ice-cream good, the lady and her son that work there were wonderful people. We talked and had a good time like we have known her for years, not to mention my baby (1 year old) loved her as well and let her hold her I couldn't say enough about her, I just loved her. Just her, herself will bring everyone back! I definitely give it a 10/10

Y'all please go out and support this ice cream shop. The staff there is always courteous and they give you more than enough ice cream. My daughter had to say that's enough lol. This place is one to keep in rotation when you need a ice cream fix.

We stopped in with our family of 5 for some ice cream and it didn't disappoint at all! We all got a variety of flavors and I don't think any of us left unsatisfied. The prices were great for the huge portions! The two ladies working were very friendly as well! The interior is small but nicely decorated. Can't wait to come back and try their cakes!
