    This is the best place in Gatlinburg for quality, no-BS ice cream, milk shake, and coffee-based drinks. Why? Because they are the only ones who make their ice cream in-house. All the other "fancy" places around town overcompensate with complicated decorations and combinations because the heart of their desserts - the ice cream - is store bought (like Blue Bell, Ben n Jerries, etc.). A good dessert place gets the simple things right and doesn't rely on miscellaneous add-on's. The honey lavender and strawberry cheesecake ice cream shakes were so good - they were made properly and hit the spot! The location is inside the aesthetic and photogenic "The Village". Store space is not designed for dine-in although there are a few bar stools and outdoor seats. It's ideal for getting your sweet treat and enjoying it outside. Service was friendly and efficient.

    Great little spot in The Village! The coffee was really good, and I loved that they offer breakfast sandwiches in addition to drinks and ice cream. The patio is dog friendly, which was a huge plus and made it easy to sit and enjoy everything with my pup. The only downside is that it is a little pricey (it was $30 for two coffee drinks and two breakfast sandwiches), but overall it was a nice stop and worth checking out.

    Delicious homemade ice cream! The portions are really generous and the actual ice cream is flavorful, creamy and a good value. Loved the variety and some unique flavors. Happy to support a local shop! Got to sample a couple flavors before we bought the scoops. (I do think you get more in a cup vs cone). I got the cookie butter and espresso butterfinger and my husband got the chocolate mint. Really cute area as well to sit and eat the ice cream in the shopping center.

    Very cute little shop with good drinks! We have iced caramel macchiato and Pina colada smoothie. Both of them are so delicious. Highly recommended!!
