A small shop next door to Twisted Tomato. They had several ice cream choices. I wanted Me.on but they were scraping the sides of the container so I chose the Blue Panda. A huge scoop on a small sugar cone was almost more than I could eat, but I did. And it was very good. They also had all kinds of pies, pastries and sweets but I didn't indulge in those. I'd get ice cream there again and maybe some sweets. It's a nice little treat shop while walking through the stores on a warm day.

Stopped in here after a mediocre dinner next door at Twisted Tomato. This place was awesome!
I sampled a few flavors (which were all good) and settled on a scoop of seasonal pumpkin ice cream in a waffle cone. So good, like a frozen pumpkin pie!
Also, the scoops in the waffle cones are huge (which is not a bad thing.) But If you want a smaller serving, go with the sugar cone.
It wasn’t busy when we went and we were in and out with two cones in less than 5 minutes. In all, highly recommend if you want a sweet treat in McCaysville!

Just had the new croffle! Warm and crunchy croissant/waffle smothered in chocolate raspberry ice cream! To die for good 🤗.

Very poor customer service. The employee Lily was very rude and even another customer noticed and said something. I will never go back! First time - Last time

The store has been closed the last 3 times that I tried to make a purchase. Phone number on the website is incorrect. No way to contact the business without driving to the store. While I was there the last time, about a dozen customers tried to come in and purchase but the standard answer is "we are short staffed" Good grief!

If you are looking for a great breakfast and an amazing value, give Happy Bear Cafe a try. You will love it. They also have delicious coffees- plain and fancy.
