Ice Cream Shops near Surry

“Such a wonderful an easy experience for our wedding. The staff was so lovely and we heard great compliments from our guests. It adds such a fun piece to an event and we highly recommend using Kona ice of Keene NH for any of your future events.“

“I'll try and make a long story short. My fiancée (now wife) and I were wondering a wedding expo looking for ideas on how to make our special day more fun, exciting and unique. Walking up an aisle, we noticed a small cart near the door, with two people standing behind it with a colorful cow on it. In a room full of exciting music, beautiful dresses, and makeup tutorials, it stood out as quite the oddity. I had to approach and see what the deal was, and was surprised to find a gelato cart.We knew immediately we had found something to make our day stand out! After talking with the crew for a while and getting business details, we walked away knowing we were going to have them at our wedding.I cannot speak more highly of Elijah and his willingness to make sure our day went perfectly. Or... at least what he was tasked with. We made a special trip up to try out some different flavors (though I never did get my peanut butter...), and the whole experience was amazing. He met special with us and gave us a quick tour of their place, the process, the science, and several tastings. We had a good long hour talk, where we went back and forth to make sure we had the details nailed down, and the flavors picked.Our big day came, we said our "I do's" and I still remembering smiling when I saw that colorful cow in the corner of our reception hall. I still feel horrible that I didn't get a better chance to speak with him, but I can say that everyone raved about the gelato.Its something small and silly, and may even be a bit hyperbole, but I really don't think our special day would have been the same without Elijah and Frisky Cow's gelato! I cannot speak anymore highly of his care and attentiveness to make sure he provided what he could for us, and willingness to drive an hour and half to provide our guests with their amazing gelato. My friends and family still rave about the amazing flavors.A five star score to means me perfection. It means not only having an amazing product worthy of attention, it also is a measure of the attentiveness of the owners and employees, and their willingness to go an extra step to serve their customers. We asked a bit more of them when we asked them to head our cocktail hour after the ceremony, and before the reception, but they absolutely delivered. I cannot, with anymore emphasis, recommend them. For a fun day of sweet and creamy gelato, to having them come down and provide for a bunch of idiots before they make complete fools of themselves, they absolutely deliver.Thank you Frisky Cow for making our day as special as it was!“

“I tried the cheesecake flavored soft serve with mochi and the black tea with the chewy boba. If I'm being honest, looking at what I ate alone, it's not something I would go back for, especially considering the price. However, the short gal with glasses working there was chill about questions and super nice. Excellent staff are worth their weight in gold. I would go back to try different menu items. Oh and just so the owner knows, the bathroom door did not, in fact, lock once closed. I found out the hard way haha. I recommend a passcode-based entry lock and an additional manual lock.“

“(Please read entire review. Owner(s) made the situation right in the end)I ordered sorbet looking to try something different (first time here) and ordered 2 kiddies. Both myself and the person I went with took a few bites and didn’t like it so we were unable to finish it. However, what lead to my dissatisfaction is we both got sick from the sorbet and have very upset stomach’s just a half hour after eating it.EDIT: Our money was refunded the same night I originally posted this review without me having to call and ask. This leads me to believe that this occurrence is not normal and the owner(s) is an honest individual. I would absolutely do business with them again. The other customers appeared to be thoroughly enjoying their ice cream. And again, the customer service was excellent. I’m happy to see there are business owners who are still honest.“

“We've been enjoying Rick's for many years. Love that they're open all year and are open until 9pm. A lot of ice cream places in New England are only open for warm months. Seriously, we came after an ice storm and they were open normal hours. And they were super nice as usual!It's really great that they offer dairy-free soft serve and even a sugar free ice cream option!Vegetarian options: Vegan almond milk soft serve, multiple flavors, vegan toppingsDietary restrictions: Vegan dairy-free soft serve, sugar free ice cream“

“We were having lunch next door and decided to skip dessert so we could try cupcakes and ice cream at this place. We absolutely enjoyed the store. I had a gingerbread man cupcake which I truly enjoyed. My girlfriend had a blackberry ice cream which she enjoyed as well. The store had all different types of chocolates and candies. Definitely, give this place a shot, you will like it. Service was really good, the young lady was very helpful.“
