Front Porch Creamery 1011 Hanging Rock Park Road, Danbury, NC 27016

"My wife wanted to stop for ice cream. It was cold, I didn't understand why, but who am I to say no to the woman who loves me so much as she does. When she first asked me to try it, my response was no. But she said something that caught my attention. She said, "It's still hot." I've been eating ice cream all my life, and the one description I'd never once heard was, "it's hot." Now, my wife is from the Philippines, but still, this was an anomaly. Even for her. So I tried it. Surprise of all surprises. The cone was still warm, and they must have super frozen the ice cream because it was melting and running all over like one might expect. They even think to put it in a leak proof "cone" in case you take too long to eat it, which I can almost guarantee you won't. She had gotten a very unique flavor combination, velvet cone with cookies and cream. The warm crispy cone, the wafting scent red velvet cake, and the not to sweet, smooth, creamy, homemade to rival Stone Cold Creamery ice cream was simply put, the best ice cream experience I have ever had. It literally made a one hour drive to see so-so natural features on a so-so hike a so, so, very wonderful overall experience. The next visit I make to Hanging Rock State Park will be because I might as well go there while I am in the area to get an ice cream fix at the Front Porch Creamery."
