Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Ice cream was tasty. Espresso chip was awesome. My daughter had the Cookie Monster ice cream which had cookie dough in it and she liked it. Will be back again."
"Superb homemade ice cream. Well worth any drive, sited on a corner of picturesque downtown Salisbury with free parking. Intriguing gourmet flavors plus delicious standards."
"Such a cute, fun little place. Both the sandwiches and the ice cream were great! I enjoyed the Spanky's special on pumpernickel. My son enjoyed the Chicken Supreme. For dessert, I really enjoyed a double of Espresso and Butter Pecan. My 4 year old granddaughter loved the Black Cherry. "I love the cherries!" Very pleased! We'll be back next time we come back down to the NC Transportation Museum!"
"We stopped in here, while in town, for some dessert. I got a chocolate milkshake and my husband got a cheerwine float. Both were good. Worker knew just exactly how much ice cream she could fit in his float without it spilling over."
"My husband and I enjoyed our lunches there today... The food was great and the place was quite relaxing after a walk through town. When I asked the young lady a question about the town, since I live out of town, she was very helpful. We was greet and thanks for our business."
"This place is a gem! We really enjoyed strolling through downtown, grabbing ice cream from Spanky's, and stopping by the park. They offer an excellent variety of flavors, convenient parking right out front, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. We loved it so much we went twice this week—once with my kids and again with my sister and her family. The ice cream was absolutely delicious, and the toppings were a fun bonus for the kids. You can enjoy indoor seating or take your treats along for a walk through the charming downtown area."
"Great local place for homemade icecream. Whole family loved it. Reminded us of Helado Bon back in DR. Try the coconut chocolate chip or bday cake."
"Just moved to Salisbury from Tampa, FL and we decided to try this ice cream spot. The ice cream and milkshakes are hands down perfect and delicious. They make all their ice cream on site and have unusual, exotic flavors unlike anywhere else. I had Cardamon Fig ice cream and loved it! My husband had an espresso ice cream milkshake with caramel and I couldn't stop drinking from it. Expect it to be a bit hectic if they are busy since it's a bit tight inside with people standing and sitting near the line. But we've had very good and attentive service every time."
