The blueberry sauce is great, and the blueberries themselves are some of the sweetest we’ve had. They were some of the best blueberries we’ve had, and we plan on going back some time this week to pick some. It’s on the honor system, so you grab a bucket, pick what you want, weigh it, and leave the money in the box. There’s no spraying here, so you can eat them right off the bushes! I recommend this place to everyone!!!!

By the way, the soft serve stand is open 6:30-9:30 Monday-Friday and 4-9:30 Saturday and Sunday. It’s $1.75 for a small (it’s not small at all!) and $2.25 for a large (we didn’t even dare try a large!) and 25 cents per topping. It’s a great deal, and great food!

i got vanilla with blueberries and at the urging of the man in the stand, the homemade blueberry syrup! i was skeptical about the syrup since my experience with fruit syrups is mostly based on store-bought strawberry syrup which tastes like cough medicine but boy-o was that syrup amazing. since i wanted a cone, he made a little well inside the ice cream for the blueberries and syrup and even covered it up with a little extra dollop of ice cream. it was great!

unfortunately my ice cream partner requested chocolate and caramel syrup and the same well technology didn’t work so…well. in short, the sides of the well were not structurally sound enough to contain a chocolate/caramel magma center and when a leak was sprung, there was no going back. he ended up with hands covered in caramel and chocolate.

but we’re going to go back sometime soon and think more carefully about our toppings! btw, i was surprised at how many people stopped by. by the time we were leaving, a line of around ten people had formed! so uh good job carpe durham

On a related topic, has anyone been to Penguins Sno Kones on Hwy 401 in Raleigh or Garner? I read about this on chownound where it (and Hills of Snow in Smithfield) were highly recommended.
