Harts General Store and Creamery

This place is wonderful! Great ice cream. Good variety of coffee. Fresh baked cakes too! The shop is houses in a restored barn with several different places to sit and eat.
Also enjoyed watching the variety of farm animals and a few even came up and let me pet them.

The people are amazing, the store always smells incredible, gorgeous decor and layout of the store. So many handmade items from small businesses! The mini zoo is an awesome contribution, as well as their Harts truck!

Such an awesome old timey local store. They have yummy ice cream & desserts. This is a great place to bring your children for more than just sweets. They rescue animals and have their own sanctuary for customers to visit, feed the animals etc. Great place to make a day trip to with the kids especially in the summer. Highly recommend!

Always enjoy getting ice cream and desserts here. We usually go a few times per month. The owners and staff are always very friendly, and helpful. As for me and my family and friends, we all enjoy spending a couple of hours here just hanging out, eating ice cream, watching the animals, and catching up, spending time together.

Cute spot, over priced ice cream toppings 1.00 for each toppings is high, example 1.00 for 2 cherries is outrageous. Offering "special" cobblers that they do not have.... felt like a random barn with ice cream inside....I love supporting local businesses but don't try and make a killing off your supporters.... I would also recommend to bringing cash as they charge an additional 4% fee for using debt or credit. The ladies behind the counter were nice but seemed annoyed that someone walked in...

This place is awesome! They make the best oatmeal pies I've personally ever had, and my wife enjoyed the pumpkin. Actually, all the treats were fantastic! This is such a wonderful place where you can see beautiful animals like goats, donkeys, turkeys, and a beautiful horse named "Glory," that they saved from being put down. The staff was wonderful and the ice cream and milkshakes were the best around. We live in Hiddenite but the drive was well worth it! Hart's General Store and Creamery will definitely put a smile on your face.

A Cute little place. I would suggest to add some items to sell. Not to much there, a few earrings. Its not a store really. I guess a Coffee & ice cream spot. They have ice cream & popcorn . If your seeing The Our State add make sure you visit the town of Lenoir for more than just here. Only saying that because it's a long drive from some places. Overall a cute stop if your in town for a visit.

Clean and fresh environment. Homemade ice cream, sundae, smoothies, and shaved ice cream. Handful for toppings! Seating both indoors and out doors. Farm animals outside for children to enjoy. Book swapping , take 1 book and return another. Family owned and operated.

I’ve been wanting to come here for so long, and my fiancé and I finally went and I must say we’ll definitely be back! They had so many sweet options to choose from it was so hard to make a decision! And the cute rescued animals are another sight to see, I inside the building was a cute Zebu named Yoda. I can’t wait to come back!!

Best ice cream.. Also fresh baked cakes. Visited from FL. Will be back next trip.
