Harts General Store and Creamery

Stopped in for ice cream. Discovered an eclectic delight. They had a real cowboy lasso!
My 13-year--old was surprised and delighted to get it for Christmas. He didn't know he needed a lasso until he saw it.
I got my mother a coffee mug made by a local potter with the silhouette of Hibriten Mountain on it. I had a great little moment when I realized I was purchasing it in the shadow of the mountain, itself.
A fun stop. And the pumpkin ice cream was very good.

Wonderful place, a gem outside the metropolis of Lenoir. Great coffee and creamery. Next time have a cobbler ready.......lol.

Not a whole lot there yet, looking forward to going back when they get their full amount of merchandise. The animals were entertaining even on a really cold day. We did get some delicious homemade chai and hot chocolate.
I imagine it will be "the place" to be on hot summer days.

Had driven past many times and wanted to stop but didnt. Today I stopped and had a strawberry milk shake. It was great. Great place to stop for ice cream, coffee, or milk shakes, sherberts and sorbets.

Nice place on way into Lenoir on Hwy 64. Great ice cream, nice gift shop. Petting zoo and picnic area with play area for kids. Great staff!

Very cute and lovely place. Wide variety of ice cream, shakes, coffee and such. Got to feed the animals cookies they homemade. Nice little stop.

It's heartwarming to see these rural highway mom & pop shops coming back into vogue, and with quality products to boot. I had some of the most delicious icecream ever (blackberry cobbler flavored) and a coffee. The coffee was a little too watery for my liking, but that could have also been a bad batch of the brew.
Minor gripe: Got a slice of coconut cake to go that was sort of plopped in a styrofoam box that it didn't fit in. I'm all for generous portions, but the box popped open frequently while driving since the cake was sort of stuffed inside.
I'm sure any of the detractors I experienced were a result of my coming in at an odd time during the week. Other than that, it's a terrific place to be. I could sit there and savor sweet treats for hours while smelling the old barn wood.

Ice cream was great, kinda pricey, but good!! The thing that made me never come back was a blonde girl with such a bad attitude towards me and my family!! No smile, not even talking, we said thank you and she gave us the worst look! We were confused on where to order and we asked her if we could order and she gave us the worst look and said “uh yea”! Horrible attitude when I have been so excited to come here!

I absolutely 100% recommend this place especially if your wanting a calm and easy place to mellow out and simply to just relax and the ice cream was absolutely superb!

This is a cute hidden gem in Caldwell County that has some of the "Best" home-made desserts 🍪 🍰 🍨🍦 and dairy made ice cream. Everyone is super helpful and gives free samples which is a plus considering ALL the flavors they offer. Amazing !!! Open odd hours so be sure to call before you drive over there.
