We could list all the restaurants in Cary. But, instead, we’d rather focus on our favorite local establishments – restaurants, stores and businesses of all sorts. We call it GoLocal. You’ll see a lot more posts coming up about local merchants who deserve your support.

Our first Go Local feature is about Goodberry’s. If you’re a newcomer (or have been living under a rock), Goodberry’s is a home grown frozen custard chain. It has eight locations in the Triangle. Two are in Cary (one at Davis & High House, the other on Kildare Farm Rd. near Wrenn Drive).

What’s so great about Goodberry’s?

• Freshness – the frozen custard is made in the store daily. It’s fresh, creamy and delicious.
• Variety – every day features a different flavor. Today is Pina Colada. Tomorrow is Hazelnut. Wednesday is Butter Pecan. Here’s this month’s schedule of flavors. They also have all the usual flavors plus blend-ins, concrete, sundaes and other fine treats.
• Atmosphere – Always clean, friendly and appealing. The Goodberry’s in Cary have walk-up windows and outdoor seating. The store on Davis & High House is especially appealing.
• Price – Cones and cups are cheap. Fancy concoctions can cost over $5.

A summer evening has got to be the best time to enjoy Goodberry’s. It’s great to sit outside and watch the sunset while your kids try to lick around the cone before it drips on their hands. Heaven.

What’s your favorite Go Local place in town?
