Love this place! The ice cream is homemade and the vibe is so retro. I like that their ice cream is not too sweet, as a lot of places make theirs overly sweet.
Both times I’ve been there, I’ve gotten the peach ice cream. My wife this second time got the strawberry. My daughter tasted both of ours and she really liked it too.
Located in a nice area and the outdoor seating is great.

The hotdog was good and the ice cream was REALLY good! I paid for everything at once, but the guy who took my order was really nice and offered me the choice to bring the paper with my ice cream order on it after I had eaten my hotdog to avoid it melting. I accepted, especially with having ordered a cone. It could have gotten messy quickly. I really appreciate his consideration. He seemed to be enjoying his work, as well.
The only downside was the middle-aged woman with straight hair and glasses. After I had eaten my hotdog, I got back in line to bring the paper with my ice cream order on it. There were about half a dozen people in line, so it wasn’t too long of a wait. Once I got to the front of the line, and I had given her my order, this woman said with the ugliest of tones, “Just leave that on the counter. Don’t get back in line.” I had already handed it over, so there was no need for her to even say that, much less with the amount of hatefulness in her tone. The customer beside was shocked, too, and looked at her with open disapproval. In all honesty, she had been giving me stank-eye from the second I walked into the restaurant. I was wearing an off-the-shoulder sundress, and I have multiple pieces of jewelry on my face. I had been getting hateful glares from older women all day, including some in the restaurant both times I was in line, so it isn’t too far-fetched to say the same about her. Whatever her reason, her customer service needs some serious improvement. She doesn’t have to “approve” my style or confidence, nor does anyone else, but she needs to be respectful if she is to work in customer service. It reflects poorly on the business, which I don’t get to go to as often as I like, living as far away as I do. They deserve employees as good as their ice cream!

The ice cream here is the best in the area! Unique flavors that most ice cream joints don’t offer and they do them exceptionally well. Service is friendly and speedy. Definitely a no frills establishment with very reasonable prices.

I laughed at 1star reviews. Occasionally, you get somebody is having a bad day at any restaurant or retail location. For the majority of the time I’ve ever been here since I was 20 which is 19 years since my first time the staff has been absolutely incredible and the ice cream is the best in town.
Let me tell you one thing about a few of the staffers especially a lady named Phyllis. Start off Phyllis was incredibly nice incredibly helpful knew her ice cream selection to a T.
After introducing myself, she called me by my first name to hand me a sample of the chocolate almond ice cream. It was absolute fire.
People like her or what make me drive an hour to simply get a scoop of ice cream.
The rest of the staff was extremely nice. The fan that’s pumping out that amazing hotdog and onion smell is nostalgic.
I continue to give this place a 10 out of 10.

Old school atmosphere, put you in the 80’s mood. The hotdogs are supreme, reminds me of my childhood in the 70’s and 80’s. I will definitely come back here when I’m in Greensboro. The young people working in there have great customer service skills.

Cute lil ice parlor. Ice cream options were acceptable as well as the flavors. Not many non dairy options to choose from. We got the mango and it was pre good. And rather expensive! Like $7 for a scoop ……. It was a post date treat so I didn’t pay for it
But I was kinda bothered because we could have gotten an entire pint from any of the nearby premium grocery stores

I stopped by Yum Yum today for the first time after hearing several of my coworkers mention it. The food was very good, and the service was pleasant and attentive. I tried the black cherry and really enjoyed it. I’d definitely return just for that. Everything was really good but half the lobby was closed for some reason.

The best hot dog place around- you can’t tell me otherwise! We visit every week. The staff, hot dogs, and ice cream are simply amazing. The picnic tables they added to the right of the building are an added bonus, especially in the summertime. They also take cards now. Yum Yums has the best, most nostalgic smell. I walk by the fan on the side of the building and it takes me right back to being 5 years old, getting hot dogs with my grandparents. Many generations of our family love Yum Yums.
P.S. please bring back the lime flavor. It’s my favorite!

I.C.O.N of not only Greensboro, not only the Triad, but all of N.C.!!! 4 generations of both sides of my family have made this place a regular restaurant visit. Never disappoints and just keeps on keeping on. ❤️ Yum Yum’s!! Get yourself 2 dogs ATW, a glass bottle cheerwine, and a milkshake. If you do you will be back.

The cookies & cream ice cream here is top notch! Hotdogs & chips are good too. Prices are very reasonable. The place is more than 100 years old do has well decorated memorabilia from past decades.
