While there are a lot of exotic flavors, the quality of the base ice cream just isn't there. It's a big gummy.
In terms of the flavors, the coconut was nothing special, and the chocolate was also pretty mid. The lychee, however, was nice enough, as was the red bean. The black sesame, however, was gritty. The flavor was on the mark, but ice cream should not be gritty...
Pretty big portions for your ten and a half bucks, though.

A spacious place with plenty of outdoor seating in a nice environment. The prices are pretty reasonable and the menu large. I didn't love most of the food I tried (apart from the dinner rolls and skinny fries), but all of it was at least fine. The Caeser salad was pretty good, though, and the Dragon shrimp appetizer was pretty tasty - if I had to identify high points. But overall, it was only OK, not what I would call good.
My son asked me today whether "this place" (Bayberry) was a brewery (no), restaurant (no?), or bar (no?). I had no answer, really, and it was a fair question. My wife suggested "food hall", but that neglected the beer. We never did really answer that question well.
But I can tell you this; Bayberry Beer Hall offers lots of craft beer from New York and north, on draught and in cans, plenty of very nicely prepared sandwiches and entrees, and does so in a really cool space with both indoor and outdoor seating.
I liked my spicy fried chicken sandwich very much. The fries were also excellent and the pickles amazing. My wife loved her grass fed beef burger, and my son was very happy with chicken dumplings. The sourdough pretzel we started with might have been a bit plain, but the mustard spread (might have had butter in it?) really made it worthwhile in the end.
The beer selection was really impressive, and the bar staff seemed to know quite a bit about it. We had a few samplers and were much happier with the samples they picked for us than with the ones we chose ourselves.
What surprised me the most was Bayberry's ice cream. There were only three flavors offered, and we tried the Golden Milk (for my wife) and the Black Raspberry Chip (for me). I'm no fan of golden milk in general, with its tumeric and peppery flavor, but my wife loved it. My raspberry, though, was one of the best fruit flavored ice creams I've had, and I eat, and review, a lot of ice creams. It had white chocolate chips in it as well as what appeared to be dark chocolate shavings. Delicious.
Bayberry is only open from 4pm on during the week, though, which means lunch isn't an option, which is a shame, because I'd like to come back for another meal before we head south back home in a few days.
It's a great place and we'll visit again next time we're up this way.

Decent flavor, but not great value.
Like many reviews say, service is slow at this place. There just wasn't enough staff to handle the people sitting outside. We were taken care of well enough, though, since we were the only group sat inside. The lone waitress was working quite hard, but the waiter, while very friendly, was not keeping up with demand.
The food tasted good enough, but was not great. The portions were also small considering the price and relative lack of complexity in the dishes. Additionally, it appears as if the plates were plated with salad long ahead of time, as the greens and tomato seemed to show withering.
I probably would have rated it as a 2.5 star, if that were possible, but since it is not, it earns 2.
