Customer Reviews
ELLA took time to ask if I needed help amid a flurry of activity. The name Ice Cream do not do justice to the weekly rotating menu of wraps, soup, and salad and pre packaged items, marked vegan when appropriate. The place has a great fun vibe with bright colors. Friendly staff. I opted for hummus and veggies, and thanks for the veggie option instead of standard pita. Minestrone soup, the weekly puck was great. Of course how could I come here and not try the truly home made ice cream? I never heard of banana pudding chocolate chip and my palate was pleased with great ice cream. Accessible venue with medium weight door. Accessible tables with a view of historic Charleston area.
2 star are for location otherwise too expensive for the quality and quality of ice cream. I have had better ice cream than this. I took butter pecan and it had chunk of ice and did not feel like it was well churned. My standards for ice cream are high like Gernsey’s in Novi,Michigan. In comparison to them, they are just 1 stars in taste and quality. For this price, I get double quantity at any locally homemade icecream place. My suggestion is that they should take out the homemade label from their name tag.
We absolutely LOVE this place. Ice cream is to die for but the food they offer is also SO amazing. More selections for lunch than I expected. The salad was made perfect and so yummy. My fav ice cream is espresso Oreo. Atmosphere is top tier, staff is very kind, helpful, and friendly. I like that you can sample ice creams before sealing the deal. They make their own flavors so I love seeing and trying new ones from time to time.
I would give full marks for the ambiance. I've seen many ice cream shops, but this one is by far the most colorful, eye-catching, and cool looking shop. The girl at the counter was friendly and helpful. The ice cream itself was good. The texture was creamy with just the right amount of sweetness.
I brought both the boys’ and girls’ tennis teams from Wheeling Park High School to this ice cream shop, and the experience was excellent. Even with a large group arriving all at once, the staff stayed friendly, attentive, and efficient. The owner personally checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Despite the initial chaos, our orders were prepared quickly and correctly. We had a great time. Highly recommend!
