Ice Cream Shops near Folly Beach

“Menu seems to be a little limited in the off season. I visited in March 2024 and was hoping for the pink whip that’s posted in the review pictures and only the yellow pineapple whip (in a cup) was available. However it was super good - cold, sweet, light, and airy.Parking: It’s on the main road into town, so you probably aren’t going to find parking right in front, but ideally you’re parking elsewhere and making a whole day of Folly.“

“Came in later in the evening, so milkshakes weren't an option, but the ice cream (birthday cake) cone was delicious. The young lady at the counter was very nice and complimented my crazy t-shirt. There is a self-serve option by the pound that seemed to be working for other customers and candy options as well. It's a block from the beach, so beachfront prices, but i didn't mind supporting a local seasonal business. Parking will also be an issue, so unless you park on a nearby side street or get lucky with a curbside spot, you'll likely have to hoof it.“

“We are tourist this week. We're tagging along on my husband's work trip. My daughter wanted an iced coffee. We came across the shop in our morning adventuring. We ordered an iced coffee make with almond milk and vanilla syrup. She would not stop going on how good her drink was! Thanks for thr great coffee!“

“The best ice cream in Charleston!! We eat here once a week (at least) and it never misses. They constantly rotate the flavors so there’s always something new to try. Friendly staff and great vibes. Just be prepared to stand in lines, especially when the weather warms up.“

“Had to wait in a short line, but the owner let us know right away. I loved the transparency. It was a cool spot to hangout in and watch the nitrogen ice cream being made right in front of our eyes. The ice cream was to die for! I can’t wait to come back!“

“Sorbets + Cookies - Strawberry Lime Sorbet & Biscoff Almond Crunch were awesome and most popular.We came in November and it was very mellow, chill, no line and the young girl was nice & helpful.Dietary restrictions: Egg free, diary free, & gluten free options available.“

“I wish I knew about this place sooner! It's a fun place for a sweet treat after dinner on John's Island! Love how cute the interior was! There is some indoor and outdoor seating. It was delicious and they had tons of topping options. FYI: This is not a self-serve froyo place. You order at the counter and they make it for you! We ordered a medium and a small. They were both good serving sizes.“

“Jeni's Ice Cream is celebrated for its unique and innovative flavors, offering a delightful twist on traditional ice cream. Their commitment to quality ingredients and creative combinations results in a memorable taste experience. While generally adored for its distinct flavors, some patrons mention the pricing as a consideration. Nonetheless, Jeni's stands out as a premium choice for ice cream enthusiasts looking for an extraordinary treat.“

“Solid coffee at a reasonable price which was surprising given it is located in Charleston Place. The iced latte was smooth and creamy and very enjoyable. My wife enjoyed the iced americano which I noticed they topped off with bottled Fiji water (wow). Service can be a bit slow but it's to be expected when your coffee is well made.“

“Cutest sweets shop ever! Loved the ice cream we got (brownie chunk and banana pudding)! We came in close to closing time & were greeted and served with a smile! Would love to try the sweets in the display next time we visit! Would recommend 10/10!!“

“Other than DQ and Ryan's, I don't have any memories of soft-serve in Charleston. But the transplants rave about the places back where they're from, and it's hard not to feel like I missed out on something truly wonderful. Then Turbo Cone shows up and instantly fills that anemoia with their catchy name, retro branding and simple options. The entire experience is a vibe, and it's hard not to fall in love. My favorite, oddly enough, is just the swirl (chocolate and vanilla) in a waffle cone. The flavor and texture make it; it's nothing fancy or decadent, but it's such a treat. Our son dips his in something different every time, and loves that as much as I love my swirl cone. They've got something for everyone. Thanks to the owners for sharing a piece of their childhood with us. I get the soft-serve thing now, and I'm grateful I'm able to make similar childhood memories with our son.“

“This is one of the best places on the MUSC campus. This is operated by a husband and wife combo. Jose are Wendy are the best. They know all of their regulars on a first name basis, and its remarkable that they can remember everyone's names. This place is 10/10!“

“Great way to get a pick me up after dinner. Stopped in to get a couple double espresso shots ☕ to wake up for round two of the weekend. Conveniently located around the corner from the Fleet Landing before we hit King Street for a Charleston night out! ?“

“Stopped by this Costco while in the area just to stock up on alcohol for the holidays. Having the ABC store separate from the main store made it super quick and easy to pick up a bunch of libations at a reduced price. Great selection and we have found the Kirkland brand liquors of great quality. The spiced rum is surprisingly delicious and a great deal.“

“Walflin is a FANTASTIC addition to Downtown Charleston. Don't let the location deter you - it shares a shop with an antique store (maybe the same owner?) which is a little odd but I am so happy I tried it. The waffles are incredible and the staff always goes above and beyond. Everyone is so friendly and I can't say enough about the food - SO GOOD! Plus, the waffles are pretty easy to carry around, so no need to eat your dessert inside this antique shop if you don't want - take a stroll down market street while devouring this indulgent dessert!“

“My favorite when visiting Charleston! Lots of different flavors and a fun experience while you walk through the historic city. Sales person Damian explained all the different products very well. They also have ice cream for kids and give free water to homeless people! A great example of a successful veteran owned business.“

“Melissa and her team at Ye Ole did an awesome job tonight (3-21-24). I brought my 7th grade class to Charleston, and we ate dinner at Ye Ole Fashioned. They got us in and out with lightening speed and accuracy. The food and ice cream were delicious. If you visit Charleston, SC, head on over to Ye Ole Fashioned on Savanah Hwy.“

“What a gem nestled in the heart of downtown Charleston! This cute little ice cream sandwich shop is an absolute delight for anyone with a sweet tooth. The variety here is astounding! With close to 40 different flavor combinations, it makes it hard to choose. The employee working was incredibly friendly and gave us some of her recommendations, because we were a little overwhelmed. We ended up going with the Cookie Dough, which was vanilla ice cream, chocolate mouse and cookie dough chunks, sandwiched between 2 chocolate cookies. Would highly recommend!!“

“GREAT CHEAP COFFEE!SUPPORT NON PRICE GOUGING LOCAL!Walking down to the shop and grabbing their reasonably priced coffee in the morning has become an almost every day habit.The friendly staff makes it easy to start my day off on a pleasant note! Especially the older gentleman, who is seemingly in an eternal good mood! Keep up the good work!“

“Been wanting to go here since we moved here 3 years ago! Definitely did not disappoint! The cosmic dog was amazing and I loved the Sweet Potato mustard! Fries were hot and delicious and you can’t go wrong with a cold root beer! The staff was beyond friendly and service was quick! Will definitely be back! Also loved the Star Wars decor!“

“It’s a small and nice place, very cute and friendly service.I ordered 2 scopes of cappuccino chips ice cream in a waffle cone, and it was good—very sweet. I believe it was made based on cream. The waffle cone was also very tasty; I loved it.Perhaps I had hoped they would offer a wider variety of flavors beyond the traditional ones like vanilla, chocolate, cookies and cream, etc.It’s expensive, but the portion size was pretty big; I had to share with my husband and we both ended up super satisfied.“

“We were visiting from Georgia for my birthday with our little dog, we happen to pull up on this little place to get something cool to drink I went in and the owner was very friendly and it was a beautiful little spot with a lot of delightful treats the owner was very personable and kind and I got a strawberry shake and several cookies the strawberry shake was delicious and the cookies were soft and scrumptious when we come back to the Charleston South Carolina and Mount pleasant South Carolina area we will definitely be back!“

“This place was absolutely amazing!! The cashier, Rachel was amazing as well. She was so nice and insightful about the place. I had the cookies and cream gelato and it was so good, the macaroons were amazing as well. I will most definitely try this place again when I got back to “

“There's something truly special about the Baskin Robbins on Coleman Boulevard that sets it apart from any other ice cream shop. The cheerful atmosphere, delightful selection of flavors, and impeccably clean surroundings make every visit a joy.But the star of the show has to be their exceptional customer service, and for that, I have to give a shout-out to Kade. His knowledge of the menu and willingness to let customers sample flavors transformed my visit into a delightful adventure in ice cream tasting. He was not only accommodating but also brought a level of energy and enthusiasm that made the experience genuinely memorable.Kade, along with the rest of the staff, evidently takes pride in maintaining a welcoming and customer-friendly environment. It's clear that they all understand the value of superb service coupled with delicious ice cream.Overall, Baskin Robbins on Coleman Boulevard is a delightful destination for ice cream lovers, and Kade's exceptional service elevates it to an even higher level. I can't recommend this place enough!“

“We stopped in to get some ice cream while some other members of our party were on a carriage ride. We just so happened to catch tg fudge show and it was amazing!! At the end we received samples of some delicious fudge and had to bring some home. If you hear the bell be sure to check it out!“

“A fun sensory overload of a million colorful sugar selections! I went for the overpriced pralines and fell for the sales/marketing ploy - "buy one pound, get half pound free". Delicious - not as good as Aunt Sally's, and still overpriced, but good pralines are better than no pralines. And they were fresh!“

“I mean of course this place is great. Things I love: 1. Walking by and smelling the smells 2. Being able to watch them make stuff in real time like candied apples or fudge 3. Selection is phenomenal between choc covered Oreos, buckeyes, rice crispies, pretzels, etc Things I didn't love: 1. $$$$$$$$$ - pretty pricey but worth it (to a certain extent) 2. Service was meh but I think he was just shy! Bottom line is that you will likely find some sort of dessert to please anyone in your crowd!!“

“This place was such a nice surprise! I’m gluten and dairy intolerant and they had multiple options for me to chose from and they are actually super creamy and delicious! I had a mint chocolate and an espresso chocolate. My friend is a vegetarian and they have bunch of vegan options. She has had gelato often and said this place was rally good. They also gave me samples at the beginning. We are hoping to make it back again soon!“

“This is BEST ice cream place we have ever been too! The fact that all the ice cream and cones are gluten free, seed oil free, homemade and high quality sourcing won me over AND it’s the first time I’ve enjoyed ice cream without a bellyache. Also, the serving is very generous. It’s worth every penny!“
