Ice Cream Shops near James Island

“The fries were soggy and a little over salted midway through. The hot dog looked a little dark. The burger was a regular double cheeseburger with mayonnaise and pickles. The whole meal was lukewarm, but I didn't bother reheating anything because I didn't want to loose any of the flavor that was there. I didn't know lukewarm food could retain so much of it's original flavor but this meal did despite being delivered.“

“Cute little family-run place with a great selection of kid and grown-up palate friendly treats. Can't wait to go back and try their gluten free cake. If you are en route to IOP, or just hanging out in Mt Pleasant near the target shopping center, make sure you stop by and try them out! Businesses like this are what make Mt Pleasant a great place to live and play.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Crazy Mason is such an incredible dessert spot and experience. The service, atmosphere, and ice cream makes us feel like we are on vacation! What a treat! Whenever we have out of town guests, Crazy Mason is always our go to spot for dessert.“

“The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars is because I was a frequent customer and their food was always hot, delicious, and fresh!!! I am also giving it 4 stars because the owner fully refunded me after I didn’t receive my food and he/she clearly knows how to treat people who patron his restaurant. I was a little early for pickup, so I understood that my food wasn’t ready. But there have been times where I have done the same and it was, so I didn’t think anything of it. The manager at this location told me that I would need to go through Chow Now who I originally ordered through. Ok, understandable. AFTER I left and contacted Chow Now, they called and she told them she will only be issuing me a partial refund because my fries were ready and not my sandwich. She failed to tell me this in person, “because she’s not gonna sit up here and argue”. Yet proceeded to just that almost blowing out my ear drum out with all her yapping like a rabid dog! The fact is, she knew exactly what she was doing. In fact, the other young lady at the counter told me they were just starting on my order, so of course I’m going to think nothing was ready! I didn’t make a fuss, nor was I angry because it wasn’t their fault that I was early. I just simply asked for a refund. After finding out that her intentions was to never fully refund me. I called up there and spoke with her in what started out as a calm conversation. She then got EXTREMELY rude, raising her voice, and started yelling and over talking me. Very nasty! Worst customer service I have literally EVER received and as someone who has been in customer service for years, this experience was mind blowing. I live far from this location but I come here for work and planned on bringing my kids here to enjoy food and ice cream one Saturday because it’s seriously one of the best locations quality wise and because our location closed down. But it’s safe to say I won’t be a returning customer. I don’t do well with nasty and mean managers who talk to people like they don’t care if they receive their business. Good luck to that lady, because one day she will talk to the wrong person like that! Thank goodness I have changed, I almost drove back up there and asked her to speak to me just like she did over the phone but she isn’t worth it and never will be. I hope whatever she brought on her shoulders to work with her today, gets better! Because she’s usually really sweet, I don’t even have to ask for condiments because she’ll make sure they are in my bag. Sad. Thank you to the owner for refunding me fully. And to the General Manager for taking care of this on my behalf. Blessings.“

“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!!“

“Came in hungry, left a happy, full belly, satisfied fat man. Had a double cheeseburger and fries and the lady had the onion rings. Split the meal and we were stuffed! The bread was soft and the cheese melted on the burger patties so well. The pickles and onions were crispy and crunchy. The fries were fantastic and salty, and if they need more salt they have shakers and napkins at every table. Service was warm and welcoming. Food came out in a timely manner. Honestly it was a great experience. Came back a day later to try the icecream and it was the same wonderful and quality experience as the first. 10/10. Love this location.“

“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! ?“

“Staff: The staff was working hard. There were around 20 people on the tote and they were some ice cream chuckin mofo.Building: The building is spacious and very well taken care of.Food: the ice cream was delicious. Seeing it come out of deep freeze was weird, but it was amazing. I had the blueberry cheesecake.Speed: for being busy, two dudes got shakes and coups out fast.Parking: Parking is on the street and can be hard to find.Star rating: 5 because of the price and dudes working the counter were getting ice cream out.I have no problem coming back here every chance I get.If this review helped, please hit the thumbs up and give me a follow.Parking: Parking can be hard to find.Kid-friendliness: Yes, take your kids. They deserve it, and because of them, and their attitudes, you deserve it.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs can get in and 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!“

“I’ve travelled a lot! And this place has to be top 5 for ice cream. It melted fast which is a GREAT sign of quality ice cream. So soft, mixins were so good, and the amount of ice cream you got for a regular serving was more than enough. The employees here are as great as their ice cream. Highly recommend if your in the “

“Delicious!!! I'm still thinking about the pork roll and cheese bagel that was the perfect size and flavors. I loved the iced chai latte with oat milk that accompanied my breakfast so well. The price was pretty good and the restaurant was very cute. I'd definitely come back!!“

“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!“
