30 Best Ice Cream Shops near Surfside Beach

“Such a great summer night spot! When we got there it had what looked to be a long line that moved surprisingly fast (10-12 minutes)! The cashier was so friendly and calm. Lots of workers and tables to sit at (indoor and outdoor seating). It’s not in the nicest area of Myrtle Beach and off of a main road but it is around other tourist locations, so it was pretty safe! Yummy ice cream?“

“Thursday is "half-off banana split" day. The line to the counter was out the door and for good reason. The ice cream was fantastic and the guy creating them was busting his butt serving his customers. This place definitely is a must stop place ( that is if you can find a place to park next Thursday).“

“Came with family to get ice cream on a spring day - not that crowded when we arrived (just before traditional dinner time), but glad we made the stop. Excellent homemade ice cream, a large variety of flavors (not just all riffs on chocolate and caramel) and many ways to eat. They even have dairy-free flavors and use separate scoops to maintain the allergen boundary.Table seating inside and out with some benches up front facing the road. The staff was very friendly and courteous, patient with the smaller children with us. Overall, the place was very clean and had a great beach vibe to it.Excellent service and delicious ice cream!Dietary restrictions: They do have non-dairy options and are very careful about cross-contamination for those with allergies.“

“A nice after dinner dessert treat place! We were on our way back to the hotel and had a bit of a sweet tooth. This shop caught our eye. Seems like a local shop. Family owned maybe even.A lot of options. Ice cream, boba tea, frozen yogurt, etc. Any kind of flavor and topping to choose from. Mix and match almost anything as well! Great, kind staff who were more than happy to help. Nice seating inside too. Ice cream tasted amazing and toppings were definitely worth the addition.“

“Went there after dinner while visiting my sons who live down in Myrtle Beach. This place is there go to place for ice cream, I had pralines and cream in a waffle cone and it didn’t disappoint!Parking: Plenty of parking along side the building“

“This was 100% a fun experience! The food is insane and feels like it was taken out of a kids TV show—it was definitely good, full of sugar, and hilarious watching it come to the table and saying “This is huge!”The wait was not long at all. We came during a rush shortly after opening and were seated within 10 minutes. The only issue was the space given to customers who had to wait. There was limited seating, and those who had to stand were constantly in the way of entrances/exits or waiters moving about.If you order a regular size Crazy Mason, you get to keep the cup. The wash station was crowded because there was only two sinks available and it was a little bit difficult to get the cup fully clean in a fast manner.Despite that, this is a nice memory of the family to keep and look back on. Expect to spend around $16 per person, be in and out within 30-45 minutes, and ready to take a sugar nap! We ordered a s’mores mason, a cookie dream mason, a banana split mason, and an acai bowl—everyone loved them.“

“This store is always pleasant to walk into. The service has been nothing but great. I did do the curb side pick up and that worked wonderfully since I had a truck full of worn out softball girls. They loved it.Parking: Easily accessible“

“Best ice cream in town and possibly anywhere! If you are in Myrtle Beach or coming to Myrtle Beach you must try one of their locations! I wish I would have taken photos of the ice cream but I enjoy it too much to take a picture. Tell them "Tim sent you", it won't get you a discount but it will give you a smile of confusion.“

“Their non-dairy ice cream is awesome! I tried 2 flavors and loved loved loved them! My new ice cream store! Those with me had regular ice cream in a variety of flavors and loved them! The girls behind the counter were helpful and friendly.“

“Freshhhhh HOT funnel cake with powdered sugar.. YUM? Oh, but choose 2 scoops of ice cream as a topper. The heat from the funnel cake will soften the ice cream to perfection! Believe me!! It's hot & cold, gooey soft, but still crisp, sweet, & sticky DELICIOUS!! ??? It's worth every penny!“

“My family and I went to Spencer’s after the good reviews we read. There were no other customers at the time. The girl working there was really nice, but the ice machine needed to be updated. It took her 30 minutes to make enough snow for 4 snow cones. You will be waiting a while!!“

“I stopped by this morning very early, I waited for them to open because I’d been wanting to try them out for a while. I live a couple minutes away and I’ve tried every single boba/milk tea place in the area including in restaurants and Asian grocery stores. This is the best by far!!!! I’ve gone to Wilmington and Charleston for good milk tea before and I’m so happy that there’s finally a good place right near my house so I can go often! I got the oolong milk tea with brown sugar jelly and I was happy to be able to taste the tea!“

“WONDERFUL! I went here with my 2 year old daughter Mackynsleigh-Grace and she loved it. The workers were EXTRODINARY. After 27 minutes of thinking of what flavor she wanted, she settled on the pistachio icecream. The worker had nothing but patience for my little Mackynsleigh-Grace. She does have a lactose problem, but she said it was worth it! Love this place. GO NOW!“

“This place was amazing! Mind blowing milkshakes- delicious & easy on the eyes ?Expect a sugar buzz… ?Most importantly though, we have a son that has a dairy allergy and they had vegan milkshakes for him too. The server answered all my questions and assured me he would be safe consuming the shake! No cross contamination worries THANK YOU! This is a BIG deal for us!“

“Such a cute little ice cream shop! The worker that helped us was super sweet and patient as we tried different flavors. Chocolate toasted coconut and salted caramel were terrific. Definitely stop here for ice cream when you are visiting Broadway on the Beach!! A“

The kids menu had a lot of options, and all of our meals included sundaes! Prices were very reasonable compared to other places we have been on this trip. We will definitely be back!“

“This is truly by far the best frozen yogurt restaurant I’ve ever been to. They have the best frozen yogurt. The different flavors all taste delicious. My three year old son won’t eat ice cream but, he will eat the strawberry frozen yogurt here. We drive by and he ask me for Froyoz. Our family comes here at least once sometimes twice a week. The atmosphere is so wonderful! The staff and owners are always so nice and helpful! The place is squeaky clean. The yogurt machines are clean and well maintained. The toppings bar is full and clean. The tables, floors and bathrooms are clean. They keep music playing. They have little games on the tables for children and families to play with. They have perfected frozen yogurt and the created a very special experience for their customers. You can tell they take pride in their business. Definitely go if you get the chance you won’t be disappointed!!“

“This is absolutely the best in food, customer service and overall experience.I asked Dwayne to host our child's birthday party pretty last minute less than 2 weeks out) and he was quick to respond and incredibly flexible with us. I messaged about 8 other vendors and 2 others responded but one wasn't the right fit, the other one responded 2 weeks later (lol). We kept in communication throughout the week, narrowed down on a menu and structure and met him two days before to figure out the best way to serve our guests.The day comes and everyone was blown away. The food- PHENOMENAL. DID NOT DISAPPOINT.THE SERVICE - PHENOMENAL! Everyone LOVED his food and I had multiple people get his card for their next event. If you're looking to step your parties up a notch, look no further!“

“Ran into this place on ACCIDENT - because another spot was closed on Monday - I’m obsessed bro - not only do the boba tapioca pearls have the perfect amount of bite (not too soft not too hard) but the brown sugar milk tea was spot on and you actually get a great amount in the MED or LG size which range I think $4.29 to $6.29? Either way they also had hot steamed buns in pork, bbq chicken, taro and a meat substitute kind of like impossible love this place so much I might sleep here - this is ALSO inside an amazing Asian market that has a lot of Latin products as well and bulk rice (up to 50lb bags) and there’s a cute place to sit and enjoy your drink and bun right outsideVegetarian options: So many vegetarian options here“

“The absolute best I have ever had. Refreshing, Homemade and delicious. The Black raspberry was addicting. I brought it by accident, but now my favorite. Met owners at their store, fine , friendly family people. What a hidden gem. I can’t wait to get more!“

“My grand children love the ice cream. They always want more of the ice cream. This is always the best way to go when you are looking for the best ice cream truck. This is my favorite ice cream ever. 1 place I will always go to when it comes to an ice cream truck.“

“I’ve stayed at Myrtle Beach for five days, and I went here to try a new flavor every day. Staff were always friendly and helpful. There’s drinks there as well, plus different ice creams and toppings. It’s located right on the boardwalk so I could get ice cream and then eat it by the ocean, very relaxing. My absolute favorite flavor was cake batter, just try it and you won’t be disappointed. It’s heaven. When I come back here, I will always come to this spot.“

“Clean store but could use more than 2 small tables and 4 chairs. Counter girl didn’t seem very pleasant but it was early and maybe she was just having a bad day. Or she could be like me… not a smiler. No harm no foul. I hate when ppl tell me to smile. Ice cream was good. I can’t find my NY Super Fudge Chunk anywhere in NE Phila anymore.“

“Awsome ladies they are very nice and quick with getting our ice cream! And since we came there everyday she would once in a while give us free ice cream. Absolutely great place to eat oce cream at! Oh yea tried the rolled ice cream its amazing!!!“

“After dinner, we decided to swing by this location for some ice cream and fudge. It’s a really neat store with plenty of selection to choose from. The cashier, Scott, was polite and friendly. Our entire experience here was very good and we will more than likely be back towards the end of the week!“

“Sugar is the word. They do have sugar free options. Lots of collectibles to go along with the candy and ice cream. The variety is second to none. The employees were very friendly and informative. If you looking for candy you can't find elsewhere, stop here.Dietary restrictions: They do have Sugar-free options.Parking: Plenty of spaces.“

“It's the ribs. Order the ribs on whatever entree they are offered. They were good enough I came back the next day to get them again. I would love it if they sold a big bucket of ribs. Gimme 2. This is not a fancy place. Well away from the hustle and bustle of touristy Myrtle Beach in a strip mall. Simple decor and seating. Their market is locals and I was glad I ventured away from the tourist crowd. Did I mention their ribs? Get you some. Service was very good. Attentive and helpful for this gringo seeking assistance with the menu. Left extra in the tip for suggesting the ribs. Plenty of parking.“

““Recently, while wandering the lively main strip of Myrtle Beach, we stumbled upon an inviting dessert haven called Paradise Creamery. Deciding to give it a try, we opted for their frosty pineapple, and it was a revelation! The dessert exceeded all expectations with its perfect balance of creamy texture and refreshing pineapple flavor, making every bite an indulgent treat. It was clear that the frosty pineapple was not just a dessert but an experience, offering great value for the price. For those looking for a memorable treat in Myrtle Beach, Paradise Creamery’s frosty pineapple is a must-try. It’s not just food; it’s a taste of paradise!”“
