20 Best Ice Cream Shops near Calabash

“Oh my ice cream!This place is great. A little $$ for ice cream. But it is good. There is one server who is very stingy with her scoops and doesn’t want to seem to want be there scoping your ice cream at all. The rest are very pleasant and do great.“

“cute shop! good ice cream and fun flavors. definitely recommend the honey lavender. also tried the salted caramel brownie (very good) and dairy-free ube (tasted like coconut but still very good). if you’re in myrtle, would def recommend stopping by!Dietary restrictions: there were some dairy-free options“

“We went this evening and had an amazing experience! The staff working were so sweet with my 4 year old son! He talked Morgan's ear off and she never missed a beat with him. The candy store above was an amazing plus too. To top it off the Italian ice was amazing!“

“Love the wonderful ice cream , great service s a smile and clean environment! Our favorite !“

“I can't visit Sunset Beach without stopping at Sunset Slush! My husband jokes that I need to branch out more because my go-to is the Rainbow USA Gelati. The other flavors are also tasty, but that's my hands down favorite flavor that I always go back to. The shop can get busy in summer, but is on my list of "must visit" places whenever I am in town! Plus they have an inside section with candy! My tip for other visitors is to get the reusable koozie cup. It keeps it cold longer (melts so much quicker when you use the disposable cup) and refills are a bit cheaper! Plus the inner cup can go in the dishwasher! It's worth it.“

“Recently discovered spilt milk after searching online for local donuts and so glad we did! They are delicious! Their blueberry donut is my favorite but they have so many options! We also tried one of their signature coffees and it was amazing too. I’m sure they stay busy during the tourist season and their donuts probably get gone fast but well worth the wait In my opinion!“

“Update: this review was originally written a couple years ago and since writing, many things have changed. They now do offer allergy free ice cream and no longer have the deer park water. The owner also reached out personally to me and said that she works every day to ensure they don't have the bad customer service. Based on her personal reply, I have no reason to doubt this. We went in here this evening and we have two with a milk allergy. Most places like this would have at least one flavor of dairy free ice cream. Or even a smoothie at best. No! Instead they had 2 snotty women who looked at us like we were crazy to ask of such a thing! One of the people with the milk allergy is not only allergic to milk but also is only 6 with developmental delays (is just learning to talk and can't eat any solids) so doesn't fully understand why everyone else is able to have a treat right in front of him and he doesn't get anything. When I went back in to ask about maybe a smoothie, they were snotty again with their snapping "no" back to me. The least they could've done is acted like they cared and said "no, sorry" rather than being snotty. I decided later on that I wanted something to be able to wash the mediocre-at-best-ice cream down, so went back in for a water. They charge $1.08 for some cheep deer park water. They can't even get the good Dasani or Aquafina. And on top of that, they are charging so much for the water! Reply to owner: This is most definitely the correct location. We went in July and I had written this but forgot to hit post until now“

“Stopped by Rita's for the second time yesterday. I love Rita's! Every italian ice has so much delicious flavor, but anything cherry flavored is my favorite. I got Zombie's Blood and loved it. Beware of red teeth and tongue after eating it, lol!! I am so excited that this one opened in North Myrtle Beach. I live in Conway, but will definitely stop in for an italian ice every time I am in that area.“

“We went on Saturday March 9th soon after they opened and although there was not a line we must have just missed the crowd placing an order. There were only 2 people working but they were killing it, doing a great job and everything they pushed out while I waited looked great! We ordered the Sweet Cheesus and the Lil Less Crazy Mint Brownie they were both GREAT! Service was great, food was great I just wish we would have sat in a different area other then that this was a great experience!“

“This is by far the best Italian ice/ices that I have ever had and I have been all over. It's better than Rita's and Ralph's combined. Their flavors were creative, delicious and refreshing. I highly recommend their flavor blue vanilla. Definitely going to be a regular customer in future ??????????“

“This is hands down my favorite ice cream (well technically custard) joint. The custard is creamy and has great flavor and they have a good number of options on how to serve it: cups, cones, mix-ins, etc. They'll be seeing a lot of me in the future :-)“

“Hot chocolate with caramel and French vanilla was excellent! Strawberry bomb smoothie (Smoothie with boba) was delicious. Service was very friendly and accommodating regarding drinks. Prices are reasonable. Great place to visit while at Sunset Beach!“

“OMGOODNESS we are originally from Philly and grew up on “Wooder Ice” So this makes us experts? this stuff should be illegal !!! Went 4 nights instead of ice cream shop up the street with lines around the block. If you are at all lactose intolerant this dessert is for you. You swear you are eating ice cream. The assortments of flavors makes it hard to choose but they will mix all the flavors you want giving you a taste before you buy. The owners running it are as Sweet as their products! This was a huge hit for the whole family of 6. Out of this world experience... move over Philly Carolina Quench has just moved in!!! Taking some home !“

“They are wonderful about accommodating allergies. My son has peanut, tree nut, and coconut allergies, and they have a chart readily available listing what items contain what allergens so he could choose something nut-free. They were so patient with him and opened up a fresh container of ice cream and a new pack of cones to ensure there was no cross-contamination. I can’t tell you how much this means to me as a parent with a child who has allergies and is constantly left out of things like cake and ice cream. Thank you so much for taking the time to accommodate him! I appreciate it SO much!“

“Absolutely loved Duck Donuts! After a refreshing North Myrtle Beach vacation, indulging in their excellent donuts and coffee was the perfect way to start the day. Highly recommend!Parking: No issue finding a spot on a Saturday morningKid-friendliness: Donuts +kids = perfect combo“

“Been coming here for years when my family and I come to Myrtle beach. Always a great time with great treats. Super comforting to know the owners have remained the same. Also are always in such high spirits serving their customers with the greatest smiles and service. The prices are great but the ice cream is even greater. Thank you Mr. G's for always being one of my families favorite stops. You guys rock!!!Kid-friendliness: Super kind to families and children. kids always end up getting a toy or pick from a prize bucket.Wheelchair accessibility: Super accessible and many places to sit and enjoy the beach. Also just a 2 minute walk to the beach public access point.“

“Always great ice cream here, although the staff could use a little customer service training. Granted they are really summer hires and how much investment do you put into that, nonetheless you're interacting with people all afternoon and evening and they just need to soften their edge a little bit and tone down the obstinance and turn up the smile and gracious host in them. This is not any one off either, it is a consistent pattern I've noticed over 8 years. Nothing bad or egregious, but just an edge and a little bit of a bite the staff needs to rid themselves of. The ice cream is excellent and speed of service very good also.“

“It's an oceanside pizza parlor and arcade, so it doesn't have great "atmosphere", but if you take your food out the back thru the arcade, you can eat it outside about 50 yards from the ocean. Their pizzas have more toppings than any pizza parlor I've ever eaten at, especially The Breakers' Special pizza. They also sell hand scooped ice cream, and are generous with their scoops. The people that own it and run it don't smile a lot, but the service is almost always excellent, so don't let that get in the way of a good experience. Only real negative is the parking. There's only 2 spots in front of the building, so you usually have to park across the street, which is free. DON'T park in the lot next to the bldg, as that's emergency access for EMTs. Parking at the OIB Pier parking lot MAY be OK, but check the signage as before 6pm there's probably a charge to park there. I recommend WALKING to Breakers if you can, so you get great food and good exercise.Kid-friendliness: No one goes in here expecting a fine dining experience, so kids of all ages, and noise levels, will probably be fine here. They do have a high chair.“

“Complete and utter ripOff!Stay away!Update, the area manager contacted me and explained to me how I was supposed to be treated as a customer which was contrary to how I was treated on this particular day.She was very considerate and apologized for my unpleasant experience.She refunded my $ and offered me another opportunity to have a better experience.This time I will know what to expect and what I am buying with my hard earned $.The product is good.That day the staff was not helpful in giving me any information on the brand and how it worked.This was my first visit to this brand.I look forward to another opportunity.“

“This place is so cool! So many candy varieties that take me back to when i was a kid, Brachs Rocks, rootbear candy, banana quarter machine candy...I got some icecream as lost one of my scoops to gravity pulling it to the surface of the earth's crust. The collision was disheartening but our icecream server quickly volunteered to give me a replacement scoop!The icecream was so good. Inhad one scoop of a coffee mocha chocolate , and another with banana and peanut butter moose tracks.“
