12 Best Ice Cream Shops near Carolina Beach

“We come down once a year and we have e now found our new favorite place for dessert! Staff is impeccable and we were not disappointed at either of our interactions.“

“We've been to the Carolina Beach Boardwalk so many times but never stopped in to try the gelato. SO glad I stopped in this time. The young lady working the counter was so friendly, she greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. The store is bright and clean, they have items/souvenirs for sale. The gelato is beautifully displayed and the flavors are clearly marked. They offer gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free options. I chose the chocolate oreo for myself and the sugar-free strawberry cream for my husband. I was taking the gelato back to our rental unit, so she offered full-size spoons or tasting-size spoons and napkins, and asked if I needed an insulated bag. The gelato was smooth, creamy and delicious. We will definitely stop back in again on our next trip to CB.“

“Hands down the best ice cream we've had! From ages 10 to 40, we all agreed!“

“Just a walk up hole in the wall. The two servers that were working were very helpful and extremely personable. We had the butter pecan ice cream and the blueberry cheesecake ice cream. Both were delicious. We then could not resist the funnel cake that they drizzled with chocolate and peanut butter sauce and topped with whipped cream! A definite must go!!“

“10/10 recommend! My kids and I went here when leaving the beach! The ice cream is amazing! There are man selections. We also bought rock candy and fudge! The fudge selection is amazing as well!“

“Various homemade & fresh tasty sweets.The fudge is awesome & products are reasonably priced.“

“honestly the best and cheapest place to get ice cream on the island! the workers are kinda freaky but they’re all good kids. can’t wait to see each and everyone of them blossom into such great people in the future seeing how hard they all work.

i personally wouldnt get milkshakes and a pineapple paradise when i see a long line just cause.

they got a great manager too cuz my kids started crying and she started singing and dancing to cheer them up. a bit freaky but she chill like that!“

“ordered door dash today and it was amazing. Called to ask a question, they were so helpful and accommodating even though it was a door dash order. Definitely a new family favorite.“

“Always the best with your family & kids, games etc...“

“We visit oak island every year and I have never tried Burney’s until today. My son and I picked out multiple items and the woman who helped us asked if we’d ever been there before. When I said no, she gave us a glazed croissant to try for free! It was delicious, I ended up purchasing another w/buttercream icing filling and it was so good. Everything I purchased was great and was gone before the end of the day. Already planning to go back tomorrow before we have to head home :)“

“Great place to enjoy live music, gelato, and Italian wine!🍷“
