Island Ice Factory

My wife and I loved this place. They have a wide variety and for those of you that are low carb they have sugar free options that tasted amazing. The workers there were also very personable and helpful. Definitely check them out.

If I could give more stars, I would. This is the BEST place on the island to get dessert. RUN don't walk!! Vegan options are insane. The flavors are unique and everything is so fresh!

Allergen friendly restaurant! Our son has egg soy and dairy allergies and we were all able to get something here! He got the Italian ice and our other dairy-free family members got ice cream. Fun for all. Good choices and flavors.

Best Ice cream on Carolina beach by far!! I can never find dairy or sugar free ice cream, and Island Ice Factory has a huge selection, and they’re delicious!! Staff and owner are always kind and welcoming. If you’re looking for great ice cream, come here!! Can’t recommend this place enough.

I had the pistachio dairy free, and sugar free ice cream and it was absolutely delicious! You couldn’t even tell it was dairy free or sugar free at all it was so creamy and buttery tasting and the flavor was REAL pistachio not artificial tasting at all.I love that they sweeten it with stevia instead of those cheap artificial sweeteners. You can tell their ingredients are quality. I also had their dairy free peanut butter chocolate chip ice cream and that was delicious too. All of their flavors are well rounded and I will always come back here. It’s my favorite guilt free desert spot in Carolina beach !

This is the best ice cream/Italian ice shop on the island! Every time I walk in I’m greeted by such kindness and hospitality by the entire staff! There’s a large selection of ice cream, soft serve, Italian ice, and non dairy ice cream as well. If you are vegan or just need a break from dairy, this is the best non dairy ice cream I’ve ever had!

Fantastic selection of dairy-free options, as well as dairy-free sorbet! Staff and owner are attentive and kind, and overall just a great place for ice cream!

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.

They have a variety of flavors including dairy free and vegan along with different fudges, salt water taffy and bottled beverages. Dairy free taste delicious! We were also able to get a pup cup for our puppy (: had something for everyone in our family. very happy with the taste, prices, variety of flavors, and wonderful staff! Very sweet and helpful young lady working today. Thank you!! (:

Delicious ice cream, great service and well priced

Some of the best ice cream and Italian ice I've ever had.

Enjoyed the ice and ice cream on a warm spring day!

The Itlian ice selection is excellent. Sad they no longer have gelato.
