50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Charlotte

“Your Buttery Pecan is a thing of memories and dreams. (my mom loved Butter pecan and so do I (don't get it often.. or every where I live.. ). My daughter, who lives in the Neighborhood, suggested that we "stop by for a pint" this evening, while I'm visiting her. and YUM!!!. I'm sure we will be back before I depart for home. .(ps. the Mint Brownie Ice Cream is also very yummy.. and pairs very well with the Butter Pecan!!!.)“

“Tasty gelato with good flavors!

My family and I enjoyed coming here to get a tasty cold treat!
We were pleased that you can get 2 flavors in a small cup, so we all did- just big enough to hit the spot!

I recommend giving this place a go if you’re in the Neighborhood

Kid-friendliness: Small cup was perfect for the kids; they liked eating their ice cream with the sample spoon!“

“The waffle cone is really good. The ice cream amount looks small but it's very rich and full of flavor, so the 2 scoops was more than enough.“

“Last night I took my son to the Ben and Jerry’s location in Charlotte NC and Owen helped us. He was so kind and helpful. We chatted just a bit as we were the only people in the store at that time. He was personable, pleasant and the ice cream was delicious as always. Definitely wanted to give him props for great customer service.“

“Went to this location today. What lovely people! This is an incredibly challenging time for all, but try being in food service with masks, gloves, additional sanitizing protocol through the roof and hot cranky customers. The team here today was top notch. Thank you for making our day!“

“My favorite place to go for REAL Italian ice!!“

“Such friendly people, with amazingly delicious food. Seriously, so good! Best burgers we have EVER had, anywhere! We have been customers at their food truck, and now the cafe as well. I really appreciate the availability of gluten free buns!“

“Had the best time ever. We indulged on the brownie/milkshake/cotton candy concoction and then chilled outside with Hookah. By the far the best place in Charlotte I have been to that offers hookah, sweet treats, and drinks. The service was PHENOMENAL nothing was left to be desired. I cannot recommend this place enough and cannot wait to be back myself!

Parking: Parking in Noda is always a challenge. However, the difficulty is well worth it to come to Sprinkle!“

“took my grandsons and we loved it, it was very nice and clean. I just wished they had kids size, because their small was still too big for my youngest grand it was a waste of money and frozen yogurt for a child. other than the sizing I was we were pleased“

“1st time EVER having a crumble cookie!! I was NOT disappointed!!! Super yummmmy!!! I got the 4 cookie deal. Hot Chocolate cookie, Chocolate chip, Snickerdoodle, and a pecan chocolate chip!!! They were super yummmmy!!! Apparently they have a store not too far from my house in IL (what we locals call Indian Land), SC. I will defff b checking that one out toooo!!! 🫶🏻💯👏🙌❤️‍🔥🫂💚♥️🩵🫶🫶🫶🫶“

“Tried this cafe for the first time today & its already my new favorite place! Absolutely adorable atmosphere, super sweet staff & incredibly delicious drinks & treats! Highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Well done! This was my first visit to a Culver's restaurant. I was impressed. The food was fresh and hot. I requested extra-crispy fries and that's exactly what I got.

The restaurant was clean and well-maintained. And best of all, all of the employees were very polite and friendly. A rare thing to find a fast food restaurant. Keep up the good work!“

“Delicious, authentic gelato made with organic ingredients! Charlotte is so lucky to have chef Corrado bless us with his talents. We’ve tasted at least 6 flavors and can’t wait to try more! We’ll be picking up more pints from the Matthews Community Farmers Market this summer and Carolina Commercial Kitchen if we can’t wait until Saturday 😋🍨“

“I came to Rita’s expecting an average experience, but I was blown away by the delicious chocolate custard and excellent customer service. I am allergic to nuts, and the staff Gabrielle and Lia were great at accommodating my order based on that allergy. Overall, it was fantastic and I will definitely be returning.“

“The best vegan pizza in Charlotte! We love the margherita pizza with the cashew cheese. It’s hard to find places that have the perfect vegan cheese in a good amount and Inizio’s nailed it. We want more vegan options so we can come more often!“

“I ate there today because the ones in SC closed, but it wasn’t a fun experience the lady working in there was rude.“

“It was pretty good I got the brownie sundae and a chocolate chip cookie it was delicious it would be 5 stars if they didn’t almost forget my cookie.“

“Great, fresh and delicious ice cream and the best customer service!“

“Always a delicious treat!“

“I have gone here for years. In recent years I have not been due to being remote; but I came back and they still remembered me! The food is good wholesome food! The chicken salad on croissant is my favorite. It’s piled high and delicious. Get it all the way with mayo/mustard/lettuce/tomato. Very good. The sweet family run business is worth supporting!“

“I am leaving this review for management. The woman working today, Tuesday afternoon, March 26 was exceptional. She was helpful, friendly, and was working the entire time. There were lots of people in at the same time. In the 10 minutes I Sat there she did about 10 different things. I thought that she might be an owner because she really seemed to care about every detail and never stopped cleaning up, sweeping, etc. etc. I rarely see people in food service work like that anymore. The store was spotless ...it's easy to see why.“

“So sweet, we can't buy them too often because it is too much, but every time we crave a great cookie, this is always our go option. It may seem a but pricey, but they are definitely worth it.
We've come several times since this location opened, and the staff is always nice and quick. The self service make the process easier if you're not using the app to order ahead.“

“It's awesome. Great ice cream and very friendly staff.“

“Really really good cookies.“

“This ice cream shop is great! My sister and I are regulars because the ice cream is consistently delicious. The manager deserves a special shout-out – she's incredibly helpful when it comes to navigating the flavor options, always patient and kind.

The only downside is that the popularity of this place can lead to lines, especially at peak times. Also, as someone with lactose intolerance, I find the dairy-free selection a bit limited. While the two existing dairy-free flavors are tasty, having more options, like a classic strawberry or vanilla, would be fantastic!“

“I took my grandson to this business a couple of days ago. He went into the establishment and got a cup and brought it to me first. The young lady that worked there thought that was so nice. He got a lot of gummy worms, gummy figures. There is a restaurant in that strip section but they had two men directing traffic, had to park on the side of wall. Too busy when everyone is coming from work. This is a popular place.“

“I visited this location, and a nice boy with a buzz cut greeted me and made me one of the best milkshakes I’ve ever had. It was delicious!! His name was Brody I think (don’t quote me on it). He was so nice and genuinely made the experience worth the drive. Go get yourself a snickers milkshake from this location!!“

“I went here today and ordered a strawberry shake. The gentleman that made my shake came outside and told me that he made it special for me. He had the biggest smile and he was so kind. I just wanted to make a review to say that the customer service that I received today was amazing, a big shout out to the man that was so very proud of his strawberry milkshake. It made me smile.“

“Great ice cream. Love the smoothies. Always excellent customer service!“

“Your sweet tooth will be fulfilled“

“I love this place! I have to have ice cream every night so this is my goto spot to pick up ice cream for the week. I order through the app for pick up and my order is always ready when I get there and my order is always accurate. Sometimes they even give me a little extra ice cream in to go cups in my bag so that’s always a pleasant surprise when I get home! Awesome“
