“The burgers 🍔 were delicious as was the loaded fries 🍟 (with cheese & chili. The woman who took care of was very polite, helpful and friendly. It was our first visit and it won’t be our last.“

“Been here many times and I would say it is a cute, tiny little ice cream shop. Most recent visit was concerning…they used to have a sign outside the shop allowing just a few people in at once as a covid mitigation strategy. On a recent visit, by the time I got to the register, there was a large group of patrons crowded inside with their small children. The children were coughing, not wearing masks, and the lady who rang up my ice cream must have sensed my discomfort and asked me, “are you ok, ma’am?” I responded, “yes, I just want to get out of here, it’s a bit crowded.” I was told by another patron that she laughed at me on my way out of the shop. There is nothing funny about trying to socially distance, and I won’t be returning to spend over $6 on an average ice cream cone seeing as there is no protocol to enforce masks on children under 12. For the safety of the workers and patrons, maybe consider putting the sign out again that asks you to wait outside the door if another family is already inside. I did just that, but apparently others don’t pick up on these social cues and just pile on into this super small space. I don’t care that I was laughed at for this, but maybe I should be laughed at for spending so much on an ice cream cone.“

“Amazingly creamy ice cream and gluten free waffle cones! Will definitely return on my next trip to Charleston.“

“Love sitting outside and watching the boats come in and go out… ♥️“

“Local ice cream parlor and candy shop in the Charleston s.c. area of city market. When you approach the store, you can smell a distinctive sweet smell as you approach. They a wonderful variety of chocolate goodies they make along with the ice cream shop and candy coated apples. The store is very delightful and kid friendly.“

“Bought an ice cream cake for Valentine's Day. Delicious 💙“

“Stopped by Waflin for a quick dessert and was blown away! Their menu of waffle and ice cream treats is impressive, and the hazelnut waffle I tried was pure perfection—warm, crispy waffle paired with creamy, cold ice cream. The presentation was top-notch, like a little edible masterpiece. Got a chance to chat with the team, and their pride in their Turkish roots and craft really shines through. Absolutely recommend!“

“Community Perk has become my go to coffee shop! They recently added some new pastries and breakfast sandwiches that are delicious - definitely try the donuts and the biscuit sandwich. The people who work there are really friendly and helpful too.“

They also have ice cream for kids and give free water to homeless people! A great example of a successful veteran owned business.“

“I have not been able to try all the cookie flavors just yet, but I’m definitely working on it! I have loved all the ones I have tried so far! The staff here is amazing and can’t forget the pup! I love seeing him when I go in. The guys and Megan all know my coffee upon me walking in and have it ready for me and then we discuss what cookie I should get, I usually get the three pack because they are so yummy!“
