I’ll definitely be back!“

“My only regret is I ate the custard so fast, I didnt get a picture! 🤣 we tried to come back a 2nd time last night but they were closed due to card reader issues. 😭 The custard is perfectly creamy and light but so delicious! Can't wait to come back when we're back in Charleston!“

“The ice cream is really good. The chocolate was rich and buttery. I don’t understand the lower reviews due to pricing. Being at a 5 star resort, right on the beach, what do you expect? I guess people always have something to complain about.“

“I’ve gotta say — the new Ben & Jerry’s is hands down one of the best additions to the neighborhood 🍦 The staff? Unreal. Super friendly, welcoming, and somehow make you feel like you’ve been coming there for years — even if it’s your first visit. Now let’s talk ice cream… I’m a cookie dough guy, and let me tell you — this place absolutely delivers. I went in thinking I’d grab a scoop and be on my way… next thing I know I’m standing there debating if it’s socially acceptable to order a second one immediately 😄 It’s the perfect spot to swing by with family, cool off, and enjoy something that honestly just makes your day better. Mount Pleasant definitely scored big with this one. 10/10 — just don’t blame me when “quick stop for ice cream” becomes a regular routine.“

“This was probably the best coffee we had in Charleston! I absolutely recommend stopping in here. While prices are not listed, it's basically the same you would pay at any other coffee shop, but you will have an amazing drink! It's absolutely worth stopping in! It only took a couple minutes for both drinks. 1,000% recommend!“

“The super Mario song had me thinking it was an ice cream truck but ended up being something I never had before, a booze pop. I ended up gettin’ a Watermelon Martini and a vodka lemonade both were 15% Alc and set the temp with it being hot out. Would definitely go back to try more flavors. - 87*“

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

“I stopped into Waflin while walking around downtown Charleston with a few girlfriends, and it ended up being such a fun experience! We were just looking for a quick sweet treat, but were honestly amazed by how much they had to offer!! it really feels like a one-stop shop with so many delicious options to choose from and was also able to pick up some souvenirs to bring back to family!

Each of us ordered something different, from the viral Dubai Chocolate cup, milkshakes and their bubble waffles cones! Every single thing was a hit. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the presentation and the taste.
The crew was so friendly and had the best customer service!!

If you’re downtown and craving something sweet, this spot is definitely worth stopping into!“
