27 Best Ice Cream Shops near Sullivans Island

“🍨 🍨 🍨- Do yourself a favor and go to Beardcat’s located in Sullivan’s Island just below the Obstinate Daughter. Serving up unique and scrumptious gelato flavors, Beardcat’s was one of the highlights of our trip. The ⭐ of the show was the biscoff almond crunch which was so good I almost got a to go tub. However, they had other delicious combos such lime blueberry, olive oil, pistachio, stracciatella, and other standard gelato staples. If you cant decode, they will give a sample or two but make sure to tip! Also, their chocolate chip cookie was also very good and a nice treat

I’ll definitely be stopping by again whenever I’m in the area. Highly recommend!“

It's not often you see someone in the service industry take time out of their day to be so kind.This ice cream is incredible- the flavors are bright with a hint of alcohol, perfectly balanced.Thank you for your time today Blake- I will be a lifelong customer. Currently going to lowes foods to buy every pint!“

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*“

“We met Jeni !!!!! This is not your typical ice cream store....and not your average ice cream. Fresh, creamy, silky, and bold with flavors. Hospitality was impeccable. Clean store. Great staff. Wonderful experience. Highly recommend a visit!“

“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!“
