This is BEST ice cream place we have ever been too! The fact that all the ice cream and cones are gluten free, seed oil free, homemade and high quality sourcing won me over AND it’s the first time I’ve enjoyed ice cream without a bellyache. Also, the serving is very generous. It’s worth every penny!

Gets a 1 star for the taste of the 3 different flavors I tasted. So bad, I threw away the small chocolate cup I got, couldn’t even finish it. The only reason this place is in business is because there’s no other ice cream close, it’s definitely not because it’s good. And for the price? Get real! Go buy Great Value, it’s better in taste by far and wayyy cheaper.

Charming spot to stop for a treat. The ice cream is so delicious and scoops are generous!! Try the made-to-order waffle cones! The owner is from Ukraine and uses recipes that have been passed down in his family for over a hundred years—you can taste the quality of their ingredients and the love in every scoop.

I think if you are looking for simple ice cream this is it. No frills and very simple classics flavors. The establishment itself is very cute and has a welcoming vibe. I don't know that I would return just because I do think there are plenty of other places to grab a sweet snack from with a little more variety.

The website said it would be open until 10, we went at 9:10 and the boy working had the closed sign on the door. A few minutes later 2 girls walked in and he served them. We went back up to the door and asked but he said they were closed (9:17). Very disappointing, it smelled good. Would’ve loved to give it a

Heading to the beach to listen to the waves, Mrs. K. decided that we were going to stop for ice cream. Republic fit the bill and not only still open on a Saturday night during the offseason, they have excellent ice cream! Double chocolate chip for her, something with peanut butter for me. Delicious, creamy, served at just the right temperature to be fabulous and not drippy. When it's busy, their parking situation is going to be a challenge. You might end up dropping someone off while you circle the streets until you pick them back up again! [Review 256 of 2024 - 1120 in South Carolina - 21291 overall.]

Holy cow this ice cream is absolutely amazing. I was highly impressed. I’m not a big ice cream fan it usually has a weird texture but this place has perfected ice cream! It’s super creamy and rich and the fresh waffle cones are a must!

Service was great! My dog yanked his leash and the Bordeaux Cherry went tumbling to the ground and the nice lady gave me another Cherry and treated my pup to a little taste of whip cream☺️? We were pleasantly surprised! Everything seemed homemade so it was truly a Party on your Pallet!
Proprietor not friendly. No greeting. Limited flavors. Kids with ordered ice cream which they seemed to enjoy. A single scoop on a regular cone is more than $7!!! Too costly. Rustic looking shop.

It’s Nov 2023. This place is perfectly located right next to the beach. Uses excellent ingredients & makes it all by hand. And yet reading some reviews you’d think they were serving store bought generic brand ice cream and over charging.So, heads up low standard cheap people. You’re in a tourist spot. You’re gonna pay more. You’re eating homemade food made with real easy to pronounce ingredients. You’re gonna pay more. You want $2 options? Go to WalMart and then complain how nothing is made in the USA anymore…Everything is Gluten Free. Cones included. And they even have waffle cones (yes - gluten free). Homemade ice cream (including cookies & cream which again is Gluten Free). Stellar ingredients in the ice cream. Regular vanilla & chocolate had all of 4 or 5 total ingredients. On other flavors I noticed coconut oil which in 2023 is a big deal since everyone is terrified of seed oils (soybean, safflower, sunflower, etc).The ice cream was some of the best I’ve ever had. Huge noticeable difference in taste. And the gluten free waffle cone? I’ve no idea how they do it. The only “tell” was it’s more brittle (as most gluten free pastries are) than a wheat waffle cone. But the taste? Identical.This place gets an A+Dietary restrictions: Everything is Gluten free (as of Nov 2023)

Soft serve vanilla ice cream was terrible, very chalky. The fresh made waffle cone was good. I ended up dumping the ice cream out and just eating the cone. It's a shame, such a great location and a good looking place. But it is crazy expensive for such poor quality ice cream.

Terrible! Icecream was Terrible. Hot fudge sundea was Terrible and they charged our card 61 dollars for a icecream sundea and a coffee shake! Will never go here again the hot fudge Sunday was terrible. The hot fudge was loaded with chunks of sugar.
