36 Best Ice Cream Shops near Travelers Rest

“I want to commend the Pink Mama's Ice Cream bus driver. I personally witnessed him stop his vehicle at a crosswalk at 385 and West Georgia Rd. He helped an elderly lady cross the street in heavy traffic, ignoring his own safety to do the right thing. The best part was when the elderly lady got to the other side of the road he handed her an ice cream sandwich, free of charge. Anyway, these guys exemplify what being a civil servant is all about!!! Please contact them when you have an event.“

“Great fresh smoothies and Italian ices with fun flavors!“

“This is chef’s kiss perfection and a much-deserved review! A girl coming from the pizza capitol of the USA, I’ve had a lot of pizza in my life—but nothing prepared me for the culinary masterpiece that is the Peachy Keen Pizza at the Simpsonville location. This isn’t just food—it’s a full-blown flavor experience. From the first bite, I was transported. The base is brushed with a fragrant rosemary garlic oil that sets the stage with earthy, aromatic depth. Then come the sweet, sun-kissed local peaches, their juicy brightness cutting through the richness like a summer breeze. Just when you think it can’t get better, in comes the savory prosciutto, thin and perfectly crisped, adding a salty, umami punch that balances the sweetness like a dream. And then—feta cheese. Tangy, creamy, and just crumbly enough to melt into the other ingredients, it ties everything together with a Mediterranean flair. But wait, there’s more: a balsamic glaze drizzled with the precision of an artist, adding a dark, syrupy tang that elevates every bite. Fresh basil leaves bring a pop of green and a burst of herbal freshness, while their signature spicy honey finishes it all off with a sweet heat that lingers just long enough to make you crave the next bite. This pizza is bold. It’s balanced. It’s brilliant. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite, look around the room, and say, “Are you tasting this?!” If you’re anywhere near Simpsonville, do yourself a favor and get to this spot. The Peachy Keen Pizza breaks the rules and rewrites them with elegance and flair. Trust me—your taste buds will never be the same.“

“These are the best treats ever! I love that each peice is detailed to perfection!“

“These girls are awesome! Been a regular for close to 4 years! Happy people doing what they love! And it helps that what they serve is good for your body! Awesome job, ladies!“

“The waffle cone was so good , I got the strawberry 🍓 and 🥥 one“

“The best ice cream parlor, they offer a variety of flavors, it is neat, clean and I loved the attention of Karina and the wonderful lady, they deserve a raise. I will be back. I recommend it 100%“

“I went to to crazy mason in Pigeon Forge, and I had an amazing milkshake there. So I figured I would go to their greenville location, and by golly, was it immaculate. The wife and I got the strawberry shortcake, and our friends got the cookies and cream milkshake. The strawberry berry shortcake was a little to "crazy" for me, but the wifey loved it. Next time, I'll probably settle for a regular milkshake, but altogether, it was a great 9 out of 10 would recommend if you want to change your milkshake experience up a little bit.“

“Ok how have I lived here for 2 and a half years and have been up and down the cross street where this is and never noticed it? I’m also dumb because I thought it was ice cream. Finally went tonight and got the cold brew coffee froyo. It was sooooo good and they have excellent choice of toppings, including my favorite dark chocolate chips which is not common to see. The service was excellent and love the retro vibe of the place, don’t change a thing! It’ll be a spot for me to grab a sweet treat again for sure. They also have a coffee shop inside the establishment so they’re open early in the morning for that and a drive through! Who needs that other green logo coffee brand??

In short, make sure you get over there!“

“Great customer service . My daughter and i both enjoyed it! Will definitely be back“

“Best ice cream and customer service in Greenville ! Crème Shack is definitely a 10+…… the rolled ice cream and toppings Are always perfect !“

“We’ve been coming here since opening and have never had a bad experience. The ice cream is amazing, but even better, Sarah is incredible. She knows us all by name & has my daughter’s ice cream order memorized. It really gives the “small town feel” of a local ice cream shop with healthier, cleaner options. Our daughter is dairy free & has never been disappointed with the multiple dairy free options.“

“We finally make it downtown to the most awesome, made on premises, candy, fudge and ice cream shop. So excited. It's literally 5:02 pm. Normal close time 10:00 pm. There is a sign on the door that they closed at 5:00 pm for an employee outing. Feeling beyond totally disappointed, we sit in the courtyard trying to get motivated to find something else to do on this beautiful day. Apparently we looked extremely sad as well, because in a few minutes an employee comes out with a Kilwins chocolate box and says she saw us looking sad and felt very bad we were so disappointed. Please take these chocolate dipped strawberries we had left over, and come back and see us soon. My goodness so many strawberries! Ripe and juicy and, of course, dipped in some of the best chocolate I've had in my life. So fortunate to have yet another great thing here, a delicious candy, fudge and ice cream shop!! Bonus - they are also kind and so very thoughtful! Thank you so much Kilwins Greenville!!!“

“Such a cute and clean place, the lady was so nice and sweet! The mini pancakes are a must 🤩 Están recién hechos y salen calientes!“

“Great crew here, helped me find just what I needed and when I called several hours later to update my order the did so hassle free. Did misspell my name but can't hold it against the, wind was interfering with call. It was funny and they're very helpful here“

“Amazing Italian Ice and good people! Thanks for helping us out on Adventure Day for Safe Haven & Educational Adventures!“

“Decadent doesn't even begin to cover it; always grabbing something before I leave the mall whenever I'm in the area.Wide selection, and the shakes are always top of the line. My personal favorite is the Midnight Cookies and Cream. Cheers. ?“

“Slow .. but good ice cream. I think Brewster's needs a better ordering system. Customers should get a numbered ticket while waiting for their ice cream to be prepared. They were handing out one desert about every 10 minutes when there were at least 40 people waiting for their order or in line. It was total mayhem. Work smarter not harder it's common sense. Its confusing for customers when the order is being called out as a banana split instead of order #17 or something like that. It appeared several people got banana splits at the same time. Very disorganized but friendly and professional.“

“Great for corporate events, weddings, schools, birthday parties and any special event“

“Christy Acquaro and her team are the perfect example of a successful, well organized owner/operator business. We seek to support small “mom & pop” businesses whenever possible.
We live a short distance and stop in often, especially when our two grandchildren are with us.
Blueberry Frog might be the most child friendly atmosphere ever. Draw on the walls or floors with colorful chalk. Your dog always gets a treat.
The variety is outstanding as you build your own treat.

“Delicious cookies and so unique love it“

“Amazing! Great service and the ice and gelato was so so so good!!! Yum yum!!!“

“I don’t know who this Katlynn girl is at Brusters In Easley SC, but the other day I had a major heart attack while waiting and Ms. Katlynn dove through the window and saved my life and also got my a triple scoop of chocolate ice cream all within a timely manner! Best service ever! Thank the heavens for Katlynn Farmer!“

“I visited the Crumbl in Greenville today to purchase some cookies on my way home from dinner. I must say that I was impressed with how they managed the large crowd of guests that were waiting for orders. I counted 16-19 people waiting and there were about 6 people working. Despite the constant flow of people coming in, the staff managed to consistently satisfy orders and manage the heavy flow of traffic. No one waited a long time for their order to be prepared and the crew of workers all seemed to work well together. The facility looked to be in good condition and everyone had a cheerful attitude. The most impressive part is how delicious my cookies were!“

“They even have a few Vegan choices! It’s delicious!!! Very helpful and friendly staff too.“

“Love this place. wish I lived closer. Great food and great people!“

“OMG SO DELICIOUS!! I came in not knowing what to expect, and I am so glad i did! This dessert is AMAZING! The place is clean and customer service is excellent!! If you haven’t been… WHY?“

“Spill the Beans in downtown Greenville perfectly embodies the aesthetic tranquility that is downtown Greenville. It sits right above Falls Park on the Reedy, immediately next to the visually stunning, trademark one sided-suspension bridge. The staff there are top shelf, especially when you go there for morning coffee or tea before you start your day. Everyone brings the staple southern hospitality begins your day with a smile. They have an exciting array of latte flavors, and a down to earth industrial look on the inside mixed with some representation of paintings by local artists. It’s the perfect place to meet up with clients or with fellow professionals to network. They have free WiFi for getting work or homework done as well. They also have amazing ice cream options. Our children talk about Spill the Beans as if it’s Disneyland to our out of town friends. We love to go on family walks after work when it’s nice out and go up and down the Reedy and then stop in for some STB ice cream as the grand finale. An impressive plethora of flavor options, along with waffle cones they make right there in house - you can watch them make each one in the morning - make it the perfect highlight to take friends and family to when they visit from out of town. Greenville is full of wonderful and unique coffee and ice cream shops, but in our book, Spill the Beans downtown tops the list comfortably. *Grateful tip of the hat to the All-Star baristas in the morning, including Maddie, Leah, and Chloe, who offer the white glove experience every establishment looks for in their staff 🫡“

“Had lunch there today.. Bison Burger ..upstream sandwich (Salmon ) and Parmesan fries were great 👍“

“Just had to have a cookie and looked up my favorite cookie place insomnia and found they deliver. My daughters couldn’t go get me a cookie but delivery solved my sweet tooth. Only problem was couldn’t decide on flavor and number. Ended up with a large variety.“

“had a blast at this stop for a free cone thanks Dairy Queen“
