If you are looking for a local gelati, Italian ice that provides quality service and a delicious treat, look no further. The owners are thoughtful, personable, and their staff has energy that is unmatched. Houni's offers drive thru option, order at the window, and has a patio area for extra seating as well as a grass area if you want to bring your pup or kiddos to play while enjoying your treat. Houni's is my go to for light, flavorful dessert options with personal treats, quart and gallon size "save it for later" options, and available for your next event. On opening day of "new add in's" and launching their summer flavors, I ordered a peach gelati with vanilla soft serve, and added in gummy bears. Each layer had gummy bears and they were still chewy goodness for each bite. Houni's vanilla soft serve is perfect for soft serve lovers, and is a great addition to any Italian ice. The peach Italian ice has the perfect consistency for Italian ice and doesn't leave you with excess juice. The flavor tastes just like a fresh South Carolina peach. Be sure to stop by, enjoy a couple of samples, and check out their Owl Creations if you wanting creative ideas for your next treat! read more

Houni's can do no wrong. I'm a Philly girl, so getting me to approve of water ice in the south is not easy, but this place has done it. I honestly can't even drive down Woodruff Road now with my mouth started to water for a gelati. I've had so many different flavors, and I've loved them all - watermelon, mango, strawberry, pineapple, orange, the list goes on. This is a walk up window with outdoor seating, so go on a pretty day or plan to eat in the car, but either way, you won't regret it. Just go. read more

Very similar to a Jeremiah's ice but love the fact that it is family owned and that they have a drive-thru! We had four different types and I was able to taste all of them...... No complaints about any of them. I did have the Hawaiian and would recommend:) read more

Me and my husband love Houni's. I'm not sure how they make their Italian ice or soft serve but it is the best soft serve if ever had. I love the seasonal flavors and the owl pal creations. We go once a week and more in the summer. I also enjoy the rewards points we get. I just cashed in for a free small. read more

I saw a picture of Houni's gelati with vanilla soft serve, mango ice and pineapple ice. After realizing that Houni's is less than 1.5 miles from my house and it would be a fun after dinner convertible ride, we pulled up. But there is very little parking at Houni's. It is a short walk to the Planet Fitness (old Bilo) parking lot with plenty of spaces, but we did the drive through. Order at the window. Multiple flavors available. Soft serve was smooth and creamy, thick enough but still soft. Italian ice was flavorful. We will be back - and we have the frequent visitors rewards card. read more

I absolutely LOVE Houni's!!!! They have the best soft serve I have ever had. And the Italian ice flavors are out of this world! The combo is amazing! I've tried all different flavors and combos. I've even tried the chocolate soft serve in some, and I haven't had one yet that was bad. Some are stronger in flavors than others, which is good because I like strong flavors and my boyfriend doesn't. The staff is very friendly and very helpful if you have questions. Don't know what to get? They will tell you what is popular or what they like. If you want multiple flavors in one, that is no extra charge. They have some popular combos listed when you go there. I would say give it a try! You won't regret it! read more

Houni's is tucked in a smaller standalone building just off Woodruff Road (near Cookout). The brightly colored exterior makes it easier to spot! It has a drive thru ordering option which makes it a quick treat or there are seats if you want to stay and enjoy on site! There are so many different flavors of homemade italian ice to choose from and they offer several different size options whether it is single serve or packed up to go home in a quart or half gallon container. The menu showcases all of the flavors and then has options for italian ice, gelati, or softserve. I asked what gelati was and the sweet girl at the window explained it as being italian ice layered with softserve. Since I was getting a quart to go I opted for straight italian ice, but I bet the creaminess of the softserve would really balance well with it! They have a walkup window to order and an outdoor patio with seating. However, there are very few parking spots adjacent to the building (the majority of nearby spots are marked with signs reserving them for other businesses). There is a large somewhat vacant parking lot just behind the building so I might suggest parking and walking the few feet over if you don't want to go through the drive thru. read more

Yup. This is hands down one of my favorite dessert places in Greenville. I have nothing but good things to say about this place and I've been multiple times. The wait time for the drive through can be a little long sometimes but it is completely worth it (and understandable due to the nationwide staff shortages). The prices are very reasonable and there are SO many flavor options. If you need a sweet treat this is definitely the place to go to. read more

We checked this place out last Saturday and we were NOT disappointed! The combination of Italian ice and soft serve seemed weird to me at first, but I decided to give it a go and tried the Hounis Classic - blue raspberry and pineapple Italian ice layered with vanilla soft serve. It was SO GOOD. The staff was friendly and helpful, prices were reasonable, and even with a long drive-thru line, we were in and out in 10 minutes. The whole family enjoyed it! read more

Stand in line, order at one of the 3 windows whoever is ready for you, then you stand in front of a number pole while the person who took your order makes it and walks it out to you, hand delivering.

10/10 and the perfect summer treat. I got the Fregonada which is strawberry, cream and mango…read moretopped with fresh mango. They make all their fruit syrups in house. It's a large portion. Don't like what's on their menu? They are nice enough to make you a custom one if what they have isn't vibing with your taste buds. They also have normal snow cone flavors if you aren't into the fancy ones. The customer service is also phenomenal. I've been to this location 3 times this summer and every time I'm greeted with a smile! Pro tip: check their Facebook for hours. It can change daily based on if they have events booked or run out of supplies. They are good about keeping their hours updated daily.

Amazingly delish! Always looks exactly like the menu pics. So much better than plain shaved iceread more
