    Outside Rock Hill
    Kendra C.

    I was genuinely surprised to find this place quiet on a hot Saturday afternoon--but honestly? That made the experience even better. From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. I went with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Krazy Kake. Both scoops were absolute bliss--creamy and downright joyful. The shop has a cozy yet playful vibe. The outdoor seating is the perfect vibe. Perfect for date night, solo treats, or a spontaneous sugar break. Definitely worth the visit. Your tastebuds will thank you.

    This is the cutest little ice cream shop tucked away in a little apartment/condo complex. Walking in your greeted with a smile and today's specials. All the ladies were extremely friendly and offering up any sample requests. Ice cream is very good with some special twists. I got vanilla in a cup topped with warm peaches and whipped cream. The scoops of ice cream are not only tasty but also very plentiful. All four of us really enjoyed everything we ordered..

    If there's a two scoops in the area, I'm checking it out! Love that they added a Rock Hill location, and it's attached to a Common Market. Their vibes go hand in hand! You cannot go wrong with any of their handcrafted flavors - they're all delicious. I'm usually a cookies by the sea person, but this time I went with sky high (biscoff cookie) - it was delish. They also have traditional flavors like vanilla and chocolate, but you seriously can't go wrong with any of their flavors. They also have water (wooder) ice, if you're not feeling ice cream.

    Cool artwork and ambiance

    We were passing through Rock Hill and we were looking for some homemade ice cream. It's so hard to find these days. We were pleasantly surprised. Great flavors and high butter fat content too ! I told the young gentleman that it was our first time visiting and he was so nice and helpful ! They have unusual flavor names, which is a great twist for ice cream. It was a charming little place with wonderful homemade ice cream. When in Rock Hill, you should definitely stop !!

    We've been anticipating the opening of this creamery, but sadly, my first impression wasn't too great. The place itself just looked too rough and sloppy to me. The drab colors of the wall, even the awkward wall art, was just lackluster. Not sure why they didn't go with much richer, vibrant colors, for one. I wanted to take a cute picture of the ice cream against the wall...but honestly, it just wasn't too cute of an artwork (like its sister locations). In fact, it was hard to find a spot by the wall where the ice cream will look decent. Just way too busy...and again, the mix of colors just didn't pop at all. I just wasn't too impressed with the overall store presentation. In fact, it was hard to imagine this was the same chain as its other locations in Charlotte, especially to its cute sister in Southend. Its ice cream was a mixed blessing. I loved one of the 2 flavors I chose (Pralines 'n Cream?)...but the Red Velvet was really bland. Actually, my husband said that for me! I will say, however, that the 2 scoops were super-generous...it was almost equivalent to 4 scoops overall. The waffle cone was quite big as well. So YAY to its generous portions and pricing. Again, I've had their ice cream at other sister locations, and I've always thought they come second only to Jeni's Splendid. Also, the service was good. One of the staff members noticed that I was trying to take pics of the wall, and offered to take a pic of us. Sadly, the pic didn't come out too well. Again, that wall art didn't flatter the ice cream...or people (us) lol. Sorry, but this is just my personal opinion. I'm really glad Rock Hill finally has a good creamery...but guess I just hoped it would be cuter? Still, the ice cream was good on the most part...and we'll probably be back for more.

    I've been wanting to try this. We loved it. My daughter got "rainbow" ice cream. It was like shaved ice and definitely delicious. We also got blueberry cheesecake ice cream. It was smooth and creamy and the cheesecake chunks in it were amazing.

    Good icecream. Multiple options for dairy freedom. Open to a deli/drink area where groups play board games.

    I loved the ice cream and the variety they have there. The patio area is very nice and a great place to enjoy your ice cream with friends.

    My family enjoyed all the different flavors we got. Their coffee flavored ice cream is the best I've ever tasted!

The staff is always so friendly and fun, with great wine and food recommendations, and always enjoy the weekend local bands/artists they bring in too. I almost always leave with a new favorite wine, and usually a bottle or two to bring home.

    We swung in here again after a brisk walk around the Riverwalk trail...where we actually saw a deer…read moreat petting distance! Seems some have become domesticated? This time, my Sangria was awesome...meaning, it had a ton of fruit (Mango?), and the Red Wine even had a sweet flavor to it. In the past, it was a fruitless Sangria...which was very disappointing. My husband liked his Pinot Noir too. For appetizer, we tried this small Hummus plate, which came with this Dip and Olives...all of which were amazing, especially for its friendly pricing. The place was also nicely air conditioned, with great overhead music. The only downfall was that there wasn't a waiter/waitress. This bartender had to do it all, it seems. He was friendly, and did it well...but thought they could use a waiter/waitress, given the number of folks waiting to be served. In any case, thought I should bump up the ratings to 4 stars. This place is a Must-Have at this Riverwalk location (a perfect pitstop after a long walk!), so I hope it continues to thrive.
