    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!

    Cute spot. Generous portions. I ordered a single serve of pralines and cream and it was just enough ice cream.

    Offensively loud music. I could not hear the person behind the counter or the people I was with.

    I want to start by saying this is not the first, second, or even third time I've had a poor…read moreexperience at this location. Unfortunately, there seems to be a consistent lack of customer service, consideration, and basic empathy. During my most recent visit, the woman I spoke with...who had glasses and shoulder length hair...was in the middle of making soap, which I understood she couldn't immediately stop. However, when I explained what I was looking for, instead of offering assistance or even a bit of understanding, I felt completely brushed off. This same dismissive attitude has been present every time I've visited. Because of these repeated experiences, I will no longer be a customer, and I won't be recommending this business to anyone...

    I revisited this place once in a long time...and I was sad to see that most of the merchandise was…read moregone! There were only a sprinkling of items on sale (like a few T-shirts, sunglasses, and some miscellaneous items), so still a bit to check out. More than retail, it seems the place is now more of an artsy crafty place than a retail store. The entire place looked bigger...more space, since less retail. I thought they should have had some overhead music to fill the empty space, and give it more of a vibe. They still had this bar area, where they served wine (aside from the Jackass Cafe in the back). Still, I love the big, wide, open space that this place has to offer...and its Bohemian vibe. And did I mention their awesome artwork on their walls - both inside and out? I left the store thinking I should partake in their jewelry making on my next visit!
