I had never heard of this chain, and when I first walked by this location in Plaza I was curious about a new ice cream spot unaware that it was a chain at all. It's not surprising because this is one of only 3 locations in North Carolina, though they have over 200 stores across the country. We were craving some ice cream and decided to check it out. The employees were super friendly and happy to hand out some samples. One thing to note is that while it appears they have adopted the technique of the well known chain Coldstone Creamery, Marble Slab actually invented this technique and thus Coldstone is copying them! Yes according to the web it was Marble Slab that pioneered the method of mixing ice cream on a cold granite stone all the way back in 1983! Gotta love their creativity and it's clear that it has taken off. Now their ice cream is a little pricy, but you are allowed unlimited mix ins, so if you want a couple scoops of your favorite flavor without the extra add ons, this might not be the best place. But if you want to try something a little out there and flex your creative muscles, then this is a fun place to experiment with new flavors. I don't eat as much ice cream as I used to, so it's unlikely I'll be come a regular. That being said I enjoyed my visit and would certainly return if I found myself craving a frozen sugary treat. read more

Marble Slab Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Went here today cause i was craving some ice cream. Didn't know that this was a marble slab in this area. The parking is not the best as a lot of people just park in the spot and walk around the central area. But we went inside and man this place was clean and bright. Was surprise that it was a cookie store too. We got a banana split and man did it hit the spot. You get to pick 3 favors and any toppings you want. They had about 20 flavors and a ton of different mix in or toppings. The people working there were friendly! they had a large variety of cookies and brownie also. Red velvet brownie definitely worth the try. Overall had a great experience and will be stopping by again when in the area! read more

Best ice cream cake ever! [ called ahead to order and they had it ready and as ordered at the time specified for pick up .Fabulous friendly service too! read more

Ice cream was unremarkable. Not many flavors. Not a fan of them mixing in ingredients after the fact

2 baby scoops for 10 bucks! The nerve of asking for a tip, too! Next time, I'm going across to HT and purchase Tillamook Oregon Dark Cherry ($5.99 for 48oz) with stupid large half pieces of cherries. I'm gonna get a spoon and eat it right in front of this place with my friend. Let's see how insulated the owner feels. read more

Just had a waffle cone here - child scoop of sweet cream ice cream. I am in heaven. Cone was fresh and not too sugary. Great service. They noticed we had a pup and offered her a treat cup. Cute interior - we will be back! read more

Walked down Central Ave after dinner with the kiddos when we ran across this gem. It's fairly new to me as I did not know this ice cream shop was at this location. We walked inside, and it was not busy at all. The employees were super nice and polite, and they did not mind giving ice cream samples to the kids. They have a lot of different ice cream flavors to choose from. They also sell Milkshakes, ice cream cookie sandwiches, cookies, cookie cake, and what looked like cookie push-up pops (unfortunately, I did not take a pic). So you definitely have a lot of other options if you do not want ice cream. It's located right off Central Ave, so parking can be difficult It may be better to just walk to this location. I did see they do have a drive-thru window, so that is always a plus, especially if you are having trouble finding parking. The inside was very clean and had a great ambiance. Nice location, and I wouldn't mind going again whenever I'm in the area. read more

For my very first time in Plaza Midwood I had to stop at the ice cream shop. I had never heard of marble slab before, but I wanted to try it out. I entered the building not realizing that they had a side service window (super cool). Parking is free but a hassle since the area has so many businesses. Luckily, I found a spot and walked the area. I asked for vanilla ice cream with brownie pieces. It was yummy! Next time I visit I want to try their cookies. read more

Marble Slab Creamery - Fudge Brownie Delight Sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

If you need a sugar fix this may be your quick stop to meet your need! There's plenty of street parking in a lot behind the store that you can park in. This is a combination store where you get ice cream and cookies. They have a variety of items on the menu. The oh that's so sweet aroma hits you when you walk in. Came in on a dreary weekday. I decided to try the ice cream cookie sandwich. They select warm cookies. I got a strawberry cookie and a rainbow sprinkle cookie filled with rum ice cream. It was very delicious. I ended up eating most separately because the ice cream was melting quickly due to the warm cookies. The place is clean and the staff was fine with service. All staff wore mass covering their nose and mouth. They also allow you to taste the flavors of ice cream prior to purchase. Hope you enjoy! read more

Perfect place to get your dessert fix. You have the cookies and ice cream options. They have deals on the cookies and brownies that include purchasing a certain number and getting some free. (IE. buy 5 cookies and get one free). They also have deals on some of the packaged ice cream which includes buying 2 quarts and getting 1 free. There's a loyalty program so be sure to provide your phone number with every purchase in order to save in the future. Enjoy the ice cream with some of your favorite mix-ins or the cookies as cookie sandwiches. read more

Great find. This used to be Duke Bread in Plaza and we discovered they are now Marble Slab Creamery. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the yummy waffle cones and cookie cakes. THE COOKIE CAKES... AHHHH! So, I loved them as a kid and haven't found a place other than the mall to buy them until now. I fully intend on getting my next birthday cookie cake from MSC! While we where here today, I got the cheesecake ice cream in a waffle bowl. YUM! I asked for cheesecake bites to add but they didn't have that topping. No worries through, it was good enough on its own. The parking spaces are plentiful so don't worry if you are driving through the Plaza and want to stop in for some yummy creamy ice cream. It's totally worth it. Oh, the service was amazing too!!! We will certainly be back!! read more

Marble Slab Creamery - Cheesecake ice cream YUM! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

my sister and I came out of a nearby business ready to head north toward the house when I looked up and saw signage for a cookies and ice cream joint. it occurs to me that especially in my doctor-recommended healthful state of living I notice these establishments more than ever :-( went inside to have a peek and was met with a fine "How do you do?" before I could get oriented. originally I was thinking getting a kiddie cone of some mild toxicity (which is to say: deliciousness!) for me a cookie or two for MLB but in my startle-ment we instead acquired a box of treats and a sugar cookie push-up (I know, we all should have such problems...) managed to get it all home without sneaking a bite of any of it and now my lovely bride and my sister (they're two different people) have an abundance of sweet to nibble for a while: one each peanut butter, cheese cake, chocolate brownie plus another red velvet. I can't say for myself but the rumor going around has it they are quite good :-) read more

This is my favorite ice cream store. I don't know what all the hate is from but every time I go I have a great experience.

Tried this new ice cream shop that opened up in the neighborhood. It's similar to a cold stone creamery where you order a base, then pick toppings and they mix them in on the "marble slab" also similar to a baked bear type place where you can make a custom cookie ice cream sandwich. I like that it's unlimited toppings and no charge per topping - that's good when you're like me and order 5 toppings, but can be annoying if you only want 1/2 mix-in's. Also, they don't advertise the prices anywhere on their menu, so we had to ask the person working there the cost for an ice cream. She had to go ask someone else because she didn't even know. Also, I got a chocolate dipped waffle cone w heath on it. It looked so good so I wanted to try, however the cone was completely stale and not good at all. I know they cant make each cone to order, but it tasted like it was a few days old. Overall, I think there are better ice cream spots in the area, but this is a good option if you like having many mix-in's/customization. read more

Came in for some ice cream with friends and the minute I walked in three employees looked at me, as I said hello, and nobody responded - then they looked back down. Then they did this one more time, before looking up and asking hey how are you? They took my order, and the ice cream was great. They had really cute decorations everywhere and signs that say "the first cookie cake" - the cookie shop was connected inside. Also, the prices are a little expensive but I didn't expect any less. It was $7 for my ice cream. Another $7 for a chocolate milkshake. read more

Cookies and ice cream in the same place! They have a wide variety of both cookies and ice cream flavors and occasionally switch them up. The ice cream is good, the cookies (M&M Doozies are a must try) are good, and both are even better together. They have a wide variety of toppings as well. read more

Ice cream was delicious! Kinda like a cold stone concept but honestly just a good as cold stone if not better.

Great milkshake, I didn't have a chance to try the ice cream but the establishment was nice and I'll definitely be going again.

Horrible.... total disappointment. The service was soooo bad. After the long wait. The ice cream was even worse. Never going back

Driest most inedible brownie I've ever had. There was a plastic or chemical taste. Is it food coloring? Fake chocolate? I can't tell but I'm not eating the treat I was craving because I don't want to risk getting sick. I would not recommend the fudge brownies to anyone. read more

We've enjoyed having Marble Slab on Central this summer. It's nice to have off street parking and the place is bright and clean with lots and lots - like countless- choices in terms of flavor-cone-cup-cookie-mix in combinations. Staff is on top of things. read more
