The service was okay, not the best. They were also being racist because I'm a bit brown, so I was a little confused, and they charged me extra for no reason. I think it's because it was the spoon, but it didn't make sense!! never coming back. I also found a fly. A FLY in my frozen yogurt, and when I was putting my frozen yogurt in my cup, I swear it was a bit brown for vanilla, and once I was done, I saw a roach. Also, the atmosphere was very moist; it did smell a bit funny, and when I put some hand sanitizer on it, it smelled horrible. TERRIBLE. It smelled like a dead animal!!

Traveling from out of town and decided to swing by for some ice cream…read more They have the Hershey's glass cased ice cream which looked great but unfortunately did not get. We went for the frozen yogurt machines where they had a few good flavors. If you are familiar with Sweet Frog, the concept very similar. 2/5 star rating because the toppings were not fresh tasting or quality like. Oreos were not actual oreos but alternative like Oreo branded cookie. Brownie was super hard and dry and eating into it crumbled immediately. I got hot fudge and the pump seemed to encounter some issues as the worker said she just filled it but after 10 pumps of air, I received maybe 1 pump worth. I gave up on the hot fudge. The environment itself was great. Very kid friendly, colorful, and had a lot of heart to it. It was roomy and looks like the host birthday parties there as well. Again, unsure if I came on a bad day but it was not enjoyable and wish I had saved money and got the Hershey's scooped ice cream instead.

This review involves both Celtic Creamery and DoorDash…read more If you order from Celtic Creamery through DoorDash, be aware. My last two orders had major issues. On 6/4, my order arrived completely melted because the ice cream had leaked through a paper lunch bag after the containers weren't properly closed. I figured "mistakes happen" and let it go. However, my most recent order (6/23) arrived with only one of the three items I paid for ( on a $45+ order). I remember not too long ago when businesses took more ownership of problems like this. I know DoorDash can issue a partial refund, but that isn't really the point. I paid for a service and tonight when something went wrong, everyone just pointed somewhere else. The part I can't get past is that LITERALLY no one could tell me where the rest of my order went. Like, hello?! The driver said there were no additional bags. So I called Celtic Creamery and the guy on the phone said they had tried to tell him there were multiple bags as the dasher left (which I have a hard time believing when the dasher was a 5 star dasher with over 1k ratings.) But if that's true...then where did the other $27 of my order go? What surprised me even more was that NO ONE offered a practical solution. If the missing items were still at the shop, I would have gladly driven over to pick them up. Even something as simple as, "We're sorry. Come pick up the rest of your order, and here's a free scoop or a small gift card for the inconvenience," would have gone a long way toward keeping me as a customer. Instead, the conversation ended with little more than an apology and no real attempt to resolve what happened. A lack of ownership is what lost my business. While DoorDash shares *some* responsibility, these issues have happened with different drivers on multiple orders from Celtic Creamery, which makes me question the store's packaging and order verification process. If a business chooses to offer delivery, orders should be packaged securely and verified before they leave the store--especially when signature desserts cost $12 or more a piece. The ice cream itself is good. Our first order was excellent, which makes these last two experiences even more disappointing. Unfortunately, repeated problems with missing items, melted deliveries, and a lack of accountability mean I won't be ordering from Celtic Creamery again.

What a great find on Holden Beach!!…read more If you asked my husband or son, they would give this place a solid 5 stars, but my single scoop of Sea Turtle ice cream was supposed to have salted Carmel, fudge swirls and pecans in it. After 2 bites from the top, my entire scoop was plain vanilla! It was still very good but disappointing. We arrived at 8:30pm on a Saturday evening and stood in a fast-moving line that gave us each time to choose from their long list of homemade ice cream flavors! My husband and I each ordered a scoop of Sea turtle. Our son ordered their new flavor, mocha latte: coffee ice cream with chocolate chips. Both flavors (mine was 99.9% vanilla) were delicious. The waffle cones were warm and crispy! I may have to go back tomorrow and give it another try!

Also have lots of ice cream options. Seemed as if the ice cream was homemade. They do have coffee drinks as well. There's also a cold case for drinks to go. Ordered 2 donuts that were on their menu - lemonade & fruity pebbles. Both were good. Also ordered cappuccino crunch and some chocolate peanut butter mix ice creams. Got both in a cup. They were tasty. Originally wanted other flavors, but they were out. We tried 3 other options - all gone. Understandable since they are super busy, but their menu is on a screen so would think it would be easy to take off the flavors not available so that while waiting in line people can be better prepared. There's a form for donuts that you can grab while in line to write your order. Once you close to the cashier they take it from you so that your donuts are made fresh to order. The service was great and they did get the long line down quickly. Super friendly and patient staff. There are tables and some seating outside for once you order. However, they need to double it as there isn't enough to support the amount of customers that are there. You may be standing or sitting on your car eating your treats. There also wasn't one trash can to be found outside. Which many that everyone had to come on to the already filled small space to throw away their trash. The inside is kinda hectic. You wait for your ice cream and then pay to the right. Then, you have to cut across the line to leave which means balancing your treats while trying to maneuver around the people in line. Again, they do a great job getting you through the line as fast as possible (really up to the customers making decisions and how quick they are - which being out of flavors caused some rethinking). They do sell merchandise with their super cute logo. Great small local ice cream and donut stop. Can grab some ice cream for dessert and grab fresh donuts for breakfast the next day.

The donuts were small, it almost was like there wasn't enough doughnut for the amount of topping. We had been to OKI donuts on a previous vacation and were happy to see that it was the same owners. We were hoping for the same fantastic donuts. Disappointed that it fell short and especially that it was $29 for a dozen that nobody really wanted to even finish eating.
