We were helped by someone I believe was named Julie or Julia (I'm not great with names), and we ended up chatting a bit because she used to live in New York too. She was so warm with the kids and let us sample just about every flavor, which made the whole experience feel really personal. The ice cream itself is fantastic--creative flavors, but also genuinely delicious. You can taste the homemade quality in every bite. I had coconut and dark chocolate, the kids had vanilla, dark chocolate, and watermelon mint, and my husband also really enjoyed his choices (though I can't remember exactly what he picked). Overall, it was just a really pleasant stop with great ice cream and exceptional service. It's also right next to Origin Pizza, which is another spot we'd definitely recommend.

Any ice cream can be made into soft serve. Flavors are amazing! I had Cookie Crunch with Biscoff cookies! Delicious!!!!! The place is light, airy and the owners (?) were pleasant and accommodating. My husband ordered the peanut butter malted milkshake and the owner suggested how he liked it extra peanut and made it for my husband at no extra charge! Free samples!!! We will definitely stop back when in town again!!!

After ordering and getting one scoop was told well you still pay the same price for the one as the two scoop. Why in the world would I think this if I'm getting half the amount when asking for a kids? Would never return.

The one I finally selected was called Bonita Gator Tracks, described as vanilla ice cream with thick swirls of fudge and loaded with crushed Reese cups. There was that good traditional combination of fudge and ice cream, with some large pieces of peanut butter coated with chocolate. The place was nice, a few tables inside where we camped out, one wall with photos of people enjoying their treats. The person filling our orders did fine. Someone else in our group paid for the scoops so I wasn't paying enough attention to have an opinion on the cost.

Though advertised as homemade ice cream, their product seems to come from a company called Yoders. Disappointing, but the ice cream was still tasty. The Kahlua ice cream had great flavor and I'm a sucker for unique flavors. The price point isn't all that bad either, which Ben & Jerry's walking distance away charging 3x more, it makes this treat a steal. The ice cream itself could be a bit fresher, as it tasted freezer burnt. The staff here could also be a bit friendlier. Overall, Big Olaf's isn't what I remember it being, but if you're looking for a cheap scoop when walking around St Armands it is worth a visit.

We were excited to try Big Olaf's, but we walked in to find a store that could definitely do with…read moresome updates. The man behind the counter was responsive but not terribly friendly. Of course the ice cream was still good--it's ice cream!!--but some of it seemed a little stale/crystallized, like it hadn't turned over in a while. The tables were small and chairs could have been cute, but their metal seemed rusty and the tables were obviously in need of replacing. As we ate our ice cream (mint chip, pistachio, my daughter had cheesecake and my husband had white chocolate raspberry, his favorite), I looked at the billboard behind them... There were old cartoons probably cut out 15+ years ago, and an ancient map of St. Armand's circle. The cartoons and map had drips of ice cream on them and were faded and torn. There was a fun fact about ice cream...from 1999. We might have caught them on an off day, but I was not impressed. They're also "cash only" and had a faded picture of George Bush and a Charlie Kirk hat on display... Overall, they need to do a deep clean, refresh their decor and perhaps implement some payment technology to join us in 2026.
