    the entrance to a store
    Sarah I.

    The fudge is pre- sliced and you HAVE to buy an entire slice. And then it's weighed. You can't choose which slice either. So it's about a pound of fudge or nothing. How bizarre! The fudge is decent. If you want to eat some fudge right there, there are some weak plastic knives to cut the fudge with. This did not work. So we asked for it to be cut by the server. She went and got a large slicing knife. She would not let us do it. She had to do it. And then she couldn't follow instructions. "Cut this way and that, no over here..." well at least we had a laugh. My friend then went around the store and started giving pieces of fudge out!!! We had a blast!!! Overall- this is a tourist trap. The fudge was not flavorful, just very very very sweet, which is to be expected. Perhaps go here for some ice cream or a candy apple. Fudge? Unless you want a pound! I do not recommend this place

    We were greeted upon entry! I sampled the "Nans Banana Puddin and Strawberry Cheesecake"! Both were good so I ordered one of each scoop in a waffles cone! The ice cream was rich and flavorful! ! The staff was very inviting and helpful! I would definitely visit again! One scoop is plenty! They also have other treats! Stop by and enjoy!

    LOVED their ice cream. They had great choices and so many to choose from. I loved the coconut and chocolate one. I can't remember the other one we got, but it was delicious too. Very nice staff. Gave BIG portions for the money which we loved.

    I blame myself for this misstep because I was TRYING to go to Kilwins but walked up the wrong side of Market like a novice, and let my child's whining sway me into a decision I knew would be bad. The Fudgery was super crowded, so I convinced myself maybe it was better than I remembered, but alas. In case you are unfamiliar, Ashby's Sterling is basically food-service ice cream, like the kind that arrived at your university on a semi or the kind that you've paid too much for at a hotel Marriott, only to wonder why it's so aggressively mediocre. I'd just received terrible news from back home - The Parlour, Durham's most delicious hand-crafted ice cream, was releasing a tiny batch of my very favorite flavor while I was away: key lime pie. Oh, yay! The Fudgery has KLP too! All is not lost! EXCEPT IT IS TERRIBLE AND EVERYTHING IS AWFUL AND WHAT CIRCLE OF HELL AM I IN. Fortunately, I adhere to the "always sample" skeptics' methodology, so I scrapped my limey dreams in favor of something coffee that was tolerable. Two very small single scoops, in cups, no add-ins, plus a piece of fudge = $26. Seriously. I know. Outrageous.

    I even questioned if it was in fact, buttercream, since it was so white when I was assured, it was actually cream cheese

    Serious disappointment. When you ask if it is a cream cheese frosting or a buttercream and they lie straight to your face and charge you $11 for a slice of cake only to find out it is not what they told you it was means I will not be returning there for any sweet tooth cravings, I will be returning to Kaminsky's again!

    As I completed my shopping tour in Historic Down-Town Charleston and finished grabbing up some stone ground yellow grits, I heard this awesome song coming from the Fudgery about free Fudge. I peered in and started salivating at the many flavors of fudge and ice cream that filled the freezer and shelves. The aroma was intoxicating and I felt like a kid in a candy store. After sampling some rocky road, Lucy came from around the corner and helped usher the line into some sort of order and convinced me that their Mango smoothie was going to be a number One Hit. She prepared it quickly and also made me smile with a generous military discount! I had to agree she was right because the smoothie was fantastic and it is definitely a number One in my book. I graciously sipped it as I continued my stroll down King Street. A +++++++++, I will return on my next trip from Texas :)

    Didn't eat fudge in the fudgery but the ice cream was pretty good! Big scoop and crunchy waffle cone!

    They have bubblegum ice cream!
    Catherine P.

    I only had their ice cream and finally found my bubblegum ice cream that baskin Robbins used to have. It was just the way I remember it bubble gum pieces and all! I also bought a candy apple (the red one) to have later. The only bad thing about this place was I had to buy my ice cream and candy apple in separate purchases because I couldn't checkout on the ice cream side with a candy apple.

    Nice fudge spot in Charleston. Great service and unlimited samples! The salted caramel fudge was best!

    The maple, the chocolate and just about every other kind of fudge came home with us minus a few bites.

Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert. I would probably come back here again, but not so late at night so there would be fresher cake with more options available.

    We gave Kaminsky's Dessert Cafe a second try, but unfortunately they couldn't redeem themselves. On…read moreboth visits, service was lacking. We waited about 5 to 10 minutes to be acknowledged while two employees stood nearby. The two layer chocolate caramel pecan cake, which our waitress initially could not find, was dry and tasted stale. I would not order it again. The Tollhouse pie was a bit better, but the presentation and the whipped cream were the standouts, and the whipped cream wasn't even homemade! That's the best thing I could say about our experience. The food, pricing, service, and ambiance all fell below average. When you are located downtown with so many great dessert options around, you really need to step up your game. We will not be returning.

However, I made a promise that I would only have sugar if it's GOOD sugar, and I found that at Off Track. I just loved it here. "It's too expensive" - get over it, that's what you pay for high quality. "There's a huge line" - grab a pint of B&J at Harris Teeter instead and call it a night. Finally went last night with my date du jour and, as expected, HUGE line which didn't bother me at all. It moved fairly quickly, but would have moved more so if a few overweight women in line didn't ask to sample every flavor. One benefit of the long line is it gave me the chance to change my mind a total of nineteen times before hitting the register, finally opting for a fresh waffle cone loaded with peanut butter pie and fudgy chocolate brownie. A+ on the ice cream - creamy and delicious, just like my date du jour. Only slight (and I mean SLIGHT) complaint was how thin the waffle cone was, causing the ice cream to drip all over me (again, just like my date du jour). We got two double cones for about $21, and I'd pay that again. Super high quality and the ice cream was not overly sweet. I absolutely loved the big chunks of peanut butter in the one and massive chunk of brownie in the other. Made me feel like I was having a "ménage a trios" in my mouth. Also, the ladies who worked the front line killed it last night, and were sweet with smiles, which is increasingly rare, especially given the chaos on a hot Friday night. On Monday, I will before forced back on my sugar fast, but the next time I want a hit of "good" sugar, I will walk down the street to Off Track. Great service, delicious calories, and interesting selections. Vincent Vega may have a heart attack when he sees the $9.95 shake, but do yourself a favor and splurge, because "C'est la vie."

I had heard it was one of the best ice cream spots in Charleston, so we had to try it--and it did not disappoint! They have a huge variety of ice cream flavors and tons of fun toppings you can add, like whipped cream, pretzels, sprinkles, almonds, and more. We ordered the chocolate fudgy brownie ice cream and added pretzels on top, which gave it the perfect sweet-and-salty combination! Everything tasted delicious, and it was the perfect treat while exploring the area. If you're walking around King Street and craving ice cream, this spot is definitely worth stopping by!
