    The Pineapple Hut has the best ice cream I have ever had in my entire life. As someone with medical issues who also has to live dairy free, finding desserts that I can actually enjoy without pain, discomfort, or guilt has always been incredibly difficult. This was the first time in my life that I was able to enjoy something sweet completely guilt free, and it honestly meant more to me than I can put into words. Not only was it absolutely delicious, but it gave me the chance to enjoy a treat that so many people take for granted. What made the experience even more special was Regan V., who helped me during my visit. She was the absolute sweetest person I encountered in all of Charleston. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine care made an already amazing experience unforgettable. I will recommend The Pineapple Hut everywhere I go. I'm in loveeeee! The quality, flavor, customer service, and overall experience are unmatched. I would gladly drive four hours one way just to come back again. If you're considering stopping by, do yourself a favor and go!!! you won't regret it! I went twice before I left lol

    I have been trying to make a stop at pineapple Hutt for the past couple years and I may be mistaken but I believe it used to have limited hours and was food truck so I was excited to see expanded hours and location! I definitely wasn't expecting it to be where it was but it's on the street running parallel to the city market. The line was long and the credit card machine was down so I had to get cash. However, the time I returned, it was up and running. I went with the peach and pineapple and it was good- peach tasted more on the artificial flavor but at least it's low calorie healthier choice! It is dairy free, vegan, gluten free, low calorie but honestly I'd have to say it looks better than it tastes. It's ice cream but it's not creamy- more so tastes like an icee but regardless, was refreshing and glad I finally had a chance to try it!

    I've been hearing about this place for ages and finally got to try it today while visiting Folly - and it absolutely did not disappoint! I went with a regular pineapple and cherry swirl, and it was sooo good. On such a hot day, it was the perfect sweet treat to help cool me down. Honestly, I'd eat this every day if I could. This spot is a must-visit when you're in Folly!

    Ordered a couple pineapple whips at the mermaid's festival on Folly. Yummy not too sweet! I'll be back for another refreshing treat!

    This is a must have if you're around Charleston. It was so light and refreshing. Perfect sweet treat option.

    The pineapple float wasn't as good as my beloved dole whip float at Disney, and it was FAR smaller than in the pictures. It was also $7.46, which is much more expensive than pictured.

    I love pineapple so much that I came here twice during my visit to Charleston (in case you were wondering, yes, I was definitely the weird kid who liked pineapples on my pizza--and still do)! I was already sold on the pineapple whip alone but if you want to take it up a notice and upgrade, the Pineapple Float and Paradise Whip (basically a pineapple float IN a pineapple) will win you over either way. I couldn't bring myself to get the Paradise Whip since it comes in a huge portion, but I so would if I didn't come on a nearly full stomach on both occasions. There aren't a lot of non-dairy or lighter ice cream options nearby so this is the perfect refreshing treat if you need a lighter pick-me-up. It's a great spot with plenty of seating outside of a food hall in a super busy area to chill out. This town has many by-the-scoop ice cream shops but this is a great choice if you ever want something different!

    Very tasty pineapple soft serve. My first time in SC having this. I heard it's a Southern thing.

    My beloved Pineapple Hut! So light and refreshing, great pineapple flavor, and getting it IN the half pineapple with pineapple chunks at the bottom is for sure the way to go. It's a little cart/shop front and if you blink you might miss it, but it's so worth a visit while you're walking out and about downtown Charleston. The girl behind the counter was super friendly too.

    Grabbed a pineapple soft serve here, and it was pretty good. Smooth texture, refreshing flavor, and the price was fair. I just wish it had a bit more tartness to cut through the sweetness. Service was straightforward and efficient--no frills, just gets the job done. No seating, so it's strictly a grab-and-go spot, but it's convenient. Wouldn't mind stopping by again.

    If you are visiting Folly Beach, SC, this is the place to get a nice ice cream dessert! My husband and I stopped by while we were walking around the small downtown of Folly Beach. It was centrally located & easy to find. Even though 1 person was running the "hut", we were served and ready to go within 5-7 minutes during the afternoon rush. I ordered the chunky whip which included the pineapple dole whip with pineapple chunks & chocolate sauce. It was delicious!

    The pineapple dole whip is very tasty. I am so excited that they opened downtown! The Pineapple Hut never disappoints!

The line moved quickly, nonetheless. The team was friendly and let me take my time ordering. The cake slices are just as delicious as they are giant. I had the red velvet and my grandparents got carrot cake. Everyone was happy. The cake was fresh, moist and flavorful. The red velvet didn't have much chocolate, but it was still great. I prefer a pretty chocolate dense red velvet but this was delivered well.

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.
