This came highly recommended, so I was very excited to stop by! Such a simple concept, but holy smokes was it tasty. Super light and refreshing, with a couple different styles to choose from. Love that you can add toppings like strawberry sauce or coconut flakes to name a few. Perfect location, and in the cutest little set up. And the gal that served us was super sweet as well! Great treat to end a trip to the beach! read more

The Pineapple Hut on Folly Beach is such a fun little treat spot! We got the pineapple whip served in a half pineapple with fresh pineapple chunks, and it was so worth it. It was juicy, refreshing, and absolutely delicious--the perfect beach day dessert. The presentation is super cute too, which makes it even more fun to enjoy (and very Instagram-worthy). Knocking off one star just because it's a bit of a splurge price-wise, but overall, totally worth it for a sweet tropical treat. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

I kept seeing people walking around with a pineapple in their hand, and I knew I had to get one too. Not only was it super aesthetic, but it was also so good! It reminded me of a Dole Whip like creamy, a little tart, and just the right amount of sweetness. Definitely a refreshing treat, especially in this heat. 10/10 would get again! read more

The Pineapple Hut is a small chain of dairy free soft serve huts that opened in Folly Beach, South Carolina in 2006. It was founded by Cody Brooks. With a longtime dream to have his own business, Brooks decided to start one when the opportunity presented itself. He and his wife spent a lot of time in Folly Beach, so they decided to start a business that specialized in soft serve ice cream treats that are dairy-free, gluten-free, cholesterol-free, low-fat, low-calorie, and vegan. The star of the show is 'Pineapple Whip' (better known to visitors to Walt Disney World as 'Dole Whip'), but other flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cherry, orange, raspberry, watermelon, mango, pomegranate, cranberry, and even pumpkin are available on a rotating basis. The Folly Beach location is a food trailer permanently parked at an empty lot at the corner of Center Street and W Eerie Avenue. A second location opened in Downtown Charleston in 2022, while a third (the first brick & mortar location) opened in Myrtle Beach in 2024. My family and I visited the original Pineapple Hut location in Folly Beach this past summer while we were visiting family in town. A week earlier, we had been in Walt Disney World. We were telling our cousins all about Dole Whip, which they had never heard of. We went on Yelp to see if there was anywhere that sells Dole Whip (or something pretty close) in the Charleston Area, and lo and behold we discovered the Pineapple Hut. We visited one afternoon for a cold treat after spending the morning at the beach. The two flavors available that day were pineapple and chocolate. My wife and I ordered and shared the "Paradise Whip" (pineapple whip served inside of a fresh pineapple with pineapple chunks at the base). It was phenomenal! It tasted just as good as the authentic Disney Dole Whip, but the presentation was much fancier! Our cousins opted for a cup of Pineapple-Chocolate Swirl with Sprinkles. We are so happy that we discovered the Pineapple Hut and highly recommend them! read more

The Pineapple Hut was the perfect way to end our day at Folly Beach! On a Sunday evening, there was a short line to order, but it moved quickly. My boyfriend and I got a Paradise Whip to share, which was amazing! The soft serve was dairy-free and came served in a fresh pineapple with pineapple chunks at the bottom. It was SO refreshing and had the perfect level of sweetness. We got some tajin on the side because we weren't sure about the combination, but it was incredible. Highly recommend trying this, if you like a little bit of zest/spice! The girl at the counter was super friendly and they had the cutest merch. Would happily return! read more

I'm totally obsessed with the Pineapple Hut. I've made it a routine to go there every time I'm in Folly Beach because I think about their pineapple whip almost every day. I love that it's vegan and the prices are great! I highly recommend sharing a large with someone else. They have pineapple whip and a rotating special flavor - I've gotten raspberry and watermelon, and they're both totally refreshing and delicious. It's basically soft serve but it feels lighter because it's dairy free (I think they use coconut oil). The little hut is adorable, and the same woman is usually working the hut on weekends. I've always gotten friendly, quick service! read more

This truck offers pineapple-based dairy-free desserts. There is usually a line despite other desserts in the area. I took the option to get my swirl mixed with chunks of fresh pineapple, which was a good decision. The unmistakable tang makes for a beachy experience. It does melt quickly so you'll be lucky to actually make it to the beach with any dessert still frozen. There were some sauces and sprinkles available, but they were mostly high-fructose corn syrup and didn't impress me. It seemed like there might be a card surcharge, and it was a beachy kind of price, but it's a good option to refresh on the way to or from the beach. read more

I get so excited when I see the little window open on this establishment! Not only is it vegan (gluten and dairy free) but it's beautifully delicious!!! Tastes like Disney and makes any day with one as a treat feel like summer! If you e never had one before ... I recommend trying the straight up pineapple. They have options as a float (with pineapple juice), chunky (with pineapple chunks), or this beauty here--- paradise (a mixture of the two). Additionally, you can swirl the flavor of the day with it ... Today it was Cherry... And, cherry is favorite (a lighter version of a screwball front he ice cream trucks back in the day...)! read more

Companion and myself played a guessing game of favorite flavors of ice cream (still "learning" about each other") and we had some decent answers I think I liked my favorite ice cream flavors are better than her favorite and then things got rowdy once she started making fun of whoppers and she called me a 3 year old and I called her inconsiderate then she threw the ice cream at my new favorite shoes. It ended fine we went to the beach and had a very nice time.

Two scoops with caramel sauce!

Center Street Coffee

Center Street Coffee is such a charming little spot right in the heart of Folly Beach. It has that…read morecozy, small-town coffee shop vibe but with plenty of space to relax and enjoy your drink. We ordered two Americanos, a mini chocolate croissant, and a mini cinnamon roll--everything came to just under $20. The pastries were small but tasty, and the coffee was smooth and well-balanced. I really loved the atmosphere--laid-back, beachy, and welcoming. The outdoor seating area is clean, spacious, and perfect for soaking up the salty air. Pets are welcome on the patio too, which made it even better. Inside, there was only one woman working during our visit, but she was friendly and handled everything with ease. You add your own milk and sugar after ordering, which gives it that casual local feel (though if you want almond milk, they'll add it for you behind the counter). It's a great little spot to start your morning before heading to the beach or exploring Folly's shops and surf scene.

Love the cute new space for one of my favorite local coffee spots! The pastries are delicious and…read morethey offer really unusual coffee drinks. The staff are friendly and work fast! I also love the new outdoor seating space.

Gilbert's Ice Cream

I looked up ice cream recommendations on my drive to Wilmington from Charleston and found this Gem:…read moreGilbert's Ice Cream. The ambiance is cute country chic, with exceptional customer service to match it. The store is clean, the ice cream is made fresh, and you get to sample all the flavors you want. After one small taste of Bourbon Butter Pecan, I was sold! I went with one scoop with a Waffle cone and boy..... That more than enough! It was delish! But you have to try it yourself when passing by!

Fantastic ice cream and service. It's a small place with some outside tables. Lots of flavors and…read moreoptions. Great find in the Pawleys area. We were so anxious to eat the ice cream, didn't take pictures.

Hawaiian Shaved Ice

This is actually next to Ocean Surf Shop and in a cart, so it doesn't have an address…read more I was excited to find Shaved Ice in the Charleston area! Too bad it wasn't very good. The top layer of the cup was pretty good, but after than, it had no flavor at all. They had a few choices, but could have a lot more. Maybe I've been spoiled by REAL shaved ice places, such as Waiola's in Hawai'i and Hansen's in NOLA, but this one doesn't even come close. My search continues.

Ok. Gave this place another chance and was met with friendlier service and yummy ice. Hopefully…read morethey keep it up!
