    My first time stopping by and I was not disappointed! The staff were friendly and there was a huge menu of endless toppings to choose from. The prices were very reasonable! There is plenty of seating available to dine in and enjoy your sweet treat. There is also merchandise available to purchase, so definitely check it out. Parking is onsite and accessible restroom are available as well.

    We just moved to the area and we've been looking for our new ice cream spots. Turbo came highly suggested and it was alright. Service was really good. The young staff is nice and quick. The free stickers made my kid happy and even my wife. Prices are a bit inflated IMO, but this may just be the area. Parking was easy on a Saturday afternoon. I like the outdoor seating and shade. It's a nice place to stop with a ton of families and kids hanging out. I also love the store shirt. I found the chocolate soft serve a bit dull though. The vanilla is much better. Sprinkles were really good and the mixed ice cream and candy options are nice. We will try some other places but we will also be back.

    So happy I found this little slice of delicious coned heaven! GF, DF and so many options for a sweet treat. I love that they have the Pineapple that's basically like a Dole Whip (it's GF, DF & vegan to boot). The Non Dairy Vanilla is a classic and goes well with all the other flavors. I am obsessed with the Iceberg. Couldn't decide between a Slushie or Ice Cream and this does it all!!! It's soft serve on top of a delicious iced slush. Many options to mix and match the flavors. Our current favorite Icebergs are - DF Vanilla in Grape / Pineapple in Peach / Swirled Vanilla & Pineapple in Blue Raspberry. Wish they had a GF cone option but don't hate it since the slush only requires a cup! Soooo very much love that it's affordable & appreciate that they are open til 10 and have outside tables so you don't feel bad swinging in last minute and taking a treat to go!

    Perfect summer treat on a hot day! I've been wanting to stop here and finally made it. I'll definitely be back this summer.

    It's always a chill spot to get dessert. It is very awesome and above the tip of the iceberg. The staff are really nice and accommodating for customers that have gluten intolerance, sensitivities, celiac, et cetera and handle food allergies excellent.

    We love this ice cream. They don't have any indoor seating but ample outdoors with easy parking and a bathroom. The menu is vast and has something for everyone. They accommodated my husband's nut allergy well which we always appreciate. Highly recommend!

    Ok, I ordered a twist in a waffle cup. Now can I finish it?

    Who doesn't love a soft-serve ice cream cone? Turbo's got that and more. I had a choco-vanilla twist in a waffle cup, and could've had soft serve mango or a mix-in mash, milkshake, and more. I enjoyed my cup under the roof of their outdoor seating, but I saw most customers take their choices away. My ice cream was delish, and the waffle cup was crispy and a satisfying ending. I'll be back.

    Love this ice cream spot! Be aware they have overflow parking on a side street. It's staffed by mostly high school aged kids but they're fast and friendly. Lots of picnic tables to choose from under a big cover. The hurricone is my favorite - get the turbo cone crunch in it!

    Don't trust their hours!!!! Closed at 9:24 on a Thursday night. Drove out of our way after dinner for soft serve. Awful.

    Definitely our favorite soft serve in the area. I stick with old faithful, the chocolate and vanilla twist with rainbow sprinkles. Brings me back to my childhood! The good old days! My boyfriend likes to mix it up. Below is vanilla soft serve with strawberry shortcake topping. This place is always hopping, very-low key and service is quick. Outdoor seating only, but there is a public restroom. Love that they are always playing 80's jams.

    Turbo Cone takes me right back to my childhood. It's an old-fashioned, outdoor ice cream shop where you order and pick up at the window. They serve classic flavors like chocolate and vanilla twist, along with Dole Whip--my go-tos, always topped with rainbow sprinkles. The shop's simple, cute vibe adds to its charm, making it a perfect spot for a sweet, nostalgic treat.

    It's hard to find chocolate dipped soft serve ice cream anywhere in Charleston and they have 3 flavors!

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.
