    a piece of cake on a plate
    Ari A.

    100% RECOMMEND price wasn't expensive No it's not cake Yes it looks like it. For 200+ calories and such a delicious sweet flavor. YEA! I will be going back and trying the other soooooo many flavors they have! For everyone! If you're looking for a LIGHT melt in your mouth snack. Then yes! I've been wanting to come here for a while and finally had some time and was on the other side of woodruff . I am incredibly happy we stopped in. The service was good as they brought out our meal to us in minutes from when we used the self checkout machine. Which was fine cause I could see the menu better. It was quiet as there was only 2 other people in there. A quick pickup eat and go .

    Our absolute favorite dessert place! My 13yr old and me got a late night craving for some VP, so had a 9pm dessert date. We couldn't decide on our flavors so we each got one and then one to share. We got the strawberry lemonade to share. I got birthday cake and he got sour berry blast. Strawberry lemonade is his new favorite! All were good, but banana cream still remains as my all time favorite. The owner came up and talked to us and even offered us a free sample of his favorite flavor- Taro. YUMM!

    Met the owner and he was EXTREMELY HELPFUL I chose the Mexican candy and it was only 150 something calories.. gotta love that. This dessert is substantial and TASTY! Did I mention it's less calories than a Twix bar?? You have to stop by.

    Mini split

    So much fun! Remember eating "snow cream" as a kid. This brings me back to happy memories. The staff is very friendly and place was clean. Great choices. Next time I think we will try the "snow"flight. 4 different snow treats to try.

    I can't believe how good this place was! I don't know how to explain the texture, but you have to try it! Shaved snow is my new favorite ice cream alternative. The owners were very nice, patient, & accommodating even when we showed up 10 minutes before closing time. We will definitely be back!

    First time trying Vampire Penguin. This was a cool experience to have. The inside dining area had cute decorations and the service was fast. At first , when you go to scoop you expect a texture similar to ice cream but it's shaved ice! Will definitely stop by again when I'm town.

    One on the very right is the banana split, next to it is mint chocolate, slightly to the left is the green jacket, last one is peanut butter

    Not very good and the service was subpar. Won't be back. Go get real Ice cream instead because this is a let down.

It was so dark in there so I could barely see at the end haha. The table we went to was chipping on the side so anytime I moved it caught my dress which I wasn't not a fan of. The double stuffed was more like a soufflé than a cake - the star of that plate was the cheesecake ice cream. The chai mocktail was alright. It had a coffee ice cube which I wasn't a fan of since it was like gritty. 3 drinks and two desserts were $65. I feel like that's insane. Again - I get it, it's an experience but, eh. I feel like I could get better deserts elsewhere and now that I experienced it - I wouldnt be a repeat customer.

My first time was better (pun intended!). The dessert was so-so. I got the Naughty by Nature and the lime was WAY too tart. I wish they had more variation for those who don't want a lot of chocolate or peanut butter. My guy had the Peanut Butter Perversion and said it was too creamy. We may try again one day, but not too soon. I do love the menu process and ease to view options.

    I've wanted to visit Carmella's for some time, and today was the day we made it…read more I'm glad I had GPS, because Carmella's is in a somewhat odd location. You can't drive up to it, so that's a consideration for people with any ambulatory issues. However, there is a parking garage close by, so that will satisfy most people. I drove into the access for the parking garage, and dropped off hubby, as he has had recent foot surgery. I then drove back out to the street and parked. I do like free parking. The area in front of Carmella's is beautiful and expansive. A breeze was blowing, the leaves were moving, and you get to capture that view and feeling inside the restaurant. We sat right at a window. Hubby and I shared the Raspberry Almond Tart (GF) and a Latte. Yeah, it was GOOD. I mean good as in I Could Have Eaten An Entire Tart. But, come on; you know I didn't need that whole thing. Sigh. I can give my full endorsement of Carmella's, and especially their gluten-free tarts. SO delicious.

I will admit that my initial reaction to the Belgium waffle wasn't great. For a dine in experience, being served in a to-go container felt a little off, and the Smucker's syrup didn't exactly help matters. Let's be honest, that's not real maple syrup, and it definitely took away from the presentation. That said, the waffle itself redeemed those first impressions. It was delicious, light, and had this subtle hint of vanilla that made it feel a little more special than your standard waffle. That touch of sweetness and flavor helped me quickly forget my initial disappointment. The breakfast presentation could use a little upgrade, but the taste absolutely delivered.

To my knowledge, this is the best soft serve ice cream you can try out in Greenville SC. They only have vanilla, chocolate, and a flavor of the week. The variety is what you'd expect in any good ice cream shop. In addition to toppings and sauce, their dough cones (also an original) can have a spread inside the cones as well. The nit picky catch I have is based on perspective. Soft serving ice cream is generally not an expensive purchase, but 2 ice cream cones costed $22. Not too different from what you'd get from a regular sized cone at another ice cream parlor, but it will certainly be a lot bigger than this should you prefer quantity. And because this is note worth, the inside is the cleanest ice cream shop in Greenville that I've been to. Crispy Cones is worth visiting though! Whether you are someone who wants to try something new with someone or your partner, or perhaps look to be a regular. *P.S. - Their "ice cream for dinner" merch looked nice and made from premium cotton for $25

    We first discovered this place on my first Yelp Elite event, and we've been coming back ever since!…read more It has quickly become one of my wife and kids' favorite spots. We stopped in again Sunday, and even though the place was BUSY, the service was still top-notch. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help. Nobody gave off that "please don't ask me another question" busy-day energy. This time we tried the sampler with four different ice cream flavors, which is perfect when your brain says, "Just pick one," but your stomach says, "Why limit ourselves?" And then came the funniest part of the visit. She told us one of the flavors was caramelized pineapple... and somehow I heard Spider-Man. LOL. I have absolutely no idea how my brain got from caramelized pineapple to Spider-Man, but once I said it, the whole family lost it. We were all cracking up. So now, whether they like it or not, that flavor will probably forever be known as "the Spider-Man ice cream" in our house. LOL. Of course, we also had to get the Sunny Mango again. That drink is AMAZING and has officially become one of our must-orders. My daughter went with the birthday cake ice cream in a waffle cone and absolutely loved it. Great treats, great atmosphere, and even better people. The fact that they handled a busy Sunday this well says a lot. What started as a Yelp Elite visit has turned into one of our family's favorite places. 10/10 -- we'll definitely be back... and I'll try to listen a little harder next time they tell me the ice cream flavors. LOL.
