HOLY COW; pun intended! My medium size waffle cone was enormous. My chocolate raspberry truffle ice cream was delicious. I will most definitely be back for more :)

We have been so excited to try Bruster's Ice Cream in Summerville! We have not had one in the Charleston area since the one in North Charleston, near Charleston Southern closed years ago. We have been watching for them to finally open. My husband and I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. Bruster's is in a great spot and is super cute with a nice outdoor seating area with lots of seating. The day we went there was plenty of room to sit down. The ice cream was as delicious as we remembered! I had the Birthday Cake and my husband had the Graham Central Station. We were sad that the waffle cones seemed stale and they definitely didn't fill the cone with ice cream. The service was okay, they seemed a bit overwhelmed when we were there. Compared to the other ice cream shops in the area, the price is about the same but it seems that you get less for your money. I am giving them three stars for now but will try again to see if they improve since they are newly open.

Came to check out the new ice cream place in town. Pros: they make new flavors daily and have a ton of flavors. My little one was "smaller than the cone" so she got a free ice cream and was so excited. They give tons of samples and the portions are generous. Cons: slightly pricey and seating is only outdoors.

I am not a fan if ice cream but this specific place was great. The service is top notch. They are welcoming and treat you well. The ice cream is good and consistent. It is a very clean and nice area outside to enjoy your frozen treat.

OMG ya'll, the tomato pie!! I am obsessed with tomatoes and I'm also from the Northeast where…read morenothing like this exists, so you can imagine my excitement to try it. And I'm happy to report that it exceeded my expectations! The slice of pie was HUGE (very tall) and it had some kind of a sauce/cheese combo on top of the tomatoes that was fantastic. Combined with the pie crust, it reminded me of a slice of Chicago deep dish pizza! My husband and I also shared the following: cinnamon rolls, salted caramel brownie and a white chocolate raspberry bread pudding muffin. All were huge, rich in flavor and very satisfying. I already can't wait to come back again! :)

I've been wanting to try this place since seeing their tomato pie reviews, but live West Ashley and…read morenever make it that side during their hours. Finally made it this past Thursday. The place is a nice sized neighborly cafe. The bakery display was very tempting, but I had to remind myself why I was here, TOMATO PIE!! Let me preface this by saying I'm from Charleston (lived here all my life except for 2 years), and I LOVE Tomato Pie. I was in utter shock when I saw how huge their Tomato Pie was. I ordered it to go and did not have it heated when ordered. I asked the gentlemen at the counter how he recommended heating it and he suggested in an oven over a microwave to keep the crust crisp. So that is how I heated it. For the cheese lovers this one is for you!! The cheese was a bit excessive and over powering for me. I did not like this tomato pie at all. It lacked flavor to me, and I'm usually one that believes seasonings should enhance the flavor of the food, not cover/overwhelm the palate. What I tasted was CHEESE, tomatoes and a bland crust. I saw the herbs/seasonings underneath the cheese, but did not taste it at all. To each their own, but this in no way tastes like the classic southern tomato pie I grew up loving. I gave a 3 because the menu had MANY options that looked appealing that I may go back to try.

The combination of incredible baked goods and delicious ice cream makes this the perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth. Whether you're stopping in for a little treat or picking up something special, you won't be disappointed. Such a wonderful addition to the community, and definitely a place worth visiting again and again! Highly recommend!

Swank's newest addition -- an ice cream shop! Two doors down from Swank Desserts, the place feels…read morenice and clean. The area where the line starts is pretty tight as the seating area is right next to it. Additional seating out front. Paper menus are available in the line. Waffle cone almost tastes like a sweet, cinnamon croissant. I was afraid that as the ice cream melted, the waffle cone would start to disintegrate, but it surprisingly held its shape. Vanilla Bean with chocolate pearls and rainbow sprinkles is perfect for the little ones. Norman's Cookies taste just like their salted chocolate chip cookie mixed with delicious cookie milk ice cream. Eat it Brucie! Was my favorite. Chocolate ice cream with chocolate cake pieces throughout, freakin delicious! Weekend at Grannies House is a classic butter pecan ice cream filled with pecan chunks Mile High Club has the perfect amount of swirls of Biscoff cookie butter Who Made the Yams? Tasted like a piece of mom or grandma's sweet potato pie with a scoop of ice cream. Definitely will be my go-to for a sweet treat!
