Sometimes the best places are the ones you stumble upon, and Gustard's Custard was definitely a pleasant surprise! First of all, the frozen custard is absolutely delicious! Creamy, rich, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. I really love how they do things a little differently here. It's not just another ordinary ice cream shop, and the presentation makes the whole experience even more enjoyable! But as anyone who reads my reviews knows, great food is only half the experience. Customer service is everything! And the people working here were absolutely wonderful! Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to take care of their customers. That always makes a difference! And here's another brilliant little bonus... It's right next to a brewery! I mean, come on! A nice cold beer followed by some delicious frozen custard? Whoever came up with that combination deserves a medal! Charleston has so many fantastic places to eat and drink, and it's always exciting to discover another little gem worth recommending. Whether you're exploring downtown Charleston, enjoying a night out, or simply looking to satisfy that sweet tooth, Gustard's Custard is definitely worth checking out! Delicious frozen custard, beautiful presentation, wonderful people, and a great location. What's not to love? We'll certainly be back! FIVE STARS AND THREE THUMBS UP! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Needing a quick stop after a long drive, I found this place near the highway. It's an odd location,…read moreadjoining some residential areas, a gun club, and an abandoned bridge. The custard is in a separate window attached to an outdoor brewery. They had classic vanilla and chocolate as well as some rotating flavors. Their rotating flavors were a bit fruity for me, but swirling the classics together resulted in a full-flavored dessert with a smooth texture distinctive to custard. Although getting there was a little odd, the result was straightforwardly what I'd hoped.

The workers were really nice and fast, which was great because we were excited to try it. We got a regular cup, which lets you pick two scoops of different flavors. We went with Lil Blue Panda and Graham Central Station (love the punny names). Lil Blue Panda was so good and it tasted like cake frosting with Oreos mixed in. So good!!! Graham Central Station was also a hit! It had a great graham cracker flavor with different textures mixed in. Not totally sure what else was in it, but whatever it was, it tasted good as well. Definitely coming back! Seems like the perfect spot to grab a cold treat and cool down.

I think I got the key lime, but everything I sampled was delicious. From the brown sugar oat milk and cookies to the fluffernutter blondies, amazing. The staff was very kind and happy to allow us to sample some flavours before ordering. Very easy experience. I also was able to get the ice cream in a cup with a cone on top, which is something I always request for as a clumsy ice cream lover. The inside is well lit and had plenty of seating. We dined in and enjoyed our ice cream. It was pretty packed when we entered with a line to order with no free tables, and by the time we were able to order/sample ice creams there was two tables open! Very popular and inclusive spot for delicious ice cream!

The staff was very friendly and everything was delicious. I got a single scoop of the Brown sugar oat milk and cookies flavor, and it was a good portion for $7 (after tip and tax). I love that offtrack has a good variety of vegan options and can accommodate to some allergies.

Three Monkeys Ice Cream Parlor is a family-owned hard scoop ice cream shop on James Island. The ice…read morecream is from Charleston-based Wholly Cow, so it is a local product even though it is not made onsite. You can't go wrong with any of the flavors, but Charleston Sea Turtle is my favorite. My husband loves vanilla. You can taste the difference compared to the mass-produced, shipped in, brands sold at other shops. Personally I am a fan of a simple scoop of ice cream with no toppings, but if you like sundaes, toppings, or milkshakes, they have plenty of options. For parents or adults who want "adult" refreshments when you take your kids out for ice cream, there's a bar area in the back with beer and wine. They also have a delicious frozen Irish coffee- the booze is already in it. It's great to have a hard-scoop ice cream place close by that's local, so do support Three Monkeys and try that frozen Irish coffee or some ice cream.

The decor and balloons were beautiful and made for such a fun and lovely atmosphere. I was a little disappointed to learn that they don't make their own hard ice cream, so I decided to go with a soft serve instead. I ordered the Chocolate Obsession Stacker for $9, and I thought it was a fair price considering the generous size. It came loaded with chocolate soft serve, hot fudge, brownie bites, Oreo cookies, and chocolate chips. Definitely a chocolate lover's dream! The staff was friendly and parking was easy, which is always a plus. While I would have preferred house made ice cream, the Chocolate Obsession Stacker was incredible!

I had the chocolate peanut butter stuffed shake and my daughter had the American celebration vanilla with strawberry shake. My son wanted just a scoop of cookies and cream icecream, but it came in a cute plastic cup with an icecream cone shaped spoon to keep. We actually came back the next day to all get single scoops because everything was so delicious. The store itself is small and gets very crowded very quickly. That and the fact that the service, while polite and friendly, was very slow, is why I can't give them 5 stars. Other than that, I would definitely recommend checking them out!
