This is it. In my…read morehumble opinion, there are two go-to dessert spots at Holden Beach. This is one of them. We came in yesterday and their chocolate ice cream was as the youngins say "goated with the sauce." I tried a couple of otter flavors and they are also good. This may be the best ice cream around. There is seating outside and inside. Parking is plentiful which is good because lines can get comically long during busy season. Do yourself a favor and come try this ice cream.

We have come here over the years and I agree this is a great place to visit. I especially like the…read morebanana pudding ice cream. You can enjoy it inside or outside and watch the beach traffic go by to Holden.

The employees were looking at me weirdly while I was getting my order. I hate how people look at me…read morelike that!! It's this new generation that's very rude and mean. The service was okay, not the best. They were also being racist because I'm a bit brown, so I was a little confused, and they charged me extra for no reason. I think it's because it was the spoon, but it didn't make sense!! never coming back. I also found a fly. A FLY in my frozen yogurt, and when I was putting my frozen yogurt in my cup, I swear it was a bit brown for vanilla, and once I was done, I saw a roach. Also, the atmosphere was very moist; it did smell a bit funny, and when I put some hand sanitizer on it, it smelled horrible. TERRIBLE. It smelled like a dead animal!!

Traveling from out of town and decided to swing by for some ice cream…read more They have the Hershey's glass cased ice cream which looked great but unfortunately did not get. We went for the frozen yogurt machines where they had a few good flavors. If you are familiar with Sweet Frog, the concept very similar. 2/5 star rating because the toppings were not fresh tasting or quality like. Oreos were not actual oreos but alternative like Oreo branded cookie. Brownie was super hard and dry and eating into it crumbled immediately. I got hot fudge and the pump seemed to encounter some issues as the worker said she just filled it but after 10 pumps of air, I received maybe 1 pump worth. I gave up on the hot fudge. The environment itself was great. Very kid friendly, colorful, and had a lot of heart to it. It was roomy and looks like the host birthday parties there as well. Again, unsure if I came on a bad day but it was not enjoyable and wish I had saved money and got the Hershey's scooped ice cream instead.

The ice cream is what dreams are made of, nice and soft but hard enough to stay together until finished. It's so hard to find family owned/run businesses anymore and am always excited to try them when I come across them. You pull up and order at the front window then there is seating on the side of the building in the shade to enjoy your sweet treat!It is definitely worth the trip and wait in line as the lines are fairly long in summer.

What a great find on Holden Beach!!…read more If you asked my husband or son, they would give this place a solid 5 stars, but my single scoop of Sea Turtle ice cream was supposed to have salted Carmel, fudge swirls and pecans in it. After 2 bites from the top, my entire scoop was plain vanilla! It was still very good but disappointing. We arrived at 8:30pm on a Saturday evening and stood in a fast-moving line that gave us each time to choose from their long list of homemade ice cream flavors! My husband and I each ordered a scoop of Sea turtle. Our son ordered their new flavor, mocha latte: coffee ice cream with chocolate chips. Both flavors (mine was 99.9% vanilla) were delicious. The waffle cones were warm and crispy! I may have to go back tomorrow and give it another try!

It's strange that this was the first year that I actually had any. I was in the mood for a cold treat so I got a root beer flavored slush. It was heavenly! You can get a small , medium, or koozie cup. The koozie Cupid what my family all has. It knocks .75 cents off of a small or medium refill. They have some awesome flavors from the looks of it. Next summer cannot come soon enough for me to try some new ones.

Not only do they not price the ice cream by scoop (so you get LOTS of ice cream), but they make their waffle cones fresh! You do get to try any flavors you're interested in. They even have some flavors that are vegan (made with oat milk)! We also got a tootie fruity donut that was good, and tasted like cake. But I still believe that the ice cream should be given their due! 8/10 - if you love sweets, you will love this place!

Donut station was separate from rest of the store but I liked the clear window to see in. You can watch the process. She was meticulous at how she made them. Gloves on etc. Location: very convenient! Off the main road coming on to the island and it will be to your right. It's great to have a second option for coffee! They offer drip, cold brew AND espresso. There is a private lot with ample parking. Little tables outside with seating of you want to hang and have your food and drink. I ordered iced latte. The espresso is strong so ask for extra milk if you like a light latte but it's a good earthy espresso. I will be back here for morning coffee. Donuts were amazing. I got plain ones but I know my kids will love this place especially with the design your own version. Some enhancements maybe later would be good: tablet ordering vs paper. Maybe even to print at the donuts station and prepay vs pay at one register. A treat bin outside if allowed. Otherwise it's not deal breaker for me! I'll be back. Welcome to CB!!
