The butter pecan ice cream here is amazing!!! It's creamy and sweet and salty and nutty. Butter pecan is one of my favorites and they make it in house here and it's one of their specialty recipes, so says the wall art. The house made waffle cone is also delicious. Casual. Indoor seating. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

This isn't the best ice cream I've had downtown, however all of their flavors are gluten free (including cookies and cream!) and they have gluten free waffle cones which was really really great to see! It's okay, but for the price (over $8 for one scoop) it's not going to be a place I go back to unless I REALLY need a gluten free cone read more

I don't under the hype of this place. We went in and they had one employee on a Saturday night. The line was long and slow. They did have college students sitting at a table being incredibly rude with foul language and actions. The ice cream wasn't that good. It lacked flavor, in any that I tried. I was unsure of pricing until we checked out. They charge way too much for the lack of ice cream and lack of flavor. read more

After dinner we decided to stop for ice cream and came upon Republic Ice Cream. They had a nice selection of ice cream as well as custards and milk shakes. The service and ice cream were both good. The only downside was that Waffle Cones weren't available. However it was understandable as it was late and they were busy. read more

The ice cream was good. I got cappuccino with chocolate chips. But after eating I felt sick to my stomach. I only got a small and this doesn't usually happen to me when I eat ice cream. I'd be hesitant to try this ice cream again. Price was right for downtown Charleston though. The store was clean and there was no line.

Strolling down King Street, we saw they had butter pecan so we decided to stop in. We opted for a handmade waffle cone with the butter pecan. Some of the best ice cream we've had in a long time. The butter pecan was hands down the best I've tried. The waffle cone also had great flavor, but was a little crunchy/crumbly. We did get the last one of the night, but either way it was delicious. Serving size was generous and service was quick. Definitely worth stopping in. read more

Stopped in late night walking down King st., they definitely have that going for them. There were 10 or so flavors, I didn't try the ice cream myself but friends said it was just ok. I went with a frozen custard, which was also ok. Weird texture and not as creamy as I would expect from custard, whatever mix they use isn't great, but it satisfied a sweet craving after a night out. read more

Not to be confused with Re:Pubic, which is an email I received about my nether regions. It's an ice cream shop located in Charleston - what more do you need to know? Well here's some more. Better than some of the ice cream around here, and a little bit more local, but service isn't always great, and sometimes the lines can get really long, which leads to me not giving five stars. I came here for some ice cream but my God some of the customers are so rude and then cut in front of me in line and there was a huge group of them and I was just one person so it really rubbed me the wrong way - but it's definitely not the fault of the business which is a pretty good place that I've been to before. It's right on the main strip and a great addition to any dessert tour of the city. However, as I said, some of the customers in here could use some lessons in manners, as they were very rude to me indeed and cut in front of me in line. read more

When you pay over $16 for two single servings I would expect courteous treatment at the least. We were met with silence as we walked through the doors, so we asked "Are you open"? The response? We are here, so I guess we are. I almost told my husband to NOT order anything, but he likes any kind of ice cream. I paid and received the same , silence and no Thank you for coming in. No thank you for supporting a local business. No thank you for buying our expensive ice cream and allowing us to stay open. The one star was for the rude behavior, otherwise the ice cream would have garnered a 4 rating. read more

Such a cute little place on King St. A throw back kinda vibe, a little like an old timer ice cream parlor. Classic flavors in a small selection, and they also do soft serve custard. I tasted the strawberry which was yummy with pieces of real fruit, then I opted for a small cup (which was filled up plenty!) of chocolate chip. A delicious and just creamy enough consistency and just right sized (and not too hard, ick) chips. Seems like all "boutique" ice cream places run you $4,5,6 whatever so they are inline with other places we like to go. Nice treat on a summer like Oct afternoon! read more

The customer service was friendly and accommodating to our family of 4. She provided samples, gave us warm and fresh waffle cone to enjoy with our ice cream. Seating was comfortable and we enjoyed being in the ice cream cafe. The serving sizes are generous and satisfying to the young ones and us adults as well. The flavors were certainly rich and tasted like they were home made. We enjoyed our experience at Republic Ice Cream and hope to return in the future should we visit Charleston again. 4 Solid Yelp stars and a thank you to Republic Ice Cream.
