There is nothing like a late night craving for some good ice cream in this place has it! I had a scoop of cherry vanilla on a cone and it was to die for! You have to try this place out! read more

I got to go here and I just wanted to try them out I only went for an ice cream. The place is very quiet and the service is OK worker was respectful, but I wish the ice cream serving for the big cone had a little bit more ice cream. but. Overall liked it read more

I got the vanilla with cherry on top today. It was tasty. Creamy & sweet. The place wasn't cool enough and was too dirty for how slow it was. read more

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

Republic Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Maybe I had a bad batch but the cookies and cream genuinely tasted like spoiled milk. I had to grab napkins and spit out the one bite I had. It was disgusting. Threw the rest of the cup out. The most god awful ice cream I've ever had. Update from the next day: I did in fact get food poisoning from this 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

Good ice cream with fast and friendly service. This was a great and fast stop on King Street that pleased the kids and us as well. Ice cream was fine, and it was clean and open on the inside. Great way to beat the Charleston heat! read more

Republic Ice Cream - Inside the building - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

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. The young lady behind the counter was patient when we asked to try 2 flavors each. read more

Very cute diner like interior. Last night was super busy and they were quick and kind with taking orders. The ice cream was creamy and the mint tasted really delicious. Will come back way more!!! read more

Right off king street, usually busy but we stopped in for a quick treat. Only got one cone to share, it's almost 10$ for one ice cream which I think is wild! Friendly staff, good ice cream but just too expensive. read more

Service was not as friendly as other places. Selection of flavors was minimal. Price for amount seemed unreasonable. Lease tasty ice cream out of all 5 places I tried on my trip to Charleston. Sorry! read more

Small waffle cone with mint chocolate chip & butter pecan. Delish. Hit the spot. 2 employees were kind and helpful.

This ice cream place is a local favorite! I ordered a chocolate chocolate chip cup, and it was super creamy, tasted freshly made, and was served very quickly. Excellent service with a retro decor. Will come back to try more flavors! read more

Custard was very good but, expensive. 2 small custards in a cup and 2 scoop of hard ice cream in a cane $25. That's nuts. Wouldn't go again for sure. The service was good, they were very nice. Don't look for sprinkles, there are none. Thr iside was inviting. One and done for me. read more

I knew by the sweet smell when I walked in that I'd love this ice cream, and I definitely did. I ordered a chocolate chocolate chip cone and it was super creamy, tasted freshly made, and was served very quickly. Great little place! read more

Republic Ice Cream - Chocolate chocolate chip cone! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

This ice cream is very good! The texture was super dense and creamy, gelato-like. You can definitely tell it isn't mass produced. The service was friendly! The flavor selection was broad. I got the cookies and cream which I highly recommend. The smell of the freshly made waffle cones wafting down the street is probably why most people wind up at Republic, it was certainly the case for me! read more

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

We went a few minutes before they closed, but they still served us with a smile and was patient with the group of people I was with. I got the vegan peppermint chip ice cream which was good, but it did kind of fall apart. It's slightly pricey, but worth it when visiting Charleston. read more

my husband has lived in multiple countries and said " literally the best ice cream I've ever had"

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

The ice cream was so rich and creamy. I could tell it was high quality bc it melted pretty fast. I got cappuccino crunch and chocolate chip and they both were great! I wish they had all flavors on their menu in store though. read more

This place is fantastic - I was on work business in Charleston for a few days and saw this cute ice cream shop close to my hotel. The ice cream is delicious and service is great - I'm not ashamed to say that I've visited two nights in a row! The Vanilla-Chocolate Chip and Chocolate-Chocolate Chip ice creams were so flavorful and creamy. The ice creams have a homemade richness to them, and every bite was so tasty. The waffle cone that I had was also very fresh and flavorful. 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

Service was good, ice cream was delicious, and ambiance was decent. Overall a great experience and plan on going back for some of that chocolate chip chocolate ice cream. So good and want it again. Looking at the prices I may get a larger size. Huge difference from small to medium so worth the extra 2$. Share a medium before going with a small. The small was sooooo small. read more

Great ice cream, but pretty pricey. Highly recommend the chocolate chip flavor and raspberry sorbet. read more

Ice cream these days are getting more and more expensive. Am I the only one noticing that? The small was $5.41 after tax but the flavor did not disappoint! Cookies and cream was pretty good although the cookies got a little too crumbly and ruined the creamy texture sometimes. Not bad tho, nice place! read more

Republic Ice Cream - Small cookies & cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

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
