We randomly decided to try this place because it was walking distance from where we ate dinner. It's very cute when you come in and the employees are nice. There's about 12 flavors to choose from and they will let you sample if you ask. My husband and daughter ended up getting the Little Minty's Revenge (mint with chocolate cookies) and Can't All Be Cookie (cookies and cream). We grabbed a booth but ended up leaving after a few minutes because it was too cold in there. Hubby said we won't be back because the flavors weren't good.

We really enjoyed our outing to seemingly overzealous! It is such a bright and vibrant environment .. it's hard not to have fun. The staff offered samples with smiles on their faces. I ultimately ordered 2 separate single scoops: mint chip and chocolate/orange. The total was $12 after tax/tip. The flavors were great and not overly sweet which was so appreciated. I could not tell this was vegan ice cream. My kids also really enjoyed it! It's a very kid friendly environment with coloring paper and games throughout. My only criticism is that their is no kids scoop size.. only a single scoop which is a bummer for such an otherwise kid friendly place.

This place is vegan but doesn't know it's vegan, and neither will you. The ice cream is so creamy and delectable that you cannot tell the difference. My favorite is the butter pecan. Truly, it is the perfect Southern butter pecan delight. The service is prompt and friendly, and the ambiance is clean and colorful. You won't be disappointed

Cute decoration

For someone who can't eat dairy, gluten, or egg, this ice cream shop would be absolutely perfect, but for me, it's just okay. The flavors are unique and not what I think of when I want ice cream. Don't pay attention to my three stars as far as product goes; my friends, who ordered the coffee and the "Is This My Life" (turmeric, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, coriander, and probably other things), enjoyed their treats, but tasting each, it wasn't quite my taste. Have to say, the person at the counter was really friendly and welcoming, so nothing wrong with the service!

Absolutely love the new space and the ice cream is fantastic, as always. I've brought many friends and family members here. As someone who has to be Gluten Free due to celiac and Dairy free because of lactose intolerance, I know dairy free ice cream isn't always for everyone, but Seemingly Overzealous is a crowd pleaser! Everyone is always shocked that it's dairy free. The flavor range is amazing and I love that they're always finding great new flavor profiles to try out. Bonus - the owners and staff are wonderful people and always super friendly, and the decor is adorable. My son loves the light bright wall in the Plaza shop, and the glitter floor will bring a smile to anyone's face. So glad to see them expanding :)

Cute Ice Cream shop at North Camp End. I got the Honey Lemon Earl Grey ice cream. Really delicious.

This is Seemingly Overzealous's second location, the first being in Camp North End which opened around a year ago. This location opened within the past month and both are known for serving all vegan ice cream and waffle cones. The staff of both locations have been kind, the staff at the original one are very passionate. This vibe is far better than the gelato place that closed where it was awkward to sit and talk, this one is easy to have a chat with your friends.

When I tell you I have to stop my boyfriend from taking us here weekly!! This is the best ice cream shop ever. It dairy free which has been a dream to both us not being able to consume dairy. Not only is the ice cream amazing they always come up with new flavors so it is always exiting to try them. The shop its self is so cute with the friendliest staff!

Cookies and cream

So many options and love that everything is dairy and gluten free. They also have pints to take home which are super convenient.

The shop is very small, they have a good selection of flavors, and it is all dairy, egg, and gluten free. You honestly would never know! It tasted exactly how ice cream should. Great mouth feel, rich, but not sweet. We tried the chocolate with cookies and Oreo pieces and the mint chip. Very very tasty. Again, if they did not tell you this was dairy free, you could not tell at all. They offer tastes, you can get one or two scoops or waffle cones, or ice cream sandwiches, and I think you can ask for sprinkles. They have a friendly staff behind the counter. They are also cashless, so be sure to have a credit card here. I would definitely come back for another flavor, I was really wowed by this ice cream. If you are in Camp North End, stop in for a scoop.

You could imagine my delight when I spotted a Jeni's in CHARLOTTE!? Of course we had to make a stop…read morein! Jeni's continues to offer really fun flavors made well and even in non-dairy options (hooray for vegan flavors!) It's always a conundrum when there's more than 1 vegan-friendly flavor for me but they weren't busy so I got to try all of them. Sadly I was only able to narrow it down to two flavors - banana dream pudding (I'm usually not into banana but this is GOOD!) and peppermint patty. It was a weird combo but it worked! Thankfully they had regular sugar cones so that was vegan-friendly as well. The bf had a waffle cone and filled it with cookies in cream. A splendid time was had. Five Stars. Always.

5 stars, always and forever…read more I've been a long time fan of Jeni's and it is easily my favorite ice cream shop around. No matter how many new places pop up, nothing ever compares to the quality and creativity they bring to every single scoop. You can always taste the difference. The flavors are always so thoughtfully done, from the classics to the more unique combinations they come out with season by season. It's the kind of place where you end up trying something new every time and somehow it becomes your new favorite. The South End location is such a great spot too. They have seating both inside and outside which makes it perfect whether you want to sit and enjoy a sunny day or just take a quick break while you're out walking around. It always feels like a little reset in the middle of the day. And the team there truly makes the experience. Every time I go in, they are so kind, patient, and so beyond helpful when you're deciding between flavors which is not easy to do. You can tell they actually care This place never disappoints and is one of those spots I keep coming back to again and again. Absolute favorite.

So which version are customers supposed to believe? Regardless of who is saying what, the outcome is the same. They lost several customers yesterday, and we will not be returning after this experience. After talking to a lawyer, they believe this is predatory enforcement, and we will file a complaint with the North Carolina Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division and with the Better Business Bureau. Two Scoops Creamery on Central Avenue went from being one of our favorite spots to somewhere we will never return in less than a minute. We met up with a group of friends there today. Before grabbing ice cream, we briefly stopped into Sin City next door. As one of our friends was walking in, he noticed cars in the shared parking lot were actively being booted. We had been there maybe 15 minutes. Apparently, if you step into the neighboring business at all -- even if you're planning to purchase from Two Scoops immediately after -- they will boot your car and demand $275 to remove it. We spoke directly with the staff at Two Scoops and explained that we were simply meeting up and didn't realize stepping next door wasn't allowed. The response was essentially, "Too bad." There was no grace, no warning, no attempt at understanding -- just an immediate $275 penalty. It feels like an incredibly predatory and unethical practice, especially for loyal customers who intended to support the business. We didn't even stay for ice cream, and we won't be back.
