Flavors (September 2025)
Meredith B.

Allergy heaven! Love that all of their options are gluten free. I went about 30 minutes before close and they were out of Cookie sandwiches and waffle cone crisps, so plan accordingly if you have your eye on those. There is a courtyard with shared seating outside. We lucked out with street parking nearby, but the parking deck is also close!

I come here almost once a week and I don't feel guilty because everything is egg, gluten and dairy free! I never feel gross after I eat this. Its very good and I love how they constantly change up the flavors! The flavors are usually fresh and somewhat healthy - like options with ginger or tumeric. It's just a really fun and refreshing treat! This place is usually pretty crowded - so definitely expect a wait. The shop is very tiny so don't expect to dine in. There is plenty of free parking at Camp North but be prepared to walk! Definitely worth the wait.

Coffee and strawberry flavors -- so good!

10/10 -- I don't know what's in the ice cream and I don't want to know lol all I know is that it tastes good. Such of a nice alternative for vegan and gluten free folks! The owners did a great job creating a whimsical environment. It's more than just ice cream, it's a cute little experience. And the ice cream sandwiches do not disappoint. Let the flavors surprise you. I'm usually not a blue ice cream type of person but the blue moon sammie is a personal fave

Seemingly Overzealous is a cute little icecream shop with some unique flavor offerings. I got a scoop of butter pecan and a scoop of carrot cake ice cream on a cone. The icecream was smooth and really yummy, the waffle cone was a bit too crunchy for my liking, but my friend loved that about the cone. . The shop was clean, the staff were patient and friendly and offered samples.

The ice cream was so good, I forgot to take a pic. Located at Camp North End. There was a long line, but it went fast and customer service was great. The inside is really small, so if there's a lot of people you will have to form a line outside. I feel its worth the wait. BlueMoon flavor is my favorite. Tastes like a blend of fruity pebbles and cotton candy. It's not to milky, and not overly sweet. Just the way I like it. The waffle cones were being made on the spot and all I can say is, it was the best waffle cone I have ever had. Extra crispy and the flavors linger in your mouth long after you've finished. Hmm mmh good. I highly recommend

So I'm not gonna lie I was pretty skeptical to try this ice cream because I saw dairy free gluten-free and immediately thought what kind of ice cream is going to satisfy my sweet tooth when you're taking away all the guilty pleasures, but it was actually pretty good. I had the "I need someone to feed" ice cream, which was comprised of brown sugar cinnamon. It pretty much taste like cinnamon toast crunch, but just an ice cream form. I had it on a waffle cone and it was such a nice treat after a long work day. Prices were not too crazy. They offer an array of other options which also have really cool creative names. I definitely can't wait to try some other flavors, but it's definitely worth the hype so next time I don't judge ice cream shop by its name or offerings. Definitely check them out for yourself!

Ice cream to go!

Sooo good, it's definitely worth a try! This is inside Camp North End. Coming through Charlotte and had to make a pit stop to check out this spot. It's such a fun vibe indoors and the service was great. I wanted to try their mint chip and was offered a bit of a sample. So good and I loved that it is topped with a bit of a waffle cone chip because I ordered in the cup. Would be coming back.

Enjoyed a scoop of I Need People to Feed (?) (toffee and Cinnamon Toast Crunch) here on a hot hot summer afternoon! Arrived around 330pm and there was a steady line. Friendly service, generous with samples! A little expensive for a single scoop, but it's in a great area and gets the job done when the need to beat the heat hits!! A few seats inside and plenty of outdoor seating available. Would recommend!

2 scoops: brown sugar cinnamon + peach cobbler

Amazed that this ice cream (or technically, "non-dairy frozen dessert") is entirely dairy, egg, and gluten-free! For the amount of creaminess and flavor, I could have sworn I was eating plain ole ice cream. Conveniently located inside Camp North End (which has free 3-hour parking in the garage), Seemingly Overzealous is a cute scoop shop with brightly-colored décor and some seating both inside (bar stools against the windows) and outside (benches with a fun ice cream drip design). Upon entering, a friendly staff member asked if we'd visited before. No? OK well then you get the full spiel! First, go to the cash register. Let them know how many scoops you'd like, and pay. Next, slide over to the left, and try all the samples you'd like at the counter before making your final selection! And they weren't kidding: we were encouraged to try as many as we wanted, which was so nice when it seems like more and more ice cream shops are cutting down on samples or make you feel bad about wanting to try more flavors. Everything we tried was so tasty, and we ultimately went with 2 scoops: peach cobbler & brown sugar cinnamon. These went so well together! The staff explained that the peach cobbler is a new & improved recipe since they'd received feedback from customers that they wanted more peach, and it delivered! The brown sugar cinnamon was chock full o' flavor and tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Seemingly Overzealous is a dream for those with allergies/food restrictions -- and for those who just love great "non-dairy frozen dessert!"

Everything is better with ice cream + knowing that there isn't any dairy to make me regret the ice cream in the first place. I appreciate when flavors rotate. Ube cheesecake was my winner of the night and I can see how it was voted back by customers. I've been thinking about the next time I'd be back since the last time I was there. I guess that means I'll be there tomorrow.... Now to decide which flair to get.

Looking to cool off in this "Not Quite Summer" heat, then look no farther than Seemingly Overzealous! They have the most delicious flavors of ice cream, and everything is dairy, egg, and gluten-free! Healthy and tasty is a combo I can definitely get with. Located in Camp North End, it will definitely be a visit I'll make often when I'm visiting the QC. My boys and I were lucky they were open for Memorial Day. The owner and his daughter were the perfect host to our curious needs. We were able to sample flavors before deciding on our final selection. Oli was able to practice her first scoop with my selection, and she did an excellent job! I was afraid she was giving me too much and was going to be fired her first day on the job. But dad was pleasantly pleased as well. I went with Papercup Love Notes (coffee) + Easy to Please (vanilla). Darius had Is This My Life (tumeric, cinnamon, ginger, blk pepper, nutmeg, roasted coriander, and honey) + The Dinner Rule (peanut butter w/Oreos). DeAndre chose Never Tear Us Apart (butter pecan) + I Needed Someone to Feed (brown sugar, cinnamon, like cinnamon toast crunch milk). We were able to sample each others and I must say, they all were delicious! Looking forward to trying them again!

Stumbled upon this location during an afternoon strool. Nice options on a warm day. Along with a good portion. Most certainly will return

Friendly staff, samples offered. Pretty quick, in and out, about 12 or so flavors, most are pretty unique and a couple are common (chocolate, cookies and cream, etc). Sampled a Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream that was really good

Delicious vegan ice cream

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.

This is one of my favorite ice cream shops in Charlotte…read more Not only is it a local business, but it is also centrally located with free parking and a ton of delicious flavors, not to mention the instagrammable common areas with an awesome vibe and good service. 100% recommended.

Edited to respond to the owner's comment below: one of their own employees told us the owner…read moreactively monitors the cameras and calls the towing company to have cars booted. 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.
