This is the cutest place to get ice cream. Recently went with friends and had a time. The staff is very friendly and plenty of room to it and enjoy your sweet treat.

I had a hankering for a brown sugar boba milk tea. I'm not familiar with the area so I used Yelp as my guide. I'm glad I did. Sugar Ghost is cute & very clean. There are skeletons sitting in the booths, which reminded me of the name. Ordering was quick and easy (as opposed to having to select milks, sweetness m, etc.). The only con was the boba was connected. I haven't had this experience before, so I unfortunately began to choice as I inhaled 4 beads at one time. I actually ended up dislodging 3 of the beads out of my throat, which was scary for someone who can barely swallow a Tylenol. I'd give sugar ghost another visit to try more of their milk teas and definitely ice cream. read more

We always love sugar ghost! New pistachio flavor I'd fantastic, especially once you start getting the nut pieces! It's a great service that they'll put your desired flavor in pints if it's not already an option. The folks are always nice and the vibe is so nice there whenever we go. Love the mural as well. read more

Sugar Ghost Ice Cream and Bubble Tea - Pistachio ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

The boba are perfectly chewy every time we go here. The soft serve is also delightful (I recommend pairing it with hot fudge!!). My kids love it. The servers are always kind and friendly, as well as patient, with my littles. I love that the menu specifies which things are caffeine free, making it easy for me to choose something for the kids. The decorations are fun and interesting. The place has great vibes overall. I just wish it were closer to my house! What a cute, delicious women-owned business that figured out how to do its thing in an incredible way. Can't get there enough!! Ps I love that there is a chair in the bathroom for my big kid to sit and hold the baby while I use the restroom! Very appreciated. read more

Yum! My family hits up Broad Ave on the regular (Broadway Pizza is a forever fave) and on our most recent visit we were hanging out with the crowd when one of the kids asked if we could walk down for ice cream. Ended up we had a small group go and another wave followed! All were thrilled with the flavors they chose. Appreciate the unique flavors but some of our groups went for the more familiar. I LOVED the two sorbet scoops I had -- dragonfruit & hurricane (citrus flavors) -- so much I didn't even pause for a photo. read more

Sugar Ghost is adorable inside--seriously, the vibe is so cute and perfect for pics. The service is always great, super friendly and quick. I'm obsessed with their soft serve, especially with the churro on top--it's such a good combo! Their boba tea is also a fave, and the boba tea floats? Game changer. One of my go-to spots when I'm craving something sweet and fun. read more

My visit to Sugar Ghost was all a fun coincidence! I was in town visiting a friend and she just happened to follow the sugar ghost instagram and they run a fun special where if it's your name for that day you get a scoop of ice cream (so follow them on social media to see if your name will pop up!)! Funnily it happened to be my name that single day I was in town so we went to get ice cream! I got the lavender honey scoop and it was a nice light flavor, not too sweet but not tasteless. It was a nice balance! The service was great and the staff was super fun, I asked them how many people came in with my name that day and he said not as many as he thought there would be because some days it's a lot of people. The shop itself is pretty small but super cute, I would say very picturesque and definitely a nice place to chat with friends or have a cute solo date! read more

Sugar Ghost is the cutest ice cream parlor in the University area. The two staff members are super friendly. Free samples! The flavors won't disappoint--they're very sweet and true to the flavor profile. My favorite are the Ube and Mud Island as the latter is generously loaded with peanut butter cup, pretzels and pecans. Hands down my favorite spot in the area. read more

Sugar Ghost Ice Cream and Bubble Tea - Vanilla with caramel and cookies and cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

This feels like the local favorite's frequent for Ice Cream and Boba! The vibes are definitely fun, with the ghost decor in the back and the bright, colorful decor. The service was a tad slow when I went, but in all fairness only two people were working that night so they get leeway. Their servings for Boba in their milk teas are definitely more generous than what I'm used to back at home. Their Ice Cream has a really nice smooth and creamy texture while accentuating the flavors well. We tried the Ube and the Nana' Puddin' flavors and they were both excellent! The Ube was creamy, dense with the sweet potato-like flavor and the color is beautiful. The Nana' Puddin' was also really enjoyable having that banana custard mixed throughout the Ice Cream with whole chunks of softened banana throughout. The Nilla wafers mixed in also somehow stayed crunchy in the ice cream, very welcome addition! The taro Milk Tea had an unexpectedly dense Taro flavor. Again, dense sweet potato like flavor and the boba had a really great chew to it. The honey and brown sugar sweetness for the boba was balanced well without being too sweet. Overall, Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the Memphis area. Great Ice Cream & arguably even better Boba. read more

This place is fantastic! Right when me and my family walked in, it just felt very happy. The ambiance and decor was very cute and cheery. they also had a lot of flavors of ice cream plus soft serve and Boba tea. I ordered the gooey butter cake and salted caremel flavor, both of which were a 10 out of 10. The Boba tea was also amazing.And, to add to the whole thing, all of the employees were extremely nice and helpful. read more

I waffled on a 3 vs. 4 for more than a week before finally deciding on a 4 -- I think my own crabbiness and frustration with my own mistakes is coloring my view a bit unfairly, so I'll round up and give this place the benefit of the doubt. I saw this place on Broad, knew we'd be in the area, and pretty much demanded that we stop so I could try some boba and ice cream -- two of my favorite treats in one spot! Parking is rough, as others described, but my husband just drove the car around in circles while I went in alone to grab my items to go. We came on a Sunday evening while in town to better see the eclipse. Despite the threat of a pretty gnarly storm, they were crazy busy. I was upset to see so many people ahead of me in line when I'd hoped to get in and get out quickly. Still, I was committed. The line moved at an average to somewhat slow pace, but the workers were doing their best -- having worked at an ice cream shop in the past, it's not their fault when multiple guests insist on trying a million different flavors, lol. The shop itself is very cute. The pink color scheme and the spooky theme lends itself to adorable selfie and aesthetic picture-taking opportunities. Wish I'd had more time to look around and take photos. Still, super cute idea and execution. Since the line was moving somewhat slowly and I was in a big rush to get out of there to try to beat the storm and also so my husband wouldn't have to keep circling the block, I thought I'd be clever and order online so perhaps my treats would be ready by the time I got to the front. Ordering online was pretty simple and I was able to make my selection and modifications and pay over the phone. But when I got to the front of the line...they didn't have my order. The staff were very polite and tried hard to find it, but it wasn't there. I felt like a pit opened up in my stomach. They asked to see my receipt/email clarification, but I didn't remember which email the receipt went to and I was in such a huge hurry/didn't want to hold the line up signing in and out of 3 different email accounts that I told them to just forget it and make my order new. So here's what actually happened: there are two Sugar Ghost locations, and I placed an online order for the one in Germantown, and not the one on Broad. Now this is 10000% my fault. BUT, this is a mistake I've made a few times with places that offer online ordering at more than one location. While I realize it's my responsibility to get the location right, I do think it would be nice to have some sort of flashier signaling so that the person ordering doesn't accidentally order for a different location. Be it location tracking or a pop-up to make sure you're certain about where you're ordering...it would help. Basically, I wound up getting the same order (different ice cream flavor since they didn't have the flavor I ordered at Germantown at the location on Broad), but I had to pay for it twice. Frustrating, even though it's my bad. Honestly, maybe the staff would've made it up to me if I'd found the confirmation email; I can't know because I was in such a hurry I didn't bother. But I can't hold what they didn't get a chance to do against them, so on to the actual product! (For what it's worth, I was impressed by their bubbly and polite demeanor even in the face of my grouchiness. I don't think I was rude/mean, but I'm sorry for being sour, y'all -- it wasn't your fault!) Anyway. I got a small brown sugar milk tea with boba and a single scoop of the Mud Island ice cream and then I rushed back out to my car in the pouring rain. Traffic was bad heading back to our hotel so I had plenty of time to eat in the car, haha. The brown sugar milk tea was fine. Like many other reviewers have noted, it is certainly quite sweet -- but I was expecting that. I liked the milk and brown sugar flavors. The boba had a nice chewy texture but a slightly floral taste that didn't go with the drink, imo. Don't really know what that was but I enjoyed it okay. The Mud Island ice cream...hm. The ice cream itself was very smooth and creamy and rich and had a nice chocolate flavor, a bit like chocolate pudding. However, the description made it sound like it had a ton of goodies in it (pretzels, caramel, chocolate chips, pecans, Reese's cups, etc) and I think I got maybe two bites with small soggy pretzel pieces in it and that was it. I was looking forward to all the "treasures" in the ice cream and I never found them. Still, the "body" of the scoop was good. Like I said, really not sure how to rate this place, so I'm erring on the side of generosity because it's not fair to hold my frustration at own mistakes against them. Perhaps I'll return the next time I'm in Memphis and I'll have a bit better luck with my ordering process. read more

Overall: a top place for ice cream in Memphis with its top banana pudding ice cream and an assortment of asian flavors! Inside: lots of space to sit, lots of lighting and overall spacious! Food: bubble tea is definitely the top in the area as well as their Ube ice cream and nanners ice cream. The waffle cone was kind of brittle though and with two scoops of ice cream in it, the cone cracked a-lot. Service: A Thursday Night and although there were lots of people the staff was quick and friendly. read more

Firstly, Sugar Ghost has a super inviting look. It seems like all tasty things are happening in this space. The decor makes you feel like you're inside of a children's book. It's a perfect place to bring the family, but also with it closing at 8 p.m. Sundays, 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, maybe a date or friends? The Choco Taco is super delicious and not too sweet. It's perfectly built and not too heavy on the belly. They have bubble tea, homemade and soft serve ice cream, churros, shakes, ice cream sandwiches, fruit tea, milk tea, ice cream cake and coffee soda. You can order in advance online. They host private parties and events. Just go, you won't be disappointed. read more

On a HOT day, this was a gem. I couldn't decide between the Ooey Gooey Cake ice cream or the Ube, so I had both. Yum. My daughter had the honeydew, vanilla milk tea with popping boba.

5-Stars because the ice cream is tasty, staff is amazing and atmosphere is really nice. I had the Choco-Taco, and my wife had an ice cream sandwich. Sampled a couple of their flavors, and were impressed. We would have taken some home, but had a several errands to run after stopping in. All the ice cream they serve is made on-site, and is fresh and delicious! Sugar Ghost is located in the trendy Broad Ave district. If you find yourself eating lunch or dinner on Broad, be sure to save room for desert at Sugar Ghost! This was our first time at Sugar Ghost, and we will definitely be back! Next time we will be sure to bring home a couple of pints! read more

Anyone into cutesy things will really enjoy it. Sugar Ghost is located on Broad street, along with many other places such as Salt/Soy, Muddy's, and many other businesses. Sugar Ghost is clean and decorative. With it being the holiday season, there is a Christmas tree and also a few window decorations. The menu is located on the back wall upon entry. It's very cut and dry, and there are several ice cream and milk teas to choose from. They also have stickers, tote bags, and sweatshirts for sale. Payment is card only. I decided on a flight of ice cream and my babe got the brown sugar milk tea. With an ice cream flight, it comes with 4 flavors of your choice. I got the Lavender Honey, Salted Caramel, Cookies and Cream, and Nanner pudding. I really liked the Lavender Honey and Salted Caramel. The Lavender Honey had a very soft taste and the Salted Caramel was smooth without either one overpowering the other. The Cookies and Cream was fine, and I wasn't crazy about the Nanner pudding. It was something added to it that I couldn't really put my finger on. My babe's milk tea was really good. It was sweet but not overpowering, and the Boba at the bottom adds a little fun to the tea. Prepare to spend between $5-10 individually. I'd definitely say this is very even price to portion scale. I'll give this one a rating: even skeletons can be sweet. The name itself piques a little curiosity, and the shop is cute inside. It's a very affordable date, good place to go with some friends, the kiddos, or even just a solo treat. read more

Super cute and trendy ice cream place in the middle of nowhere. They had a line that was almost out the door when we went. I love all their exotic flavors, which is hard to get in memphis (flavors like dragon fruit, ube). They even had soft serve, which was decent, but I personally like McDonalds soft serve better. We got a milk tea and it was a no-go for us. It was too sweet and didn't have that tea flavor. read more
