Great dessert spot in Southend! The service was good and the build your own ice cream cookie bowl is awesome. Plenty of quality toppings to choose from and everything was delicious and tasted fresh. The service was friendly and patient with our kids ordering. Will definitely be back whenever we end up in the area craving dessert! read more

First of all, it smelled of delicious treats when we walked in the door. But none of the staff members greeted us. They were blasting hard rock music and seemed agitated the entire time while there. A young brown skinned woman stood in front to order but she walked out probably because of the bad vibes. I stayed because I wanted to try the sweets. I noticed that the white customer was treated with kindness but not us brown skinned folks. I got the custom brownie sundae and the brownie was dry but the ice cream was delicious. I'm not returning for sure. read more

This cute little bake shop was such a fun experience. The fun vibrant deco made for great photo opps. The restrooms and entire restaurant was very clean. We also had the opportunity to chat with the owner/creator, who was quite a team player, with our crazy girls. Our girls enjoyed their personalized cupcake and loved everything about our visit! Thank you again! read more

Yummy!! Had the sprinkle cookie and it was delicious!! Me and my friends love the customer service ! Will be back ;)

They allow dogs in their establishments and allow them to put their paws on the counter tops food is served on. I would not recommend this place. Stop allowing dogs in places customers are eating. read more

In the heart of south end so they don't have their own parking. You will have to park in the deck or across the street. I like that you can add toppings to your ice cream, that's pretty unique. The service was good. There was only one worker. Slow pace of business. It's a small spot so it's more so if you want something quick in and out place. read more

I was really craving a brownie and could only find this spot nearby. The store is really bright and cute! While they didn't serve brownies, they offered a brownie cookie. I ordered the cookie and was offered ice cream and toppings, which I declined. Well...the cookie doesn't taste like a brownie lol and afterwards I realized why the toppings were offered. I'm sure the cookie would have tasted much better with the ice cream and toppings. I was just sold on having a brownie. The milkshakes looked really good, so I may go back to try one. read more

This is my second time visiting swirl and it's always a treat. My oldest son got one scoop of ice cream that and my youngest son tried the Sundae. We had the mint chocolate ice cream with Oreos, gummy worms, and chocolate drizzle on top, and my son loved that combination and said it was the best he ever had. The Sunday combination we decided to go with was the snickerdoodle cookie, with vanilla ice cream with Oreos on top pecans and caramel drizzle. The sundae was super delicious and I believe we finished it off in less than five minutes. We will definitely be back to visit, and maybe wr'll take the light rail next time and explore South end. read more

This is a dessert bar located on the south downtown area. You can park in the garage. You'll find several different tasty treats, ice cream, two cupcakes, etc. the cool thing is you can make your own. They have awards program as well. Every time I have gone, the customer service is great and the establishment is clean and fun.. to location is hard to get to for me so I rarely get a chance to go. I do think it's a must try for the Charlotte area. I hope that you enjoy and have a good experience. read more

Horrible quality cookies. Go to crumbl or insomnia. They have so many reviews bc they offer a free cupcake for them. Disgusting.

Finally made it to Swirl. For a restaurant that has precooked cupcakes, ready to make, I was thinking they would be dried out. I was wrong. The moistness of the cupcakes was outstanding. 1. Roxy - crushed Oreos make everything better. That first bite was everything. 2. Alice - I'm beginning to love any cake item with a raspberry drizzle. The lemon cream cheese icing on top of the fluffy vanilla cupcake will be added to my Top 5 from #Swirl list. 3. Oatmeal raisin cookie - not as soft as I like but it was still good. Not overcooked and a little bit chewy. #GratuityAdded #cupcakes #delicious #foodporn #foodie #CltFoodie #charlottehornets #CharlotteEats #LoSo #CLTDesserts #cupcake #buttercream #instagood #cakedecorating #instafood #cakepops #foodphotography #customcakes #CharlottesGotALot #CLTSweets #charlottesweets read more

When I'm traveling I love to find new experiences and food that I can't find other places so when I was in Charlotte, NC with my sister, nephew and niece it was a sweet treat when we stumbled across SWIRL. SWIRK is a Made-to-Order Cupcake Shop with Cupcakes, Cookies, and shakes. You pick your treat - cupcake, cookie, ice cream, or shake and then you pick your toppings and mix ins. It's easy to order and the shop is bright and colorful. You can eat in there, but the seating area is small. There are so many different options that you could literally go here every day and get something different every single time. I'm not sure I'd get the combination that my niece got, but she loved it. I got a warm brownie cookie with vanilla ice cream, strawberry syrup, and fudge. It was delicious! read more

They have a good amount of options to get from ice cream, cookies, milkshakes, floats, cupcakes and more. Service was lovely and had a cute interior. However if you're coming for scooped ice cream, & looking to be wowed this isn't it. They have give or take 6 ice cream flavors and all just alright. They have a plethora of toppings that many people would enjoy. For me, ice cream should be the star of the show & all the flavors were disappointing especially since they are classic ice cream flavors. I had a cookie as well, the churro one, and that one was pretty good. Better than the ice cream so it just depends what you get from here. read more

Swirl Dessert Bar - Brownie cookie sundae and a scoop of the cookies and cream ice cream with chocolate chips, brownie, and chocolate syrup! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

We went for the ice cream but also got some cookies. So glad I did as the cookies are arguably the best cookies I have ever had. We got the brownie cookies and the chocolate chunk cookies. I cannot overstate how good these cookies are. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful as we were first timers. My wife and son got The "Duke". Vanilla ice cream mixed with cookie dough, brownie and caramel sauce. I snuck a taste as well. Absolutely amazing. I got the Midnight - chocolate ice cream, with brownie, oreo's and chocolate sauce. If you like chocolate (who doesn't?) this is the one to get! So darn good. Highly recommend. Hope they open another location down here in York County! read more

Brought the nibblings and my father for a cool treat. Now sure if there is parking on the lower level for quick in and out visits but we entered into the garage and parked. I did get my parking ticket validated but I forgot and has to go back. Once inside the space is a little bigger than the other location. They have the same high stools and table lining the wall. We couldn't decide so we got several things. My niece decided on the Pick me up shake but we definitely replaced the coffee powder with marshmallows. She loved it but in true kid style didn't finish it! It was a lot of shake for a small person. We got my go to the vanilla ice cream with Oreos, M&Ms and caramel. We also got a 4 pack of cookies. I went with the seasonal option lemon blueberry, my dad got the oatmeal raisin and both the nibblings got rainbow sprinkle. The cookies are huge and they are on the more dry side than chewy side. Overall we enjoyed everything we got but I probably will stick to my ice cream when I visit. Swirl 2822 South Blvd Unit B Charlotte, NC 28209 (Review 23 in 2023 and 764 overall) read more

Our visit to Swirl was just ok, mostly because of the service. It's a fairly small shop and they apparently didn't see nor hear us when we entered. When we asked questions, the staff members were a little short with us and offered no recommendations. The actual menu was pretty good. They offer a mix of cupcakes, cookies, and ice cream. The also have tons of topping options. We got their small ice cream with all the toppings we could stand. We also tried a few of their cookies which are pretty big in size. Overall a decent visit. read more

Cute dessert place! There isn't a parking lot. There is street parking nearby, but it fills up fast on weekends. The staff was super friendly and nice. I got the cookie ice cream sandwich. You get to pick two different cookies, either vanilla or chocolate ice cream, and unlimited toppings. The cookies were delicious. The toppings were mostly cereal, but they also had Oreos, marshmallows, M&Ms, and sprinkles. It was really filling, easily able to split with someone. read more

Well I was greeted as I walked in the door and I couldn't miss the door done it's snazzy and colorful entrance. You can't miss the very pink tables out front and the second you open the door the glorious smells of fresh baked cookies and sweets hits you hard and fast. The glands begin to salivate with true desire to consume. And the treats I ordered were fun to watch being made right in front of me. I got a cupcake and an ice cream treat the ice cream called the Shorty. The cupcake the Roxy. The shorty was a nickname of mine growing up. And they taste amazing. Yeah I know who wants two deserts. This man wants two deserts and I enjoyed every delicious morsel. If you get to southside Charlotte add this to a must go to spot for your sugar rush. read more

First time ever trying this place and ordered cupcakes on DoorDash and they were incredible! Ordered three different cupcakes, all the vanilla with the buttercream frosting and various other toppings, like M&Ms and cinnamon toast, crunch cereal, which surprisingly works wonders as a topping coupled with the buttercream. Can't wait to visit this place in person and so glad that I found it and just happened to stumble upon it on DoorDash while ordering a late night snack Hope this place sticks around long enough so I can visit them soon. read more

Swirl is amazing! This was my 4th or 5th time going to Swirl, and each time I try something new. Swirl validated parking in the parking structure. It's clean, safe, easy, and convenient. Swirl is also clean, the staff is nice, and the service is good. The environment is fun, and the cup cakes are always amazingly delicious! This time I had Swirl's Pick-Me-Up Shake. Ingredients: Vanilla ice cream blended with cookie dough, coffee powder, and caramel sauce. It is Swirl's own cookie dough, so it has a much tastier flavor than store bought cookie dough ice cream. Absolutely delicious! If you are craving a creamy, silky, sweet, smooth milkshake and you are in Charlotte - Swirl is the place to go. 5/5 Stars. read more

I was here on a Sunday afternoon. It was fairly busy, there was a short line with attentive and quick customer service. I ordered two frosted cookies - the rainbow and classic. I was really hoping I would absolutely love them as they look quite decadent. The cookie itself was quite dry, topped with overly rich frosting but the flavor on both was really good! If I come back I would give a different dessert a chance such as the ice cream or cupcakes because you can't try it all at once! :) read more

Wanted to try something different so I stopped in with my kids. My daughter ordered a root beer float which was mostly ice cream and hard drink, my son got a chocolate chip chunk cookie it was decent. Then I ordered 4 pack of cupcakes from my husband and others at home. The cupcakes are dry, icing was too sweet to me. So food is subpar but the service was horrible. I explained we had never been don't was taking us some time to figure out what we wanted. The man waiting on us offered no suggestions and looked at us as if he were bothering him. There were no other customers and it wasn't close to closing. He had no problem carrying on a conversation with a female colleague. We also weren't offered parking validation as the sign indicated so I had to lay $10 for parking. Horrible service!! The actual is really cute and clean. read more
