Nice fudge spot in Charleston. Great service and unlimited samples! The salted caramel fudge was best!

Cheaper than Starbucks and it is in a expensive location. Love their fudge and milkshakes. I always get something when I go through the night market read more

The Fudgery - The menu - Desserts Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Husband and I came in looking for ice cream. Each ordered one scoop of banana pudding and sea turtle something-or-other and they were both exactly what we were looking for. Our single scoops were very generous in size and the service was very friendly. We were very satisfied with our choices and had a nice amount of ice cream to walk around with. There was a nice selection and this store is in a great location read more

The fudge is pre- sliced and you HAVE to buy an entire slice. And then it's weighed. You can't choose which slice either. So it's about a pound of fudge or nothing. How bizarre! The fudge is decent. If you want to eat some fudge right there, there are some weak plastic knives to cut the fudge with. This did not work. So we asked for it to be cut by the server. She went and got a large slicing knife. She would not let us do it. She had to do it. And then she couldn't follow instructions. "Cut this way and that, no over here..." well at least we had a laugh. My friend then went around the store and started giving pieces of fudge out!!! We had a blast!!! Overall- this is a tourist trap. The fudge was not flavorful, just very very very sweet, which is to be expected. Perhaps go here for some ice cream or a candy apple. Fudge? Unless you want a pound! I do not recommend this place read more

Serious disappointment. When you ask if it is a cream cheese frosting or a buttercream and they lie straight to your face and charge you $11 for a slice of cake only to find out it is not what they told you it was means I will not be returning there for any sweet tooth cravings, I will be returning to Kaminsky's again! read more

The Fudgery - I even questioned if it was in fact, buttercream, since it was so white when I was assured, it was actually cream cheese - Desserts Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

We were greeted upon entry! I sampled the "Nans Banana Puddin and Strawberry Cheesecake"! Both were good so I ordered one of each scoop in a waffles cone! The ice cream was rich and flavorful! ! The staff was very inviting and helpful! I would definitely visit again! One scoop is plenty! They also have other treats! Stop by and enjoy! read more

LOVED their ice cream. They had great choices and so many to choose from. I loved the coconut and chocolate one. I can't remember the other one we got, but it was delicious too. Very nice staff. Gave BIG portions for the money which we loved. read more

The Fudgery - Coconut Chocolate Ice cream - Desserts Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I love coming in here, even just for the delightful smells of chocolate and waffle cones. It's a combo fudgery and ice cream parlor. Their staff are always incredibly friendly, informative and happy to be there which is nice, especially on such a busy street in Charleston. I love their rocky road fudge, and their ice cream flavors offer a wide variety. I do wish their peanut butter had it more throughout rather than just a slab in the middle of the bar. So many other treats to enjoy like pralines and chocolate turtles. Their rice krispy treats are huge and covered in candy or crumbled oreos. There is also chocolate covered marshmellows. It's worth a stop in! Even just to browse. read more

I blame myself for this misstep because I was TRYING to go to Kilwins but walked up the wrong side of Market like a novice, and let my child's whining sway me into a decision I knew would be bad. The Fudgery was super crowded, so I convinced myself maybe it was better than I remembered, but alas. In case you are unfamiliar, Ashby's Sterling is basically food-service ice cream, like the kind that arrived at your university on a semi or the kind that you've paid too much for at a hotel Marriott, only to wonder why it's so aggressively mediocre. I'd just received terrible news from back home - The Parlour, Durham's most delicious hand-crafted ice cream, was releasing a tiny batch of my very favorite flavor while I was away: key lime pie. Oh, yay! The Fudgery has KLP too! All is not lost! EXCEPT IT IS TERRIBLE AND EVERYTHING IS AWFUL AND WHAT CIRCLE OF HELL AM I IN. Fortunately, I adhere to the "always sample" skeptics' methodology, so I scrapped my limey dreams in favor of something coffee that was tolerable. Two very small single scoops, in cups, no add-ins, plus a piece of fudge = $26. Seriously. I know. Outrageous. read more

The Fudgery - Big fat nope - Desserts Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Everywhere else had a line for a sweet treat so we wandered in. Big mistake. Paid 25$ for horribly old and dried out "rocky road" fudge. Should be ashamed. read more

Amazing desserts and cakes. Highly recommend make reservations. For a party of two on a Sunday we waited almost an hour for an open table.

If you're looking for sweet treats in Charleston, a there are so many offerings, this is probably a place you do not want to go. The service is very friendly and welcoming, but the product is simply not good. The wide variety of sweet snacks just looks so aesthetically appealing behind glass. But the lack of diligence behind the recipes for these poorly manufactured goods is evident. Having eaten fudge all over America, there is some serious 5-star fudge out there! It should be creamy yet firm, sweet but not overly sugary, flavorful but not overtly. Unfortunately, the fudge we bought at The Fudgery is too soft - even slimy - despite the aid of a refrigerator to salvage its texture. The recipe is far too sugary and overpowering. Even those attractive crisped rice squares covered with chocolate and M&M's are not the correct balance of flavor and are far too sweet. There are so many great fudge shops in the U.S., and even a few in Charleston. This is not one of them. read more

The ice cream and caramel apples are good but the customer service is what you come for. They will serve you as many generous samples as it takes to make your decision! If you are ever having a bad day, stop by the fudgery and the people will make sure you leave with a smile (and a sugar high) read more

As I completed my shopping tour in Historic Down-Town Charleston and finished grabbing up some stone ground yellow grits, I heard this awesome song coming from the Fudgery about free Fudge. I peered in and started salivating at the many flavors of fudge and ice cream that filled the freezer and shelves. The aroma was intoxicating and I felt like a kid in a candy store. After sampling some rocky road, Lucy came from around the corner and helped usher the line into some sort of order and convinced me that their Mango smoothie was going to be a number One Hit. She prepared it quickly and also made me smile with a generous military discount! I had to agree she was right because the smoothie was fantastic and it is definitely a number One in my book. I graciously sipped it as I continued my stroll down King Street. A +++++++++, I will return on my next trip from Texas :) read more

This review is based on the ice cream alone - while strolling through Charleston my sweet tooth hit and I was happy to find The Fudgery to fulfill my needs. As a chocolate lover, I ordered one scoop of chocolate peanut butter and one scoop of the Michigan tar hole (I think that's it anyway, weird name lol). Although it was pricey, I was happy to find these flavors in the shop when I was finding more eclectic flavors at Republic and Jeni's and I like my ice cream pretty traditional. read more

Didn't eat fudge in the fudgery but the ice cream was pretty good! Big scoop and crunchy waffle cone! read more

I was in town for few hours, and made it my mission to get some pralines... Don't go for the pralines. Head to Savannah Candy Kitchen or Market Street Treats. I mistakenly walked in to the Fudgery. I was moving too quick, but since I was there I figured "let's try it". The pralines just weren't good. I'm hoping I had a one off batch, but nonetheless I won't be back. read more

I only had their ice cream and finally found my bubblegum ice cream that baskin Robbins used to have. It was just the way I remember it bubble gum pieces and all! I also bought a candy apple (the red one) to have later. The only bad thing about this place was I had to buy my ice cream and candy apple in separate purchases because I couldn't checkout on the ice cream side with a candy apple. read more

We had out of town company and went into Charlestown. That was the first good move. The second and even better move was going to the surgery. What an amazing place. I stopped in to get one or two pieces of fudge and we left with a shopping bag full. The Mississippi mud pie was outrageous, full of pecans and marshmallows. The maple, the chocolate and just about every other kind of fudge came home with us minus a few bites. Staff at the surgery could not have been sweeter. Ladies were very helpful in the suggestions they made to us. They offered us small pieces I think Think, tasting pieces. And discussed all the ingredients that were in each piece. That was a deal because of allergies. We were here for quite a while and we were not rushed out It's just an amazing fridge please and I will be enjoying the candy for a month, or more. read more

Came in after a nice dinner downtown. The menus are all along the walls & definitely have a lot to take in, so we were glad to see a short line that gave us time to really look at each part of the menu. My husband decided on a shake with fresh fudge in it. I went for a slab of the maple fudge with walnut which was absolutely perfect. read more

We bought pecan pralines. They only had a few pecans in one and only one in another. For the price charged, I think they could afford to put more pecans in them. The praline part was ok, that's why I gave a 2 star instead of one. . The employee was nice and efficient. I won't be back. read more

Over priced goodness ! You got to have a praline in charleston period ! Sugar rush ! Two pralines a turtle and two bottles of water for 21

The employees here are con artists. WATCH THEM !!!! Was charged $22 for 1/2 lb of pralines which go for $20.98 a lb !!!!!! I questioned the charge and both employees fumbled around and stated that they credited me but of course they didn't. . Disputing with my bank immediately! read more

I feel really badly about leaving a bad review, but I have to be honest. For a shop that's called, "The Fudgery" their fudge is awful. My husband and I thought it would be fun to go to a few dessert places around Charleston and try the samples before deciding where to purchase our dessert. I tried several kinds of the fudge here and ALL of them were stale and crumbly. Not at all how fudge should be. They have nice employees, offer samples, and the place is really clean and cute so I gave it a couple of stars. Unfortunately, we did not purchase our dessert there that night. We went to River Sweets just a few doors down. They have great fudge! read more

My husband and I went here for the first time for a late night snack. We wanted some icecream at first but when we saw the fudge, we couldn't resist. And the fudge tasted as good as it looked! You have to try to it! read more

Waited inside with a store full of customers for a long time and no employees appeared. Guess they went home early.

I got the cookies and cream ice cream. And I am allergic to peanut butter and there was leftover peanut butter ice cream in my ice cream. I'm assuming it's from the scoop, scooping the same ice cream. This place is lucky I'm not severely allergic. read more

Definitely made our night! The jokes, songs and participation games were great! Definitely going back... oh and the fudge and ice cream was amazing too! read more

After spending three days vacationing in Charleston, SC, we decided to "treat" ourselves at a local sweet shop with ice cream cones and traditional candies. I normally don't shop where I can't see posted prices, but it's a candy/ice cream shop (read tourist trap!). How bad could that be? We purchased two ice cream (waffle) cones and two pieces of candy, a pecan turtle and a pecan praline. The ice cream was tasty, however the cones were stale and soft/chewy. We mentioned that to the lone clerk in the business and he shrugged without comment. Now, let me repeat....one praline and one turtle, two ice cream cones. "Check please!" "That'll be $27.17!" Learn from our mistake; buyer beware! BTW, we haven't eaten the candies yet; afraid of breaking a tooth on the apparent gold filing inside! read more

Everyone here was so friendly and helpful! They were more than willing to let us sample different ice creams and fudges, which were all DELICIOUS!! Our favorites were the caramel chocolate fudge and the jacked-up Tennessee toffee ice cream. But the coolest thing by far was watching Delaney make the fudge from scratch. She told funny jokes and made great conversation as we watched her for about 20 minutes. When she finished, she shared AMAZING samples with our family of 12!! We had a wonderful experience here and would definitely visit again! read more

After a long day of shopping at the Historic Charleston City Market, I needed my sugar fix! We found this little shop across the street from the market and I loved everything I tried! Endless options of fudge and treats. I can't resist a good candied apple, so I bought two (they save well!). They were definitely understaffed for how busy they were, so we had to wait longer than we would've liked to finally sample fudge and make our purchase. It was fun to watch them make the fudge, however! read more

Fantastic store and better floor show. Yes, floor show. They sing while they serve you. It will definitely make you smile.

Great service and delicious milkshakes. They have fudge, caramel apples, and ice cream. Ice cream tasted really good as well if the shakes.

Homemade fudge made in house. Super friendly workers who give free samples without being needed to ask to try. I will stop back here any day. They had a variety of fudge with rice krispies, peanuts, and flavors. Very open building eight near all the other tourist attractions of city Market. It is worth a stop by. read more

I bought a milk shake for $5 it was small and it was with much milk which is no good. Then they offered me a smaple of rocky road fudge which was delicious so i ordered it go and when i got home i opened the bag they gave me to see. Regular fudge. Which is unacceptable i spent $9 on rocky road fudge. The staff was very friendly and the fudge was fresh i wasnt impressed though read more

Flat out hurt myself on the hand dipped ice cream. One scoop was huge. I couldn't eat it all.

Stop by today while visiting Charleston and were lucky enough to catch them before they were forced to close due to the Covid-19 business restrictions. We picked up some chocolate peanut butter and s'mores fudge...OMG!!!! The most delicious fudge we have ever had!!!! And to top it off the staff was absolutely amazing. read more

Delicious fudge - made in house. We tasted several varieties - mocha, extra ordinary chocolate, chocolate caramel, chocolate peanut butter, Rocky road, peanut butter, pumpkin....all excellent. The staff was super friendly and helpful and even sang to us. We loved this shop!! read more

The guys who make the fudge were awesome. Fun and friendly! The girl behind the counter however, not so much. According to the receipt her name is Halienna? She was rude and smug. Seemed like she didn't want to be there and was annoyed when she had to help us. read more

Great place to stop in for fudge. The staff was very welcoming and charismatic. They offered us samples of any fudge we'd like to try. The pricing seemed a little steep and their ice cream is not homemade (only reasons for 4 stars). Overall a fun, quick sweet stop on market street. The fudge is delicious. We wound up with peanut butter fudge. The extraordinary chocolate was just that. There are also many other sweets like gourmet dipped apples. Would stop again for fudge. read more
