    We came in with our kids and it was very tasty. Everyone was happy with their options and a mini is just enough. However, I asked if they had no -dairy options as they were unclear on the menu. I was told chocolate and all fruit. I ordered a strawberry and it had ice cream in the middle. We asked for extra napkins and had like 4 to share with 7 people. Overall it was a cute shop and they had great options. Look online if you have a dairy sensitivity ahead!

    We swung by after school for a sweet treat for the kids (and me too). We've never been although we heard about their North Augusta location. It's in the strip of shops and is located a few doors down from Publix. There is plenty of parking and we had a minimal wait around 4pm. I was expecting coarse shaved iced like you'd get at other shaved iced places, but this was a big surprise. I'd best describe the ice as light, fluffy and airy. No hard crunch to it, and incredibly pleasant. My kids never eat shaved ice completely so we got one for them to share and that was a mistake. Halfway home, our oldest asks for more and when I turned around both had finished their halves and their gummy worms. They were both huge fans and gave two thumbs up. I enjoyed my ice as well, but my husband didn't love his. I liked the subtle coffee portion on my polar affrogato, and the brownies too. I think the combination really worked well together. My husband said his was a little strange. He wasn't a fan of the flavor. He didn't get a pumpkin flavor, he said it was more focused on nutmeg. 3/4 of us thoroughly enjoyed ours, and 2 of them were my kids, so I have to give this a 5 star. Also, peep that military discount, holy cow. We will definitely stop by next time we're out in this area!

    Mini chocolate lovers, Twix and Peanut Butter cups

    First time here and loved it! Ordered mini peanut butter cup, Twix, and chocolate lovers. We ordered mini sizes and they were more than enough. Cute decor and clean establishment. The only issue was there was one person working. It took about 10 to get our order and just about ever table was occupied and more people were coming in. It just might have been a busy time. Overall, I definitely recommend a visit.

    Butterfinger Delight (regular)

    Staff was very friendly and patient, since it was our first time there. We ordered the Butterfinger Delight, size regular, to split between me and my husband (and my 17 month old). It was definitely enough to share. Shaved ice itself wasn't that sweet, which was a nice balance since the caramel and butterfinger were sweet. There was a perfect amount of topping for each bite. There was plenty of seating, but it was a hot day (around 3:00pm) on a Saturday, so there were several other people in there as well. Most people didn't stay very long.

    There are some options if you can't have dairy like me. I ordered mango ice but got banana instead. It had to be remade. The ice is fluffy and a unique texture. If you want something quirky, different and unique then go here. The man at the counter stared at my friends with a disgusted look. I normally don't care about that sort of thing but he was staring the entire time my friends and I ate without looking away. It was uncomfortable and unusual.

    A friend suggested that we try Vampire Penguin out. I was a bit skeptical at first, but was pleasantly surprised! The place itself is clean and the decor goes with the name. I ordered a mini almond joy, but let me tell you they have a variety of options which made it hard to decide. There was five of us, and we all enjoyed our shaved ice cream. It is very light and airy, and doesn't seem like you are ingesting a lot of calories. LOL!!

    This is definitely something worth trying if your in the area. I wish I knew about this place sooner. We went in to it not really knowing if we would like it. But we were blown away with how good it really was. It is literately shaved iced but flavored and decorated to be a wonderful fancy dessert that melts in your mouth. And it's amazing. The place is also small and cute. They have a large chair and a penguin on the wall to go with the vampire penguin theme. They also had vampire penguin coloring pages available when we stopped by that my kids enjoyed.

    Not very impressed. The shaved ice is dry and the interior tastes bland. The toppings are good, but the actual ice is not great. Would not recommend over traditional ice cream.

    We usually hit the North Augusta location but we tried this one & was NOT disappointed...absolutely the sweetest owners....Amy & her husband Marcus...I had about 5 to go to drive back home to Burke county & had a lunch bag with ice packs....she was so kind to make them freeze them til we were ready to go & then still gave me more ice to place ontop...made it home with intact delicious desserts....my new favorite is the Halo Halo...the taro ice....I also love the Mexican candy. We absolutely enjoyed our sweets. Thank you again.

    Small place with no seating inside but some outside. I was told all the ice cream was made in house…read moreand after tasting a few of the flavors, I believe it. It's not inexpensive but you can certainly taste the quality. I had a scoop of bourbon salted caramel ice cream and a scoop of butterfinger ice cream. They were fantastic! My wife had a scoop of the banana pudding ice cream and a scoop of the coffee crunch. She loved them both. It's a small establishment but for a dessert after a nearby meal, this is definitely worth the effort of driving to. People were friendly and the store was clean. We'll go back whenever we are in the area.

    This ice cream shop has moved from the small town of Washington, GA, and when I reviewed it there,…read moreI noted that there weren't a lot of businesses like this in towns that size. So it wasn't a total surprise to find that they have decided to move to suburban Augusta. The new shopping center they've chosen was otherwise still under construction when I stopped in, but several groups of people had found this place and were shopping for ice cream. I imagine on a nice summer day there will be a line when word gets out. Not a lot of really top end ice cream around here, but this place knows how to infuse flavor. A more caramel and cookie creation complemented my dark and bitter chocolate. The chocolate came with Andes mints inside, which sounded nice but honestly could hardly be tasted because the flavor of the ice cream itself was so strong. Premium local ice cream isn't cheap, but here I did get a heaping portion size as I watched more flavors being created in the back of the shop.

    This spot was a minute away from my hotel on a recent trip to Augusta. Try as I might to resist,…read moretemptation got the better of me one evening and I stopped by to get a post-dinner treat. They have a number of stuffed and warm cookies to choose from. I couldn't decide on just one flavor and so opted for two! This was a bit of a mistake as their cookies are really large and dense which I discovered when the worker placed the first box with one cookie on the counter before me and it made an audible kerplunk. My goodness! I got their chocolate peanut butter cookie as well as a sugar cookie. When I realized how ample the cookies were, I gave the sugar cookie to the hotel clerk at my hotel, so I can only speak to the chocolate peanut butter cookie. It was sweet and delicious. I will note that their cookies are very sweet. I don't eat sweets often so the rich sweetness of one cookie was a bit much for me. Were I to go again, I'd probably split one with a friend. That said, the cookie was warm and ooey-gooey. It's kind of an inside out peanut butter cup with a peanut butter cookie surrounding a fudge-y chocolate center. If you like a chocolate/pb combo--this cookie is for you! The workers were lovely. I walked in with no familiarity with the biz and the clerk immediately gave me the rundown of their cookies and how ordering works. They were all so nice in here! If you're looking for an indulgent sweet treat, Dirty Dough has you covered! Get to it!

    Easy enough to pick up an online order for us to share. The cookies were ready for pick up very…read morequickly. For the price of each, they were pretty good. The regular cookies they have seem to be a little less overwhelming. Warm sweet treat on the go, open on Sundays.
