When your in SC in the dead of summer, nothing beats a nice scoop of ice cream. This will fill that need just fine, but be prepared to pay for it! The location on King street is more than likely the reason that this place is SOOOOO pricey, and it is just that. Is it worth the price? I would say yes it is, but only as a one time treat, as there are other ice cream places in the area that have more flavors, and are far cheaper. HINT: They will do just 1 scoop if you want, and they will not charge as much! This is a unique place, and the ice cream flavors are fun. The chocolate chip ice cream was fantastic, as was the butter pecan. We both enjoyed ours quite a bit. The staff was very nice and fun to talk to, which also helped make this experience worth the money for us.

Was in the mood for some ice cream and since I ran the Charleston Marathon I decided to have a cheat day here. Not sure what the fuss is about because the ice cream was great! I do wish they had more flavors but they have enough to satisfy the real ice cream lovers. If youre on King St. skip that hipster ice cream shop called Jenis and go here. No funky off the wall flavors here just good creamy custard ice cream

Best traditional ice cream Ive ever had! Just got mint chocolate chip here about 15 minutes ago (10 min before closing). The young lady that served us was sweet, gracious, & knowledgeable. Local ingredients! Wife had butter pecan...absolutely incredible! Not grainy or gritty like most ice cream. Fantastic experience! Thanks!

As a member of the military, Ive eaten ice cream all over this great country. This is the best ice cream I have ever had. My all time favorite. So far, Ive tried the cookies & cream and the butter pecan. Looking forward to trying them all before I get reassigned.

Ice cream is WAY too sweet ( I had mint chip and strawberry) First impression was sweet, no flavor . Mint chip has brittle tasteless chips. Strawberry just tasted sweet. Only one size (too big) one price $7. I wont go back. The custard is tasty though

The soft serve custard beats any soft serve ice cream hands down! The only options were chocolate and vanilla. The only food dye to be found is in the mint chocolate chip ice custard. Thus no candy sprinklers. There are no restrooms.

$7 for ~6oz cup and $9 for a milkshake?! The ice cream is good but not THAT good. If youre thinking of going here, do yourself a favor: go next door to Cupcake Down South and get a world-class cupcake for about half the price.

I normally get my ice cream in a cup but the smell of the freshly made cones convinced me to give them a try, so glad I did. The cone and ice cream were so good I went every day of my visit to Charleston

These custards are really tasty and taste freshly made! The service here is good- everyone was nice and smiling- and it makes for a great spot to stop in after a dinner party or date night!

Shalee gave awesome service. She knew her product and was able to give some literature on the brand. I was extremely impressed. I will definitely revisit this establishment.

Me and my family went to republic ice cream shop for milk shakes and the milk shakes were way over priced and all you get is just milk no ice cream its a tourist trap beware

My family enjoyed the buttered pecan, mint chocolate chip and cookies & cream. They all loved their scoops and we would stop in here again when downtown.

Ice cream didnt taste any different from what you get at regular grocery stores. And the name is a little political uncomfortable?
