"ELLA took time to ask if I needed help amid a flurry of activity. The name Ice Cream do not do justice to the weekly rotating menu of wraps, soup, and salad and pre packaged items, marked vegan when appropriate. The place has a great fun vibe with bright colors. Friendly staff. I opted for hummus and veggies, and thanks for the veggie option instead of standard pita. Minestrone soup, the weekly puck was great. Of course how could I come here and not try the truly home made ice cream? I never heard of banana pudding chocolate chip and my palate was pleased with great ice cream. Accessible venue with medium weight door. Accessible tables with a view of historic Charleston area."

"We absolutely LOVE this place. Ice cream is to die for but the food they offer is also SO amazing. More selections for lunch than I expected. The salad was made perfect and so yummy. My fav ice cream is espresso Oreo. Atmosphere is top tier, staff is very kind, helpful, and friendly. I like that you can sample ice creams before sealing the deal. They make their own flavors so I love seeing and trying new ones from time to time."

"I would give full marks for the ambiance. I've seen many ice cream shops, but this one is by far the most colorful, eye-catching, and cool looking shop. The girl at the counter was friendly and helpful. The ice cream itself was good. The texture was creamy with just the right amount of sweetness."

"Locally Made Ice Cream This is my first time back to Ellen’s since it was sold to new owners. I could tell that they have made adjustments and improvements to the space and menu. The ice cream is now on display in new cold cases. The serving area has been realigned to better accommodate the lines that form on the weekends. The food menu has been expanded. I paired the featured flavor of pistachio salad (like a Waldorf salad) and espresso Oreo in a waffle cone. I got a small with two flavors. I didn’t see the kids cup size which use to be our go to portion. The flavors are unique and delicious. The atmosphere is bright and cherry with a newer bar seating area at the window. They sell storemade seasonal cookies too."

"Ellen's has THE BEST ice cream. Friendly service."
