Best Ice Cream in My Business Directory

Napolitana gives Greer an ice cream parlor of its own, a small dessert stop on Middleton Way with a strong local reputation for its size. It is a Greer spot through and through, worth knowing if you are on that side of the Upstate and in the mood for a cone.

Walk in and the case does the work: rows of gelato in bright colors lined up behind the glass. The room is well-lit and kept notably clean, with enough seating that a family can spread out and linger rather than grab a cup to go. On a hot Upstate afternoon it works as much as a place to sit and cool off as a quick sweet stop. The gelato is made in-house the traditional Italian way, from a brand that began in Rome before opening in Poland, Dubai, Egypt, and Texas. It runs small-batch and seasonal, and customers describe it as balanced rather than overly sweet. Beyond the gelato there is a real spread of Italian sweets: cannoli, tiramisu, affogato, milkshakes, crepes and waffles, plus espresso drinks. A large cup comes as four scoops, enough for three people to share. A few things come up again and again in reviews: the Dubai Chocolate flavor, the cannoli that one visitor swore beat the ones she had in Italy, and the affogato, a strong shot of espresso poured over a scoop of gelato. Several people mention the chunks of dessert folded through the flavors, so most bites turn up something extra. It sits right on Woodruff Road near Five Forks, an easy stop on a shopping run or an after-dinner treat when you are already out that way.

Dillard's is a longtime Greer fixture, an ice cream parlor that shares its lot with a working farm stand, so a scoop and a flat of just-picked strawberries come from the same stop. The building itself is small, with a covered porch and picnic tables out front where families settle in on warm evenings, and in summer the line runs long but moves quickly. The flavor list is deep and shifts with the seasons, and the staff hand over spoonfuls to sample before you commit. Reviewers keep circling back to the banana pudding and the Charleston sea salt caramel, and there are a few Splenda-sweetened options for anyone watching sugar. Past the cones, the counter turns out banana splits built for sharing, hot fudge brownie sundaes, thick milkshakes, and seasonal treats like apple cider doughnuts once fall arrives. One practical note before you go: it's cash or check only, no cards. Come in warm weather and you can pair dessert with whatever the farm has ripe that week, from spring strawberries to late-summer melons and tomatoes. With a list that deep and spoons on the counter for sampling, the real question isn't whether you'll land on a favorite but which one, and that's yours to settle on the next visit.

Dumont is a locally owned creamery first, and the pull is a case of handcrafted ice cream that runs well past vanilla and chocolate. Next to the classics sit genuinely unusual scoops, from Hokey Pokey, a New Zealand style vanilla laced with caramel toffee, to Cake and Jam, Kheer, and Mascarpone Raspberry. A tasting flight is the easy way to sample several at once, and reviewers point to it as the move on a first visit. The cafe side holds its own. The bar turns out specialty drinks like a strawberry matcha latte and a date cardamom latte, a long run of bubble teas from taro to white peach green milk tea, and coffee brewed from shade grown Karafa beans. Much of the tea menu comes in dairy or non dairy versions, so the inventive flavors stay open to people skipping milk. The room is set up for lingering rather than a quick grab and go. Visitors describe comfortable padded seating, a couple of living room style corners, and board games left out on the tables, which makes it an easy landing spot with kids or a group. Parking is on site, just off the busy Woodruff Road retail strip.

Creme Shack keeps it casual: a no-fuss ice cream and dessert stop in the thick of downtown Greenville, easygoing in the way the "shack" in the name suggests. It has become one of the go-to spots for dessert on North Main, the kind of place a night out downtown tends to end.

Ice Cream Station has been scooping in downtown Simpsonville for more than a decade, working out of the old train depot beside the Main Street clocktower. The name is not just branding: the rail line still runs right past the building, and half the fun is taking a cone outside to watch a train roll by just steps away. The menu goes well past a plain vanilla cone. Soft serve is the backbone, but the counter also turns out thick milkshakes made with local Happy Cow dairy, floats, fruit smoothies, and a long list of build-your-own sundaes. Dole Whip comes in pineapple and orange for anyone skipping dairy, and reviewers say the non-dairy soft serve holds its own against the regular scoops. The sundaes are where it gets playful: a Dirt Digging Sundae buried in Oreos and gummy worms, a Hound Hog stacked with bourbon-roasted bacon and hot fudge, and a rotating Hot Cobbler served warm in a waffle bowl. When fall arrives, the seasonal SkyTop apple cider slushie is the one people wait for. Lines can get long on a warm evening, but customers keep pointing out how fast they move and how generous the staff are with samples and toppings.

Benny's brought ice cream back to downtown Fountain Inn when Logan and Emily Davis took over the old Steam Coffee & Cream space on South Main, rebuilt the coffee bar, added an ice cream dipping cabinet, and reopened in the summer of 2026. They named the shop after their young son, Bennett, and it found its footing fast, with more than 500 people coming through in the first weekend alone. On a revamped stretch of historic Main Street, it has become the kind of place people drop into on the way through downtown. The menu runs on the pairing in the name. Handcrafted coffee sits alongside hand-dipped Chocolate Shoppe ice cream, with baked goods and breakfast-and-lunch sandwiches rounding things out. It makes an easy morning-coffee stop or an after-dinner scoop, and the later Friday and Saturday hours give Fountain Inn somewhere to walk to once the rest of Main Street has closed up. The Chocolate Shoppe flavors rotate, so the playfully named ones are worth asking about. The shop has scooped a bourbon-spiked espresso called Exhausted Parent, a fitting pick from two people who had never worked in coffee before and have been learning the business on the fly.

Kilwins is the sweets stop on North Main in downtown Greenville, the place you duck into for a scoop, a piece of fudge, or a box of chocolates while you are out on Main Street. It fits neatly into a downtown afternoon or an after-dinner walk, an easy stop when you are already in the middle of things.

The draw is the ice cream itself: more than 75 flavors of Hershey's, scooped to order in generous portions. It is a brand a lot of people around here say is hard to find elsewhere, and with that many options on the board, half the fun is standing at the case trying to narrow it down. What sets the stop apart is where it lives. The ice cream counter is tucked inside That's Karma, a roomy consignment and gift boutique of some 4,000 square feet, stocked with local artisan goods, toys, and imported finds, so a cone comes with a browse through the shelves. Reviewers tend to describe the shop as friendly and a little nostalgic, and the owner has been known to step out and chat with visitors. Past the scoops, the menu stretches to sundaes, milkshakes, ice cream flights, and made-to-order creations, along with fresh-squeezed lemonade and a candy counter, with dairy-free and gluten-free options that customers with sensitivities are quick to point out. It sits right on West Main Street in the middle of downtown Easley's shops and restaurants, an easy stop while you work your way down the block.

The shaved ice here starts with fresh cane sugar and is made by hand, and the flavor people keep coming back for is the sno cream, a house-made creamy version reviewers single out again and again. It is a small walk-up window in Edwards Forest Plaza on Wade Hampton, an old-school stand with a few umbrellas out front to sit under while your cone melts. Cash only, and open just for the warm stretch of the year, roughly April into late August. Past the sno cream there are more than sixty flavors to work through, all made in house, from cotton candy and blue raspberry to cherry cola and mango, priced low enough that a whole carful of kids will not dent your wallet. It has been a Taylors fixture since 1987 and has stayed family-run the whole way, which is why you will spot grandparents, parents, and kids standing in the same line. That is what makes it a summer-evening ritual for so many Upstate families: bring the kids, cool off from the heat, and spend almost nothing doing it.

Pink Mama's sits right on the Swamp Rabbit Trail in downtown Travelers Rest, the kind of stop you roll up to on a bike or wander into after a walk down Main Street. The shop leans all the way into its name, done up in pink inside and out, with a selfie wall that gets plenty of use and rocking chairs by the front window for working through a cone. The scoops are Hershey's, with more than two dozen flavors on the board alongside floats, milkshakes, and dirty sodas. What sets the place apart is what comes around the ice cream: the pink waffle cones are made in-house and carry a faint cinnamon note that reviewers keep mentioning. There are vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free options too, and dogs get their own Paw Sundaes, which is a rare thing to find at a scoop counter. The building is small and the lot fills up on warm weekends, but the line moves quickly and the scoops run generous.

Pop's Cabin Creamery works out of the historic Gosnell Cabin on the grounds of the Mauldin Cultural Center, a log cabin relocated into downtown Mauldin and given a second life as an ice cream stand. You order through the cabin's front windows and pick up where the front door used to be, then carry your cone to one of the umbrella-shaded tables set out under the trees in front. Alongside scoops there are snow cones, Italian ice, milkshakes, sundaes, coffee, and pound cake, plus cornhole and a few yard games to keep the kids busy. Reviewers tend to single out the friendly service and the generous portions, the kind where you feel you got your money's worth in the cone. A few also note the ice cream is a familiar Southern brand rather than churned on site, which is fair to know going in. The shop is named for Pop Dorsey, the owner's wife's grandfather, who ran a small ice cream shop over in Marion, South Carolina.

Stanley's is an east-side Greenville scoop shop, the kind of ice cream stop you drive to on purpose on a warm evening rather than wander past downtown. It sits out on East North Street, an easy pull-off-and-get-a-cone spot away from the Main Street crowds.

Houni's Italian Ice serves Italian ice from a storefront on North Main Street in Simpsonville, the water-based, dairy-free frozen treat that stays lighter than a scoop of ice cream and holds up well through an Upstate summer. Beyond the Italian ice, the shop works as a small neighborhood dessert stop, with ice cream and other sweets on hand. It keeps afternoon-into-evening hours Tuesday through Sunday and closes on Mondays.

In Greenville's Overbrook neighborhood, an easygoing residential pocket just east of downtown, Clare's Creamery makes the kind of ice cream that started life as a downtown cart before it had any walls at all. Sisters Caitlin and Molly grew up scooping at a shop back in Ohio, and after Caitlin spent about a decade away in digital marketing and then went through Penn State's Ice Cream 101, the two circled back to what they loved and began selling small batches from a cart around town. It caught on fast enough to earn this storefront. Everything is churned in-house in small batches, and the care lives in the specifics. The base is super-premium, running around fourteen percent butterfat, and each batch takes roughly two days to make. They rotate through sixteen core flavors alongside seasonal specialties, keep the recipes their own rather than a supplier's, and carry dairy-free options for anyone who needs them. It plays as a genuine family spot, unhurried and easy with kids, the kind of place people fold into a weekend without much planning. Ask around and the lavender honey keeps coming up, rich and lightly floral without tipping too sweet, and it is the one worth ordering first.

Lovey's is a neighborhood ice cream and dessert stop on North Pleasantburg Drive, north of downtown Greenville rather than in the walkable center. It has built up a steady local following on that side of town.
