Seemingly Overzealous Ice Cream — Restaurant in Charlotte

I have been following them for awhile on Instagram. When showing a visiting family member around Camp North End, I remembered that they were there. We parked (thankfully right near SO) and made a beeline to get some ice cream.

Upon entering, they gave us clear directions about the ordering process, which they have down to a science. Unlike most places, you pick your size and pay in advance. Then you choose your flavors. It seems counterintuitive but it actually works! When paying, you can choose to add on a 25 cent charge for sprinkles. If you opt for sprinkles, they give you a quarter that you use to purchase individually packaged sprinkles (chocolate or rainbow) from the vending machine near the door.

We were so excited to see that all of the options were dairy-free, gluten-free, and egg-free. But honestly, you would never even know. And they had so many fun flavors with even better names! Everyone was happy with their choices. We will definitely be back!

Pro-tip: 1 scoop may not seem like much, but the ice cream is pretty dense and filling! You would...

I love this place for multiple reasons. The ice cream (flavors and texture) are so top tier that it's hard to put into words. I have texture issues so I wasn't too sure about how not having dairy and egg would change the texture of what I expect ice cream to FEEL like, but it's smoother & creamier than anything any other ice cream company could make. I've tried a scoop of a popular grocery store brand recently and it just DOES NOT even compete with what they're doing at SO. The flavors are simply divine...honestly they offer some classics like Easy to Please (vanilla) and Easy to Love (chocolate), but my faves are the ones that are different. Seriously, try Paper Cup Love Notes & I Needed Someone To Feed together and you'll never go back. My absolute favorite thing about this shop is that it is a visual, deliciously tasting, sparkly representation of the owners' relationship with each other. Everything feels so intentional. The ice cream is by far the star of the show, but the presentation and feeling behind it elevates it. Love it there...and...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TREAT YOURSELF

My partner and I have been long customers of this amazing 100% egg, dairy, and gluten-free ice cream, which has completely transformed our dessert experience! As someone who is lactose intolerant, finding a non-dairy ice cream that matches the consistency of traditional dairy ice cream has been a challenge. This business has nailed it perfectly.

Every flavor we've tried has been incredible, but the Orange Dreamboat and Lumpy and Grumpy are my absolute favorites. The Orange Dreamboat brings back childhood memories of eating orange creamsicles with its refreshing, citrusy burst that is both smooth and creamy. The Lumpy and Grumpy, which uses ube purple yam, offers a unique, delightful blend of flavors that keeps us coming back for more. OMG, it's so delicious!

The owners and staff are amazing and super helpful, always making our visits enjoyable. Thank you for taking such good care of my gut with your delicious and thoughtful creations. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and...
