Park Circle Creamery — Restaurant in North Charleston

I cannot believe all of these fully positive reviews; did we all go to the same place? I am aware that for most people wanting ice cream, the taste is most important...Ok, the ice cream tasted good; BUT, just like ANY creamery where the ice cream is made in house, nothing to scream about though. That is sadly where the good ended. For me, I want good experience where I spend my money. First, CASH ONLY. Really? This is 2016 folks, who has cash on them anymore? Sure does put questions of tax evasion in my mind. Second, NO TASTE TESTING. Um, what? Have YOU, Mr. Owner-man, ever been to an ice cream parlor where you could not taste the flavors first? I am sorry you are in an area where the "riff-raff" probably comes in to "taste" and doesn't buy...I say, MOVE. Lastly, "No, you cannot get one scoop of one flavor and one scoop of another." SERIOUSLY!?! WHY THE HECK NOT? All of the flavors cost the same. "They want you to get the essence of each flavor by itself." HOGWASH! Who is "They"? Yea, that's you buddy, we all know you are the owner and who the heck are you to decide what flavors I taste at a time. This experience was like the twilight zone. No wonder there was no one in there on a beautiful weekend day. Portions were tiny, I had ice chips in mine and the cones were stale. I would be willing to bet this place is closed within a year if they don't get it together and focus on the customers over...

We were excited to try this place as it was recommended to us so we drove 20 minutes to grab an ice cream with my mom. We love supporting local shops but we were so very disappointed when we arrived and they only had ONE ice cream flavor available and there were LOTS of flavors advertised on their website. So we decided since we were already out and had our mind set on ice cream to try their other location in Summerville. Different location - same story - well they had more than ONE flavor but not many and not one that was even appealing to us. There were at least 5 families look at their menu when we were there and walked straight out the door unfortunately. We decided to just get something, even though it wasn't our choice flavor and the ice cream was ok. Large servings was a plus but lack of flavors did them no favors!! I give this a 2 Star because each one of the girls behind the counter was friendly and helpful when we were there. We hope in the future to come back when they keep a good selection going and perhaps give a different rating. For now, that was our experience and the rating is self explanatory. We will try again in the far out future but hopefully these comments are taken to heart from customers who love ice cream and local businesses. Hope to see you stock more flavors and even some of the more popular flavors in the future - there was nothing...

I thought long and hard about writing this review….but here it goes. I’ve been wanting to support this business for a while. Me and my son have made several attempts, however each time we went to both locations they were closed. Either they had closed early or not open at all. Today I called before we went. When we arrived we drove around to find parking. We noticed 2 young girls inside serving a family. Two minutes later we got to the front door and there was a sign that said “Be back in 15 mins”. Another customer walked up and said the two workers went to get sandwich from another establishment close by. I didn’t know that you can shut down and have all of your employees go grab dinner and have customers waiting in the parking lot. Could one person not go get dinner and keep the business going? By the time they returned 5 customers were waiting. They did apologize, however they that didn’t move me. Once inside, they didn’t have much to choose from and they didn’t offer or ask how would I like my ice cream….in a cup or cone. The ice cream wasn’t frozen at all….it was very soupy and the flavor was mediocre.The customer service wasn’t great either. Needless to say, I wasn’t impressed and won’t be back anytime soon. I was underwhelmed by the experience. You can’t even see what your getting. I won’t be back...
