'55 Exchange — Restaurant in South Carolina

My wife has been telling me about this place for years. But since we rarely get to the area I never remember it's there.

We planned a day trip to see the Georgia Guidestones and noted that '55 Exchange was just a short distance from our route.

We arrived shortly before 1700, (5pm for you non military types), and the line was out the door. My wife told me that the line is normal. '55 Exchange has limited days and hours of operation so it's best to verify they will be open.

Ice cream flavors are limited but are rotated. All of the ice cream comes fron Clemsons own dairy cows as does the Clemson Bleu cheese. In addition to the standard flavors, Clemson own flavors are a staple.

Tammy had a hot fudge sundae, Calvin had an Orange Tiger Cream milkshake, and I had a waffle cone with 2 scoops of their Gold Tiger. The waffle cones are made right there in the shop. Calvin said it was the best shake he has ever had. My cone was the best I've ever had.

The young ladies working that day did a very good job of keeping the line moving and were very nice.

A nice bonus is the prices. The prices are very reasonable and lower than many ice cream shoppers.

If you're in the area and have a craving for ice cream go...

If you’re at Clemson and haven’t stopped by 55 exchange Ice Cream in Hendrix Hall, you’re seriously missing out! This little spot is such a gem on campus.

The staff was friendly and patient when i needed to sample more than one. . It’s the perfect mid-day treat between classes or a great way to unwind after a study session.

Big bonus? The portions are generous and the prices are student-friendly.

Highly recommend grabbing a scoop or two next time you’re near Hendrix. You won’t be...

Excellent ice cream. This is my 3rd time here and I will continue to go each time I visit. Love that the university makes their own ice cream and they have so much variety from sundaes, iced coffee and ice cream and interesting flavors. This time I tried the Caramel Mocha Latte and I really liked it though the Golden Tiger is really the best. The only thing that could make this place better is the atmosphere. There is always a line and the space is small so there is nowhere to sit except for outside or in the student lounge which is a little walk. During the semester you probably wouldn’t sit there with your family, especially if...
