Thai Rolled Ice Cream and Waffles Shop Sweet Charlie’s Opens in Austin-Area | Eater Austin

"I'm noting that Sweet Charlie’s, a Philadelphia-based chain of “Thai-inspired” rolled ice cream and Belgian waffle shops, is opening its first Austin-area location at 2800 South Interstate 35 in Round Rock on Saturday, August 10. The shop lets customers build their own creations starting with an ice cream, yogurt, or vegan base and add ingredients to create flavors like strawberry cheesecake or coffee and donuts; the mixture is chilled on a frozen surface and scraped into rolls before adding free toppings like fruit, chocolate chips, or whipped cream. The ice cream can be served in a cup, in a donut, or on a Belgian waffle, and the shop will also serve milkshakes. Sweet Charlie’s was started in Philadelphia in 2015." - Erin Russell
