"I visited the newly opened frozen dessert spot Off Track Ice Cream, which opened June 29 in a renovated 1875-built space at 6 Beaufain Street; restaurateurs Marc and Alissa Zerare transformed it into a 35+ seat shop with a full ice cream production kitchen. They serve traditional, vegan, and gluten-free ice creams made with the freshest Lowcountry-sourced ingredients and no artificial flavorings, additives, or stabilizers — the mint chip genuinely tastes like a mint leaf plucked from a Southern garden. The menu offers creative milkshakes, sundaes, and cookie sandwiches; for example, the Salty Beach sundae pairs a scoop of vegan sea salt caramel ice cream with vegan hot caramel, vegan whipped cream, and toasted coconut chips. The shop is bright and airy with an industrial feel—exposed brick, concrete floors, pops of pink from a neon logo—and there are plenty of communal tables for eating." - Erin Perkins
