Off Track Ice Cream

Atmosphere 5 star. Super cute shop that smells great. Appreciate the natural ingredients too. My daughter’s waffle cone with cookie dough ice cream and chocolate drizzle was great. My other daughter’s strawberry ice cream was good as well. I didn’t like my brownie 😭 (first time saying that -ever). My kids and husband agreed. The Vanilla Tahitian bean was ok. Sorry but true! $30 for three items a bit steep too. I would rate good not great.

A sweet spot in downtown Charleston with vegan scoops! 📍This place is super cute and cozy—very aesthetic and chill. Perfect for a family outing or a hangout with friends. They’ve got big tables too, great for groups of 6, maybe 8 if you're sitting tight. 🍦The Ice Cream: They’ve got 10 regular flavors plus 8 vegan ones. Everything’s made from scratch, well-crafted, and sweet. What we ordered: My husband and I shared a cone of Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Real talk—I’m not usually into chocolate ice cream (I pretty much only like Häagen-Dazs haha), and yeah… this one didn’t quite do it for me. BUT I sampled the Tahitian Vanilla Bean first, and oh wow—it was very good. Definitely should’ve gotten my own scoop. I also snuck a few tastes of Cookie Monster and Coconut Cool Brew Honeycomb—both were really solid picks. 👨🏼Service: You order at the counter, they hand you your cone, and you just grab a seat. 🅿️ Parking: You’ll find parking lots close by—just a heads-up, most of them aren’t free. I’m giving this place 5 stars—not just for the tasty scoops, but also for the great vegan options, chill vibe, and fun flavor variety. I will comeback for my vanilla scoop!

Very cute little ice cream shop ‘off track’ from the main strip! We loved how it was all locally sourced ingredients and freshly made in-store. Plenty of vegan and gluten-free options as well. You get the perfect balance of ice cream and inclusions in every bite, and they do NOT skimp on the mix-ins. Would definitely recommend trying their freshly rolled waffle cones, Cookies & Cream ice cream, and Peanut Butter Pie ice cream. The only downside was that they were a little pricey, but that is to be expected with farm-fresh, quality ingredients such as the ones they use. Overall a great place to stop if you’re willing to take a few extra steps while in the area!

Found this to be the best Ice cream in town, in a cool building right off King street. I really liked how the had a good variety of homemade ice cream. Their cookies are also outstanding. Won’t disappoint and has plenty of seating if you want to stay inside

Our friend recommended this place since they seem to accommodate different types of allergies and seems like they have a healthier approach to ice cream. It was pretty busy and seems to stay quite busy from what I hear. Very cute place and friendly staff! We gave it a try and got the flight so we had a few different varieties - dairy free, gluten free etc. While I do appreciate what they do here, I personally didn’t love the ice cream. I think the only one I enjoyed out of the flight was the chocolate chip cookie dough bc it was made more traditional. I felt the vegan and gf ones didn’t have a lot of flavor and wasn’t as pleasant. However I do know that this is more of just a preference and I do not want to rate this place lower just because it’s not my style. I think they use quality ingredients and do offer many healthy options if you’re craving something sweet.

While vacationing we were craving ice cream and coffee one evening and found this gem that had both! The menu is clearly marked to indicate vegan items, highly customizable and everything is made in house. We got the "C is for Cookie" sundae and a cup of drip coffee. The Cookie Monster ice cream is blue which was so cute! Definitely go "off track" to try this place! P.S. The coffee was great as well!

Great ice cream! As someone who has never been here I wasn't really sure what to expect. The ice cream was soooo good. I was in a large group and we all left happy with our ice cream! There was a line that took about 30 minutes to get inside... so the workers were definitely exhausted by the time we were there since it was an hour until close! There was a 10 minute wait on waffle cones because of how quickly they were going. Very very popular spot.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Delicious Ice Cream! Off Track Ice Cream is a must-visit spot! I stopped by and tried their cookie dough flavor, and it was absolutely amazing. The perfect balance of creamy, rich ice cream with just the right amount of cookie dough chunks—so fresh and flavorful! The shop has a great vibe, friendly staff, and a commitment to high-quality, locally sourced ingredients, which makes the experience even better. If you’re in Charleston and love ice cream, this place is a no-brainer. Highly recommend!

Off Track makes all their own ice cream AND uses locally sourced ingredients! The line was out the door when we went but it moved quickly. Even the building is cool - an old refurbished warehouse that they did their best to preserve. The entrance is down a side street off King street, easy enough to find. They have so many vegan options! I tried the black sesame earl grey cookie vegan ice cream. I loved the flavor! I think it was made with coconut, which came through a bit and added to the ice cream. And it had chunks of cookie throughout. Yum!!!

I popped in on a Friday night and this place was super busy! Maybe it's because I'm from the Northeast but I was shocked to see how dressed up people were at an ice cream shop... although I'm sure they were in the area for more than just ice cream. The vibes were nice and the place was pretty big, with lots of seating. I sampled a few flavors and decided to go with the Brown Sugar Oat Milk & Cookies, which was one of their vegan flavors. At first I wasn't sure if I was totally sold, but the more I ate it, the more I liked it. The cone was especially delicious. No complaints!

Um, what!? Where has this place been all my life? Off Track has both regular and vegan ice cream, and it is a dream for any vegan/ dairy-free ice cream lover. There are so many vegan options it is almost overwhelming! I decided to go with one scoop with two different flavors (one scoop is verrrryyy generous!). I got vegan black sesame with earl grey tea cookie pieces and vegan brown sugar oat milk and cookies. It was delicious. Surprisingly, the black sesame was my favorite--such an interesting flavor! The service was great for someone with a severe allergy. They use a clean scoop for the vegan ice cream if you tell them you have an allergy. They also let me sample a vegan flavor to make sure I liked it. I didn't get a pint, but they told us that they can scoop any flavor into a pint for purchase. It is a cute store right in the heart of downtown Charleston with a lot of pink decor. Overall, I highly recommend. I'll be back!

YUMMERS! Off Track is literally right off the beaten path (king street). This is not your typical ice cream joint- the inside gives more coffee shop vibes. They offer traditional and vegan ice cream options and some other sweet treats (milkshakes, sundaes, etc.). If you can't decide based on the menu alone, they offer samples so you can find the right fit. All of the ice cream is made in house, so they may be out your fav flavor by the time you arrive (but don't let that deter you!!) My go to is the vegan brown sugar oat milk and cookies and you know ya girl gets the double scoop in a waffle cone! If you find yourself wanting to enjoy your ice cream at home, then they also offer pints to go!

I was told this was the best ice cream spot in Charleston and it didnt disappoint. Everything is locally sourced, they make their own ice cream, and they have plenty of options for anyone with allergy restrictions. When I ordered the ice cream sandwich, I thought it was going to be something pre-made. Nope, they made the ice cream sandwich with two of the cookies that were freshly made. I was in heaven! We were able to try several different ice cream flavors and the service was great.

Off Track is my go to when downtown! You can watch them making the fresh waffle cones in front of you! The whipped cream is homemade and I believe the hot fudge is also. The chocolate chip cookie dough and salted pretzel toffee are my 2 favorites. I either order in a waffle cone or as a hot fudge sundae with whipped cream. There are also vegan ice cream options. I love everything about this place from the decor to the service. My only issue is they have a parking lot next to the building which many people assume belongs to them and end up getting their cars towed. It can be a challenge to find close parking too.

Came here with friends for a Friday night treat. I really liked the chunks of chocolate pretzels in the salted pretzel toffee ice cream. I also tried my friend's strawberry ice cream, which tasted just as great as the Haagen Daaz version. Only struggle was finding parking, but it's in a nice area right off King Street.

This ice cream place is amazing! It offers a variety of regular dairy and vegan ice creams. The flavors are made with real ingredients providing creamy, fresh unique and traditional ice cream flavors made in house. The menu has flights of ice cream to try four different flavors at once along with offering scoops and cones. It was fairly busy, but the wait was not too long. I can see why this place is popular! I highly recommend a visit for some of the best ice cream!

Of course I had to do the ice cream flight.If you are a chocolate lover, you will be in love with their fudge brownie. The brown sugar oat milk and cookies was surprisingly better than expected (it's vegan too), the strawberry shortcake is probably my second favorite in the flight. Love the chunks of vegan shortbread in the mix. My least favorite was the expresso chip. Would have really hit home if they can enhance the coffee flavor. They use only fresh (non artificial) ingredients and I can definitely tell. Price isn't bad for the quality.

We got this after dinner over the weekend. The line was super long but it was worth the wait. I got vanilla bean and birthday cake pop ice cream in a fresh waffle cone. It was so good! My husband couldn't stop talking about the ice cream the rest of the night. We will definitely be back if we are in the area.

We were in town for a few days, and of course we were in search for a good local ice cream shop and found ourselves here. The shop itself is nice with plenty of seating. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I got a scoop of the cookies and cream and my wife got a scoop of the salted pretzel toffee (both their top 2 flavors according to the staff) and both were great. The ice cream is thick, creamy and decadent. The cookies and cream had lots of chunky cookie bits! The shop is definitely off track in the sense that it's not in a busy street. I like that they showcase local ingredients - always nice when a place is committed to supporting local products Overall a great ice cream shop. Definitely recommend checking them out.

Best ice cream shop I have ever been to. The commitment to the integrity of the ingredients is admirable. The world would be a much better place if all restaurants were run to the standard of Off Track.

The cookie monster vegan ice cream is the best vegan ice cream I've ever had! So good, perfect mix of different types of cookie pieces. We got the last seat available, so you may have to stand or wait for seating depending on when you go. The strawberry was too sour for my taste, but maybe it was due to the strawberries in that batch? Idk if they use real strawberries or not. Not that is matters, because I will be ordering cookie monster every time I go now. :)

Me and my wife are very picky. With ice cream stores and tourist destinations as oftentimes, it is fair quality and overpriced. Off track however is a gem in Charleston. We ordered cookies and cream and coconut cake. It had the biggest chunks of cookies not found anywhere else. The coconut cake, a rare flavor, was amazing and even enticed my wife who wasn't a coconut fan to begin with. It also had big chunks of coconut cake too! Price was fair for typical ice cream shop but the quality is difficult to beat. The servers were very nice and quick. Free tasting of flavors is available. The place also looks great and instagrammable. There is parking on the streets. I highly recommend this place to anybody visiting Charleston. Don't miss this one out.

One of the first things we do when we visit a city is research Restaurants, Coffee, and Ice Cream. I have tried Ice Cream all over the country at many of the most famous Ice Cream shops, and I've had some incredible Ice Cream! I can say unequivocally that Off Track is the best ice cream I've had in my life in any city I've ever visited! We visited on the first day of our trip and ended up there multiple days in a row, and have no regrets about it! Every single flavor we tried was so great on the palate, the bases were inventive with their tasting notes, and the ingredients were top notch. The quality of the cream was insane, you could feel the fat content of the dairy on the spoon as you ate it, it lingers on your taste buds. If I ever visit Charleston again I will be here every single day of my trip. The service was incredible as well, they were kindly giving samples of every flavor and describing each one in detail. The building itself was cool as well, very historical feeling but nice and clean. If you're looking for a good ice cream shop in town search no further, go here as soon as you can in case you want to go every day like we did!

Stopped over here after eating at Neon Tiger and loved it so much that we went back the next night after eating at Basic Kitchen! Both times I got a double vegan scoop on a sugar cone and both times one of those scoops was Cookie Monster because it's delicious, the blue color was just a bonus. The line was longish both times I went, but it cleared out quickly and I'd say we didn't wait for longer than 15 minutes. I was visiting Charleston from NYC and loved it so much that I had to buy a holographic sticker to commemorate the occasion. Highly recommended post dinner stop.

Great service with variety of flavors. Atmosphere was nice. Ice cream and toppings were tasty.

I was looking for a sweet treat to end the weekend and off track ice cream for the bill with a little nostalgia. I got a sugar cone with a scoop of cookie dough ice cream and it was so creamy and had that texture you crave in a good ice cream. It took me back to when I was a kid in terms of taste and having to fight to get morsel and avoid having the ice cream stick to your hands and lips while melting. I came to find out that the ice cream is a brown sugar ice cream base. So now I'm googling how this ice cream is made. Whatever cream they use for this is bomb. Also the inside is stunning they tried to keep allot of the interesting elements of the building and it there is a little bit about the history of building while you are waiting in line. Yes, on an early Sunday evening around 8pm there was a line that went to the door and briefly outside. Just a little notice though a scoop is about $7. A little pricey but definitely worth it for a treat. They do have pints and multiple scoops which aren't that much extra in price and I think there's a tinier cup that is cheaper if you want a few bites.

So glad my husband and I stopped by this place during our vacation. THEIR ICE CREAM IS SOO CREAMY AND DELICIOUS!! I ordered the Salted Pretzel Toffee and my husband ordered the Cookies n Cream. Both flavors were delicious! For a small ice cream scoop in a cup, it was $6. The employees were friendly. We were able to park on the street but one of the employees said that there is a parking garage on the next street. Overall, I recommend this place if you are in Charleston.

This place was bumping on a Tuesday night at around 830pm! A bit surprising, since most of the shops close by were closed and this ice cream shop was a tucked away down a side road. I can see why though! They offer ice cream flights with 4 half scoops for $10.95 (I think). The half scoops are quite generous. We got a flight to share between 2 of us, which is doable if you're hungry. But you could easily share this with 3 or 4 people. There was quite a large selection of traditional flavors and vegan flavors. We got 2 of each: cookies and cream (traditional), strawberry (traditional), brown sugar oat milk and cookies (vegan), and raspberry fudge (vegan). The order that the flavors are listed in also reflect our favorites -- starting with the cookies and cream at #1. Definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Charleston!

Love that they have seasonal flavors! The servers are efficient as they usually have a line. You are able to taste flavors before ordering, but I enjoy getting the ice cream flight - where you get 4 different flavors! This is great for sharing. They have just as many vegan options as they do classic and all are incredible!

Expresso chip-flavored ice cream was delicious(tons of flavor with a great texture). The accompanying Snickerdoodle cookie was mediocre (thin and hard). The staff wasn't very friendly, I'm assuming due to it being closing time. The portion size was small--nice decor with plenty of seating.

My wife and I popped in to grab a quick scoop. She grabbed a mint chocolate chip. I grabbed what was supposed to be buttered popcorn the only reason I'm giving at four instead of five stars it's because I'm pretty sure my buttered popcorn, flavored ice cream with a literally just vanilla. It was still a good size portion and tasted very good. The staff was super friendly and the small shop was very cute. Definitely a place to swing through on some of the hotter days!

The ice cream here was delicious. I had the mint chocolate chip which was so good. My husband got the buttered popcorn. The portion size was pretty big as well. We got one scoop each and that was more than enough. We will definitely come back to try other flavors!

My family and I got ice cream from here 3 times during our 3-day trip to Charleston! Including twice in one day. We got the coconut cake and cookies and cream flavors. Both were excellent, and the best versions we have ever had of both types of ice cream. I loved how there were large chunks of cookies in each scoop of the cookies and cream ice cream. It really tasted homemade. The cake in the coconut cake was really delicious too. My only complaint was that the first night that got the ice cream, the girl gave us very large scoops. The next 2 times were with another girl, and the scoops were rather small and probably half of what we got before. So there was inconsistency in the size of the scoops. Prices were on the expensive side, but given the quality, I would definitely dine here again. There is ample seating, and free water which is nice. Overall, we enjoyed our experience though would have liked larger scoops the latter 2 times that we dined here.

Trust me, if I could give them more than 5 starts I WOULD! My favorite ice cream place in all of CHS and worth the 25 min drive downtown every time. I am gluten free and dairy free and it is HARD to find a variety of DF flavors at ice cream shops (they normally only have one or two!). What's even harder is finding GF cones .... Off Track has all of the above. If you're not GF, get the fresh waffle cone that is normally still warm - it's amazing Chocolate PB fudge and peppermint chip are my favorite vegan flavors Salted pretzel toffee and espresso chip are top regular flavors You will wait in line and it will be worth it haha just have patience I think I've convinced my entire neighborhood and friends that this place is the best.

We loved the atmosphere and the exceptional made-in-house flavors. So good we came back the next day for seconds!

This ice cream shop is on my repeat list! It's here I end most date nights downtown. They make all of their ice cream and it's delicious! They also have dairy free options! I've tried this before and they taste just as amazing. They usually have some kind of bake goods (brownies or cookies)! The location is also fun! There is some history about the building you can read up on! Everyone is also so kind! Never had a bad encounter there!

The best vegan ice cream in Charleston, hands down. I usually order from Uber Eats and they always leave the cutest doodles on the bags, love the personalized touch. The vegan peanut butter sauce is sooo good. I would love to be able to order it in a bottle size or even a dressing sized container. It was be amazing if they added a vg/gf baked good so we could have a sundae! The PB/J ice cream with peanut butter sauce and a blondie/peanut butter bar would be incredible!

I'm a little surprised that Charleston doesn't have more of an ice cream scene, but I was happy to find Off Track and really wanted to get the flight. The place was packed on a Monday Memorial Day night, so that was promising from the start. For a 4 half scoop flight, the price was $10.75, which is a bit more expensive than 3 scoops ($9.50) but we wanted to try out more flavors anyways. It was also served very tastefully with a chalkboard stand. We got the chocolate fudgy brownie, key lime pie, chocolate chip cookie dough, and salted pecan toffee. The ice cream was not as creamy as we would have liked it, but we enjoyed our desserts.

The chocolate ice cream was great, carrot cake and key lime was alright. Limited flavors and at the time of my visit the staff seemed tired or just not interested in helping choose flavors. I wouldn't return.

Quality of their ice cream was good, however their pricing structure is terrible, $5.75 for one scoop of ice cream is a crime. Oh and if you want a cone to put your ice cream in, that's another $1.25.

Fun end to the evening - ice cream at Off Track! Delicious homemade flavors and toppings! The line was long but the service is good so the line moves pretty quickly. Definitely worth the wait! They also have some of the best Vegan flavors so a perfect spot for dairy and non dairy ice cream seekers! They also have waffle cones and pints to go. Fun and delicious spot!

So many great unique vegan ice cream flavors! I really enjoyed the black sesame, you can also do an ice cream flight to try different flavors.

Really good ice creams flavors... staff were also very nice. We look choc chip cookie dough and oat milk brown sugar and they were yummy

Loved the cookie dough but lines are always discouraging. That said, we will return for more at this place.

When I go on vacation, one of my favorite things to do with the kids is search for vegan desserts, which isn't too hard these days when you're visiting a big city. Charleston is so lucky to have this little gem!! As far as the non-dairy and vegan options go, this place is a winner! There are about 6 or so very creative non-dairy ice cream options and a few creative sundae options as well! I was so happy to be able to offer my kiddo a the Cookie Monster Cone because every time we go to an ice cream shop, he either gets to choose from chocolate, vanilla or cookies & cream if we're lucky. He sure enjoyed the heck out of his ice cream, and so did I! That Vegan Fluffernutter is the stuff dreams are made of! It is marshmallow flavored non-dairy (cashew and coconut based) ice cream with pieces of their blondie and peanut butter. Oh my gosh. If I could take home pints of it, I would!! This spot, just Off Track of the main downtown area is an absolute must if you're visiting downtown Charleston, and if you live here, chances are, you've already been here and know what I'm talking about. Stopping here was definitely the highlight of my trip!

Top-tier ice cream. The waffle cones themselves could be its own signature product - so delicious. I had the fluffernutter blondie (vegan, though I'm not vegan, the flavor sounded amazing - and was) and cookies and cream cone. My wife had the cookies and cream and salted pretzel. I loved the fluffernutter and we both loved the cookies and cream - so rich and large cookie chunks. Line moves fast, don't be intimidated - we started right outside the door and were ordering shortly (5-10 min).

I loved the vegan flavors! Several to choose from and I was able to enjoy without getting sick. Would definitely go again! Had great ambiance too!

The ice cream was incredible! Such fresh amazing ingredients. The branding and space is beautiful. Only thing I'd knock would be the the service. I went in Friday, Nov 3rd around 4:45 and the girl that helped me was so unbelievably rude. I took a photo of the stacked cups because I thought they were cute and the girl serving me turned around and rolled her eyes at her coworkers standing behind her. She was VISIBLY annoyed. I felt so awkward and wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt so I let her know she wasn't in my photo in case that's why she was upset. She ignored that I said anything at all and told me my total. No "thank you" or "have a nice day" or anything. I wanted to leave a one star review to get the attention of the owners but hoping they see this anyway and have a chat with their staff about friendly customer service because I walked away pretty shocked by the encounter I also was only taking the photo so I could tag and share on Instagram which in my opinion, helps their business. I didn't get a photo to share after all Also see below my cup photo that got me attitude from the staff

It was very good. The place was empty and we could see them making the different add ins. Like the plain old flavors and would like to see more of that

The vegan ice cream variety was excellent. I had the PB&J and it was super jammy with big chunks of peanut butter. Please open a store in Charlotte!

Do NOT sleep on this ice cream shop! Without a doubt the best ice cream I've ever had. My husband and I have visited this shop 3x in our last two trips to Charleston. Locally sourced ingredients and no artificial anything. My favorites are Strawberry and Cookies and Cream, my husbands is Espresso Chip. We definitely recommend the flight as a date night though, so you can try a variety of flavors! A little pricey but worth every penny. The service is always great! If you don't like a crowd, go during the day. Nights are hopping with lines out the door but we've never had to wait too long. Works like a fine oiled machine and you'll be in and out quickly. 10/10 recommend.

It's a cute place. The customer service is excellent but the ice cream doesn't taste like anything. They have an eclectic list of flavors but it all tastes like nothing. It's almost amusing. How is that even possible? Please go. Try it. Let me what you think.

SO SO GOOD! The strawberry wow. This place was so clean and the ingredients in the ice cream are amazing. You can tell they take pride in the way they make it with such good ingredients. I am going to have to say in my top 3 ice cream spots.... must try on a hot day mid afternoon ice cream treat!

Best ice cream in Charleston! Great flavors and the space is so cute! I loved it so much that I went back a second time even in 100 degree Charleston summer day! Don't miss out!

i rated this 4 stars but my daughter thinks it is 5 stars as it is made fresh. they close pretty early. at 7:45 they dim the lights. i am here on a sunday so I am assuming they are trying to shut at 8pm sharp.

Off Track Ice Cream is a spacious store and with a great parking option, you have to pay but much better than paying for parallel parking on King St. There wasn't a really long line, and they were really patient as we tasted multiple flavors to decide which flavors to put in the flight. We ended up with Espresso chip, Fresh Mint, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Cookie Monster. The fresh mint was better than any mint chocolate chip than I've tasted before, the fresh mint was so refreshing and we all found ourselves going back to it. As a coffee lover, the espresso chip was perfect blend of sweet and slightly bitter. Of the two vegan flavors, the strawberry cheesecake was a little too rich for me, I think I'd prefer just the strawberry, and the Cookie Monster was surprisingly refreshing with the coconut base, even with the crushed oreo cookies in it. We shared the flight between three people and it was the perfect amount, probably would've been a little too much for two people. The flavors were not as oddball as some other establishments in Charleston, so I did feel like I wasn't getting anything too unique but the fresh mint was something different. I think I prefer other vegan flavors but their traditional ones are definitely the way to go!

I actually ordered off UberEats from this place and got the vegan Cookie Monster. It arrived within 20 mins. It would've been much cheaper if I had gone into the store but it was late and I was didn't want to walk alone to there. The ice cream was so delicious! The cookie dough bites were fantastic. The ice cream was so rich and creamy I couldn't even tell it was vegan!! Tasted like regular ice cream to me. I really want to come into the actual store and try another flavor.

Phenomenal vegan ice cream in the most adorable shop. There is a lot of seating available, the service was nice and they allowed us to sample the ice cream. I got a small and it was a big serving. I felt very full afterwards!
