🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This business deserves 10 Stars! Like WOW. Staff is actually happy at work. Not just happy DELIGHTFUL. These two young ladies are a total vibe. My husband is a plain vanilla cone guy and they convinced him to try the St. Patrick's Day Pot of Gold Sunday now he's in love. I got my Chocolate Fantasy as an Oreo ice cream sandwich and added pecans ❣️So rich and delicious 😋. Can't wait to take my niblings here. The whole experience was so good I can't even tell you the price. Florence take notes because this is how you run a business.

Got ice cream while visiting recently and it was so good. I originally got one scoop of ice cream and my better half got a sundae. Of course I tried it and it was delicious as well. I enjoyed my ice cream so much that I ended up getting a shake made before we left. The customer service was top tier. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. I really appreciated how helpful and patient they were with me. I’ll definitely be stopping back by on my next trip!

Visiting our grandson in South Carolina, we stayed in the heart of Florence at the Tapestry hotel and walked down to Smiling Scoops to get some ice cream. What I experienced was nostalgia with old 1980’s candy and a variety of different ice cream and soft serve. I older the Biscoff soft serve cheesecake waffle cone. It was divine. Nice spot great ice cream and variety of candy!

I've visited multiple times and love it! The staff are the friendliest, and I appreciate how it's a team of pentathletes aiming to provide the best presentation in one's orders. Great job!
