The Sugar Shack

Really good ice cream. I got the coconut ice cream and it was amazing. The staff are nice and the place is really clean. They have plenty of candy options along with lots of ice cream options. It gets pretty busy at certain times as it is a popular place though so keep that in mind. I would recommend stopping it was really good.

We stayed around the corner and visited 1-2 per day. The waffles are great, my husband loved their coffee with two shots of vanilla, he also loved their red velvet cake ice cream, and I loved their sugar cone with chocolate peanut butter overload. Angie was so friendly and she recognized us our second visit and remembered things we had mentioned before…seemed like she knew everyone who came in and everyone loved her!

One of the most eye-catching, cutest ice cream shops I've seen. There is every type of candy you can think of along with multiple ice cream flavors. The outside seating area has the MOST ADORABLE table & chair sets I've ever seen! It was a great stop to cure our sugar teeth 😉

Stop by if you’re on Tybee looking for great ice cream, endless supply of candy, and family fun atmosphere. Really enjoyed the visit and they also have an affordable golf cart rental for those who really want to sight see and travel on Tybee.

The Sugar Shack is about two blocks away from the AirBnB we are staying at and we saw it our first night on the island. Yesterday was a scorcher and after being on the beach for about an hour, my wife and I decided to run in and grab an ice cream cone. We’d not tried this location before, but we are certainly glad we did. The place was fairly busy with a large line at the counter. There are a few parking spaces for the business in a side lot and on the other side of the building, but other than that, it’s paid parking. We still had time left from our beach parking so that wasn’t really an issue. There is a covered area out front that has small colorful tables with cute chairs in the shape of ice cream cones. Inside the shop, there is a large candy selection and the decor is fun and kind of retro. This reminded me of the long defunct Heidi’s Ice Cream back home in Pompano Beach, FL. This place has a real mom and pop old time beach ice cream shop vibe going on and I loved it. The staff were super busy but polite and they had a special flavor called Key Lime Pie that we both tried. Wow! It really was like a Key Lime pie. The ice cream was smooth and velvety with a creamy texture (it will melt instantly when you emerge into the heat!), but it had the right mixture of tart and sweet that a legit Key Lime Pie should have. There were plentiful amounts of graham cracker crust in the ice cream, too. It was truly a treat! I regret that I had to take a picture of a partially eaten cone when I got back to the car, but it was so good that a photo of the cone was almost an afterthought! Just understand that the cone was far more ample before I made it back to my vehicle!

Good ice cream. Extremely popular place, very busy. They have 10+ ice cream flavors, shakes, banana splits, ice cream sandwiches, pretty much everything you could want. Very kitschy vibe.

Line was out the door.

We adore The Sugar Shack! Incredible ice cream, welcoming staff, and the cutest outdoor seating. Our favorite ice cream was the Cookies and Cream. We also took advantage of the small shop area with different candies. We came several times during our week long trip and really enjoyed it.

Everything was great! The milkshakes were the best part! Riley was our server and was very attentive and nice. Kelly, the manager, was great!

New Owners are killing it! It's so cute already and I'm so excited to see the sugar shack have a new life!! Ice cream is delish and such a cute photo op with the ice cream chairs outside

Great place for ice cream with cute seating outside. The scoops are huge and delicious. My family enjoyed it!

Good selection of ice cream that was really tasty, and the woman at the counter was friendly even tho it was busy. My daughter had to go to that ice cream shop due to the ice cream cone shaped tables and chairs outside for the customers.

We rented a golf cart / side by side for a couple hours to check out the back streets of Tybee Island. The lady that rented it to me was very thorough in the explanation of safety responsibilities and the laws on the island prohibiting where you cannot go with this motorized cart. We paid about $95 bucks for 2 hours or we could have gotten it for 24 hours for like $187 or something. Everything was great though. Just a quick heads up, you have to stop and put gas in before you take it back so factor 10 minutes of your time for that.

Don’t listen to the poor reviews, this place is a gem. It’s VERY much an old piece of history but absolutely darling. The man working is spunky but kind. My coffee wasn’t burnt or scalding hot, which makes me very happy. Food for 7 came out incredibly quick and my croissant was perfectly flaky and delicious. Everyone loved their breakfast!

Loved this place! Definitely an expensive experience, but the staff were very nice and the ice cream was even better! I'm pretty sure its 24 flavors and they all looked yummy. I got a one scoop waffle cone, which honestly was like a two scoop, for $6.25ish dollars. Very good! I'd definitely eat here again, it's not too overpriced where I wouldn't come because it's to be expected, but the amount of ice cream they give you for one scoop is nice! They also have a little candy shop right next through a door on the other side of the shop where you can fill up bags of candy! That's really cool! Anyway, I recommend this place! It was clean, organized, and an overall good quality shop!

Basic menu and food but very good for what it is!! Had a good double cheeseburger and fries. It is all take out but there is a nice area with tables to sit outside.
Service was excellent!!

I absolutely love The Sugar Shack, it's a true authentic Tybee experience. I've been coming here since I was a kid and not much has changed. Here patience is a virtue as sometimes it's a one man show behind the counter but despite that, it is the BEST place on the island to get an ice cream cone or milkshake, that is if you can overlook it's - shall we say, extremely well-worn facade. And it's always a good time sitting and watching the cars and bikes go by. We visited three times in three days ordering peach milkshakes until they ran out of peaches. If I knew they had restocked them, we would have returned the entire week we were there!! The large milkshakes are a bit pricey but they do come in a 32 oz. cup which is larger than most! The nostalgia that this place holds is enough to keep me coming back! Thanks Sugar Shack!!

Great spot for ice cream and candy. Kids love the location and they have your golf cart rentals ready

The staff was super friendly! It was very clean and reasonably priced! Will definitely be back the next time we come to Tybee!

This is the cutest I’ve cream shop! The ice cream and service were excellent! We’ll definitely be back plenty this summer.

Delicious ice cream served with a smile. Awesome seating area with ice cream decor.
