Sweeter Things Ice Cream Shack

I stopped by here on a cold rainy day on my lunch break. The employee was incredibly kind and lovely to talk to. Very affordable price with how much you get. I spent $4 with tax on two scoops. I will most definitely be stopping here whenever I’m in town!

I absolutely love this place. The ice cream is always soft and beyond scrumptious! The staff is amazing and welcoming. Never a sad or unpleasant experience anytime I visit.

Sweeter Things ice cream shack as a fun experience for the family this Memorial Day weekend. Lots and lots of flavors of ice cream to choose from could be a little overwhelming. Defiantly something for everyone! We had the orange sherbet, cappuccino crunch, and the chocolate overload. A variety of vendor shops inside the shack as well was fun to look and shop while enjoying ice cream. Also, there are games on the tables for some family fun. 10/10 recommend. You should stop by!

Highly recommended! Cutest little shop with the biggest variety of ice creams, so many flavors to choose from, but oh so good! My husband had a root beer float yesterday, it was so good he went again today and had ice cream sandwich, he was in heaven! If you haven’t tried them yet, please stop by. Great customer service too! 👍🏻

Such a cute local flavor of a place!! Great selection of ice cream and treats. They also have a great selection of locally made novelty gift type items and decor. We will definitely come back when we are in the area and definitely recommend that you stop in and give them a try. You won't regret it.

Awesome place. Needed an ice cream fix and this was the ticket. Awesome sundaes and great selection of real ice cream. Owner was very nice and has a neat collection of local artists work and specialty items for sale also. You must stop by!

Pretty cool local shop with local art for sale and they have ice cream too. The staff is very friendly. I had lots of fun eating ice cream and playing checkers with my wife.

Absolutely amazing ice cream, costumer service, and just people in general! We just tried their new coffee bar this morning and it's definitely our new favorite coffee place in swansboro! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Cutest lil ice cream shack around. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Ice cream was FANTASTIC

Super cute little ice cream place! Great ice cream and TONS of flavors. Lots of unique gifts inside too. There is seating inside and a few tables outside too. Can’t wait to try the connected coffee shop too!

Very nice, clean, maybe need to move seating away (I know it's small) from where you choose your flavors, by register.
Saw people making faces because others were trying to choose what they wanted, and the ones that were seated were making faces and lewd remarks because they were too close and they ( intitled) did want them that close.

I wanted to suggest to them, " move or leave", don't make a nice, comfortable, very pleasant place, and the staff soooò helpful and they have manners, and it's a clean environment.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU FOR OPENING.... PLEASE HANG AROUND HERE LONGER. AND GREAT STAFF....

AWESOME SHOP!!! So adorable! Tons of flavors and a good amount of ice cream for a great price! Loved playing checkers with my husband and the building was nice and cool for my newborn baby ! Staff was so nice! Can’t wait to come back !

Our favorite place to get ice cream! So many choices! Great staff and fun environment!

This ice cream shop is more than an ice cream shop. They also support a variety of local businesses or artists. That added bonus is the reason I keep coming back. Yes, the ice cream is wonderful, but stopping in to see who is being featured in the spaces is my favorite part. I have found gifts in this shop meant for family across the country. I even found something fun for a new hobby of mine. The staff is wonderful! The father of the owner is a stitch! He always makes our trips in such a joy. Family owned vibes in deed! Recommended for locals looking to support several businesses at the same time. Or visitors on their way to or from the beach.

Great selection of ice cream and an even larger selection of local goods. There are plenty of flavors that you won't find anywhere else and the prices are not only fantastic but the serving sizes are also great.

I think my favorite part of the place is the staff who are not only helpful and kind but very funny.

My only issue with the place is the parking lot. I'm not really sure if the side of the lot is grass or road and end up driving off of it anyway.

Definitely a place to go to get your ice cream fix especially late. Open till 10 on Friday / Saturday!

Good flavor selection for ice cream. Also a cute gift shop inside. Bonus were the games/puzzles to keep the kiddos busy.

This place is truly something special! Great atmosphere. The staff was extra friendly, the ice cream flavors and unique sundae combinations are the best we've had. We were drawn in by all the unique handmade gifts inside and I am so glad we were. I also loved that there are puzzles and games at the tables for guests to play. Great place!

Great prices and very friendly staff. Ice cream was delicious. Great gift shop
