Do you have sweet tooth? If so, you may want to cover its eyes for the next several minutes while you take a look at some of the most flavorful and creamy ice cream you've ever seen. If your sweet tooth occasionally takes over the steering wheel in your car, then you'll want to make you sure the very next time you're on this side of the state that you end up at this sweet little shop that makes their own homemade ice cream.
Gilberts Ice Cream is located in beautiful Pawleys island — the mainland, not the actual Pawleys Island.
The family-run ice cream business opened last year to widespread accolades. It's easy to see why!
All of their ice cream is hand-crafted right in their own kitchen using only the finest ingredients.

The baked goods that are part of their ice cream offerings are also made on site. Yum!

From banana splits to homemade waffle cones, sundaes and yes, even pies... Gilberts makes them all from scratch and they're delicious. So delicious that you may want to bring a cooler so you can take some home to put in the freezer!
That is, IF it makes it home. Their milkshakes are so thick and creamy you'll surely want to try one of these first, right?
With consistently perfect reviews of 5 stars, Gilberts has been declared by customers as the best they've ever had — especially from people who seem to take their ice cream VERY seriously.
Combine their bright and cheery atmosphere and super friendly service (on top of their already smooth and creamy homemade ice cream), and Gilberts just may be the best ice cream in the world!
You'll find them in Pawley's Station in Pawleys Island.
The physical address is 10080 Ocean Hwy. Unit 6, Pawleys Island, SC 29585. Gilberts is open seven days a week from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
