Hilton Head Ice Cream
Hilton Head Ice Cream is a small homemade ice cream shop at 55 New Orleans Road, on the south end of the island near Coligny. The shop says it has been making its own ice cream since 1982, for visitors and for local restaurants, and the case shows it: many flavors scooped from the tubs behind the glass.
What to Get at Hilton Head Ice Cream
Reviewers name banana pudding, cookie dough, Reese’s peanut butter cup, Oreo and birthday cake, and the mango sorbet is the pick if you want something lighter. Staff are generous with samples, so taste a few before you commit. It is a place for cones and cups rather than a full dessert menu.
Lines and Hours
The line can run out the door on a warm evening, but it moves quickly. Hours are in the card above. Inside, license plates from around the country cover a wall. Pets are not allowed in the shop.
