Beardcat's Sweet Shop: Reviews & Ratings
The gelato was so good that it made me emotional. This was the best pistachio gelato I have had outside of Italy. I will be thinking about it until the next time I visit Charleston and am reunited. The Biscoff almond was also delicious. It was so hard to pick a second flavor because all the ones I sampled were phenomenal. Also, the logo!!! A burly beard with a kitty cat in it, absolute perfection.
Butter pecan is fantastic. So is every other flavor I’ve had (there was a pistachio chocolate crunch one time, keep hoping it will be back). Best ice cream in the area
Vegan options! Chocolate and coconut sorbet were delicious! Got a oatmilk iced latte and it was one of the best i had in a long time!
Didn’t know about this place that was right below OD! We wanted something sweet after dinner and it was conveniently nearby. Cute place with shop that sold some swag. Hubby got the Salted Olive Oil gelato since it was GF and I got the coffee. Flavors were on point, but the texture was just too soft. For me I feel like gelato is a cross between hard and soft serve. A nice firmer texture but still creamy and soft. This was almost leaning in a soft melted stage, but since I had it in a cone it was a bit difficult to eat. The guy did warn me about the cone breaking because he gave me a cup. The waffle cone itself was delicious, but thin. My cone completely fell apart as I got halfway and gelato was melting quickly. But again, as for taste it was good.
The most important thing to say about Beardcat's is that they have, hands down, the best gelato in the area. It's creamy, light and delicious. The pistachio is refreshingly natural with real nuts (not extract) and no crazy coloring. The other flavors are very good. We've found our new gelato place.
first time visiting here. Gelato was very creamy and light. ingredients seemed fresh. I got pistachio since so many positive reviews but I found a strange aftertaste. I would not order it again. also got almond biscoff which was very good with bits of candied pecans i believe! hubby tried stratchiatelli which was just ok , a little bland, did not taste a vanilla flavor IMO. I would go back to try other flavors. Gelato cookie sandwiches did look very good.
I love Gelato, and this place has legit Gelato. Perfect dessert after going to the Obstinate Daughter. My personal favorite was the pistachio gelato and my wife really likes the coffee gelato. They also sell shirts, mugs, and cookies and noodles that you can take home to bake and cook. Really cool spot.
Bought gelato and a cup of dirty chai. Took a minute to get ,but it started to get busy after our party ordered. Worth the wait!
