Nexton is home to not one, not two, but five places to satisfy your sweet tooth. Whether you're craving a classic cone, frozen yogurt piled high with toppings, refreshing Italian ice or a sundae that could double as dinner (we won't judge), there's a dessert destination waiting just around the corner.
So grab the kids. Text your neighbors. And hurry on over.
Here's your guide to the best places for ice cream in Nexton.
Ever Creamery
If handcrafted ice cream is your love language, start here.
Ever Creamery has quickly become one of Nexton's favorite dessert stops, serving up small-batch ice cream in a bright, welcoming space. Whether you're loyal to classics like chocolate and vanilla or can't resist trying the latest seasonal flavor, every visit feels like a little celebration.
It's the perfect excuse to linger after dinner or reward yourself after a little retail therapy around Nexton Square.
Scoop 50Fifty
This is where dessert gets a little extra.
Alongside more than 50 premium ice cream flavors, you'll find towering milkshakes, flights, floats and their fan-favorite waffle cone nachos - crispy waffle cone pieces topped with three scoops of ice cream and all your favorite toppings. It's the kind of dessert that's almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard
Some days call for ice cream.
Other days call for something a little lighter.
Locally owned and operated, Rita's serves refreshing Italian ice, creamy frozen custard and its famous Gelati - a delicious combination of both. Their seasonal rotation of flavors, like this month's sparkly and delicious Mermaid Blender, are perfect for keeping cool on these classic South Carolina summer afternoons. It's truly hard to imagine anything more refreshing.
sweetFrog
When everyone wants something different, sweetFrog wins every time.
Choose your frozen yogurt flavor, then head to the topping bar where fresh fruit, candy, cookies, sauces and sprinkles let everyone build their own masterpiece.
The kids love it.
Let's be honest...the adults usually do too.
