OTHER OPTIONS: They may not be 100% scoopable, but they’re 100% delicious and we wouldn’t have these Main Street ice cream concoctions any other way.
CRÈME SHACK
For one of the coolest ice-cream experiences around, watch as ice cream rolls are made-to-order by talented artisans right before your eyes. (It’s how they roll!) Mixed by hand on freezing pans, ice cream rolls are then placed vertically into a bowl and covered with toppings. This technique was originally known as “Thai rolled” or “stir-fried” ice cream. Different and delicious!
BANANA PUDDING
SPILL THE BEANS
Start with a vanilla or chocolate ice cream, or a yogurt base, and then get creative. Blend in nuts, rum, pretzels, candy, and fruit—the possibilities are almost endless! If you’ve never ordered gummy bears on your ice cream, you don’t know what you’re missing.
MARBLE SLAB CREAMERY
With more than 75 flavors of homemade, fresh ice cream and unlimited mix-ins, Marble Slab was the first on the scene to use a frozen-slab technique to serve up smallbatch creations. Imagination has no limits here and all cravings will be satisfied!

Featuring GREENville buttercream, graham cracker bunnies for the Prisma Health Swamp RABBIT Trail, a Liberty Bridge sugar cookie, locally made popcorn, and more mixed in a unique #yeahTHATgreenville-themed jar.
