They do things way different out here. There are only three artisans rolling ice cream. The flair of which washed off standing in line for fifteen minutes and still not being served. Great concept . Would work better in NYC
You know those hibachi places that cook in front of you? Well, Rolling Monkey is basically that in ice cream form. You get really good ice cream and they also have gluten-free options.
I love everything about this place from the atmosphere to the super friendly service it makes the $7 worthwhile.. excellent for any occasion.. I just wish it was bigger because it can get loud in there but its a happy loud.. the acoustics make me want to scream hey you guys☠️🏴☠️ .
Today was our first visit and it was great. She helped us pick our ice cream and made a right in front of us which was cool for my baby to see. It was delicious and I loved the vibe there. They even toast your marshmallows right in front of you :-)
The staff is very courteous.The flavors are really great.If youre going for the flavors & toppings & blend in items & the presentation of frozen cream prep in front of you, its hard to beat. If youre going for ice cream, it might not satisfy & definitely is not the cheapest. The ratio of stuff in/on the ice cream to the ice cream is high.Again, the flavors are great but your satisfaction depends what youre seeking.
Rolling monkey is a great place for a cool treat any time. My kids love it. The staff is amazing. The best customer service / experience in town. The only con is that it is very expensive. But you get what you pay for as they say! You will not be disappointed! Keep up the good work y’all
It was good and I like the choice of animal or vegan base. Love the atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and entertaining. My only complaint is the music is so loud you can hardly here what anyone is saying.
I have been to Rolling Monkey a few times with my daughter, and had an okay experience the other times, but this weekend, after purchasing 3 cups (and spending over $20), my 5 year old got thirsty, so we asked for a glass of water. We were told they sold water, but we asked again if we could just get a cup (in the past they put water in the batter cups), finally an employee gave us a pointy cup and we had to get HOT water from the bathroom!!!! After all the fake niceties they do when they are rolling your ice cream, I was just shocked that we could not get a glass of room temperature tap water!! This ice cream is not cheap, water is not too much to ask for, especially considering how your business model is based on being friendly and family oriented. Very disappointing.
We finally made it & it happened to be national ice-cream day it was packed. The staff is awesome, my kids enjoyed it, the ice was good & the price was decent. We will actually stop again whenever we are in the area.
My ice cream maker was grace sorry if I got that wrong. She took cues from my outfit to engage me in conversation the whole time she was making my ice cream. Everyone was very friendly. The restaurant itself was very inviting. The ice cream is epic with loads of toppings. I loved it here and will be back. Best place for ice cream in town.
The employees here are so incredibly friendly and efficient! My kids had a blast talking to them and watching them create their treats. Great flavors and tons of options. For sure my favorite ice cream in Statesboro!
Ice cream was delicious..really liked the procedure they make ice cream right in front of you.. associates get a 10 as far as courtious and friendly
Solid experience all around. We tried two different types of ice cream and both were fantastic. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The only complaint (which isnt really significant) were the spoons that were provided which were a little flimsy. Overall great experience and would go back to try the different flavors.
We went on a Saturday, between 2 & 3pm, and the line was very long. But they prepare your ice cream, literally, by hand, so it is understandable that you may have to wait. It took us about 20 to 30 mins to get our ice cream. You pay for your ice cream 1st ($6.50 and up, per bowl), then an employee will take your bowl to their work station. The stations are these very large, silver, metal plate areas where they lay your topping choices and pour out your cream. The metal slabs are freezing cold and they use scraper tools to move and chop and mix your cream and toppings until its been turned into ice cream! They smear it out, very flat. Then, using the edge of the scraper, theyll push it under the thin layer of ice cream, towards you, creating a roll. Theyll use tongs to put your rolls in your bowl and take it to one final station. Theres another board on the wall here and it has quite a list of additional toppings! You choose whatever else youd like in your bowl, they assemble it on top and provide you with a spoon and napkins and youre good to go! I chose Mint to be. It was flavored with 2 mint chocolate Oreo cookies. My husband chose Have a Peanut Better Day. It was flavored with peanut butter sauce, a Nutter Butter cookie and brownie bites. The 1st couple bites were very hard, because it was frozen stiff BUT it was absolutely delicious! We felt like it had been worth the wait! We will definitely go again. As far as I could tell, they have around 15 or so different toppings to create your ice cream with. They are extremely friendly! BUT, besides the wait, the only other thing that may surprise you is the noise...because there are 4 different metal slab work stations with 4 different employees hammering metal scraper tools onto a metal slab to chop and break up your toppings and create ice cream...and theres todays music playing loudly and its a very small store so all the people talking and kids being kids ☺, it is a very loud experience. But again, the ice cream was very delicious, service was amazingly friendly (and fast as could be done). We completely enjoyed it.
Rolled ice cream was good but, experience there was terrible. They had music pumping so loud in there the workers had to holler at you to get your order. Kids playing in there in those swinging chairs al.oat knocked me down. Parents were not controlling them. We sat at table and had to holler at each other just to talk. We finally hurried and finished ice cream and left. Brighter note store is extremely clean.
First time Ive heard of or seen rolled ice cream. Absolutely great tasting, and friendly, welcoming staff. Definitely recommend checking this place out. Vegan options available too.
Everyone was friendly and it was a fun experience for my daughter. She might have gotten enough toppings to send me into diabetic shock just looking at it.
Really is some of the best people that you will ever meet and the ice cream is awesome!!!
Amazing...all I can say!
Great place to go get some ice cream. The workers here are super friendly!
Ice cream was awesome. Had a pleasant experience. Workers was so nice at Rolling Monkey.
Hilarious staff for energy to keep u smiling all day. Cool showy creation displays while they unite your ingredients. Slightly pricy.
I have graduated and moved out of state. I will really miss their coffee ice cream. It got so bad that the employees knew me by name when I visited. I love what you get for the price. The staff was very friendly. I also really love the atmosphere and overall aesthetic of the store. They even offer curbside pickup.
A unique experience for the kids and great interaction from the staff
The facts that we can choose the extra toppings is a fun addon to the already great tasting icecream
Wonderful service 👏and fantastic experience the greatest ice cream ever ❤😀
The food is very good and the staff are very nice, but it is very loud in there and the staff insist upon making small talk
Greatest ice cream place Ive ever been to.
Good ice cream, friendly people... Which is rare for people under age 35. They must found a time machine and got got kids from the 80s! Lol. Price was not bad either. All around good experience!
The ice cream is great and the servers are personable. The music is a little loud to carry a conversation but I appreciate the effort to chat while we wait and admire the artistry.
They roll your ice cream on front of you. Interesting. The rollers are friendly and talkative. Nice place.
I’ve cream is very good but customer service is top notch! Was in town for work and stopped by after work for a treat and it didn’t disappoint.
Probably one of the best testing ice creams I have ever tried. Its fun to watch them make it.It is a bit expensive for the small amount of ice cream you get but to be fair, you can go crazy on the toppings. I felt the high quality was worth the price.Quiet/shy people be warned, the staff likes to talk and hold conversations. They were all incredibly friendly though, but on top of the loud music, masks, and everybody else talking, you cant hear half of what theyre saying. I wish they would just turn down the music a little.I would definitely recommend and hope to go again.
Loved this place. Experience was amazing & the ice cream was good too.
Good but expect loud blasting music when you enter . The employees are very enthusiastic and usually start a convo with the customers. They have to yell bc the loud music.
Amazing Ice Cream! Friendly staff.
Ashlyn did a great job making the Ice cream for me and my brothers! She was very polite, as was the rest of the staff! Really enjoy coming here and would refer it to anyone in the mood for ice cream with great service on top!
Fantastic shop. Ive always been entranced watching videos of servers using the super chilled metal tables to roll up the ice cream- seeing it in person is 10x cooler! (No pun intended) Im not actually an ice cream person (I have to really be in the mood for it) but this place really hits the spot and the experience makes it overall better and makes you desire it.Sucks the swing chairs are closed off.I hate I forgot my phone at home otherwise I would have videoed and photographed my first experience there. I ordered mint chocolate with M&Ms and the nice lady drew the Rolling Monkey logo on mine along with my name in chocolate syrup- I didnt even ask her for it, it just happened and was a surprise! My husbands server wrote his name too but spelled it wrong- it was funny.Loved this small, friendly, clean, inexpensive, and unique stop. Will visit again. I highly recommend it to your sweet tooth!
The icecream was AMAZING! I will be going back. The service was great. 10000/10
Super cute atmosphere, love the detail and uniqueness of the space. Amazing ice cream & they personalize it all to you! My kids and especially my husband love this place. You won’t be disappointed!
First time visiting. Great experience
Such a fun and unique experience! Great for all ages. Friendly and fun service. Best icecream by far in Statesboro. I recommend it to everyone. Decent location and cute atmosphere.
Love the ice cream love the serviceI dont like the loudness of the room the floorplan & ceilings need to be reconsidered as autistic kids would NEVER be okay with the NOISE level.AlsoThe rules need to be reconsidered ! Open or dont but halfway is not okay.Families go here for a good time and if parks are open tables are open the swings should be also spray them with a cleaner and allow parents to decide if their child can swing.
Great ice cream.. Always crowded and lines are a little slow.. But that is to be expected being they have to mix up the ingredients and they roll up the ice cream.. Customer service is awesome 👌
Ice cream good. Service is friendly.
Fun. Tasty. Friendly. Happy.
This was our first time in The Rolling Monkey We were impressed with the friendliness of the ladies. They actively engaged us in conversation and made the entire experience a joy. A locally owned business we will gladly visit again. Thank you.
Curbside service is friendly and easy, and the ice cream scrumptious. The Fruity Pebbles version of their Breakfast in Bed treat is highly recommended.
Atmosphere, experience,staff and of course the ice cream are excellent. Its literallyhand-crafted ice cream with a personal touch. Staff interact very well with customers, providing a welcoming, go-to unwinding place. On multiple occasions weve interacted with the owner, unbeknownst to us at first because her involvement with the whole process, we thought she was part of the staff, showing her true passion for the entire experience. All of these make Rolling Monkey our favorite place in town!!!
The ice cream is so yummy and the service is amazing! We come here all the time and never have a bad experience. :) Ive tried almost every flavor and theyre all amazing but the Blush Berry weekly special was my favorite.
I love the rolling monkey! Would recommend to everyone! They also do small parties for a very reasonable price and they are great to work with. The ice cream is so creamy and they even have vegan options which is nice! Whether your looking for something sweet on a Saturday night or something fun to have at a party I would recommend them for both!
First time visiting. Drove an hour. Not disappointed! In loveeee.
Loved it . A fun place for all
Love the atmasphier,and the people they are real friendly.
So amazing! First thing was the wonderful smell that we noticed when we walked in the door...then watching them make each creation before your eyes was totally fun! It was so much fun! I took my two youngest sons and they loved the hanging chairs to sit in. But the best part was the taste! It was amazing, very smooth and creamy. Absolutely delicious!! This will be our favorite treat place!
Great treats made right in front of you. Dont forget to ask for extra pops.
1st time going and it was neat they drawl on the ice cream and it was neat the way they make it.
Unfortunately we didn’t get to try the ice cream which were were all excited to try but they made my mom leave the shop because she was unable to stand in the line. My mom is disabled and I set my mom in a chair away from any customers while I waited in a line with 20 people that were close together. She was practicing social distancing more than anyone else sitting in the chair. I’m upset that people can’t use common sense especially when you have a disabled person and you ask them to leave. I know that people aren’t aloud to eat in but for goodness sake please let a disabled person have a seat. We enjoyed ice cream at another place instead.
The staff is super friendly. Our goodies were amazing and we will definitely be going back!
First time! Some of the best icecream Ive had in a very long time!
You guys come here AMAZING. Waited on by the owner never had a clue. Love the atmosphere the ice cream is REAL ice cream. Come you will not be disappointed promise. To much to describe come by!
Fantastic ice cream place - such a fun experience! They mix and roll the ice cream in front of you. Unlimited toppings of your choice! Staff was very friendly and on top of their tasks. Great experience. Ice cream itself is delicious and so creamy! Will be back!
Have to admit, best ice cream I have ever had. I loved the unique idea and the options were amazing. The staff were nice and being able to watch the icecream be made was the best. While I havent been in awhile, I cant wait until I am able to return
Great service and ice cream is excellent
Loved all of the choices they had. My favorite was an Oreo mix and Rain the server was very helpful and nice
This was my first experience with rolled ice cream and I have to say... it didnt disappoint at all. I was greeted with friendly smiles from the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out. The owner, Meagan, is very sweet and very visble. The environment is so welcoming and the music and decor add to the friendly and upbeat vibe. I can say with 100% positivity that it is businesses like this that will leave lasting impressions on those who visit. Ill definitely be returning. 11/10 would recommend.
Great atmosphere and very nice staff. Love this place!
Such a great experience. Not only is the ice cream amazing, but the atmosphere is so fun-- you cant help but be happy here. When we got there, it was a Friday night and quite busy. The line moved quickly and we were entertained watching the process of them roll ice cream. Cant wait to go back and try more flavors!
First time there and it was pretty busy but the wait wasnt terrible at all. The atmosphere is very relaxed and modernized. Might be a little pricey as its rolled ice cream but I would come back.
I went here with 3 other family members all of which say this was great ice cream. I really enjoyed watching the people make the ice cream. Now you dont have to wonder crazy things as for whats going on in the kitchen and whats happening to my food? There was a wait but the ice cream was well worth it. Im defently going back on of these days. Thank you to the staff and the owner for helping make this possible. It really is amazing!
Amazing staff, decor, and quality of food. Great vegan options. Insanely friendly and creative. I love this!
Our family was passing through while on vacation and we decided to stop in! The owner held the door open and greeted us herself, took the time to notice and chit chat with us! It was my first time ever having rolled ice cream, she explained the process and followed up by checking on us! We found out they support local businesses by getting most of their ingredients from said local businesses! The staff was fun, friendly, and the entire experience was super pleasant! Im won, next time we pass through we will DEFINITELY be stopping back in!
Rolling Monkey is the BEST! The place has the coolest vibe and watching the staff roll the ice cream is the coolest. Every time I’ve gone in they always make sure to give the best customer service experience.
