I'm going to be a bit redundant and follow the other reviews already posted; Cali's Scoops is a Thrifty Ice Cream shop. If you haven't already had Thrifty Ice Cream, you owe it to yourself to try it out, whether it be at Cali's Scoops or elsewhere. It's really some of the best ice cream out there.\n\nThat said, Cali's Scoops is a solid place to get said ice cream. Yes, the shop is tiny--blink and you'll miss it if you're cruising down Charleston--but the shop owner has done everything he can to make it visible, including multiple giant lit signs that you can see coming down Charleston from either direction.\n\nThe parking lot is tiny, but I've never seen it full enough to cause problems getting in or out. For those worried about it being sketchy, you can really put those fears aside; not only is the parking lot super well-lit, but they also have multiple cameras set up to deter any kind of possible ne'er do well lurkers.\n\nThe shop's size is a reflection of the parking lot; basically enough space to walk around, check out all the flavors, and pay. Definitely not a sit-down restaraunt, but you're getting ice cream, so who needs that? The staff is always helpful and friendly, quick to offer up samples so that you can make an informed purchase. They also offer some small snack foods on the side. They accept cash and credit/debit card, and have a stamp card program where you can earn a free cone for every five purchases you make.\n\nMy girlfriend and I have been here quite a few times (we live right down the street) and have yet to have anything but a positive experience. I don't think you can count Cali's Scoops size and location against it; the selection/quality of the ice cream and the helpfulness of the staff make up for any shortcomings. We've already made this our go-to for any ice cream cravings.
