Word on the street
What locals are saying
Freddo's is a small Argentine-Italian gelato café tucked into the upscale stretch of King Street, offering gelato, empanadas, milkshakes, yerba mate, and espresso. Reviews are genuinely split: fans rave about the dulce de leche gelato and flaky empanadas, while a notable share of reviewers report freezer-burnt, gritty gelato that doesn't live up to the 'artisan' billing, and empanadas that can arrive underfilled and bland — with prices ($17+ for gelato) amplifying the disappointment. It draws mostly tourists and shoppers rather than a devoted local regular crowd, and has no meaningful Reddit footprint among Charleston residents.
