The Bigfoot Trax was the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I love the combination of flavors. It was months ago and I still think about it often, wishing it was always available, and not 750 miles away. Every flavor I tried was excellent. I always choose to support a small business over a chain when possible.

The best ice cream I’ve ever had. Tried just about every flavor and you seriously can’t go wrong with any of them. My personal favorite was the raspberry lemon pie sherbet. Everything is made in house right down to the fresh fruit you can taste in the ice cream. The owner is wonderful and so are both employees I have met. If you’re looking for ice cream there is no other place to go!

Amazing ice cream and sorbet. Some of the flavors are made with honey, and yes, it shows. Huge variety of flavors (including seasonal options), super friendly staff, and great coffee options too.
Bonus points for the dessert special: a drink, a slice of cake, and a scoop of ice cream. Basically impossible to choose wrong here.
Highly recommend. Your sweet tooth will thank you.

What a delightful way to cap our Valentine’s Day in Marion! The clerk let us try some ice cream flavors and review the tea options, after which she successfully upsold us from the Dessert Special to the Valentine’s Day Special — to which she added more chocolate-covered strawberries than we were promised! Even though it was near closing time, we never felt rushed. Thank you for accommodating us on a wonderful holiday!

Sweet, literally and figuratively, ice cream shop! Locally owned, creative flavors, something for everyone. Their vegan options are killer. Picked up a pint to go, love their seasonal and monthly offerings, never dull. Oh, and they offer milkshakes!

Voted BEST ICE CREAM IN NORTH CAROLINA (2025 NC Tripping) for a REASON! So good!!! One of the best places in downtown Marion. It’s worth making a trip here just for Artesana—but stay a while and explore the rest while you’re here.

A sweet treat on Main Street. The lady behind the counter was very patient and nice, and the service was very swift as I had barely finished paying and was handed three cones.
The store inside, as well as the outside seating, was all very clean and orderly. The interior of the shop was bright and the menu was simple and easy to understand, so simple my 6 year old was ready to order after about 45 seconds.
My daughter particularly enjoyed her cookies and cream on a cake cone. The caramel ice-cream, peanut butter and the waffle cones were equally delicious. With the tip the price averaged out to about 6.50 per cone; however the portions were larger than I was expecting.
Overall it was a fun experience for the whole family and I heartily recommend it to anyone with a craving for a quick scoop of homemade ice-cream.

The love and perfection put into the ice cream here is what makes it the best around. Not counting all the different, delicious flavors. I can never pick just one! Hands down my favorite weekend ice cream place!
