Best chocolate milkshake that I’ve ever had. It was topped with whipped cream. Thick and delicious.
We brought home some popcorn and chocolates and they were delicious.
Great choice of ice cream flavors.
The adjacent store had a lot of unique gifts. From lovely greeting cards to serving dishes, accessories and very classy souvenirs.
The owner was so nice and his children work there too. Great atmosphere.

College town vibe and nice hang out place, reasonably priced fresh ice cream with seasonal flavors available. Tried peach and butter pecan. Tables have fresh flowers in small vases. Nice place which we will visit again.

Been here a few times exploring outside campus and absolutely love it! The gift shop has a ton of super cute Blacksburg and VT gifts as well as local artist’s works which are adorable and perfect a perfect gift for a student. Some items are higher in price, but they are locally made and good quality. The ice cream was great, too and they always have fun themed sundaes. We had the Sandman sundae and it was great! Prices for icecream were reasonable and they had a great variety.

The Sugar Magnolia Ice Cream and Gift Shop is a must-visit if you are Blacksburg, VA. The Ice Cream was so good (I had the Mint Chocolate Chip) that I forgot to take a picture before I dove in, thus the half-eaten cone. The Key Lime truffle melted in my mouth like a river of flavor, worth every penny.
The shop is full of curious things: beer flavored pretzels, games, unique greeting cards, paint sets, puzzles, and other trinkets. The staff is friendly (one was a graduate from Virginia Tech) and the place was so inviting that I had a hard time leaving.
Stop in for some Ice Cream and look around.

We do LOVE a good ice cream shoppe. And baby this is it right here if you’re in downtown Blacksburg or the vicinity. It’s worth the occasional hassle of finding parking. (But don’t park in the post office lot no matter how inviting it may look…they actually do tow. We parked in there recently along with several others and happened to be sitting in the car when the tow truck driver arrived, much to our surprise.) But back to the ice cream…it is definitely worth the extra couple of pounds you’ll gain from it. There aren’t words. And they even offer pup cups. And a few tables outside to enjoy your sweet treat with or without your let. What I love most about this shoppe, aside from the fact that it never fails to satisfy my ice cream cravings, is that it is the cutest little shoppe inside a shoppe. They have great stuff to look at and buy while you’re eating your ice cream including Harry Potter and other assorted puzzles, lots of “classy” Blacksburg and VT things including some jewelry, scented candles, unique cards, stuff for the bride, all sorts of different things some of which change every couple of months. We always find stuff we want to buy while we’re in there eating our ice cream and rarely do we leave empty handed. It’s a definite don’t miss while you’re in Blacksburg or visiting Virginia Tech. And it’s right on Main Street downtown so it’s easy to find. Enjoy! And have a scoop for me please.

This is the most amazing gift shop and ice cream/chocolate/candy store! My friends and I fell in love with the selection of gift cards and could’ve spent forever flipping through them. So happy we stopped in!

Cute spot. The ice cream was very good. They had the standard flavors along with signature ones, like banana pudding. Closing time is 10PM which is great

Beautiful shop with very tasty ice cream & chocolates! The hot chocolate & ice cream combo is a must have during cold months! The staff are always pleasant & the owners go above and beyond on costumer service! I love how as elegant as their shop is they welcome my children to explore and enjoy the shop as well! Great addition to our town.

I love this shop! The ice cream is delicious, and the atmosphere is so lovely. This ice cream place also has a gift shop corner where I spent a lot of time. The service is great, and I had a very good experience.
