27 Best Ice Cream Shops in Birmingham

“Great place to do Pilates 💛“

“Great customer service, and the ice cream is fantastic. I definitely would recommend!“

“The staff is always super nice!! The Gooey Butter cake is the best ice cream I've ever had!!“

“I love this place! They have so many flavors to choose from!“

“I was craving some good chicken tenders and coleslaw. I remembered seeing this place and wanted to try it out. 10/10 in my opinion. The chicken tenders are so tasty and the sauces are all great. We tried bbq sauce, honey mustard and ranch. We also had the fries which were amazing! We will definitely be back to try other things on the menu and to try some of the custard. The price for 7 tenders, regular fry, coleslaw and 2 extra sauces came out to a little over 20 bucks.“

“One of my favorite places in Homewood. They have SO many flavors and dessert options. Even if your favorite isn't in rotation, there's always another good option to try. It's always busy when I go here, which is a good sign. They're also open later than most ice cream shops which means ice cream is always an option 😊“

“Mario is super responsible and dependable any time our company needs his help serving children at local elementary students! He is quick at getting the children their favorite ice creams and we so appreciate all that he does to help us! The kids love it when he comes to their school!“

“Excellent place for ice cream and shakes. My expectations were high because others references , so I found out was not the level I expected but still a great flavor a tasted and the right price. Also it is close to the cultural downtown zone of Birmingham that's add an extra reason to visit it.“

“De vez en cuando, hace falta darse un gustito y por eso voy a la Nueva Michoacana. Me encantan las aguas que preparan ahí. Ven y compruébalo.“

“Please, please please be patient with these people working here. They are working so hard and are probably being overworked and understaffed. Crumble is super popular right now and I will tell you what the addition of this Dubai chocolate brownie. I am a lifetime customer. It literally tastes exactly like a Dubai chocolate bar. And most other locations really Don’t give a lot of filling, which is the part that I like the post in this location did everything perfectly and the customer service was phenomenal. We are lucky to have a crumble out here in Trussville thanks to you guys and the amazing team that works here!“

“Crumbl Cookies in Birmingham offers a fun and indulgent cookie experience that has quickly gained a devoted following. Known for its rotating weekly menu of freshly baked cookies, the shop keeps things exciting with classic flavors like Chocolate Chip, Sugar, and Peanut Butter, alongside creative seasonal specials. Each cookie is soft, chewy, and generously sized, often served warm for maximum enjoyment.

The variety is one of Crumbl’s biggest draws, catering to both traditional tastes and adventurous flavor seekers. Options like Churro, Snickerdoodle, and specialty cheesecake-inspired cookies provide a sweet treat that’s both comforting and Instagram-worthy.“

“Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great food as a meal or charcuterie board“

“Really good. I got the cold brew and the cookies and cream. My first time getting anything from them and it was delicious. The lady serving there was sweet. They do have some dairy free options. Next time I want to try their watermelon flavor.“

“An Absolutely Amazingly, Freshly prepared, Gelato or Sorbet Popsicle, on a Stick.....dipped in chocolate and toppings for a unique experience....You MUST try the multitude of FRESH flavors...Enjoy!“

“I just have to take a moment to brag on K&J’s Elegant Pastries because they made my baby girl’s 4th birthday so incredibly special. When I say this cake brought tears to my eyes, I mean it. The soft pink Paw Patrol theme, sweet little Skye on top, the custom “4,” the beautiful bow, the tiny details — it was everything my daughter dreamed of and more. Seeing her face light up when she saw it is a moment I’ll never forget. 🩷 It wasn’t just a cake… it was the centerpiece of her day. It made her feel celebrated, loved, and so big turning FOUR. 🥹 Not only was it stunning, but it tasted just as amazing as it looked. The cake was moist, flavorful, and a huge hit with both kids and adults. We received so many compliments and everyone kept asking where we ordered it from. Thank you, K&J’s Elegant Pastries, for putting so much care and talent into making her day unforgettable. You didn’t just make a cake — you helped create a core memory for our family. Forever grateful 💕✨ #PawPatrolParty #4thBirthday #GratefulMama #SupportSmallBusiness“

Wow! Such a fun and nostalgic place to be with an incredible variety of ice cream, shaved ice, and more. I was surprised to learn that they even have something for everyone. Not only do they have vegan and sugar-free flavors, but to my surprise they even offer a number of gluten free flavors as well. We enjoyed a pleasant atmosphere that offers endless possibilities. Can’t wait to go back.“

“I stopped by Hello Bakery and was blown away by their delicious croissants—but what really stood out was the owner's kindness! I bought four pastries, and to my surprise, they gifted me a free almond croissant! 😍

Croissant Quality:
The croissants here are perfectly flaky, buttery, and freshly baked. The plain croissant had a crisp exterior with soft, airy layers inside, while the almond croissant (my free treat!) was rich, slightly sweet, and packed with crunchy almond goodness. Absolutely delicious!

Customer Service:
The owner was warm and welcoming, and the free croissant was such a lovely gesture. It’s rare to find a bakery that cares so much about making customers happy!

Final Thoughts:
If you want top-tier croissants and a bakery that goes above and beyond, Hello Bakery is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back—maybe they’ll surprise me again! 😉 Highly recommend! 🥐💛“

“Great customer service ! Thank you Tamara and Kennedy for helping us today ! Y’all are awesome 🤩“

“Rude, and slow. Wait times are too long, and employees serve you based on how loud and frequently you complain instead of how long you've been there. Also helps if you're POC. They're the only ones who seemed to have gotten out in less than 20 minutes consistently.“

“Omg! A PINK COOKIE STORE ! 🥺🥺💗💗
These cookies were delicious !
We ordered three total : the monster mash , breast cancer awareness and triple chocolate. All three were delicious but the monster mash was by far my favorite.“

“Great food and a great atmosphere along with speedy service-what more does anyone need??“

“Atmosphere was good, service was quick. Decent burger but nothing extraordinary.“

“Me and my daughter stopped at Pizitz Food Hall as last minute decision. I had the 2 pc catfish, hush puppies and a side of red beans and rice (RBR) with a bottle of water came to $24.20, not including tip. I asked for my catfish to be fried hard. Being Louisiana raised, this was the BEST seasoned, fried to perfection catfish. I refused to give my daughter a corner. 🤗 The hush puppies have kernels of corn which was an added bonus. I will admit I was underwhelmed with the RBR as they were quite bland and little hard than I like. But the other items made up and caused me to be satisfied enough to return.

The young men running it that day were all pleasant and personable.“

“Great yogurts and great flavors“

“As soon as I walked in I was politely greeted and told I can try any flavor ice cream I want that was a lot of fun. Also the girl in the hijab was so kind and friendly I honestly felt so much positive energy. I will be going back and recommending this ice cream shop to all my friends and family.“

“great service!! Thanx to Amy fulvi for a great burger!!“

“I picked up my take out order. I told the staff I needed the strawberry shake. I was told a couple minutes later it was in the bag. I checked and I could see the top of the cup so I left. Got home and it was vanilla. My husband ordered the hot ones burger and there was a quarter size of sauce in the middle of the top bun. His burger was basically dry. My bacon burger was cooked too long, part of it was not edible because it was hard as a rock. This was my first time coming here and I don't plan on returning.“
