25 Best Ice Cream Shops near Helena

“Homemade cones!!! The ice cream is the best around!! In fact, I’m headed there right now!!! The BEST!“

“Great Customer Service! They are often understaffed but they are always quick to say hello and make sure you know they are there to help. You might find a dirty table now and again when a rush comes through but this place is very clean!! I can't even imagine what prompted the bad customer service unless someone was eating their yogurt before it was weighed but even then they will remind that signs are posted and it's just not allowed. This is because there is no flat fee for the yogurt and toppings... its weighed. People who eat their yogurt before it's paid for are literally stealing. 🤔 I drive from Birmingham because of the Customer Service and they have the best Acia Bowls around! yummmm“

“30 mins spent in the drive thru on multiple occasions is just ridiculous!!! This place is so slow!! I sat at the ordering speaker for 5 mins constantly saying hello before someone came on. Then spent another 20-25 mins waiting for a medium concrete.“

“We have visited Sunshine Creamery twice this summer and both times it was PACKED! Each worker behind the counter was so kind and patient with everyone. They were efficient even with the large crowds. The inside is clean and perfect for families. We love having this little treat spot in our neighborhood!“

“Cuando vengo a Pelham, me es imposible evitar venir y degustar alguna de las delicias que aquí consigues. ¡siempre vuelvo!“

The drink I had was Amazing I forgot the name of it but it has fruit in it strawberries and Kiwis. The Staff was extremely nice, friendly and courteous. We will definitely be Back. This was a pleasant experience all around. Great Job Unbothered Scoops!“

“10:55 PM
You sent
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.“

“Always good! Clean and yummy!“

“It’s very delicious 😋 great staff Very nice prices and variety“

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

“Delicious food. Friendly environment.“

“Frios was great when they had a storefront and even better with the food truck! They are always so friendly and of course; delicious!“

“Very disappointed in our visit tonight. The triple chocolate yogurt was out, 4 of the toppings in the wet bar were out, and the marshmallow topping out. We asked the employees (who were on personal phone calls the entire time we were checked out) if there were more brownies because I was really looking forward to them. We checked out in 2 separate orders so our kids could start eating while we made our desserts. No receipts were offered for either transaction. I went to the bathroom before leaving, and the bathroom was out of paper towels.“

“Best Reese Blizzard in town!
Updated 02/12/2026 - Went through the drive-thru twice recently and so enjoy the kind staff at this restaurant.
One visit was simply for the Royal New York Cheesecake with Strawberries Blizzard. The entire family LOVED this dessert. It is hands-down the best fast-food dessert out there. It tastes just like strawberry cheesecake with large chunks of strawberries, cheesecake, and graham cracker crumbles.
The second visit was for meals and the aforementioned Blizzard. Our sandwiches were perfect - moist and fresh with a good amount of toppings, and their fries are always crunchy outside, soft inside, and hot!“

“I had an amazing experience at Freddy’s! The food was fresh, hot, and delicious, and the restaurant was very clean and welcoming. What really made my visit stand out was the excellent customer service from Tionna. She was friendly, professional, fast, and made sure everything was taken care of. It’s rare to come across someone who works as hard and genuinely cares about customers the way she does. Tionna went above and beyond to make my experience great, and her positive attitude made my visit even better. Freddy’s is lucky to have such an outstanding employee. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this location!“

“Friendly voices on the speakers, order came hot & fresh, and delivered with a friendly smile. Good job to the employees at this Pelham/Alabaster location! Thank you for making it a great experience.“

“This is the best Dairy Queen. I eat here more than I'd like to admit, it's convenient! They have never once gotten my order incorrect. The food is always hot and fresh. It's honestly impressive for a quick service restaurant.
Now they can be a little slow, but that's to be expected when the food is ALWAYS hot and correct! The staff isn't the friendliest but they work hard so I can't complain but I know some people may be concerned about that.“

“I got the pumpkin pie blizzard & fall is my favorite season. I ♥️ pumpkin spice!! It was very yummy. My husband got the caramel toffee blizzard. He liked it. We stopped at Alabaster DQ on our way out of state for our vacation. We decided to stop again on our way back from vacation going home. It is a big DQ with plenty of seating & an outdoor area to eat. Very nice.“
