44 Best Ice Cream Shops near Homewood

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

“I visited Neighbor’s today with three kids that I babysit after a trip to the park across the street. We had visited a few times before, so I recognized the man working behind the counter. He greeted us kindly and got the kids their ice creams. When it came time to pay, I went to tap and my card declined. This is where Neighbors stands out. The young man behind the counter said it was okay, and to just repay them when I returned. I definitely should have planned better and brought cash, but the kindness that he demonstrated is what makes Neighbors stay true to their name. (I did return and pay not even 20 minutes later with some cash I had in my car)“

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

“Great place to do Pilates 💛“

“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.“

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

“Food is amazing and the staff are always helpful and attentive.“

“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!“

“This is my favorite Shaved ice Stand, but I also work here and own it lol“

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

“Great ice cream and great customer service. Logan waited on us and when we shared one of our kids cannot have peanuts he went the extra step to make sure no cross contamination occurred.“

“This ice cream shop is a such a gem in Cahaba heights!! Their cookies and ice cream are both amazing! They make a great cookies and cream and they have fun seasonal flavors too (lucky charms/st patty themed). Staff provides stellar service every time too. Don’t miss this spot if you are in the area!“

“Wow wow wow! Ok. So, I'm not really a cookie person so it took me a long time to see what this place was about. And now . Well. I might be developing an addiction. Some of their options are desserts disguised as cookies. Like the Dubai cheesecake and heathbar tres leches. .both incredible btw. We got a bunch of different flavors and shared. And for that, I tried various cookies and the pink sugar cookie, the ultimate peanut butter cookie, and the brownies Sunday cookie. Cookie we're all enough to make me a cookie person. It's going to be hard to enjoy this place in moderation. Everything is really good“

“we just had so much fun getting ice cream cones! our scooper Chris was charming and handled our group with a smile! delish!“

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

“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.“

“If you’ve got a sweet tooth, this is the place to be! The milkshakes, cotton candy, and cinnamon rolls are all absolutely delicious—you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything hits the spot! On top of that, the staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly, making every visit even better. Highly recommend!“

“Best pastry shop in Alabama! I dropped by this morning to get a ham & cheese croissant and an apple danish. I devoured them both. One bite of the croissant and dozens of crisp flaky shards fell into my lap. It was perfect. The apple danish was like an elevated apple pie. I’m not sure what type of cream was under the apples, but I loved it. Hello Bakery is a must visit if you’re in Birmingham. Also, the shop owner (I’m assuming) was very kind. I will definitely be back whenever I’m in town.“

“Edgewood Creamery has become one of those places where consistency keeps bringing us back. You know what you are getting, and that matters. The ice cream is always creamy, smooth, and on point.

One thing I appreciate is the sheer number of flavors available. There is enough variety that you can stay with your favorites or branch out and try something new every visit.

For our family of four today, we ordered three large shakes and one two-scoop bowl.

For the shakes, I like that you can mix flavors and create your own combinations. We mixed two different ice cream flavors into two of the shakes.

I went with the Twixie and Insta Graham combination. Twix candy bar and vanilla mixed with graham cracker ice cream and graham crackers. Good mix of chocolate, crunch, and graham flavor without one overpowering the other.

My wife went with Red Velvet and Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Rich combination if you like chocolate-heavy flavors.

One of my daughters stayed loyal to her usual Red Velvet shake. Sometimes when you find your favorite, you just leave it alone.

My other daughter got two scoops in a cup with Carrot Cake and a caramel flavor. Nice contrast between spice cake flavor and sweetness.

Customer service was good as always. Friendly interactions and no issues during the visit.

The atmosphere also deserves mention. It has that old-school neighborhood ice cream shop feel. No frills, no trying too hard, just good flavors and a place that lets the ice cream do the talking.

Overall thoughts:

Edgewood Creamery continues to be our go-to ice cream spot because they deliver consistency and variety. Not every place can keep quality steady while offering this many choices. If you are taking the family out and everyone wants something different, this place checks that box.“

“Visited my favorite ice cream shop today. If you need a little pick-me-up or a dose of pure joy, I highly recommend visiting Unless U Scoops any weekday between 1:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. And the ice cream is pretty awesome also!“

“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“

“Breakfast was great and prices nice .“

“Absolutely delicious 😋 Sorbet and Italian Ice! Coconut Cream was my Favorite! The staff was friendly and welcoming! Traveled from NC to visit family and will make this a regular stop for all future visits to Birmingham Area!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Ate here for the first time today. It was very fresh and delicious! Restaurant was very clean also. We will be back to try the delicious custard.“

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.“
