8 Best Ice Cream Shops in Tuscaloosa

“Our family went yesterday. So cute inside! Perfect location on river walk. Staff was extremely helpful. I got the honey lavender and it was seriously the best ice cream ever! Will be back!“

“I had an outstanding experience at Insomnia Cookies Tuscaloosa and felt compelled to leave a review because everything about this visit exceeded expectations. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and well-organized, which already set a great tone. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional customer service we received from Gavin. He was friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive, making sure our order was correct and that we felt genuinely taken care of. His positive attitude and efficiency made the experience even better, and it’s clear he takes pride in his work.
As for the cookies themselves—absolutely amazing. The sugar cookie was soft, warm, and perfectly sweet, the confetti cookie was fun, flavorful, and baked to perfection, and the chocolate peanut butter cup cookie was hands-down a standout with the perfect balance of rich chocolate and peanut butter. Every cookie tasted fresh and indulgent, exactly what you hope for from Insomnia Cookies. Between the high-quality desserts and the excellent service, this location consistently delivers a top-tier experience. I would highly recommend Insomnia Cookies Tuscaloosa to anyone looking for great cookies and even better customer service.“

So much better than a yogurt mountain! If we’re ever in the area again, we will definitely go back! We got the chocolate/Vanilla swirl and strawberry soft serve ice creams!“

“Baked Bear is a fun, customizable dessert spot that excels in crafting indulgent ice cream sandwiches. The concept is simple but highly appealing: choose your cookies, ice cream flavor, and optional mix-ins to create a treat perfectly tailored to your taste. The cookies are soft, freshly baked, and come in a variety of flavors from classic chocolate chip to more adventurous options like birthday cake or snickerdoodle. Ice cream choices are rich and creamy, often including both traditional and seasonal flavors.“
