50 Best Ice Cream Shops near North Highlands

“This place is truly THE BEST!!! The lady who works there is truly one of the sweetest people I have ever met, she cares so much about the quality of the food and drinks (our favorites) she makes. Me and the groomers at puppycut salon in the next plaza over frequent this place. We are absolutely OBSESSED with their aqua Fresca, the watermelon being the salon favorite.
Truly THE place to get good aqua Fresca. You will be disappointed going to any other place after this!“

“Dandy's Ice Cream in North Highlands is hands down my favorite Mexican ice cream shop in Sacramento. Every time I visit, I'm blown away by the delicious flavors and amazing service.

So far, I've tried the milkshakes, raspas, and the banana split ice cream - all of which were delicious. The ice cream is rich and creamy, and the flavors are unique and bursting with flavor. I can't wait to go back and try the other items on their menu!

What really sets Dandy's apart, though, is the people who work there. They are all so friendly and welcoming, and they really go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. The service is truly amazing.

Overall, if you're looking for delicious Mexican ice cream in Sacramento, you have to check out Dandy's. The ice cream is amazing, the service is great, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a sweet treat!“

“Hands down some of the best gelato EVER. It's not cheap store-bought ICE cream. Mike is a mad scientist in that kitchen of theirs whipping up pure deliciousness, always bringing out new flavors and keeping their menu fresh.“

“Give that girl some soft serve and a Japanese choux, now.

Ive been eyeing this place for a bit even saw them on socials.

Guess I just had to go!

The soft serve with honey, Sign me uppppp! It was delicious.

I think the choux has to be piping hot! I had it room temp. Eat it fresh!

And yes, laugh diablolically as you skip off with the last choux!

Ambiance modern and metallic.“

“I i love the boba I loved the shaved ice great place“

“Awesome authentic organic gelato!! I had a really hard time choosing which flavors to choose as all of the many I tasted were just as good as the prior flavor. We met the owner Gabriel; he was very kind and generous. We are visiting from Florida. As I was enjoying my gelato, all I kept thinking is that just like our vacation, I did not want this to end. Keep up the great work Gabriel!“

“The only thing I had an issue with was the confusing ordering on your app. Once the 30 minute minute window was up my order disappeared. I thought it was canceled, because it was no longer under my order button. Of course I reordered and I got charged twice. The guy was super patient and helped cancel one of my orders but not without hassle. Love this location, the guys working there are always friendly and welcoming! I'll be back!“

“This place is so unique. I’ve never had flavors like these. Olive oil ice cream?! Blue cheese and pear but somehow yum! Pickled cucumber was interesting too. I went with strawberry and coconut water sherbet…refreshing, flavorful and creamy.

Love when a place is this bold and willing to experiment. Line moved fast and there’s outdoor seating with umbrellas. Will definitely be back to try more flavors!“

“ordered $50 in ice cream for multiole people. sitting here waiting. the driver picked up the order and went offline! I called thd number they say to call and they cannot reach the driver (offline) and the store wont respond. JENKY SERVICE!!!!!“

“How am I just finding out that there was a Salt & Straw in Roseville?! We were walking around the Fountains after dinner and stumbled upon this location last night. I should have known when I started to smell the waffle cones and saw the long line out the door!

It was a Friday night and the line was out the door, but it didn't stop us from waiting in line. There was an employee outside, acting as sort of a host, already hyping up the flavors and making sure there weren't too many people in the building. Her energy and passion talking about the new flavors added to our excitement before we even made it inside!

Once we got to the service line, we were taken care of by the incredible Danica. Her blue hair and bright smile instantly made her stand out from the rest. She was incredibly kind, super patient, and made sure we got to sample EVERYTHING we wanted (and we wanted A LOT). She also encouraged us to sample flavors we had no interest in, but ended up loving after giving them a try. The amount of knowledge she shared about every flavor was so impressive and all too familiar to the typical Salt & Straw experience.

The cookie dough and the wild foraged berry slab pie ended up being my favorites. Definitely take advantage of the unlimited samples when you stop by so that you can find the right flavor for you! The employees do a great job of letting you sample whatever you want and never make you feel like an inconvenience, no matter how long the line is.

Overall, definitely recommend for a sweet, fun, and unique ice cream outing for you and your loved ones.“

“Everything Delicious ! Have a fun place“

“Under new ownership (as of Nov 22). Hours are Finally consistent, the owner is friendly, and the ice cream is GREAT!“

“I love this place. great flavors. friendly staff“

“Love this place. They always have a good variety of flavors.“

“Love coming here for a sweet treat. The place is always clean until a big group of people come by and aren’t considerate with how they go through the topping station.

They have staple flavors like original and chocolate, and then they rotating flavors like starburst and hi-chew. I love coming here because there are so many ways to customize your bowl. The staff are nice, there’s seating inside and a good amount of seating outside. The parking right in front of the store gets filled fast.“

“Very tasty soft serve and taiyaki! We ordered two #3’s (recommended for more ice cream and less mess than #2). Both with ube and one chocolate taiyaki and one red bean taiyaki.

The taiyaki was so tasty, soft, warm and chewy with a bit of crispy on the outside, especially loved the red bean filling. The soft serve was also delicious, ube had a very subtle sweetness. They also allow samples, the Thai tea and milk were great too.

Vibe is trendy and cute, yet authentic and simple. They have games in the corner and lots of room to sit. You can watch them make the taiyaki fresh. Employees were kind.“

“Churros and ice cream was excellent“

“I had to come on here and highlight how incredibly sweet and kind Abigail is. I love when customer service is so amazing that I feel compelled to stop and write a review — and that doesn’t happen often.

She made me feel valued, taken care of, and genuinely appreciated as a customer. Thank you so much, Abigail!“

“A Clean, Friendly, and Always Delicious Frozen Yogurt Spot

Menchie’s on Madison is hands down one of my favorite frozen yogurt places. They switch up the flavors regularly, so there’s always something yummy to try, and I love that it never feels stale or repetitive.

What really makes this location stand out is how welcoming they are to kids and toddlers—it’s such a friendly, family-friendly spot. The store is super clean, well-organized, and well-maintained, which makes every visit enjoyable. Even the bathroom is big, well-stocked, and spotless—which, let’s be honest, is a huge plus when you’ve got little ones in tow!

The employees are pleasant and efficient, not overly chatty, but they get the job done, and I appreciate that. The prices are fair, and they run great promotions from time to time, making it even more affordable.

At the end of the day, this is my go-to frozen yogurt spot. Whether I’m with my kids or catching up with friends, it’s always a great experience. Highly recommend!“

“The place was so clean, nice employees, and even more amazing things that are here. Their cookies are sooo good and they make more cookies as soon as they run out. Those are my reasons on why I rate this crumbl five stars. 10 out of 10 recommend!“

“Party box was gifted from a client so not sure about pricing, service or atmosphere. The box included 2 each of the following flavors: chocolate brownie, sugar cookie with Cadbury Mini Eggs, carrot cake, cherry pie pretzel, chocolate chip & lemon crinkle. Nice, large cookies so we cut them up so everone could sample. The chocolate chips were great and still warm on arrival - a warm chocolate chip cookie is always the BEST chocolate chip cookie. Nice sized chips. The chocolate brownie was my favorite: soft and the perfect amount of chocolately flavor without being overly sweet. Not a huge sugar cookie fan but these are good. Hard to cut but right ratio of sugar cookie to frosting. My husband would be in heaven with these. The carrot cake was super moist and everything I want in a carrot cake. Good ratio of cake to frosting with just a sprinkle of nuts. You can taste the carrot shavings and raisins without them overpowering.“

“My sister took us and the kids to Cold Stone Creamery in Natomas for ice cream. We placed our order to go, and the service was good. The kids enjoyed choosing their flavors and toppings, and everyone was happy with their ice cream.

The waffle collection was very sweet, so it may be best for anyone who really enjoys extra-sweet treats. Overall, we had a good experience and would visit again.“

“I had the opportunity to visit one of their pop op events in Elk Grove. I needed to bring something home for my mom and wasn’t sure what to get so Janine made my mom a sundae and she loved it! My daughter got a milkshake. Everything was amazing, service was top notch, If you ever see their tents at an event you are at do yourself a favor and get a sundae, you won’t regret it!“

“Yummy yogurt! 😋 Will return again very soon!“

“We were SOoooooooo Excited when we saw you were moving in...and little nervous we'd start gaining weight! :) ! We used to drive to Folsom for every special event since Handles Ice Cream is the BEST!!!! So many unique and great options that taste amazing and are even fun to look at! We never feel rushed or like the employees are annoyed when we ask for samples! I think everyone in line wants to do the same, so people wait patiently. 100% worth the wait if there's a line!

If anyone hasn't been there you MUST go! The ice cream is that perfect balance of frozen and a little soft! So many options! Fruity types, so many choices with chocolate and even more than just one dairy free! My son loves the chocolate dipped waffle cones! The area is also peaceful to sit and enjoy the Amazing Ice-Cream Moments!! :)

Only thing I'd wish for is more seating options, and maybe someone to clean the tables off and even spray the sticky ground more often...at least during busy times! I know this isn't always possible though.

THANK YOU HANDLES!!! Please Never Leave Rancho! :)“

“It has been a while since I have been to OMG! Yogurt. I went to the Rocklin location today. Tyler was so very helpful and kind. I can't wait to go back!!“

“Absolutely wonderful! A variety of very unique and fancy donuts. I got the blueberry lavender donut and the carrot walnut donut hole, both were delicious and fluffy, not dry and cakey like most gluten free pastries. The ice cream is super thick and creamy. I'm so excited to come back and try everything!“

“Awesome authentic organic gelato!! I had a really hard time choosing which flavors to choose as all of the many I tasted were just as good as the prior flavor. We met the owner Gabriel; he was very kind and generous. We are visiting from Florida. As I was enjoying my gelato, all I kept thinking is that just like our vacation, I did not want this to end. Keep up the great work Gabriel!“

“If you’re craving something sweet and seriously satisfying, Crumbl Cookies totally delivers. Crumbl Cookies serves up giant, ultra-soft cookies with creative rotating flavors that keep things exciting every week. From classic chocolate chip to over-the-top specialty flavors, every bite is rich, fresh, and perfectly baked.
The texture? Warm, gooey, and melt-in-your-mouth good. The presentation? Cute pink box vibes that make it feel like a treat before you even open it. Whether you’re sharing (or not 😅), Crumbl is always a solid choice for dessert lovers. Highly recommend“

“I wanted some tacos, not just tacos anywhere.. somewhere new that wasn’t played out, I found this little spot and got a chicken taco salad… oh my gosh I ate every single bite it was so good!

The chicken tastes like it was marinated over night and then grilled, I will be back!“

“I typically do not write a review for anything or anyone, but the outstanding service I received from Mrs. Brenda Elias,Fx calls for an exception. Within a week , Mrs. Brenda Elias, traded my $2000 into $22,250 for me. She went above and beyond to make the entire process a very stress free one. She responded to all my millions of questions and make everything very simple. Top notch customer service! She’s truly a genuine person.Contact her for your trading service : Email: … See more“

“Ice cream here is good, but it ain't $7 for a small cup good. Fries are boring, burgers are good. Family owned for a long time, so that's a huge plus.

Probably want to update those prices though. Only reason we didn't walk out when we saw it is because the kids already were promised it.“

“everything so good 😋 😍 😍 😋“

“everything is good. ill try the pies next Thursday night at motorcycle night...“

“This place isn't good ITS THE BEST ICE CREAM PLACE YOU CAN EVER GO!!!!! So many options everything tastes so good the donuts taste so fresh and fluffy. This place beats all other ice cream shops by so much. I'm from East Bay and it was worth coming up to Sacramento and trying this amazing place. :)“

“Friendly staff with great customer service. Delicious shaved ice. Thank you, Tyler“

“The awesome mangonadas, homemade ice cream and fast and friendly service.“

“I go once a week and get a mocha cappinco blast , everyone is very nice and offer me samples, and makes my drink very yummy ....Thank you for always showing me respect. Can't wait to go back..“

“Best, by far, burgers in Sacramento county.“

“Awesome frozen yogurt!!! The chocolate chip cookie dough balls are FABULOUS!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“It’s Vic’s, welcome back!!! We ordered lunch, both of our sandwiches were mixed up. One of the girls said she’d give us a discount for the orders coming out wrong. We didn’t get any discount. We had waited over 30 minutes to get a seat, so we didn’t have time for dessert. I’m sure as time goes on, the kinks will work themselves out.“

“I like the ice cream! I like the packaging 💚! I like products!“

“Every flavor take me to paradise all flavors are delicious 🤤“

“Theeee best!!!!!!! Will be back again“

“We came to the Pinkberry on Truxel Rd not long before closing, but the staff was still super friendly and welcoming. My daughter got one flavor with three toppings, and it ended up being almost $9, which felt a bit pricey for the size. But the place was very clean, and the service was great. Overall, a nice treat.“

“Supporting local family businesses is how this town thrives. Great people, great coffee and you feel the community connection. Keep up the great work Rio Java!❤️“

“Best gluten-free pizza I've ever had! Excellent crust and delicious garlic cheese! Nice guys working and cooked the pizza perfectly!“
