24 Best Ice Cream Shops near Hockessin

“Great ice cream, fun atmosphere, even has live music on occasion. It’s pet friendly and our dog loves visiting and being able to go check out the cows when they are out.

Parking: Parking is on gravel and lawn areas. It does get busy especially in the summer.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love ice cream. There’s a large lawn that the kids can run around in while you spend time here.“

“Ironically, I just read another review that echoed my own frustration at this Rita’s. A few weeks ago, I brought my daughter’s softball team for a postgame treat and was shocked to learn that an option to tip with a credit card doesn’t exist. Glad to know I’m not the only person who thinks this is a bad idea. After receiving such great service, I was embarrassed when I couldn’t leave a tip and had to apologize to the nice girl who gave us such great service. C’mon Rita’s get with the program!“

“Had lunch there today, everything was great!“

“I love the environment. it's an amazing experience.“

“Hangrybear in Kennett is more than just a place to grab a bite—it’s an experience that keeps surprising and delighting us every time. From the moment we walk in, we’re greeted with warm, friendly service that makes us feel like family. Their menu is thoughtfully crafted with a mouth-watering variety of high-quality, inventive options that satisfy everyone from picky kids to food-loving adults.

My wife and I always split one of their seasonal sandwiches and a fresh, vibrant salad that bursts with flavor, texture, and the best ingredients around. Tonight, we enjoyed the crunch salad—our go-to favorite—and savored every bite of the turkey Rachel Sammy special, a perfect combination of savory, tangy, and fresh. Our girls happily split the crispy chicken fingers and gooey grilled cheese, which are always a hit.

To top it off, dessert is an absolute must here! We indulged in pumpkin and Biscoff cheesecake ice cream, each bite a little piece of heaven. It’s rare to find a place that nails both food and sweets so perfectly, but Hangrybear does it with style.

They’ve quickly become a staple in our lives, not just for the food but for the memories they help us create. From Bluey breakfasts to other family-friendly events, Hangrybear has become a tradition we look forward to, a beloved spot in the community where we feel at home.“

“great for children and adults! staff is always pleasant and the ice cream is yummy!“

“Delightful premises and delicious ice cream. OMG, the Vanilla Salted Caramel was to die for. The waffle cone was so crunchy and flavorful. Loved the setting with benches and tables scattered under a giant beautiful tree and cows on the hillside. Some crazy flavor options too... such as, Pumpkin Mushroom and Motor Oil! Wish I could have tried them all.“

“Nice students help me select organic produce“

“Great ice cream… many years ago there was a lot of fruit in their ice cream: no longer bits of tasty fruit ?. But still enjoyable. Their frozen bars are $2 and still has fruit in it. You are not wasting your money with this treat. There is also another ice cream place at farmers market. Enjoy! ?“

“Always delicious! I thought this during my last visit... I got a double scoop of Grandma Goes Coconuts and felt satisfied when I finished my cup of ice cream. Believe me, that's something to say--usually I want more. Do go and enjoy homemade-like goodness.“

“Great series, friendly staff, food was delicious and served quickly“

“Best dessert place in Delaware! Their ice cream is on the expensive side but their proportions are huge. I recommend what I got in the photo, very sweet, very delicious. Definitely wouldn’t be able to finish one of these myself so be prepared to share!“

“Staff was great, took my nieces and dog 🐶 for ice cream. We sat on the benches and enjoyed our treats and our pup got her first ice cream scoop with dog bones 🦴 in her bowl 🍚. It was a fun experience 🍦. Thank you 😊“

“Delicious! Very unique flavors (told they were more traditional Mexican flavors) as well as the usual go-to's. The staff are super friendly, took the time to explain the flavors and give samples!! The ice cream was creamy and refreshing. 10/10, definitely going back. We had Fresa con queso, tequila, mamey and a Mexican raspberry torte mix (sorry couldn't remember the name for the last one). All delicious and the portions were very generous.“

“The cookies are ALWAYS delicious!!! This particular store is always packed with staff and customers. Although I have yet to be welcomed or greeted when I've come in this store, I can tell they are always busy. I wish the employees at this store would make more of an effort to be friendly, smile, and just be pleasant. If I felt as welcomed as the cookies taste, this could be a 10 star review.“

“Plenty of flavors, great employees who actually know your name. I feel like I’m at home.“
