17 Best Ice Cream Shops in Gainesville

“Looking for a hotdog joint and Sweetberries came up as an option. Had a Chicago dog and an all American dog. Best dogs we ever had. Next time your in Gainsville and craving a hotdog, be sure to check out this place. We will be back.“

“This is an incredible place. What stood out most is the manager. He is polite and professional, unlike a customer I witnessed demanded her money back AFTER eating her yogurt ice-cream. Ridiculous and abusive as SHE did not see the screen AND SHE left a tip. Then demanded the money back to which the manager said he would give her a gift card. Oh no, she wanted it free. So sad. It was her mistake for not paying attention and blames the worker.“

“Is strawberry ice and whatever-the-heck flavored ice cream a disgusting combo? Yes, objectively. Whatever this place is serving is a disgrace to Italian ice and the cows who gave their milk for the ice cream. But damn it’s GOOD! Nothing is more romantic than sharing this icee-ice cream hybrid with a loved one, staring out over the beautiful parking lot and breathing in fumes of passing cars. It’s truly a vibe, especially on a hot, humid Gainesville night.

And then I found out they cater. And they cater well! Ryan and Lily delivered my catering order right on time and were very helpful.“

“Today was my second time visiting. Both times the customer service has been excellent. I always order a small taro tea with boba. My daughter got the strawberry milk tea with cheese foam on top. Both were prepared quickly and tasted great. I can’t wait to visit again.“

“New Orlean Praline ice cream is my favorite so far. I haven’t tried another flavor yet because I can’t NOT get the one that I like so much! Although we only go occasionally because we live in another town about 45 minutes away, when I go to Gainesville I try to make time for an ice cream from Kilwins. It’s a wonderful treat!“

“Great selection of delicious ice pops. Lots of fun hearing the truck come around the neighborhood too. Little man was concentrating too hard on the flavor to smile.“

“Loved it here had a great time with the grandkids“

“Soooo good! And it’s gluten free! Having celiacs makes it extremely hard to go somewhere for ice cream and not get cross contaminated so it was REALLY nice to have a place to grab some good ice cream and so many flavors to choose from! ❤️“

“Always delicious!! Love their food and coffee! ☕️ check out the specials!!“

“Went there last night to celebrate a family Milestone, we got there after 9, so they were out of cones but the staff was very friendly, and the building was clean. I've never been to a Cold Stone before. The blueberry muffin batter ice cream was perfect.“

“i don’t normally get a snowcone, but I would highly recommend this place. I got a small which was fairly priced at $4. You get a snowball about the size of a baseball. I got the piña colada flavor and saw a topping available of condensed milk. I have never had condensed milk in a snowcone, and now I don’t think I could ever go back! It was absolutely delicious and I will for sure be back for more. The food truck appeared to be clean and the woman working was very nice.“

“First time eating here today and it won't be our last! Amazing food and super nice people! I highly recommend you give them a try.“

“If they ever remove the white chocolate raspberry flavor I may crawl into a hole and cry. But until then, top notch Cold Stone. Very friendly staff, always greet you with a smile. Awesome menu options (again, so long as they keep the white chocolate raspberry)“

“Really wonderful and friendly staff at this location. Great service, suggestions, and amazing ice cream. The waffle bowls were so fresh. Caramel apples are amazing as well. Can’t wait to come back to try more!“

“Looking for a hotdog joint and Sweetberries came up as an option. Had a Chicago dog and an all American dog. Best dogs we ever had. Next time your in Gainsville and craving a hotdog, be sure to check out this place. We will be back.“
