Ice Cream Shops near Flowery Branch

“I had a pretty good experience at Crumbl. The store was very clean and the environment felt well taken care of. No one really spoke when I first walked in, but once they handed me my cookie the service was fine.

I tried the Dubai cookie, and it was amazing. It had the perfect mix of sweet and salty, plus a great pistachio crunch that made every bite delicious. Overall, the cookie itself definitely made the visit worth it.“

“This Baskin-Robbins shares it's location with a Dunkin' Donuts with the employees sharing responsibilities for both eateries. I went here on a hot day looking for something cool to eat. I ordered a single scoop of Rainbow Sherbet in a cup. The cashier was cordial and kind during the whole process. The sherbet was delicious, being cold and sweet, the right thing to have on a hot day all the while seeing additional customers coming after me also having the same idea as me to buy ice cream. I was somewhat surprised when going to write a review of my experience here that the reviews are mostly negative specifically about the service. Nevertheless, their opinions don't affect mine. Overall, I left satisfied with my time at Baskin Robbins with the food, service and the atmosphere!

Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere and staff during my visit were very kid-friendly.“

“The workers were so nice! Very clean and well maintained, I felt very comfortable and happy and pleased with my experience! I especially enjoyed the two high school students who served me! They were both very kind and responsible, I think they should get a RAISE!! They MUST!! They deserve it for all their hard work serving the community and making the city a better place!“

“I had such an amazing experience at Rita’s! The owners and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. I tried what you see in the picture, and it was absolutely delicious rich, refreshing, and full of flavor.

This is definitely the kind of place I could see myself coming to every week just to discover new flavors and enjoy something different each time. It’s not just about the frozen treats, it’s about the positive energy and happiness you feel when you walk in.

Highly recommend Rita’s for anyone looking for a sweet escape with amazing customer service and treats that hit the spot every single time!“

“We were in town visiting friends and got a gluten free pizza from here and would 100% recommend! My son has celiac disease and when I called ahead of time to ask how the pizza was prepared the woman on the phone was very helpful. They cannot guarantee no cross contamination but explained they would make it in the back separate from where other pizzas are prepared using ingredients that are separate from the ones they use on their main line. It’s cooked in a separate metal pan, glove change/washed hands, etc. She verified the toppings we wanted were all gluten free. I felt comfortable with these precautions and the pizza was delicious. Bbq Chicken Pizza w/o onions and cilantro. 💕“

“If you’re craving something refreshing and full of flavor, Raspados El Puesto is absolutely worth a visit. From the moment you walk up, the vibrant atmosphere sets the tone—bright colors, friendly service, and the irresistible scent of sweet syrups and fresh fruit. Their raspados (shaved ice treats) are the real highlight: perfectly fluffy ice drenched in bold, authentic flavors like tamarind, mango, and strawberry. You can customize your order with extras like condensed milk, chamoy, or fresh fruit, which takes everything to the next level. What really stands out is the balance of sweetness and freshness. Nothing tastes artificial or overly sugary—it’s clear they care about quality. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the staff is welcoming and patient, especially if it’s your first time trying a raspado. Whether you’re cooling off on a hot day or just looking for something different from typical ice cream, Raspados El Puesto delivers a fun and delicious experience. Highly recommend trying a classic flavor first, then getting adventurous on your next visit.“

“Home of the butter burger. This family friendly restaurant also features premium meals such as the jumbo shrimp dinner that I ate, various sandwiches such as a reuben and various desserts.“

“Ordered a cake from here and the process was very easy in store. The manager texted me a couple days out to confirm the order and talk about the details of the cake. She responded quick and the day of pick up provided pictures of the cake along with details for transport, storage, and preparation for eating. My son loved the look and taste of the cake. He said everything was perfect. Great customer service here!“

“This place is truly unique!! The ice cream is fresh and creamy! I got coconut and pina colada. The coconut ice cream they have water based and milk based. The water based is fluffy and has tons of coconut in it!!! Best ice cream around!!!“

“The employees here are always pleasant, but what keeps me coming back is the expanding variety of vegan options which is a rare find in Gainesville. The quality is fantastic and greatly appreciated.

“Hadn't tried it yet until today but will be back. A little expensive and didn't notice any combos (just buy chicken fingers alone) so I wasn't crazy about the price versus CFA or others, but the food was good. Pepsi on the fountain so loved the Pepsi Zero. Didn't see a GT on the wall (UGA, Falcons, etc.) so maybe I'll have to hold some purchases back.... :-)“

“My child absolutely loves this place and keeps asking to come back. The little ice cream beads are super fun to eat and make it a fun treat every time. They don’t melt or drip like regular ice cream, so it’s great for kids. The staff are always friendly and welcoming too.“

“The food is fantastic, and the staff always makes my family feel welcomed. Charlie, the owner, is awesome as well. The interior is very clean and has a nice ambiance. My favorite things to order there are the bacon deluxe burger, strawberry field salad, or the cod dinner.“

“Their burgers are heavenly. The staff is really nice and the atmosphere is very welcoming🥰“
