Ice Cream Shops near Altoona

“I went here the other day and my gosh their staff is amazing! I had this sweet young girl take my order and you would’ve thought she’d have years of experience in customer service! I asked how long she had worked there and she said a little over a month. However they are training those kids they are doing amazing!“

“It took me going elsewhere to realize how good we have it.

Whenever we go to a mall here in dsm I take my daughter and wife to the chocolate store. I buy them a few little sweets. They savor them we laugh and life is good. Honestly it is so honest and pure and sweet it will make people mad.

That being said we sent on vacation and tried to carry on the tradition at a different mall with a different chocolaterie. It was aweful.

At Stam we are blessed with a cozy setting, kind polite staff and amazingly rich, sweet, savory, ooey-gooey, concoctions that ensnare the taste buds and are a delight to behold.

The prices are so reasonable and the entire experience is so much better than those other chocolate stores with sky high prices and chocolates that taste like they were just defrosted (and not defrosted well) from the back before we ate them.

Thank you Stam.“

“I hate going to DQ in my home town. Food is always cold and sitting around but my kids like it, so we tried this one while on vacation. This DQ is a bit off the highway from Adventure Land and took a bit to get to because of construction. Hard working and courteous staff took great care of my family of 7 even though there were only 2 working. Food was hot, fresh, perfectly prepared. Those two deserve a raise.“

“Ice cream is so good! Definitely 5 stars“

“We had our daughter's birthday party at Over The Top. HIGHLY recommend. We did the tour and scoop option. It included the party room. The kids had SO much fun helping make an ice cream and learning about what is in it. The staff was fantastic and patient with a large group of 2nd graders!“

“Todo es exelente , atencion al clients y mucho que degustar muy rico“

“The girls at Sweet Swirls today were so accommodating! We brought in, from Rock Creek, 12 residents in at once. They listened, took their time, and made sure every order was right. We appreciate it so much!“

“Best ice cream in the Des Moines area.“

“This place is amazing! The flavors were all so delicious I could hardly pick one! 😋“

“We decided, as we drove by, to stop in and see what this place was about. It was a really nice environment (kind of like Molly's Cupcakes). I tried the "Molly's Mashup", where the take a cupcake, split it in half, and put ice cream in between with a topping (I opted for red velvet cupcake with strawberry lemonade sorbet with whipped cream) and he tried a double scoop of mixed berry swirl ice cream. The awesome thing about the mixed berry swirl was it had pieces of vanilla cupcake in it. We were satisfied with what we got and plan to try a different combination the next time we come!!!“
