16 Best Ice Cream Shops near Cedar Falls

“Don’t live in Cedar falls anymore but when we did this was definitely my favorite place to grab ice cream. They usually come you way more bang for your buck, and I actually think their ice cream is much more tastier then competitors like DQ plus it’s in a great area with a park across the street and a great scenic view of the river.“

“Great service every time!“

“Super yummy treats with generous portions. Quick friendly service!“

“Such a beautiful little café. Always friendly & helpful service when we’ve visited. Coffee drinks have always been consistent and well-made. Thrilled to find that their chocolates contain no wax, which can be hard to find. Additionally, they have THE best hot chocolate in town.“

“You would think picking up cupcakes on a Monday morning couldn’t be sweeter but then you run into Jane and she has a way of making it that much more special. The cupcakes speak for themselves but the service will bring me back to this location over and over again!“

“Great Customer Service & Out Of This World Ice Cream. Many Varieties To Choose From .... Will Be Back .“

“Culver's has good food and a wide selection of options. In additon to burgers and chicken I like the fish sandwiches-they are made with a thick filet. Frozen custard is a richer form of ice cream and they have a flavor of the day if don't know know what you want. Friendly staff. Food cooked to order.“

“We had an absolute blast at the Animal Petting Tour! So fun and informational, and the tasting afterward went above and beyond our expectations. This tour will become a staple activity for any out of town visitors. We already loved the Hansen products, and knowing more about the farm and their inner workings, we love them even more! HIGHLY recommend!“

“I wish they were open all year around! That’s how good it is!“

“It said they were going to be open. We waited for opening time and 5 minutes after andno one was there. We figured it was because of Father's Day coming up but they should've let people know. The ice cream was great though and 5 stars but I had to bring it down because of that one time when they didnt alert anyone or even put a sign up about not being open for Father's Day weekend.“

“I was gifted an apple pie for thanksgiving, and it was a HIT. By far the best apple pie my family and I have ever had. The crust was amazing!“

“I live in Tennessee and was having some cookies delivered to my son-in-law in Waterloo and put the wrong address down for the delivery. I called the store as soon as I discovered this and spoke with Jordan. The delivery person had just left with my order and she ran out to catch them and give them the correct address. Jordan was so awesome! She went above and beyond to help me correct my mistake. This is what 5-star customer service looks like!“

“This DQ is old. I prefer the CF one off of highway 20. They will make your ice cream, that's all I can really say regarding that. There's never been a time I've had a complaint about that.

Hesitate to give 5 full stars because a lot of the time I come in the employees look like they want to kill themselves. They all look like high schoolers usually.

Either way, it's not enough to deter me from coming here. They have a big fridge of cakes you can look at and there is a cool little mirror where the tables are. Not sure why it's there, but it keeps me entertained while I wait the ~5 minutes for my ice cream.

Parking: Not many spots, but they're usually never occupied. No worries regarding that.

Kid-friendliness: You can send your kid to the little bendy mirror and have them be fascinated at it while they wait for their ice cream. Never let me down once.“
