30 Best Ice Cream Shops near Clive

“Ordering your paleta at Monarca is an adventure. The options are endless and you can’t go wrong with any choice. I’m officially addicted to their strawberry cheesecake dipped in white chocolate and rolled in graham crackers. Yum!“

“I highly recommend Black Cat Ice Cream! They have a lot of unique homemade ice cream flavors that are creative and seasonably appropriate. It’s a fun experience with the ice cream options and the atmosphere in the shop and outdoor seating options. I’ve tried their scoops of ice cream, and the ice cream nuggets dipped in fudge. It doesn’t matter what I get, so far I’ve been happy with my selections each time. If you love ice cream and are looking for something fun and unique, this is the place for you!“

“Amazing prices great staff“

“Great selection! They have so many varieties to choose from; nearly whatever you can imagine! We took our Girl Scout troop in for a sweet treat and allowed them to choose any combination they desired! The workers were very patient and kind to each girl as they made their selections! We highly recommend!“

“I had the privilege of visiting Waukee Ice Cream Shoppe with few of my colleagues and we all loved our experience! The shoppe is adorable and I loved all the cow print and pink. They had the cutest little tables for the kiddos to sit and enjoy their treats too. The ice cream was fantastic! I had a Anniversary Cake ice cream (perfect for anyone who loves a good yellow cake.) My colleagues had a Kit-Kat blitz, a pie shaker (made with real pie), and a strawberry Dole soft serve (gluten & dairy free)! Everything was an 11/10 and the staff was great! We also met the owner! She was wonderful and truly cares about her local community! We will definitely be going back soon! Gotta try the pumpkin pie ice cream!“

“We arrived at Al's right at 9 PM - while most would have the look of "are you kidding me... we just want to go home" - we were served with welcoming smiles and warm, positive verbal and nonverbal tones! The owner and staff at this establishment are amazing! We frequent this place way too many times each week and could not be more pleased with the service we receive each time! 10⭐️“

“GREAT wendy whirls! our kids loved this place! great and friendly service“

“Highly recommend Chocolaterie Stam, not only for the chocolate or gelato when you pop in, but also for catering!!!

They catered gelato at my wedding and it was a HUGE hit! It couldn’t have gone over any better with the guests… it was delicious, fun, and we ate every last bite!

10/10 would recommend having them cater your next event! Affordable and perfect ?“

“10/10 I got mini pancakes with Ferrero Ice cream and they were excellent. I have also gotten the pistachio popsicles they are amazing. My husbands fav is the mangonada. They have something for everyone here. I hope to go back soon and try savory dishes like Tostilocos.“

“Great ice cream with a fun, old-time family feel. NOTE: DOES NOT ACCEPT CREDIT OR DEBIT CARDS — CASH OR CHECK ONLY.“

“Service and product was exceptional! I tried the lavender latte which was fantastic and well prepared by the barista. Chocolate is also very tasty here.“

“I have come to this location many times and the employees are always very friendly and efficient!! The only downside to this crumbl bakery would be the location it is in such a bad spot and the parking is always super busy and very tight. I’ve almost been hit multiple times by people parking basically on top of my car.“

“As Senator Grassley says, it's a good place for u kno what. I agree.“

“Stopped by for a Peanut Buster Parfait. Good Covid guidelines were adhered to. I was eating outside when a woman and several boys were going in maskless. I said masks were required. She said they didn't need one. They went in and were served. Why bother DQ?“

“El Michoacano is one of the absolute best restaurants I have eaten at in Iowa. I spent over a decade in San Antonio and could not for many years after moving to Iowa, enjoy such authentic taste at a taqueria -until I discovered this restaurant by my son's invitation.
This is now my absolute favorite restaurant, the food is always served freshly prepared and hot, reasonably priced for such generous portions as well and the staff have always been friendly and welcoming. The best part is not only the taste, cleanliness and service but there are wonderful vegan options on the menu as well. El Michoacano's is a must if you luv Latin food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“10/10 kids loved it and the workers make it just that much better!“

“Terrific popcorn and the owner is so incredibly gracious. Repeat customer here!!“

“Super yummy & a fun experience! :) The place was also super clean & the staff were really friendly. Ignore the Karen's in the other reviews, I don't know who expects a froyo place to have highschoolers who aren't a little shy. They're just beginning to enter the workplace and they're human too, lay off and stop being so entitled.“

“People are great. Drive thru is fast.“

“Menchie's is the ultimate frozen yogurt destination, perfect for visits with kids, friends, or family dessert outings. The establishment is safe and clean, with a self-serving setup that allows you to take your time choosing the number of toppings, your preferred flavor, and whether you need more. The array of frozen yogurt options caters to all tastes, including seasonal flavors that vary but never disappoint, but their typical options include Take the Cake Batter (a personal favorite), Reese's, Dreamy Dulce De Leche Blackberry Burst, German Chocolate, Harvest Pumpkin, and Chocolate Dipped Banana, among others. If you're undecided, you can request a sample cup to taste all the flavors or even mix different yogurts into one cup. Once you've settled on your frozen yogurt flavor, you face the great wall of all the glorious toppings you could ever imagine, or had never thought of before. The candy toppings section is where you can find gummy bears, candy balls, cookie dough, brownies, mini cheesecake bites, fresh fruit, dried fruit, walnuts, peanuts, whipped cream, marshmallow fluff, hot Hershey syrup, fudge, Oreos, animal cookies, and more. They also give you a sturdy reusable spoon that you can take home with you (the kids love using those spoons for their cereal). They ensure every taste bud is satisfied and you'll leave full and happy. Give it a try, and you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!“

“Are you keeping Cherry Dip Cones? since you are a franchise?“

“Great service. We were asked if we qualify for the senior discount. No one had ever asked us that before. We do. So, received a 10% discount. The blizzards were good but looks like the medium size is not as big as in the past. Not surprising

Parking: No problem this time.“

“We needed 3 tubs of ice cream for our Dad's 90th birthday party. He used to own a Baskin Robins in Minnesota and having Pralines 'n Cream, Jamocha Almond Fudge and Vanilla were an important part of the party. After not being able to find the tubs here in MN I contacted Satish in Windsor Heights IA. He took the time to help us out and we were able to purchase the from him. Thank you so much Satish! Our Dad (and all the guests!) loved the ice cream!!“

“Large catered pizza order arrived hot & fresh, a couple minutes early and was enjoyed by all! Thank you!“

“The milk tea & boba are great; a bit expensive though. I did get a bit confused on where to order, although I did end up finding it after a minute or two. There were a bunch of people there, took about 5-7 minutes for my drink to be done despite the amount of people. Only criticism I would give is the cost, $7 for a milk tea with boba in it is pretty expensive. (For me, at least.)“

“Drive thru closed 15 minutes before closing but went inside for our order! Otherwise terrific“

“Favorite coffee spot in Iowa!“

“Its pretty much in my backyard. Everyone is friendly. Pastries are wonderful. Prices are not insane. The only place I go for coffee now. The staff rocks!“

“This is the best fast food restaurant in Grimes!“

“Fabulous!! Great service! Food was yummy, hot and fresh!“
