18 Best Ice Cream Shops in Des Moines

“The ice cream here is absolutely delicious! I was also honored to meet the owner and some of the staff while I was working at a local haunted house and they were so much fun to be around! I will always love this place!“

“This place is the best i honestly can’t believe ive never heard of this place before, my car broke down on the side of the road due to a popped tire, this girl with glasses waiting outside to clock in walked out of her own car to lend me a hand and completely changed my tire on her own in return i offered her 80 bucks but she said no and it was just a kind gesture i went inside got a couple of snacks for my nicks and the food is just so amazing they can’t stop eating it.“

“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!!!“

“We submitted a large order for a 500+ person annual event--very impressed with the communication, professionalism, and high-quality of the chocolate, personalized with our logo and packaged as gifts, for our guests. Chocolaterie Stam will definitely top of our list for future gifts as a special treat!“

“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!“

“I've been wanting ice cream and one day we just turned into DQ & drove up to the window.Didn't even see the microphone area to order, up to the window we went. Were able to order 2 Med. Blizzard's ...Awww, just sweet delight ?“

“amazing chill atmosphere as well as staff. The food is great. I actually cried on my way home from the genuin kindness the cashier showed me on a hard day. 10/10 recommend. the iced coffee and Americono are my go to. My bf likes the espresso. WHO EVER WORKED TONIGHT THANK YOU!!!“

“This is in a predominately Latino strip mall so a lot of the staff don't speak much English but I can usually get by on hand gestures. The paletas (popsicles) are really good here! I usually get the "fresa con crema" which is strawberries and cream. They also do a lot of other novelty foods which I haven't tried yet, but they seem very popular! They also have hand-scooped ice cream but I'm not sure if it's made in-house or not. Apparently, that was very good and creamy!“

“Vegan menu! Tortas were soft and delicious and the nachos were the best I ever had!“

“The inside is beautiful, with plants and how the tables are arranged. They even have a little area where board games were located.
I got the gelato three scoops regular strawberry and green tea. The strawberry was a bit sour but the... ????? ???!!!? was soooooo smooth(that I forgot Im lactose intolerant) having both helped balance it out. 10/10 recommend ?“

“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.)“
