Ice Cream Shops in Dubuque

“We stopped at Cold Stone Creamery in Dubuque, IA on our way to Eagle Point Park. They had just opened, so we had the place to ourselves. The cashier came out right away, was super friendly, and patiently helped us decide between all the amazing options.

I ordered a Love It size Cornbread is My Jam, and my friend went with a Love It Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Dream Shake. My ice cream was a little overmixed, so it didn’t quite look like the photo, or good enough for a photo—but it was delicious. The perfect combo of tart fruit, sweet jam, and moist yet crumbly cornbread. I can’t stress enough how tasty it was.

The peanut butter shake was also incredible—rich, creamy, and loaded with peanut butter up and down the sides of the cup. Both treats disappeared quite quickly.

Overall, the service was great, the treats were delicious, and I’d absolutely stop here again the next time I’m in Dubuque. Highly recommend.“

“Always a friendly, atmosphere, very knowledgeable staff, I absolutely love The Spot!“

“It truly is the best ice cream in town. Especially the raspberry Oreo!“

“Amazing food! Service at this location is fantastic and they are pretty quick for the most part. We are lucky to have such a good Chick-Fil-A here in town. The sandwiches are good even at the Saints Hockey games. I’m usually never disappointed here. Got it twice today and both times were superb!“

“Came from the Twin Cities and honestly, Driftless Pizza is better than any of the pizza I've had up there.

I got the small tie die Detroit style - absolutely phenomenal and a lot of food for the price. Really couldn't have been improved in any way in my view - delicious pie.

Dubuque is really impressing me culinarily- really punching above its weight. 5 stars.“

“Happened to stumble across this shop today after having lunch in Dubuque, and this is definitely a place I am making any visiting friends and family go to! The atmosphere is amazing, the gelato is to die for! Also purchased a bunch of gorgeous gourmet chocolates we can’t wait to try. Lots of darling gifts and goodies. Gotta check this out!“

“First time visiting today. The service was amazing and the food was awesome. Burgers tasted like a old time burger. Will be back for sure.“

“Delicious protein bowls. I love that they are customizable!“

“We drive past 2 of the chain DQs to go to this one. They should all be the same but aren’t — Rhomberg has ice cream and Blizzards that just taste better. Well worth the trip — it’s the only DQ we patronize.“
