This has to be the best ice cream in the world! Our treat before we head home from Des Moines is ice cream and we only go to Al's Dairy Freeze! If you haven't had it, just try it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't say enough great things about Al’s ice cream! Hands down the best ice cream I've ever had. The flavors are rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. What sets this place apart, though, is how generous they are with the mix-ins! Highly recommend!

05/12/2024 We were already full from a great stop for dinner...but then we saw a new ice cream shop that we hadn't yet visited. There is always room in your stomach for ice cream - right?
Since we had just eaten dinner, we decided to share a Sundae (see picture)...and since the large was only $1 more...why not splurge? While it was very tasty, we did have to eat quite quickly to keep the spill-over-melt situation to a minimum. It was worth every spoonful - if you are in the area, you definitely want to stop and try one of your favorite desserts!

Very good ice cream, slushies and coffee. Not over priced at all compared to many other ice cream places. All workers were very friendly and efficient!

Drive thru service was fast and the server at the window was so kind and helpful. She answered all our questions with a smile. Ice cream was delicious and prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back to support this awesome local business!
Dietary restrictions: Dairy free dole whip was so good and there were gluten free cone options as well

If you love your ice cream loaded with toppings/mix ins, this is the place to go! They do not skimp, you get what you pay for, and I hope they never change! They also offer rotating flavors of Dole Whip too. They have also partnered with a local baker to provide their delicious bake goods in certain items.Local, family owned business with a convenient drive thru and indoor or outdoor seating.
