Such a great ice cream shop, just 10 min drive from jester park! Super reasonable prices and the ice cream is delicious. Their ice cream sandwiches are made in store with big chocolate chip cookies and a roughly 2” thick ice cream middle 🤤 Should’ve snapped a pic but it was gobbled up too quick. I try to visit anytime I’m in the area!

This place is the bomb.com, my wife and I go here often on lunch hours, their soft serve ice cream and snowstorms are so good and the staff at the window are always fast and kind! EatLocal

I ordered a medium chocolate snowstorm with Reese's peanut butter cups as the mix-in. The staff were friendly and courteous and I could pay with credit card, unlike other ice cream shops. There is seating inside and outside.
I was surprised and appreciated when there was a layer of peanut butter cups on top of the ice cream. The chocolate ice cream was excellent. This was much better compared to the ice cream shop in Johnston. I would visit here again.

It took a few minutes to get through the drive thru but it was worth it!

I am a huge fan of their ice cream and the pricing for the sizes that you get! Tonight i decided to take my 21mo for her first ice cream trip and I got her the Pineapple Dole Whip Twist with Vanilla Ice Cream and I obviously had to sneak a taste and safe to say IT WAS AMAZING 😍 Definitely a summer must! The pineapple flavor was sooo good and not fake or artificial at all and my daughter loved it! I ordered my usual snowstorm with vanilla ice cream, cheesecake, peanut butter and caramel and still good as ever. I am so glad I saw that one guys tiktok review of this place because it's a 4min drive from me and I had never heard of it until I saw the tiktok about a month ago. This will be my go to ice cream/sweet treat stop from here on out and I look forward to continuing to do ice cream trips with my daughter as she grows! Employees are so nice and very helpful and the environment is very nice and family friendly. I like that they have outdoor seating as well!

This place has the best ice cream flavor combinations, and their dole whip is soooo creamy and fresh. The key lime pie snowstorm storm was loaded with cheesecake. The employees are super nice too.

Made it a point to visit Al's while in Des Moines for the weekend, and specifically picked the weekend they were offering Lemon Dole Whip. Delicious!

Saw a tiktok and decided to check this place out since I live nearby! I was surprised that it's been there as long as it has and that I had never heard of it considering their ice cream is soooo good!!! I got a small snowstorm (similar to a blizzard) vanilla ice cream with Reeses and cheesecake! The portion was a pretty decent amount with all the toppings and was extremely tasteful. I also saw they have a Monster Cookie snowstorm, which I am dying to try (since that's my fave Cookie ever). I highly recommend this place if you live in Grimes or the surrounding areas! It's definitely worth the money and fairly priced. Staff was also very friendly!

The staff is amazing but somehow the ice cream is even MORE amazing. It’s the cutest and yummiest local place we’ve found. Our new go to spot!!!
Best Black Cherry malt I have had. Owner knows how to mix a malt
Cute little spot. Great variety and prices too.🍦🍧🍨
It was really busy and a bit of a small space, but the ice cream was good. The variety on the menu is great and interesting. Would definitely go back.
My 11 year old wants me to tell the world…
“The goodies (in the snowstorm) go all the way to the bottom!”
