37 Best Ice Cream Shops near Grimes

“It was a great day for Lincoln… he had a chocolate dipped waffle cone with chocolate brownie extreme ice cream! 😋“

“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!“

“My daughters birthday is today and we went all out with a sash and balloon. She wanted to do lunch at culvers and they made it a special visit. When they saw the balloons the staff at the front immediately wished her happy birthday and let her know she could get a free scoop when she was ready. They really made her birthday memorable and she was soo happy she hasn’t stopped talking about it yet to anyone who’s called her today lol“

“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!“

Chocolaterie Stam will definitely top of our list for future gifts as a special treat!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Wow.... soooooo good. First time eating here and will definitely return. I order the 2 meat, 2 sides. Turkey strips, catfish, green beans w/ potatoes, and jalapeño corn. It was all pretty good, but the catfish takes the trophy!!! Jalapeño corn, also amazing!!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“because the Ice cream is the best 👌 🍦🍦“

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

“We love treating ourselves to Orange Leaf. They have many different flavors of frozen yogurt and usually some sorbet, and I love that they label the ones that are gluten free and dairy free. They have many different toppings, and they also have acai bowls. There are 3 different sizes you can choose from, and they are priced by size and not by weight. They will also give you a small taste cup to try the flavors before you make your selection. l have celiac, so I have to worry about cross-contamination with the toppings, but they have offered to get me fresh toppings from the back to ensure they haven't been cross contaminated. I would absolutely recommend Orange Leaf.“

“They didn't have no waffle cones made a place was pretty busy one guy says no they don't have the other one says they can make it to take 7 minutes that's what you call a lost opportunity to make more money because you had no waffle cones made“

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

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

“I really enjoy the Sourdough Melt. not a lot of options out there for sourdough or melts so I swing by and make it a double 🫠“

“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.)“

“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!“

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

“Favorite coffee spot in Iowa!“

“First time at this Culver's. Decided to try it as I was in the area and in need of a quick, but tasty option for lunch. The staff here was very friendly, my double butter burger with cheese curds was delicious, and the restaurant was very clean. Might be my new favorite Culver's in the Des Moines metro.“
