22 Best Ice Cream Shops near Grimes

“We arrived at Al's right at 9 PM - while most would have the look of "are you kidding me... we just want to go home" - we were served with welcoming smiles and warm, positive verbal and nonverbal tones! The owner and staff at this establishment are amazing! We frequent this place way too many times each week and could not be more pleased with the service we receive each time! 10⭐️“

“I love Culver’s a lot but this isn’t the first time I had an issue with the location messing up when there is absolutely no rush going. I have worked in the fast food industry before and I understand little mistakes can happen such as forgetting mayo and ketchup but those mistakes shouldn’t happen when there are only two costumers. That is just carelessness on their part. 4 stars on food cause of this being not the first time it has happened. 1st time I waited almost an hour for a concrete mixer when they were slow. This is review is just to show what they need to work on because again I used to work fast food and I was management so I understand crap happens. But please try to better.“

“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!“

“Ordering your paleta at Monarca is an adventure. The options are endless and you can’t go wrong with any choice. I’m officially addicted to their strawberry cheesecake dipped in white chocolate and rolled in graham crackers. Yum!“

“Amazing prices great staff“

“Great people and real food. ❤️👍“

“Great experience there whenever I’ve visited.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“We needed 3 tubs of ice cream for our Dad's 90th birthday party. He used to own a Baskin Robins in Minnesota and having Pralines 'n Cream, Jamocha Almond Fudge and Vanilla were an important part of the party. After not being able to find the tubs here in MN I contacted Satish in Windsor Heights IA. He took the time to help us out and we were able to purchase the from him. Thank you so much Satish! Our Dad (and all the guests!) loved the ice cream!!“

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

“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.)“
