13 Best Ice Cream Shops near Le Claire

“So many gluten free delicious options! And GF waffle cones!! 💙💙💙“

“This establishment is just fantastic!! Friendly, generous. And really accommodating to customers needs. HIGHLY recommend!!“

“Have enough people not ranted and raved about this place. I'm already dreaming about the next time I have their banana graham ice cream. Top tier stuff, can't imagine why you would go anywhere else for ice cream if you live anywhere near the quad cities. I'm thankful I'm 2 hours away, otherwise I'd find myself here way too often.“

“Whitey’s is the place to be—hands down, no debate. If you’re visiting the Quad Cities, it’s basically a rite of passage to stop here. From classic scoops to creative shakes, they truly do it all.

If you’re just going for a scoop, the White Chocolate Raspberry is a can’t-miss—it’s smooth, sweet, and perfectly balanced. But if you’re feeling adventurous, go for one of their shakes. My top picks? The Lemon Bar Shake, Pineapple Upside Down Cake Shake, or the Turtle Shake. You really can’t go wrong.

This isn’t just the best ice cream in the QC—it’s easily some of the best ice cream anywhere. Whitey’s knows what they’re doing, and they do it with flavor, heart, and Midwest charm.“

“I freaking love whitey's! We come almost every other day and i personally get a 1.5 qt and eat it all right there! Their ice-cream is the best in the widwest! Shout out whitey's! The workers are great and they are all happy to see us when we walk in! They ask what flavor today! Ella and Tyler deserve a raise! In fact all of the workers do! (sorry I forgot most of the names) but this is our go to location the people are great and the ice cream is great! All around a great place!“

“Froyo bars can really be hit or miss. Peachwave is definitely a hit!

We 100% prefer Peachwave to other, closer froyo bars. Why? It's cleaner. Like, way cleaner. You get to put your own toppings on, including syrups. The toppings are better (e.g., hot fudge vs chocolate syrup). The flavors are great. The staff is friendly. And the prices are still super reasonable.

Whenever the timing lines up and Peachwave is open while we're nearby, we stop in for at least 4oz of deliciousness.“

“Colona DQ is hands down the BEST! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“I don’t just review restaurants for no reason. Culver’s is Culver’s in terms of food, but the employees here are exceptional. They are friendly, accommodating and go out of there way to make dining here a good experience. I’m not from the area but ate here twice in the last few days and was blown away by how great the staff was. Kudos to this location, they’ve got it figured out.“

“I had a great experience here! I called to order an ice cream cake, and even though the specific cake I wanted wasn't on the menu, the staff went above and beyond to custom-make it for me. The man I spoke with was incredibly kind and accommodating, and the cake turned out absolutely delicious — all at a very reasonable price. Thank you so much for the excellent customer service“

“Great butter burgers, fries, and hot sandwiches. The frozen custard is delicious and freshly made with your choice of mixins to make yummy concretes. Order at the counter & your food is delivered to your table, or use drive-in or pickup.“

“Brought our dogs for their 10th Bday to get Pup Cups. They're always very nice.“
