15 Best Ice Cream Shops near Polk City

“Easy to find. Friendly staff. Great way to experience a donut as you watch them make it in front of you, then put the topings you chose. This location is smaller than the one in Duck, NC, but still had the same great atmosphere. Loved the t-shirts, though i didn't buy one.

You must check the place out!“

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

“Todo es exelente , atencion al clients y mucho que degustar muy rico“

“The girls at Sweet Swirls today were so accommodating! We brought in, from Rock Creek, 12 residents in at once. They listened, took their time, and made sure every order was right. We appreciate it so much!“

“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 is amazing! The flavors were all so delicious I could hardly pick one! 😋“

“This place is the best i honestly can’t believe ive never heard of this place before, my car broke down on the side of the road due to a popped tire, this girl with glasses waiting outside to clock in walked out of her own car to lend me a hand and completely changed my tire on her own in return i offered her 80 bucks but she said no and it was just a kind gesture i went inside got a couple of snacks for my nicks and the food is just so amazing they can’t stop eating it.“

“Great ice cream flavors, kind employees, generous portion sizes. A good place to grab a treat while visiting the High Trestle Bridge. The Amaretto Cherry ice cream was the best! I would highly recommend stopping by.“

“A special place to create great memories 🍦🍨“

“Their frozen Paletas are the best! They have tons of different flavors and whichever one you choose will not disappoint, the atmosphere is friendly and they have great artwork inside as well. Make sure to come down and give them a visit!“

“I’d like to thank the Outside Scoop, operated by the 12-year-old Kylia for supporting the troop on the RAGBRAI events! We’re grateful for your awesome ice cream on a hot day, and it reminded us of why we choose to serve the people of the USA everyday!“

“I made an order to pickup and when I walked in the door there were 5 employees and not a single one acknowledged me in any way. Not one smile or even eye contact. They were all very busy working and I get that but it only takes a second to acknowledge a customer. The cookies look fantastic and taste amazing. No complaints about the product but I do think the customer experience is not great due to being ignored by the staff.“

“Ice cream was excellent as always!!“

“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!!!!“

“I am the type of person that loves positivity and giving great reviews. Give honor to where honor is due. And I give great reviews, call the managers and praise the service all the time. I have also had my share of terrible service and/or food and usually do not say a word. The experience I had this afternoon at Culvers in Ankeny was horrendous. The food that is. The drive through guy that took my order, payment and delivery was so kind and helpful. I ordered a cod dinner and was only able to eat some of the fish. The 2 sides I ordered were cheese curds and fries. Both were so cold, hard and dry. I was so disappointed. The roll that came with it was cold, hard and dry as well. The butter was good! I did eat most of the fish but it too was tough. WHAT has happened to Culvers? Don't they realize that they are not the only option for food? Sad to say but I will be going to those other options for my meals in the future. The concrete I ordered was sloppy (down side of cup) and melting but did taste good. I HATE leaving a poor review but come on Culvers. Do better. Be better. If it had been just 1 food this review would never have been written. Oh, side note. This was after the lunch rush and before dinner rush. It was close to 2. Got right into drive through with no waiting. Disappointed.“
