36 Best Ice Cream Shops near Windsor Heights

“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!!“

“Amazing prices great staff“

“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!“

“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!“

“Delicious, unique, hand crafted ice cream!!!!“

“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⭐️“

“Great selection. Very Helpful. The Cookie Monster is a must!“

“This is an amazing shop in the Highland Park Oak Park area just off of sixth. The ice cream is so tasty and the ELOTES, fire. The price is also where it needs to be for the neighborhood demographic, affordable but profitable. It is so wonderful to have in the neighborhood :)“

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

“GREAT wendy whirls! our kids loved this place! great and friendly service“

“We decided, as we drove by, to stop in and see what this place was about. It was a really nice environment (kind of like Molly's Cupcakes). I tried the "Molly's Mashup", where the take a cupcake, split it in half, and put ice cream in between with a topping (I opted for red velvet cupcake with strawberry lemonade sorbet with whipped cream) and he tried a double scoop of mixed berry swirl ice cream. The awesome thing about the mixed berry swirl was it had pieces of vanilla cupcake in it. We were satisfied with what we got and plan to try a different combination the next time we come!!!“

“Great people and real food. ❤️👍“

“High quality, rotating ice cream flavors made in-house. Lots of selection, both in the dipping case and to-go pints in the freezer. This ice cream is premium - it's my very favorite shop in the area and I gladly pay a little extra for something this incredibly delicious.“

“Great experience there whenever I’ve visited.“

“Great ice cream with a fun, old-time family feel. NOTE: DOES NOT ACCEPT CREDIT OR DEBIT CARDS — CASH OR CHECK ONLY.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“The lady that works there is very nice and I like the Facebook deals they offer.“

“Great people and real food. ❤️👍“

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

“The food is so delicious and authentic 😋 10000% recommend this place!“

“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.“

“Are you keeping Cherry Dip Cones? since you are a franchise?“

“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.“

“Menchie's is the ultimate frozen yogurt destination, perfect for visits with kids, friends, or family dessert outings. The establishment is safe and clean, with a self-serving setup that allows you to take your time choosing the number of toppings, your preferred flavor, and whether you need more. The array of frozen yogurt options caters to all tastes, including seasonal flavors that vary but never disappoint, but their typical options include Take the Cake Batter (a personal favorite), Reese's, Dreamy Dulce De Leche Blackberry Burst, German Chocolate, Harvest Pumpkin, and Chocolate Dipped Banana, among others. If you're undecided, you can request a sample cup to taste all the flavors or even mix different yogurts into one cup. Once you've settled on your frozen yogurt flavor, you face the great wall of all the glorious toppings you could ever imagine, or had never thought of before. The candy toppings section is where you can find gummy bears, candy balls, cookie dough, brownies, mini cheesecake bites, fresh fruit, dried fruit, walnuts, peanuts, whipped cream, marshmallow fluff, hot Hershey syrup, fudge, Oreos, animal cookies, and more. They also give you a sturdy reusable spoon that you can take home with you (the kids love using those spoons for their cereal). They ensure every taste bud is satisfied and you'll leave full and happy. Give it a try, and you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!“

“amazing chill atmosphere as well as staff. The food is great. I actually cried on my way home from the genuin kindness the cashier showed me on a hard day. 10/10 recommend. the iced coffee and Americono are my go to. My bf likes the espresso. WHO EVER WORKED TONIGHT THANK YOU!!!“

“This is in a predominately Latino strip mall so a lot of the staff don't speak much English but I can usually get by on hand gestures. The paletas (popsicles) are really good here! I usually get the "fresa con crema" which is strawberries and cream. They also do a lot of other novelty foods which I haven't tried yet, but they seem very popular! They also have hand-scooped ice cream but I'm not sure if it's made in-house or not. Apparently, that was very good and creamy!“

“We love ice cream in our house, so we visit Baskin-Robbins frequently. The Ankeny staff are always so kind, and one staff member recognizes me when I stop in. I got our usuals tonight, and they remembered that I used the drive-thru last time because I had my dog with me. They asked about him and even packaged up a pup cup for him!“

“I've been wanting ice cream and one day we just turned into DQ & drove up to the window.Didn't even see the microphone area to order, up to the window we went. Were able to order 2 Med. Blizzard's ...Awww, just sweet delight ?“

“The inside is beautiful, with plants and how the tables are arranged. They even have a little area where board games were located.
I got the gelato three scoops regular strawberry and green tea. The strawberry was a bit sour but the... ????? ???!!!? was soooooo smooth(that I forgot Im lactose intolerant) having both helped balance it out. 10/10 recommend ?“

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