24 Best Ice Cream Shops near Collinsville

“We are from Ohio, the Columbus area. Passing thru on a work/vacation trip and wanted desert after have dinner. Found Uptown Scoops on a quick search for ice cream in the Collinsville area, just a slight detour on drive back to Hotel. Collinsville is a small community with what appears to be a vibrant and alive Uptown area. We enjoyed the experience and loved the sundaes we purchased. Really liked the fact that there are quite a few things for the children to play with while the adults enjoy the treats and conversation. Keep on keeping on. We will definitely stop again if we are in the St. Louis area.“

“The Collinsville Dairy Freeze is a community staple. The owners and staff are friendly and efficient. If you haven’t yet had their orange sherbet, it’s the best (possibly the best in the world!).“

“Visited to dine in yesterday and was pleased with both the speed and accuracy of service. Absolutely nothing wrong with our order, which is kind of a rarity these days. This location was very attentive when my wife said the could not have the dairy or glutton. The offered to change their gloves and clean off the equipment that would have come into contact with other allergens. This left an impression with my wife.“

“When we've been there the service is always good and the staff friendly. The food is good. I especially like their grilled chicken club with fries. Their frozen custard is pretty good but I really enjoyed their banana shake. They have a good mix of Dr Pepper on the soda fountain most of the time.“

“We live in the Glen Carbon and this is by far the best DQ in the area! Management and staff are wonderful and food is always good!“

“my fav place to go. staff are wonderful people“

“They have the most delicious ice cream! My boys and I really enjoy it. Also they serve pup cups and our little doggie Bean loves it 😊 Very friendly staff!“

“This place is awesome! The only drawbacks are the cash only and the location causes some minor traffic issues all in all I will still drive past other ice cream establishments to come here. Best place to go get a sweet treat with the family!“

“The ice cream is very good, but...don't plan on any "naughty" flavors at the Edwardsville store, probably ever. That aspect is very disappointing. Service is great, atmosphere good. The owners should be up-front and post "no boozy flavors" on the Edwardsville website, not just a sign inside (after you're already inside the store). The ice cream was very tasty, but I was craving something "special".“

“Always enjoyable. love the flavors“

“Very polite employees. Explained all the flavors well to me as this was my first time ever there. Very happy with my selections and will definitely be back. I loved how open the kitchen was, so I was able to see the food prep area and let me say as a food service employee that this place is spotless. Very impressed with how clean it was. The employees were working together and communicating like a team should. Keep up the great work and I will be back.“

“Closed on Mondays in May FYI“

“The lines were long but we got through very fast. It was worth the wait. My relatives who we were visiting took us there. It was nostalgic looking and we were impressed by the shear number of people who were there during our visit. I can just imagine what it would look like on am extremely warm evening.“

“What is better than home cooked? They believe in flavor here. I have tried most of the food menu and loved everything so far. The momma drinks are awesome and the ice cream hasn’t disappointed. I recommend them and I am a regular.“

“This place has some of the best boba I’ve had. The drinks taste fresh and balanced, and they are not overly sweet. The tapioca pearls are soft and chewy, which makes the drink even better. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick, even when it gets busy. The shop is clean and has a nice, relaxed vibe. You can really tell the owner takes pride in the store and cares about the quality and customer experience. My favorite drink here is the green tea mango boba. It’s refreshing and full of flavor. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you like fruity drinks. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“My brother is terminally ill. One of two things on his bucket list were to 1) go deep sea fishing - which can’t happen, and 2) try Gooey Buttercake Ice Cream. After running everywhere yesterday to try to find it, with no luck, as a last ditch effort I went in to Annie’s. They did not have it on the menu but Emily (the owner) was so considerate when she heard what was happening that she decided to attempt to make it on her own for me to pick up today. She told me everyone said it was delicious who tried it. Unfortunately, my brother will likely not be able to taste it as he is relatively unresponsive within a very short 24 hour period. The service, the support, them going above and beyond from what I could have ever dreamed of is absolutely beyond words. I’m sure Tom would have loved it. Thank you, Emily! There are still angels on this earth. And my daughter is absolutely addicted to your custard, and has been for four years!“

“My wife and I really enjoyed our experience yesterday (6/13/26) at City Scoops! The worker there was very accommodating to all of our requests, answered all of our questions, and made us feel very welcome along with all of the other customers that were in the store. Definitely coming back soon!“

“great food and great service ‼️“

“We love going down to Sweet Nettie B's for a delicious ice cream treat with the family! Yummy ice cream, great portion sizes and plenty of toppings! Last time I was there, he told me he had some new flavors coming and asked me to try them and they were all so good! I especially loved the gooey butter cake flavor!“

“Ice Cream Heaven is a cute, little family-run ice cream stand on the east end of Belleville.  Perfect spot for a quick ice cream snack, or even your bulgogi needs!  My last visit was on Father's Day 2025- it's my grandpa's favorite ice cream spot.  To me, it's exactly what an ice cream stand should feel like- there's seating, decent prices, and lots of variety.  I like popping by after a game of softball on a summer night.

Only complaint is their very tight parking lot.  If you're close enough, I suggest walking.  On Father's Day, there were lots of customers and my family witnessed someone backing into another car when trying to leave.  This isn't anything on the business, but just something to be award of if you plan on going on a busy day.

Need to know: They only accept cash payment.“

“I can't really have ice cream. And if I did I wouldn't have this because it's just oddly cold. I understand that's kind of a point but I can't stand when I put ice cream in my mouth and I can feel it clinging to my tongue. It's just weird“

“I ordered the avocado BLT and it was amazing!! I love a good BLT and this instantly became a favorite! my daughter got the chicken tenders and couldn't even eat them all! they are decent size portions! I got the dragon fruit popping Boba and she got the pineapple.. seriously amazing! my favorite part, though, is the customer service. the woman was very sweet, genuinely kind!“

“This was paid first time getting custard. It was great. I had the Hula, my son had the Mud Pie, and my daughter had the Birthday cake.“
