19 Best Ice Cream Shops near Edwardsville

“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".“

“Thanks for my newest obsession…Peach, raspberry iced tea 🤗“

“We went tonight for ice cream and Kathryn was beyond amazing. She noticed my son’s shirt and took interest in him and his interests. She was praising him and made his special night even better. It was nice having such a friendly, genuine face to walk into and chat with. She’s a great asset and hope to see her next time we’re in!“

“A shout out to the person handling the dining room and fountain soda. She was amazing and her customer service was outstanding. Date 6/15 Time 12:30 I hope you are able to let her know. Her name tag was hidden behind her apron or we would have had her name. Wow! Dawn Mushill, CEO Customer Service and Beyond“

“You guys did an amazing job with our cake! Thanks so much!!!! ❤“

“1st the food is delicious I love Freddys, But yesterday I had a small problem. I'm the type of person that doesn't Like to complain and I hate confrontation but Megan was so nice and helpful. She fixed the problem immediately and with a smile. With food and employees like Megan, it's always a good experience at Freddys!“

“Pretty good shakes, just not really the service. People will stand talking to they're friends as you are waiting an watching them outside your window an by the time you get them they'll be mostly melted an turn to foam?

Again pretty good shakes just not the service when they're too busy talking with your order in hand.“

“This was my third time at Bobby’s Frozen Custard, and I’m officially hooked! I’ve tried the Hard Rock Cashew and a couple of other flavors absolutely amazing every time. The custard is rich, creamy, and just melts in your mouth.

The atmosphere is fun and welcoming. It’s no surprise why people from all over Edwardsville and the surrounding area love this place it really is something special.

If you haven’t been to Bobby’s yet, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t regret it!“

“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!“

“This ice cream place is one of the best ice cream places I've ever been to!! I always get a banana and pecan Concrete, and this place knocked it out of the park. Real ice cream, big chunks of bananas, and tons of pecans. It was awesome.“

“City Scoops Creamery is a little gem in Troy, IL. They offer a selection of over 30 ice creams, sorbets, and Italian ices. My personal favorite is the Southern Bourbon Butter Pecan. It combines the subtle caramel warmth of bourbon and the nutty crunch of pecans. The service at City Scoops has always been friendly and efficient. If you're in the area, it's worth stopping by.“

“What a wonderful place, love the floats. New ownership is top notch!“

“Yes love this place grandkids love it shaved ice is best around such good flavors“

“First walk in place was very clean and tidy. Also cashier was ready to take our order. Spoke clearly and recited who order back to me. Food took no more than 10 min with no issues and fresh. Ordered alot of dressings and didnt forget a single one. Highly recommended“

“The delicious burger place with best fries and fry sauce out of any burger chain! Great burgers as well! But now, i found a new dynamite dessert that is a mini hot chocolate frost drink for just $2 that hits your sweet chocolate spot, perfectly! It's fantastic! Nice staff, also!“

“I gave them a picture of a macaw dressed as a pirate for a birthday cake and asked for yellow and red borders. And I put in the notes that it was for a Hawaiian pirates themed birthday party. The absolute hero of a decorator ran with our idea. They put palm trees, a pirate map, beautiful colorful flowers and made sand out of graham cracker crumbs!!! They could’ve done the bare minimum but they went above and beyond and knocked it out of the park. This cake was a masterpiece and the decorator deserves a raise! Thank you so very much!“

“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!“

“I've been to this location a handful of times and have had a great experience with the food and service every time but the wait time could be improved on. Each time I've visited it always seems to take twice as long as you would anticipate.

With that being said though, it has always been worth the wait because the food and service from the employees has been well above my expectations. The employees are super friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have. Definitely recommend this location.“

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