27 Best Ice Cream Shops near Glen Carbon

“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!“

“Very friendly service. Ice cream was okay. Unfortunately it was melting as soon as they handed me my cone, even though it was a cooler night. I can't imagine how hard it would have been to enjoy it on a warm day. Not sure why their product turned to liquid so quickly. Couldn't even get a photo of the actual cone because it was melting so fast.“

“Very clean place love the atmosphere ice cream was amazing!“

“Please I’m begging you do a banana cream pie version of the lemon delight“

“I don’t like coffee all that much but they have me hooked with their oat milk latte. Customer service is amazing as well🫶🏽“

“Best dairy product shop in the Merro area, in my opinion. However, Frozen Yogurt is not ice cream, so others may think differently. They rarely don't have a line at the drive through, "in einter" if that tells you anything. Lines in summer can get pretty long, but they also host music events, that draw large crowds on weekends, in nice weather.

Kid-friendliness: Very, although, it is open to the parking, so keep an eye on small children.

Wheelchair accessibility: Open, outdoor. fully paved, plus a drive through. Could not get more accessible, if you tried.“

“Great customer service and yummy food. The team also did a great job handling a rude customer complaining about a charge that was clearly listed on the menu. We will be back!“

“Absolutely love their banana ice cream“

“Probably the best shake I have had in my entire life. Brownie Batter ice cream with oreo toppings, I highly recommend. Was there on the 4th of July in the evening, seemed like the family was there working rather than non-family staff, which I appreciate.“

“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“

“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!“

“The first time we ordered, we were disappointed with our food. However, they reached out right away, apologized, and gave us a discount for our next visit. We decided to try them again tonight, and everything was great. The food was cooked perfectly, the staff was nice, and my kids got to play a board game. If you had a less than stellar first experience with them, I would suggest giving them another try.“

“Great place for a quick bite, be it breakfast, lunch, or anytime. Biscuits and gravy are always a great breakfast grab, or try the caramel latte macchiato if caffeine is more your style. For lunch and beyond, there's a decent assortment of burgers and sandwiches. I'm especially partial to the tacos. And, of course, don't forget to grab a cone for dessert!!“

“I really come here they have a range variety of “Paleterias” now pan dulce! So yummy and friendly! Lots of parking spaces. If I recall correctly it’s cash.“

“It was okay of a hamburger place. I'll probably go back. It was nothing like In -N-out outburger It was almost like a whopper from burger king. I'll definitely go back and try something different. But you don't have to take my word for it“

“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“

“My two grandchildren and I were getting hungry - they saw the Freddy's sign and we stopped in. The people who waited on us were very good - they helped us all order what we were looking for - and it was delicious. We ate in the restaurant and was very pleased with all who work there. Thank you - great memories for all of us.“

“If you like smash burgers then Freddy's is for you. The burgers were very good. They serve very thin fries that some how are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. They have three different fry sauces jalapeno, smokey and original. Original was my favorite. Service was very fast and the restaurant was clean.“

“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.“

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

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

“The employees are super nice and the food was good. But they really need to fix the pot holes before someone gets hurt. or loses a tire ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“best food best service such a clean place AMAZING icecream“

“My son loved his icecream cake! (Oreo icecream) Ive never had a problem at dairy queen with an order, or a rude employee! I usually don't go to fast food joints much anymore BUT gotta stop in at dq once in awhile! In fact, I've been craving a banana split like nobody's business, so I'll probably be stopping in soon! You should too! :-)

Dietary restrictions: I DO have some gastric issues that prevent me from eating much fast food these days due to the grease and fat content and such..most things upset my belly..when my son wanted dq for his bday I wanted so.ething but noticed there was no "grilled chicken" options so I asked and the lady recommended "rotisserie chicken bites". There weren't many in an order but I would've happily ordered an extra if I would've known I'd like them as much as I did and surprisingly they didn't irritate my stomach too bad. Win for me! I recommend the rotisserie chicken bites if you can't have have much fried stuff.“
