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!“

“northside can do no wrong. the signs remind me i need to shovel as much money to them as i can“

“Great custard place in town. Always great service and delicious ice cream. What I love the most is the family friendly environment. If you are just passing by or local. You should definitely try Uptown Scoops. The location is perfect by our library.“

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

“Best coffee in the area!!“

“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!“

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

“Love lisas dairy bar always a good friendly experience and great ice cream!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Great food, ice cream Sunday's, concretes, and slushy!!! The service was also above and beyond great! I got a oreo concrete for my younger brother, it was so thick and full of cookie pieces that it almost snapped his spoon. The Hawaiian sunday my sister-in-law loved and I got a tigers blood slushy and it was absolutely 💯 on point! They have a drive thru or walk up window. I went through the drive thru, and got everything fast and cold! If you're in Granite City this is a must go spot!!! Open all year I do believe.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

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

“The food was good and the restaurant was clean, but the real stand out here is the service. I haven’t had that pleasant of an interaction with fast food workers maybe ever. To have the staff tell you that they appreciate you is a really nice change of pace, and if you’re having a bad day, I imagine between the ice cream and the staff you would leave feeling a lot better.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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