26 Best Ice Cream Shops near Milan

“Grew up always getting something. Thanks for new driver but I didn't get out in time truck wasn't driving slow . to do so maybe next.“

“I haven’t been here in years. I looked online for family deals on Mondays, and I saw the family night on Monday night. So I checked the menu online, and found the Milan Happy Joes has a family special, for $25 and it comes with pizza and pop. Okay. So I call, and order ahead. I honestly think I could have clarified exactly what the special was, but in my defense, I thought I was ordering what the menu showed so it didn’t occur to me to verify. Plus, for years, it’s always been that. Hind sight is always 20/20.

When we arrived, she said drinks were not included, but what would we like. I’m stunned. She got our drinks. I was thinking about this, and my husband came back from the restroom and I let him know that actually the family special is evidently $27.99 and comes with breadsticks and cinnamon pizza. Drinks are not included. So my husband talked to a manager. To which the manager replied, well that’s a Google doc. Which. That is incorrect, Google was the search engine I used….. he also said well that’s Google and not happy joes. So I said okay, let me show you how I got here. So I went to happy joes, clicked deals, and it asked for participating locations. I clicked Illinois, then I clicked Milan. From there, I clicked menu. I screenshotted the menu, and the home page of my phone to show the date I was here, October 6, 2025. Technically I could sue happy joes for them not honoring their contract. However that’s silly and I’m not going to do that. BUT, the menu should reflect what they are selling, and it should reflect correctly.

So, once the manager realizes, that I wasn’t on a “Google docs” as he so put it, whatever that is……he told me he is not responsible for corporate and what they put on their menu. He also said that it’s a lot of food, and I can’t expect that price listed. (I didn’t realize what I was ordering, I thought the family special was JUST pizza and pop)

So. With all that said,

We had, a small pepperoni. A half nacho Joe, and half sausage. The special comes with a tiny cinnamon pizza, and a cheese bread with marinara sauce.

Not one single complaint with the food. Everything was hot, and fresh. I’ve actually never had the cheese bread, or the cinnamon bread, and I can see why they would be on the special, because they were soooo good and possibly the stars of the show. It SHOULD be reflected on the menu.

Would I come here again? I want to say yes, because it’s good, and nostalgic. I just have to pray about my attitude in regards to the conversation I had with the manager, because he made me feel as if I, was the problem.“

“I just went and got an extra large scoop of Mississippi mud and I absolutely enjoyed it and my experience was even better because of Izzy she was an incredible and happy and joyful employee every time she works, I will be in there keep up the good work, Whiteys fam! Izzy is also very clean“

“The lady who worked tonight with long brunette hair was so sweet. I ordered a shake that I didn't know had peanuts in it. I didn't ask because my allergy has been a very recent development. She switched it out once I took a bite and tasted peanuts. She was very understanding & helpful. No questions asked, just did her job and did it well! Thank you for no arguments or shame. Will definitely come to this specific location again.“

“What a can I say, this ice cream parlor always brings a smile to my face when we go up to the Quad cities. The almond joy is my favorite flavor. Unfortunately, they don’t pre-make the pint but they can pack for you at the double the cost. But I get it. It’s worth it. Really delicious.“

“Okay I feel like I should’ve just copied and pasted my other whiteys reviews here. There are so many whiteys locations in the QC to choose from but the wonderful thing is, quality is consistent. It is a local gem to us and we love it! The best thing about this east moline location is this one has a drive thru.

If you don’t know what to get, try a turtle malt!“

“The best place to get ice cream in the QC amazing ice cream. Better than Dairy Queen by a long shot. Get the chocolate fudge brownie shake it is so good. They are not to expensive and they have an outdoor seating area. They do have a small bathroom in the bac on that is kind of dirty with a lot of locks on it. But overall Whitey's is the best ice cream place in the Midwest.“

“I love this Icy Bubbles store,I get my favorite avocado 🥑 smoothie and cookies and cream shake.Highly recommended,it gives me nostalgia.😉Perfect for summer.“

“The ice cream is amazing. The place is a gem, but I can no longer go there anymore because I cannot get my favorite candy. They don’t want to sell me the cherry the orange or the blue raspberries out of the sour taffy bulk, they want me to BUY ALL THE YELLO W AND GREEN TAFFY before I can buy any other flavors? I can’t purchase any other colors until I buy all the yellow and green? Literally they will not bring out another bag until I purchase every yellow or green one there! I feel singled out! 🤣“

“Peachwave is our absolute favorite spot to hit on school early-out days! We love taking advantage of the discount they offer for students and families—it’s such a great way to reward the kids and get a mid-week treat without breaking the bank.

The shop is always clean, the topping selection is massive, and the staff is super friendly even when it gets busy with the after-school crowd. It’s become a tradition for us, and we look forward to it every time. 5 stars for being such a great, community-friendly local business!“

“While the location-due to being part of a shopping strip-leaves a bit to be desired, there is a reasonable sized outdoor seating area, fenced off with benches. The service has always been fantastic, and the staff are courteous and efficient. Whitey's has some of the best ice cream around, and this location is no different!“

“Crumbl has some of the most creative and tasty cookies around. I love trying the rotating flavors each week, there’s always something new to enjoy. The cookies are soft and fresh, and the presentation is always on point. My only complaint is that they can be a bit pricey, and sometimes the cookies are a little too sweet for my taste. Still, it’s a great treat and worth stopping by when you want a fun dessert.“
