23 Best Ice Cream Shops near Cedar Lake

“Nice location off the water….my only thing is it’s so busy you really can’t take your time to order and figure out what you want…..other than that everything else was sweet. Great view….glacier freeze was pretty nice drink to refresh with“

“We stopped here today after visiting the Shrine in St. John, we are from out of town and tried to find something to eat quick because our kids were hungry. OMG! IT WAS SO GOOD. They were SO fast with getting our food out, and it was so tasty! The burgers were big, juicy, delicious. Fries were hot and crispy. I'm so glad we stopped here!!! Highly recommend.“

“I went there and ordered a 6 piece chicken basket and I asked for extra gravy(2 cups) and extra honey mustard and I had to wait about 3ir 4 minutes till
My order was ready I asked the girl at the window if there were two gravies and honey mustards in there and she said yes. When I asked her to please check she refused and said she guarantees they're in there. But when I got home and sat down to eat I opened the box Niether were there! When I called to complain cuz this is the second time this has happened to me but I got a stupid recording!! I'm so disgusted ! The fact that she refused to check when I was there and the fact that I was stupid enough to believe her! Never again!! This is not the way to keep customers coming back!! Wake up Dairy Queen!!“

“I just want to say I frequently visit Culvers in Cedar Lake and am very impressed. My food is always made fresh and hot as well as very tasty. Also, props to the whole staff who are among the best and most COURTEOUS I have ever encountered Keep up the good work CULVERS OF CEDAR LAKE“

“So glad we found Azucar!!! They had so many great options we just kept ordering!! We got Mangonada’s, Fresca Nada’s, Watermelon - Strawberry - Mango ice and other ice creams in a pint. Paleta’s, chips n cheese, and my now favorite Elote Nachos!!! The owner serviced us and she was so sweet and patient!! Our new favorite place!“

“It is easy. You get in and out with high quality desserts, but just a little small for when there is a decent amount of people there.

Parking: There were plenty of parking spots open, so you are able to park right next to the store.“

“They have real ice cream, we love the vanilla/chocolate twist in a waffle cone & sugar cone. The staff is always friendly & cheerful. Our dogs go bananas over the pup cups! Reasonably priced. Nice portions, always a treat for the whole family! :-)“

“l love the honeydew melon bubble tea“

“I was traveling through Crown Point and was blessed to have parked across the street from here. From the moment I walked in to the moment I started my 5 hour drive back home I was greatly impressed. The owner, the staff, the amazingly delicious offerings... I don't travel this way often but even when close I will be sure to take the time to come back. My only advice... Don't walk, run to Will it Waffle!!!“

“Stopped in for the first time and was immediately greeted. Food was yummy and I ordered the fall drink as a frappe. They have a book shelf with books for all ages, and crayons and coloring books for littles. 10/10 recommend“

“This is the best Dairy Queen around. Friendly staff with fast service and no screwed up orders. Everything here is 20-40% cheaper than the St John and Schererville locations. A box of 6 dilly bars cost $8.99 in Dyer. A box of dilly bars in St. John cost $17.99 and $16.99 in Schererville. The Schererville store ice cream quality is terrible, the blizzards are watery every time ive been there and ive been there around 20 times“

“The flavor and toppings selections were great. I got Banana, Vanilla and chocolate yogurt with butterfinger and Reese's with peanut butter drizzle on top. Tasted great!

The reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the price. Unfortunately $18+ for my bowl didn't seem like a good deal.“

“well I'm really torn on if I should recommend or not... most of the time the food is fine but when it comes to fundraisers they are really really horrid. let's put a box out and not put anything on the box so the majority of the people have no idea about tossing their receipts in there for a cause... im pretty sure they make enough money where they can put something on the boxes for the customers... if they are so scared about losing money don't even bother... yesterday I was there around 4 and not one person threw a receipt in the box.. I was the first.... second fundraiser and second time unless you already knew, had no idea about it.. .“

“Kyoto Ramen isn't just a place to grab a bowl of noodles; it's a wonderfully inviting experience. From the moment you walk in, the great atmosphere makes you feel right at home, and the friendly staff is genuinely welcoming and attentive.
​I was immediately drawn to the Spicy Beef Ramen, and it absolutely blew me away. The broth was rich, complex, and had the perfect kick of heat without being overwhelming, and the beef was incredibly tender. It was a perfectly crafted bowl of pure comfort.
​But what really sets Kyoto Ramen apart is their commitment to freshness—don't skip their drinks! The fresh smoothie was the perfect cool, bright contrast to the deeply savory ramen. It was a brilliant pairing that left me feeling energized and satisfied.
​If you’re looking for expertly made ramen served in a lovely setting by people who clearly care, this is the place. I can't wait to go back!“

“We ordered the cod dinner on 1/29 and it was delicious. However, when we sat down in a booth we noticed an elderly lady struggling to walk up the icy sidewalk from the parking lot. When the young man brought our food we told him about it and suggested someone spread salt on the area. He was nice and thanked us for mentioning it. However, in the 45 minutes we sat there no one followed through and actually salted the sidewalk. Not good, Culvers.“

“My son likes ice-cream. Oreo Blizzard is his personal fav. Strawberry cheese cake is my favorite.“

“Found this gem based on prior reviews. We arrived to a long line and thought about skipping - glad we didn’t. There is nothing fancy here, just great ice cream and a friendly staff. They even swung they the line and offered everyone water while they waited. Nice way to finish our visit to Baskin-Robbins“

“THEY DUMPED WATER ON MY FRIENDS SHORTS BECAUSE THEY CANT AIM“

“I love this Culvers, every timeI I have encountered this establishment all of the staff is so friendly and always smiling.I have never seen anything like this.They are so polite and respectful.The food is amazing and the best place we have in Crete. ,“

“It's a footloose out of 10“

“Excellent location. I am unsure of the names, but owners (I assume?) strive to provide great service. It isn’t easy to please everyone coming to their location. However, they have a great work ethic & always have!!!“

“Omgoodness! I recently had the Germanchokolatekake Got to Have It! It was so delicious with the creamy chocolate ice cream, nutty coconut, crunchy pecans, and the brownie perfectly mixed in! I gotta have it again real soon. ? BTW, the service was great!“

“They always do a nice job, but a suggestion would be to stop handing ice cream out of the window to then have me pull forward and watch it melt while waiting for my food! It drives me crazy“
