50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Lawrence

“Very fast friendly nice clean I likes💕“

“I stopped by the Dairy Queen on Franklin Street in Indianapolis to try their hot wings. The portion size was good—enough for a meal or to share. The wings were crispy on the outside, though the inside was slightly less tender than I expected. The sauce had a nice spicy kick, not too overwhelming but flavorful enough to satisfy if you like moderate heat. Pricing is reasonable for fast food.
The location is clean, and the staff were friendly and efficient. Parking can be a little tight during peak hours, so plan accordingly. The seating area could use some updates for comfort, but overall it’s family-friendly and welcoming. If you’re in the area craving wings and a quick Dairy Queen treat, this spot is a solid choice.“

“Visited Fishers location - so glad I did! Non-dairy lemon chill was pleasantly creamy (expected it to be tart like sorbet, but it was mild and delicious!) - and non-dairy caramel was amazing! So nice to have non-dairy flavors with flare! My son had cake batter and crazy cookie - loved them both! Our new go-to for ice cream - thanks, Eiffel Waffle!😎“

“Didn’t even get to the ice cream but oh man I enjoyed my food!“

“This is my absolute favorite ice cream in Indy!“

“My girlfriends and I have known Joe for many years- from when he worked at Buck Creek Winery. He is The BEST! Now that I have finally visited the shop 2 days in a row- I know why everyone raves about Heartland. Last night there was a great crew working! The teens were very personable and friendly. They offered us a sample. Everything tasted sooo good. If you know how great Joe is- you won't be surprised that he has a phenomenal group of employees representing his shop. As for the ice cream...my youngest son LOVED the Superman. I chose Cornbread and Coffee Cookie. Sooooo good! You HAVE to try the Cornbread ice cream! It is the most unique, delicious ice cream ever! I had to get it again today. My oldest son came this time and he sampled Cornbread. He liked it so much- that is what he ordered, too! The Cookies and Cream is also to die for! I love how easy it is to sign up for the rewards program. We also loved how many options we had to choose from on the menu. If I can ever tear myself away from the Cornbread ice cream- I would like to try the Italian Ice. It was great to see you today, Joe! What a wonderful business you are building. I'm sending Nikki in STAT! lol. My boys and I highly recommend Heartland. Looking forward to visiting again soon....“

“We visited as a group of five. The products were good overall (I ordered a white mocha and it was tasty). However, it took a very long time until we received everything, so you should plan extra time if you come as a group.
One star off because the product images on the screens were clearly AI-generated, which was disappointing.“

“They are so much more than ice cream. I saw IU treats on their FB stories. I stopped in and grabbed some IU cookies and cupcakes. At the end of the night all the Moo and Lou cookies were gone and Taylor's bakery ones remained. Taylor's sets the bar high and Moo and Lou is right up there with them! Check out this cute place in Lawrence right on the Fort.“

“Christine made the most incredible Italian Millefoglie dessert for 180 guests at my daughter’s wedding. It was a beautiful attraction set on on its own table at the reception. Guests raved about its freshness and taste. I highly recommend Stacco House if you are searching for something unique as well as delicious. Christine created a masterpiece with her attention to detail, and her professionalism was extraordinary.“

“My friends and I were in Indianapolis for an anime convention. After we ate at an Italian restaurant, we decided to stop by a local ice cream shop to get some ice cream. When we got there, there was a Jamaican themed party going on. Just everyone (staff and the community) having a great time. We got our ice cream and oh my goodness, it is definitely one of THE BEST ice creams I’ve had in a long time. (I had their cookie dough ice cream). The manager or owner (I’m not sure, very nice lady) came up and handed me a coupon for buy one get one free scoop. Her and her staff offered us some Jamaican food to have, but with being so full from dinner and their delicious ice cream, we had to decline. Amazing vibes, amazing ice cream. You’ll definitely see me again when I come back to Indianapolis. Thank you!“

“Amazing! I had the coconut cream pie, and it was hands down the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Sooo creamy and delicious! Pure perfection. The frosted animal cookie one was also really good. Others in the group had the coffee, cookie dough, and cake batter and all said they were fantastic. Not a bad price and worth the wait.“

“Went today and had a wonder mommy meet up for my 2 year olds birthday. The owner Nicole was a put joy and I cannot wait to see them on the regular for our dairy free treats.“

“This is my absolute favorite ice cream in Indy!“

“The owners are wonderful caring people. I have dealt with thousands of companies throughout the United States with my business, and they are by far the most dedicated to customer service I have experienced. Although a little bit of a drive, this location is well worth the service you will receive. We have now moved our business to them and will use them only for all future orders and company orders. We will miss them for a couple of months; they will be closed for winter, but we can always buy a couple of gallons to get us through...LOL If you get a chance and are in the Carmel area, stop by and see what I mean when I say, "Rita's Carmel location is all about CUSTOMER SERVICE done right."“

“Great place! Always stop in when on the monon“

“Great ice cream and customer service!“

“Best black raspberry chocolate chunk ice cream ever“

“I went on a weekday during lunch so there was no wait, I just had to wait for them to make my shake. The place is very cute and inviting and they have a ton of different, fun flavors.

I got the s’mores shake and it was good! I liked the marshmallow on top and the mini marshmallows throughout. My only complaint is that it was a bit too liquidy for my taste, I prefer a thick shake. It also had a slight artificial taste but I wouldn’t have noticed that if I hadn’t read a previous Google review that someone said that theirs was artificial.“

“One dark chocolate a day makes your day!“

“Stopped by with the kids, and my parents and they were closed... sad day, but the owner saw us and let us in. Totally did not expect that but he was super nice. This place is awesome!!“

“Delicious!!! Very tasty ice cream. Great after a meal 😎“

“We love stopping here when in Carmel! Such a cool place with SO MANY FLAVORS!!!“

“delicious desert 🏜and ice cream cheese cakes“

“Thank you for your fantastic Grand Opening at McCord Square, we loved the meet and greats with Colts players and awesome ice treats.“

“Tonight was my first time ever here and it is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ice cream place now!!!!!“

“The lady who got our ice cream was so friendly and nice! Ice cream-how can it go wrong?“

“Stopped here out of the blue since I had to run an errand out this way. I got the $7 chili cheese dog and it was AMAZING! It's been a long time since I've had a chili dog, the bun was warm and soft, it was hot, came with chips, a drink and a sundae too. Highly recommend.“

“WOW! Quality quality quality! Situated in a neat retail/residential complex at intersection of Rangeline and 116th, this is a breath of fresh air with pure whip cream, creamy dreamy ice cream and AMAZING chocolate chip cookies- see Banana Split and cookie (minus a bite 😁🤭) below. The owner Erin is a very gracious, hospitable host. Go here now and walk it off tomorrow!“

“This is my go to when I am have a sweet tooth… anytime I order online or stop into the store I am never disappointed. Friendly and fast.
Last but not least my favorite store is always tidy.
So happy with Crumble Cookie!!!“

“Cute ice cream shop connected to the tea shop. They have good hours and the ice cream parlor is clean and cute. Costumer service was excellent and they even figured out how to do something they haven't done before for the gentleman in front of me. My ice cream was fine and as of now they have limited flavors. However they do have some Lemonade and tea that I'll probably try in the future.“

“Devil cookies! They are sinfully good! My daughter came home with the biscoff pie, and I ate most of it and then shot back up there the next day and about 4 of them! I love the themed cookies, but the banana bread coookie was not it! It was still like bread. Crumbl needs more centralized locations.“

“Clean restaurant and friendly people! Esquite so good and hot. I will be back😉“

“Friendly service as always! Love all the flavor options!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Melt N’ Dip. The customer service is truly exceptional staff members are always polite, helpful, and welcoming. The gelato flavors are amazing, with a great variety and high quality taste in every scoop. It’s my go to spot whenever I have a sweet tooth craving. Overall, Melt N’ Dip consistently provides a delightful experience with excellent service and delicious desserts. Highly recommended!“

“Truck drivers: best to go down the next street, N Catherwood, it will circle around to Webster so you won't have to blind side. Street is narrow but driveway is wide enough so shouldn't be a problem. 15 minutes to unload, Quick in and out.“

“I had never tried Rolled Ice Cream before. What a fun experience. My son had tried it before and talked me into stopping by while we were in Castleton Mall.

The ice cream was yummy and it was fun watching it being made. They have lots of options and the person who served us was friendly and upbeat.

I am sure we will stop by again sometime.“

“Great ice cream! Large menu friendly service.“

“Visit the newly opened Tsaocaa in 82nd street/Castleton and enjoy the refreshing milk tea plus great customer service. Taro bubble milk tea is my favorite. FYI: Bubble tea is a Taiwanese tea-based drink invented in Tainan and Taichung in the 1980s. Recipes contain tea of some kind, flavors of milk, as well as sugar. Toppings, such as chewy tapioca balls, popping boba, fruit jelly, grass jelly, agar jelly, and puddings are often added.“

“the best icecream 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

“This is our goto spot for ice cream cravings... I don't know what else to say? They are superior to all other shops... go and try it, tell me I'm wrong, I'll wait! :)“

“Sundaes Homemade Ice Cream is Indy's best ice cream hands down and I am so happy that we carry their ice cream on our food truck, Moo & Lou Frozen Treats! We love taking Sundaes to places that have never tried it. So many happy people!! <3 <3 <3“

“I visited this store when they just opened because it is close to my house, but I had a bad experience with the food so I stopped going, today I gave it another chance and they have improved in terms of the food, everything was delicious.
The serving staff seems annoyed, I guess it's because of the time I went. I hope it's not like this all the time.“

“The kids got two large-ish ice cream cups with one mix-in and while it was a delicious treat, I was surprised that it came to $15 for just two. Okay, maybe for the size of cups it was worth it . They love picking the mix-in! The service was fast and professional. There are two small dining tables inside if you want to stay and eat.“

“We love the options, flavor and experience! 🍦“

“Absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend to anyone that likes sushi/poke!“

“Very yummy ice cream and treats! The kids size scoop is perfect for my 3yr old and my 6yr old son loves the cone dipped in chocolate and sprinkles. Their treats are as good as they look! Tried the peach smoothie and it was also delicious. 😊“

“The best place to get ice cream in town!! I really enjoy the time i was there due to the great staff, especially Kam, the way he made my ice cream was so professional and beautiful. I could not have been more satisfied with my service and all at a reasonable price!!!“

“We are from out of town but dairy Queen is always our go to for ice cream. They were busy but the 1 and only guy working there was amazing. He got our order right even though he had to write it down and couldn't make it till we got to the window. He had several cars in front of us and behind us but got everything correct. I hope the owners of this establishment pay him more than minimum wage and he gets a bonus because I would have quit and walked out if I had to do all that by myself.
5 stars and above for the guy working, 4 stars because the owners need to hire more people and clearly don't care about their employees.“

“Frosty boy has such a great vibe, right back to simpler times. The cheeseburger with everything was delicious and cooked perfectly, the strawberry sundae - perfect! Just the right amount of ice cream, sauce, and whipped cream! It was my first visit, but definitely won't be my last!“
