32 Best Ice Cream Shops near Saint John

“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.. .“

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

“A childhood memory in Chicago! I brought my husband to experience Gayetys. The charm when we walked in and then the SMELL OF YUMMY CHOCOLATE was a Zen moment!!! We toured the counters then dived into purchases! We had no time for ice cream but we will be back. We did have a piece of chocolate each at home ohhhhh yum. I had the taffy apple for dessert it was like no other. This is a must to visit.“

“My first time here and will not be my last. Me and my daughter LOVED it.“

“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.“

“The food is all excellent . I only have a few more items on the menu to try . Staff are friendly and efficient.“

“My absolute favorite place for ice cream! Great customer service and everyone is always so friendly and welcoming!“

“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!!!“

“I was going there for a couple years on the first opened when I was a school bus driver. then after I left the school bus company and we moved out to part forest it wasn't close for me anymore. I tried one in Chicago heights. it was not nearly as good as this one's ice cream. it's fantastic friendly people. I loved it. I missed it. I went back today and it was still great. I always got pistachio and the chocolate abuelita together. great taste! great place“

“This place is SO CUTE! Our ice cream was tasty and the service was great 😊“

“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“

“Great service- amazing sundae!“

“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 a great little ice cream shop that’s been around for years — a real neighborhood gem. I would’ve given it five stars, but the cashier seemed to be having a serious “grumpy pants” kind of day.

That said, the ice cream was solid, and I’d definitely go back. Just a little tip for next time: smile a bit, Miss Grumpy Pants — it’s ice cream, not jury duty!“

“I really love Dairy Bell, so I hate to leave this review, but my visit today was a little disappointing. I ordered a hot fudge brownie delight and didn’t realize it came with nuts. When I mentioned it at the window, I wasn’t expecting a free replacement—just some kind of option or explanation. Instead, I was offered nothing, which felt dismissive and rude.“

“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.“

“Quick & kind service, great tasting boba & poke bowl. I’d recommend half sugar unless you like a really sugary drink! And plenty of tapioca boba—you don’t have to ask for extra like some other places!“

“There ain't no DQ like the Hessville DQ!!!!!!!!!!!“

“great friendly staff. we enjoyed ourselves at the PJ party today. also the variety of music the DJ played. thank you.“

“I grew up in Highland with Sweet Tooth right down the street. Summers were full of bike rides with the boys to get some ice cream and a Jones Soda. Today I found out they reopened in Munster, and was able to take a stroll down memory lane. Such a fantastic, caring local business, and I will definitely be returning!“

“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!“

“My family of seven visited this establishment today and witnessed your evening manager handling a loud obnoxious and rude older couple absolutely berating the girls. She was kind and professional and kept herself well-mannered and spoken the entire time.“

“Dairy Queen is a classic go-to spot for anyone craving a sweet treat or a quick bite. Their signature Blizzard treats are consistently delicious, with a wide range of mix-in options that keep things interesting. Whether you’re into rich chocolatey combinations or fruity flavors, there’s something for everyone. The soft-serve ice cream is always creamy and satisfying, and the dipped cones are a nostalgic favorite. Service is usually fast and friendly, making it a convenient stop on a hot day or after dinner.

Beyond desserts, Dairy Queen also offers a full menu of burgers, chicken baskets, and fries that hit the spot when you’re looking for a casual meal. While it’s not gourmet dining, the prices are fair, portions are generous, and everything comes out hot and fresh. All in all, Dairy Queen continues to be a reliable neighborhood favorite that blends comfort food with iconic frozen treats.“

“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.“

“My thing when I lived down the street was the Milk was the only milk I would drink. only if I could get it shipped to San Diego.“

“Amanda, the Director of Operations, was so friendly and efficient. She was easy to work with to plan our corporate ice cream party. The driver who came was also very nice and the ice cream was delicious! Will definitely use Ice Cream on Wheels again!“

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

“This is my second day in a row and let me tell you! The ice cream and treats are great!! I will always support family businesses because I too work at one!! Will be back I stay only few blocks away!! Great job and I don’t mind the wait!! Also y’all please tip if you can!! ❤️I always try to leave a few dollars! Great service“

“I live 5 minutes away and this location never fails at being amazing. They're always quick, friendly, and by far make the best blizzards. A lot of other locations I have been too over the years have given runny blizzards or don't stir the items and half the blizzard is just ice cream. This is my favorite location and I appreciate everything about this location.“

“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“

“My girlfriend, Grace Hauser is going to buy her tenth Baskin Robbins store in El Paso, TX. Great ice cream!“
