7 Best Ice Cream Shops in Valparaiso

“Pretty much any of the fresh made ice creams are fabulous, there are so many choices, and they rotate flavors as well. Their renovations look fabulous - collaborating with local artists and designers to rebrand their look and space will make it enjoyable for all the families for many years to come. This staple of our community is such a fun and special place for creating family memories!“

“My daughter and I come here at least once a week, if not twice. It’s a nice little reward. Today we came in for a back to school reward. I witnessed an employee doing an amazing job with a stack of reward punch cards. I mean a STACK! She kept her cool and handled the situation like a dang pro! Everyone that works here is so kind and amazing. The flavors are fun and amazing! We love putting all the different toppings on! (I want to give a shout out to the girl tonight. I don’t wanna misspell her name and I told her I would mention her this way. The girl with the name that starts with X, you are the real MVP! Keep doing what your doing sis!)“

“Crumbl Cookies has quickly become one of my favorite dessert places, and for good reason. The first thing that stands out is the variety. Instead of offering the same flavors year-round, Crumbl rotates its menu every week, which makes every visit feel exciting. There is always something new to try, whether it’s a classic chocolate chip cookie, a rich brownie-inspired flavor, or a creative cookie based on a popular dessert.

The cookies themselves are huge and thick, making them perfect for sharing with friends or family. They are usually soft in the center with a slightly crisp edge, creating a texture that feels fresh and homemade. The toppings and decorations are also impressive. Many cookies are covered with frosting, candy pieces, fruit, or other ingredients that make them look almost too good to eat.

Another thing I enjoy about Crumbl is the presentation. The pink box has become iconic, and opening it feels like unboxing a gift. The cookies are arranged neatly and look exactly like the photos advertised online. The stores are typically clean and modern, and watching employees prepare cookies through the open kitchen adds to the experience.

However, Crumbl is not perfect. One downside is the price. The cookies are more expensive than what you would find at most bakeries or grocery stores. While the large size helps justify the cost, it can still be difficult to spend several dollars on a single cookie. Some flavors can also be extremely sweet, sometimes overpowering the actual cookie flavor. If you do not enjoy rich desserts, certain cookies may feel too sugary.

Despite these drawbacks, Crumbl delivers a fun and unique dessert experience. The constantly changing menu keeps customers interested, the cookies are high quality, and the presentation makes each purchase feel special. While it may not be an everyday treat due to the price and sweetness level, Crumbl is definitely worth trying for anyone who enjoys cookies and wants to experience creative dessert flavors. Overall, I would rate Crumbl Cookies 4.5 out of 5 stars for its variety, quality, and ability to make dessert feel exciting.“

“Nekter has always provided fresh juice, the best smoothies and great customer service & atmosphere. Highly recommend their products!“

“I ordered my sons birthday cake from here. Didn’t even know Dairy Queen made sheet cakes! I was so impressed with the design you guys did for my sons cake! It was everything I thought it could be!!!!! ♥️ We had his party at sk8 world and it went perfect for his day!!!!“

“Very cute place we found on our way to visit family. Would definitely return again. The donuts inside our sundae were really good. Next visit I will order the donuts with a scoop of ice cream instead of the Sundae. Staff were friendly, environment super cute. Place had a little photo op place as well (see pics attached).“

“I had a very good experience with this Baskin-Robbins Dunkin Donuts. I placed an online order for a cake for my daughter's birthday today and put in the wrong date to pick it up.When I got there I had no cake ready to be picked up. They told me to pick out a cake that was premade and they would decorate the top for me. This was a mistake that I made and Baskin Robbins was very understanding about it. I will recommend this one to everyone!! They are the best!!!“
