5 Best Ice Cream Shops in Hays

“Cold Stone Creamery is owned by two of the most generous individuals you could ever meet. They consistently support our community by sponsoring local events, donating gift cards to fundraisers, and giving back in countless meaningful ways. In addition to their business, they also operate a nonprofit and frequently host event nights in their space at no cost. Instead of charging admission, they simply invite guests to donate whatever they feel comfortable giving.

Their kindness and generosity truly deserve the highest respect. They have also built a wonderful team at Cold Stone—efficient, welcoming, and respectful to everyone who walks through the door.

Kudos to them for bringing this establishment to our community and helping strengthen it. Their efforts contribute to a place where our youth can grow up proud to call home and return to raise their own families.“

“Drive thru order. Came at night (dark out), and the outside lights were not on, making it look like they were closed. We mentioned it when we got to the window and was blown off as if we were bothering them. We got our order and asked another question, and when answering, the girl (short blonde hair) acted like we were the last people on earth that she wanted to talk to. Our order was correct, and it was tasty, but the service needs some help.“

“This little diner seems to be one of the hot spots in town. While a bit further of a drive from I-70 then other options, it is worth it and honestly only a few minutes more. Pulling up you get an old diner drive-in feel and you can dine-in or drive-thru. We were given a warm welcome and the staff was eager to answer any questions, plus give suggestions. You can tell that the left window is the main spot to order at the counter....then find your seat on red and metal chairs or red booths. On the brown tabletops you will find ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. It was super nice to have coloring books and crayons to help keep the littles entertained, with one of the staff making sure to point such out to us. The Mozzarella sticks were some of the best I have had in sometime, the burger patties - I believe - were hand-shaped, and the bacon for the BLT was nice and crispy. I so liked that the buns was toasted, but I would have preferred more tomatoes. The shakes were tasty, but two people would probably be fine sharing one....if they can agree on the flavor. This is one of those places we will remember for future passes through Hays.“
