13 Best Ice Cream Shops in Lawrence

“Awesome ice cream. I tried the carrot cake and it was amazing!“

“HOORAY FOR ICE CREAM! Baskin-Robbins has been a favorite of one for decades (literally). My favorite flavor is Daiquiri Ice and it used to be available only during the summer months. NOT ANY MORE! YAY! it's year round! As I'm driving all over Larryville doing errands I think why not pop by and get some? It's on the way home (Kinda, sorta. Ok! Not at all but who cares?) 🤣 I get there and walk in. Folks, it's so clean! And bright and airy! Love it! I look at all the flavors and spot my fave and that's when I'm told it's year round now instead of summer only! The clerk is super friendly and so helpful! I spot a coffee & oreo cookie flavor for hubby! Excellent! I request 2 small tubs for take away. The clerk explains to me that the small tubs are 8.00+ for 4 scoops and the next size up is 11.00+ for almost double. I bet he's a marketing major because I absolutely go with that. As he's bagging them for me I spot another fave-black walnut! YES! I ask for and get a small cup (it's protein because of the walnuts) and I eat it in my car (not driving). It's extremely creamy and the maple taste is perfect with the crunchy walnuts. YUMMY! I hurry up eating it as I don't want my oversized tubs melting and well, because it's that good and I don't want to share with hubby nor tell him I had extra. I also ditch the evidence. This wonderful place on 23rd is a slice of Heaven. Try the Daiquiri Ice!!!!“

“The staff is always friendly and helpful. I went on a journey to find my favorite ginger beer and got great advice from the employees. Now I get a sixer of my favorite every Saturday. Our kids love the wacky flavored sodas and candy as well.“

“Tads snow cones is better than any other snow cone joint out there. Quality is awesome and I have never had any bad experiences. I think they would benefit from having the benches cleaned because there's always a sticky spot. I think it's all a part of the experience. 10/10“

“I always have amazing service at Culver’s. The employees are so kind & helpful. I have had a couple mistakes on my orders but other than the restaurant is AMAZING. They have a lot of comfort foods that I enjoy. The food temperature is amazing. Great portions of the food.“

“Amazing coffee and the girls that work there are so friendly and helpful ! Get one in Iowa !“

“Friendly service, good pizza, yummy gelato 👌🏼 kids got free gelato with their meals and I got a small because the price is pretty cheap for it 😁“

“I took my girlfriend here for some ice cream as we walked around downtown. Service was prompt and friendly! The building is a little bit cramped, but what can you do when the buildings downtown are just like that. My girlfriend enjoyed her ice cream a lot, so that a win from me!“

“We tried the Larryville Hand Pies today, apple for my husband and peach for me. I am 61 years old and this is THE BEST PIE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Not too sweet, fresh peaches with wonderful flavor, spiced up with just the right amount of nutmeg. And the crust is out of this world, flaky, crispy and tender. The pies are ENORMOUS too, I think two people could split one. I will definitely be back!“

“Sonics food is great, Service is always friendly sometimes you have to wait a few minutes but that's later at night and that's due to under staffing, same problem at all fast food places.
They have Very Delicious Burgers and Fries. The Prices are reasonable.
I always enjoy the food when we go or dessert, they have a really nice dessert menu!!“

“We had a very nice experience here. We stopped for a meal after driving for several hours. Kari treated us so well. She helped us with our menu selection, promptly made our treats, and even brought our meals outside to our table. She was so sweet and kind. Yes, the food was all delicious, but it was Kari who really made the experience great!“

“Dear Sonic, I’ve come to the realization that the only reason you have 50¢ corn dog days is so you can train the new cooks or possibly you open your doors to Helen Keller school for the blind students to learn how to cook. The only thing that resembles a corn dog on this blackened charred wiener is the stick.“

“WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE BIG SONIC BUGERS THEY WERE ALWAYS BIG!!!!! WHEN I RECEIVED MY ORDER AND I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I HAD EVERTHING I ORDER I SEEN HOW SMALL THE BUGER WAS AND COULDN'T BELIEVE IT,BUT I STILL LIKED THE DELICIOUSLY 😋 STRAWBERRY 🍓 SHAKES AND THERE WONDERFULLY 😋 ONION 🌰 RINGS THEY GO HAND IN HAND THANKS SONIC BUT NAKE THE ANTIQUE HAMBUGERS LIKE YOU USED TO 😋“
