13 Best Ice Cream Shops near Independence

“We LOVE Gramingo’s! My daughters beg to stop there for rolled ice cream. I especially love all the choices of delicious homemade fudge. Last time we stopped in I got a connoli and buckeyes and they were both great. They have a really good selection of nostalgic candy you won’t find anywhere else too. Highly recommend stopping in. This place is a great asset to our little town.“

“Adorable lil place, it's super tiny! But, you can walk through a doorway in the wall and sit in the adjoining restaurant! Their sundae type dishes are delicious, but my milkshake was water down tasting and not great. Would definitely come here again for a sundae with fun toppings! Their variety is fantastic! The service was fast and the workers were friendly.“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place, the gelato they serve, or the incredible people who work there. True story, they have a specific flavor I absolutely love (sunflower). I ask for it all the time. Well, I hadn’t been in for a few weeks and they had made it. Fortunately they saved me a large cup of it, and gave it to my daughter to give to me. That was so nice and thoughtful, THANK YOU so much.“

“This is my favorite Dairy Queen location! On summer nights there is usually a line at the drive through, but it moves at a decent pace. Everyone that works there has always been very friendly. The best part about this location is they give a generous amount of toppings in their Blizzards. The summer special, peanut butter puppy chow, was my absolute favorite this summer.“

“The store was colorful bright and clean. I could see the workers peeling the fresh mangos as I was waiting for my order. I ordered the Mangonada and my daughter ordered the Fruit and Honey snd we split the Tosti Corn. All were delicious. We drove 25 miles to get there and will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely love Graeter's ice cream. Every flavor is my favorite !! If you haven't stopped in, I highly suggest you do. They will not disappoint. Great desert candy donuts, etc. ... And last but not least the service is outstanding.“

“This was the perfect spot to grab a tasty treat after dinner. My friends and I arrived around 9:30 and they were still pretty busy. The 2 people taking orders were helpful and pleasant. Even suggesting what their favorites were. All 3 people in my group got the same thing. A kinder sized vanilla cone dipped in a cherry shell. It hit the spot and was the perfect amount of ice cream to satisfy a craving. They have a great outdoor space with plenty of seating to hang out and enjoy the night and people watch in Mainstrasse village. Will be coming back soon to try more flavors.“

“I love ice cream and this is some of the best. It’s rich creamy and not too sweet. Like that the ingredients are straight forward and not complicated with stuff aka artificial ingredients that are on junk food labels. Highly recommend their blackberry chocolate, cherry chocolate chip, black raspberry chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip and anything with coconut and sometimes cookie dough. I may have a dairy sensitivity, it’s hard to pass up amazing ice cream made right. Look forward to more of your ice cream on my next visit ?“

He is fun to talk with and isa great role model for the other employees. Keep up the fantastic work!!“
