50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Middleton

“Large portions at a good price and so many flavors to choose from. Richardson’s is a classic and tastes even better when you visit their own store. I really enjoyed the blueberry pie and phantomberry flavors, both had a good amount of mix ins. The based were both delicious and creamy as well. Definitely worth the trip.

Lots of parking and seating inside but definitely gets busy in the summer.“

“Small little place so the only place to eat is outdoors. Fine for the summer, but it's nice to stop and pick up a little ice cream cone for Dilly bar in the colder months. I love the DQ app. This visit was to redeem a free treat from doing their survey from previous visit where I paid only $0.99 at another location for a cone with a coupon.“

“visited the Salem Willows location for the first time the other night, as a person with allergies I was thrilled to be able to enjoy the Vegan cookies and creme with GF Oreos 😍 delicious! And the staff was amazing, TJ answered all my allergy questions with a smile, really helpful, and Olivia gave us gorgeous cups of ice cream that were perfectly scooped, not always the case when you get ice cream on a hot day, so thank you to you both 🥰❤️“

“Stumbled upon this place by accident. Traveling through the area on vacation and happened to stop for sandwiches a few shops down. Had a hankering for something sweet and was pleased that this place was only a few stops down. The amount of flavors truly makes me want to stay and just try them all. Can confirm the almond joy in a sugar cone and the banana in a waffle cone are both delicious. Banana tastes like actual banana and the almond joy did not skimp on the mix ins.“

“Delicious! Our favorite spot.“

“Thank you! I tried your dairy free Black Raspberry Oreo, and it’s a game changer! Finally a dairy free ice cream that has the right consistency and tastes like actual ice cream. I was so excited that I could taste the black raspberry without any hint of almonds/sunbutter/coconut as is always the case at other places. Cal’s Creamery is the best! PS - my husband loved your baklava flavor!“

“I've been going to Meltharb for years and their homemade ice cream is delicious and their list of flavor options is huge. Recently I had to give up dairy and tried their new Almond milk ice cream (made in-store) and it's delicious! so glad I can still enjoy their ice cream.“

“We ordered a cake for Wednesday the 8th. The Portuguese flag 🇵🇹 it looked amazing, thank you so much 😊 we only get all our cakes from Mad Maggie’s delicious 😋“

“I heard about this place a few years back and always find an excuse to travel back no matter how far from me. Everything is delicious here. I got the PB wizard today and a grilled cheese. I could live off either one. Jeff is really nice guy who wants to see the customer enjoy what they’re getting. The proof is in the interactions and well, the scoops!!! Thank you as always!!!“

“Took my daughter for a ice cream to celebrate her first day of school yesterday...I haven't been 30+ years (😳) Oh the nostalgia!!! What a great space with all the fun candy displays and the ice cream bar was just how I remembered! Can't wait to go back! Thank you!!“

“Always have recommended for a normal ice cream day but after today, HIGHLY recommend even more for a catering gig! We did a make your own sundae bar for Teacher Appreciation Week and it was a huge hit(60)! Working with Joe to get everything ordered and organized was a piece of cake! He was so helpful with suggestions and always replying back so quickly. Liz delivered to our school and was so helpful, showing me how to use the warmer and even helping to unpack the ice creams into the freezer. Their sizes and prices are unbeatable compared to some local places around and my kids absolutely love all their flavors and my husband is a big fan of the banana bucket. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new place to try because if you haven't tried here, you have been missing out!“

Ordering is efficient, orders are fulfilled accurately and quickly, and employees resolve any issues quickly and respectfully. Flavors are posted legibly and the variety of flavors is excellent. There is a parking lot, which is nice, and indoor seating and ordering which is helpful in the winter.“

“Just a follow up to my recent review about this DQ concerning delicious and sweet ice cream. We could easily forget the One who made the cows who gave us milk and cream and taste buds to appreciate it. There is no sweeter news than Jesus who was sent by God in his love to die for your sins on the cross. If you believe in him he promises that you would not perish but have eternal life and be with him forever. Please never forget who is so much sweeter than the ice cream. He loves you! John 3:16“
