47 Best Ice Cream Shops near Salem

“Have always loved Holy Cow since I was a little girl.....the best icecream“

“Incredibly-delicious family-owned for more than a century homemade ice cream made on a machine that is over 100 years old! They also have an antique popcorn machine. Would drive for hours to come here. It’s the last one at the end of the strip so don’t get confused. 11 am to 8:30 pm but they’re often open later so try anyway if you’re late. So worth it!“

“Love this shop. It's a fun mix of desserts and unique artwork. Lots of items from local makers or artists, and then also an easy place right downtown Salem to grab an ice tea or cookie. Also run by awesome humans.“

“So apparently this place has been in business for over 1000 years /s. But after trying it, I think it will be around for at least 1000 more. Me and my wife have made this a weekly staple (the LARGE bag) of popcorn is the only one that will do! Just call ahead first as the hours are sometimes different than what’s posted online.“

“We love Sweet Java! Everything is absolutely delicious and made with love! It has a wonderful atmosphere. The Grecian Acai bowls are to die for!!! Yum! ❤️“

“No refunds if hair is found in ice cream, which somehow happens more than you think.“

“Taro milk tea with black boba!!! Awesome flavor and even better costumer service! My new go to place for boba tea!!“

“Had the totally turtle on a home made waffle cone. Very very good and a good price too!! Awesome ice cream“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming to Richardson’s ever since I moved near here. Never once have I left feeling unsatisfied due to the sheer excellence of their work. The staff are so polite, ordering is easy, and best of all, the ice cream is absolutely delicious. It’s the perfect place to come on a hot summer’s day to walk around the farm, enjoying a tasty cone. I’ve tried multiple flavors and they are all spectacular. This has been my favorite ice cream shop for years and will continue to be. Get a treat here, you won’t be disappointed whatsoever!“

“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 🥰❤️“

“Everything is yummy! Best slush ever! The espresso gelato is my flavor of the week. Friendly staff.“

“Delicious! Our favorite spot.“

“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!!“

“Headed on my way home after a suffering round of golf. Saw the line a mile long so I banged a quick u-uey and waited in line. Boyo that wait was worth it. The staff was friendly and helpful. I tried the Willy wonka experience and it was so good I wouldn’t even share it with Sydney Sweeney. Ended up catching a word with the owner and he told me he gets everything local and uses only the freshest ingredient's. He told me his favorite is Hog Island and Tree Sap which I will try when I go back. Overall 5 Big BOOMS and would recommend to everyone.“

“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“

“I recommend shopping at Frio Rico grocery store for Peruvian.
The store you can find many authentic peruvian snacks, cooking ingredients, etc. Such as seasoning, pastries, baked goods, tea, meat, ice cream. Also, they bring and do what you ask for any occasion you need. For example they bring paneton for Christmas in dozen, also they make dessert for parties such as empanadas, pastries, flan, alfajor, etc. You can go with your family or friends and sit outside to enjoy sweet. It's a great place to enjoy dessert together and try something new. For these reasons, Frio Rico is an excellent place to enjoy authentic Peruvian food and dessert. If you want to experience the flavor of Peru, I recommend visiting this store.“

“This is a great find. Stopped by today to get a cold brew and a bagel sandwich. Service was excellent. Bagel sandwich was made with fresh eggs and was bigger than I anticipated…very good. Cold brew was well balanced and on point. Well worth the visit and will be returning.“

“Booked for a birthday party, and it was wonderful! Steve is so kind, and communicative. He was punctual, has a ton of great options, and very reasonable pricing! Thank you so much for making our party such a fun event!“
