50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Birmingham

“I am a resident of Birmingham for the past 4 years, the are ice cream parlors on each corner of Woodward. My point is that the product is amazing! The best ice cream! It’s very sad to me that the staff never says thank you…. In my experience.
In business never get too busy to show customers that you appreciate them.“

“Lovely hotel with an excellent atmosphere and vibe. Great location as well. Service at the bar could be improved but overall, a positive experience.“

“Local, mother & daughter owned. The best!“

“We love iFreeze! We took our daughter who has Celiac Disease. They have items marked as gluten free on the menu. She had the S’mores ice cream and loved it. They were very knowledgeable about Celiac and cleaned the machines before use. They keep all GF items separated as well. It’s so important to us to have safe places for our daughter to eat and have dessert. Would recommend iFreeze to anyone!“

“Took my daughter and her friends for a sweet treat here on her birthday and we LOVED everything about it. The dipped ice cream bars were ahhhmazing. We tried 3 different flavors and all were a hit. I personally had the sweet and salty and I still can’t stop thinking about it a day later. Staff were so kind, patient, and friendly. And the place is picture perfect to document your experience. Can’t wait to visit again with my husband and sons who didn’t join us.“

“Best Ice Cream spot in Detroit. Always so friendly and taste great“

“Took a whole group of students there today. One girl alone, but cheerful and helpful and served everyone with a smile. Clean, old-style ice cream parlor. Would definitely recommend!“

“I was blessed by Karen, the owner. I didn't look at the hours. I was just told that I could get superman ice cream there on a cone. When I arrived they were closed. I tapped on the window and explained that I was on my way back to NC and would pay double for my ice cream. Even though they hadn't opened yet, she serviced me and wouldn't allow me to pay her. I tried showing my ID she still would not take my payment. I say God bless you, Karen for making this big kid happy! 🥰🥰“

“Had been a go to place for ice cream over several years. But had been a while since I moved out of Auburn Hills. Grabbed the opportunity to stop by when I had a meeting on that side. Can never go wrong with whatever you pick from the menu. Very helpful staff. Had a guest from out of town and he was amazed by the quality and service.“

The cookies, of course never disappoint! And I have discovered CURBSIDE! They never take too long. Maybe 5% slower on weekends. But what do you expect with a product like cookies?🍪“

“Ritter’s is the stuff that will haunt your thoughts… I have been obsessed with their strawberry shortcake sundae since my first one last year. My husband loves their banana splits. We keep saying we want to try more things on the menu, but when it comes down to it, we love our favorites. I also must say this location has THE most polite and friendly staff. I was very impressed when I stopped in 3/10 for a quick snack.“

“Amazing ice cream!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This place was AMAZING! I was on a bus trip with my son n 48 other people. They took great care of us along with other customers that came in. They took our orders n got them right out. AWESOME team work!! Staff was AWESOME!! They had a system that worked amazingly! Kudos to the staff!!“

“I ordered a chocolate malt with custard paid 7.50 plus tip and got essentially chocolate milk. It wasn't even cold or thick. I took it back, and I asked to just get a twist instead, because it was so bad and they said, no I had to go buy another one. i definitely do not recommend this place.“

“Our PTO has been using Gray’s Suga Shack for a few years now for all our ice cream truck treats for our elementary students. His ice cream selection is amazing, CLEAN beautiful truck. very reasonable prices and pleasant staff. We’ve also rented the inflatables, dunk tank, cotton candy machine, etc! We’ve rented pretty everything he has and he’s always exceeded our expectations. The owner Paul is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet! His wife Misty is great also! Love them both! They care about their business and are very attentive to their customers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!“

“Been going here since I was a kid 💖“

“I want to give a huge shout out to Here's the Scoop Ice Cream for showing up at a moments notice to Edison Elementary in Westland today for their field day when the Kona Ice truck we booked and paid for did not arrive. Here’s the Scoop came within 2 hours of my inital panicked phone call with enough ice cream for all 450+ kids. If you are in need of an ice cream truck in the future, please consider them. They really pulled through today for all our kids and we couldn’t be more grateful. 💙🍦“

“ice cream 🍦 😋 is a must. adding items to your ice cream or shakes!!!“

“The service was quick and easy and the staff were friendly. There isn’t much seating, but it’s appropriate for how little space there is. It’s hard to mess up ice cream in my opinion so everything was good! My mom and sister also enjoyed their ice-cream! Highly recommend this spot!“

The guy running the counter when we normally go is always so friendly and accommodating. Definitely some of the better fast food in the area and you can tell a lot of love goes into the food being made.“

“The building is dated, but the ice cream and donuts are DELICIOUS!!! I went to get the blueberry cheesecake and the strawberry cheesecake. When I got there, I tried the banana pudding ice cream and got that, too. All 3 in one container! Yes, so stop by to get a scoop or two, maybe 3 and donut.“
