Ice Cream Shops near Birmingham

“this place is AMAZING! me and my boyfriend come as much as we can.
the icecream is rich, creamy and full flavored.
they're family owned, they're open when the branded competitor isn't. 😏
acknowledge us promptly, and are super attentive, and by the time we order, it's up in the window.
i love the QT. my guy enjoys a oreo milkshake.
it's worth a drive from Pontiac To BHam EVERY. TIME.
thank you to all of the employees of this establishment for keeping things real, consistent and genuine. great treats, even better service.“

“We ate a late lunch today and weren’t wanting dinner really. So we decided to go out for dessert instead. We tried Shock Gelato for the first time and it didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere was very nice. I held the door for a group of lady customers as I was entering and they were exiting. I heard them say, “I love this place.” A group of young people that came in behind me shortly after were speaking amongst themselves while we were waiting to be served. They were also taking about how much they love this place and how they were here at the Grand Opening or first day open. I knew I had made a good choice.

Kenny and Olivia were the servers and they did an excellent job taking care of the guests. The place was busier than I imagined a frozen dessert style restaurant would be on a late Sunday evening. Regardless everyone was served swiftly but with attention to detail. We had a group of seven and at least three groups of 5 or more came in behind us. I didn’t see one customer that was dissatisfied whatsoever.

There are so many flavors in the showcase. I wanted to try them all!!! I understand that they rotate the flavors too so perhaps next time will be a totally different experience. I can’t wait to come back and try some more. They do allow you to sample multiple flavors. I tried 3-4 before just placing my order. I don’t think that it’s possible to pick a bad flavor. I ordered the largest size so that I could get three flavors. All three were splendid. I’m already excited for my next visit.“

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

“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.“

“We love Gilly’s!!! Gilly’s is a local gem! Their ice cream is top-notch — don’t miss the ice cream nachos — and they’re a business that genuinely gives back to the community. There’s no sweeter way to shop local! 🍦“

“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! 🥰🥰“

“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!“

“Salpid caramel pretzel ice cream is absolutely delicious. I stopped in yesterday to drop things off for the christmas crates. for the veterans. so of course, I had to take ice cream home with me.“

“Love the creativity and especially the variety in nondairy ice creams. All the delight without any of the devastation of consuming normal ice creams 😉“
