23 Best Ice Cream Shops near Niles

“We came in for the opening day 2026! They have added so many great things! I tried the Vanilla soft serve ice cream! It was so freaking good! It reminded me of DQ. But I was able to pick my own sundae toppings! Thank you so much for the addition! This is my new favorite!“

“We were in the area since my son’s baseball practice is out that way so we stopped for an ice cream.
The girl that was working was so sweet. I was trying to explain to the gentleman I wanted a cone with chocolate ice cream but I also wanted like one little dabble of mint chocolate chip on the top just to taste and he unfortunately wasn’t understanding what I meant as far as thinking I wanted two whole scoops of ice cream on top of my little cone, so the girl kindly jumped in and knew exactly what I was meaning lol and got us on our way!
It was clean in the lobby. And the bathrooms were nice and tidy as well so that was refreshing.“

“Three of us had lunch at El Munchiloco today. We all at tortas. Two of us had a torta with carnitas. The third person had a torta with sausage. All three of them were excellent. The gal that waited on us was very nice. She was great at explaining the sandwiches. BTW the ice cream was good too.“

“This restaurant is in a location which has been a gathering spot in Buchanan since 1947. Much of the original décor has been maintained but some parts of the interior have been modernized to satisfy current foods. The owners and staff are pleasant, aim to please and work hard. It is worth a stop for the ice cream at the soda fountain, if nothing else.“

“Love this place! This quaint little shop is absolutely perfect! We had an adult date here and had coffee together. We had ice cream for breakfast! We also had breakfast burritos, mine with bacon his with sausage. And my sugar-free caramel macchiato was spot on and he really loved his butter pecan latte. But definitely try the Affogato! It is the best creamiest smoothest ice cream you’ve ever had with a shot of delicious rich flavorful espresso over it. Plus the place is absolutely adorable! Great prices too! The staff was friendly and helpful and fast. All around this is a great place and I highly recommend it!“

“Omg the ice cream is so delicious and they have such a variety of flavors and the nachos hit the spot the place is so clean Which is a number one priority for me and my family. I recommend it for everyone all ages will enjoy. Been at both locations same quality in service at both. 5 stars FOR-SURE“

“Kid-friendliness: i brought 4 kids with me to try their frozen yogurt, and eventhough the kids were overwhelmed by the variety of flavors and toppings and took some time
choosing what they wanted, the staff has been nothing but very patient with them.“

“I live near Denver but my 93 year old, cookie loving grandma lives in South Bend. I ordered Insomnia cookies for delivery as a pick me up for her after a stressful stay in the hospital and she loved them! For a woman who is struggling to eat, she finished 1.5 cookies! The delivery was right on time, the cookies were fresh and the delivery person was very nice! Thank you for making my grandma's day!“
