50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Utica

“I love this place but make sure your employees are properly trained on how to make a blizzard. Went there last night and my 2 blizzards were not mixed properly. one with mint was mostly a vanilla ice cream with very little mint mixed in the second was a cookie jar and I didn't get to the fudge until I reached the bottle of the cup and the cookie dough and Oreos were only at the top. I will still be back and happy your remodel is now complete.“

“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! 🍦“

“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!“

“Perfect, peaceful cafe. Had both the espresso and cappuccino during different visits. They were brewed at the right temp, which allowed for immediate sipping without burning my mouth.

“We have come here a handful of times and it is such a treat to see happy staff, who keep the lines moving, and even didn’t seem to mind my overly excited, borderline hyperactive kids! 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?🍪“

“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!!“

Kid-friendliness: My son loves this store, they are always very generous when we come in and sometimes he even gets a free cookie while we wait.“

“My wife and I have come here 5 times in the last 2 months and we absolutely love the food and hospitality we get here. They go out of their way make your experience here warm and welcoming. The prices are very fair for the high quality food we are served here. Highly recommend bringing your loved ones here 10/10“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t say enough amazing things about Scoop and Twist! Not only do they serve the best ice cream around, but they also have the biggest hearts for our community. They generously donated ice cream for the Dakota Football team’s annual tailgate, keeping our boys cool on a 90-degree day. We are beyond thankful for their kindness and support—it means so much to all of us! 💙🏈🍦 On top of that, Scoop and Twist is the only place we trust for hard scooped ice cream. As a family with kids who have nut allergies, it’s priceless to know how careful they are. They keep nut and non-nut ice creams completely separate and never use the same scooper. They truly think of everything and everyone, and it shows how much they care. We love supporting this locally owned gem, and we’ll keep coming back again and again. Thank you, Scoop and Twist—you’re the BEST!!!“

“Welcoming and friendly staff! It’s a cute little spot for frozen yogurt. They’ve got the classic flavors like cookies & cream, chocolate, vanilla, cake batter, and strawberry, plus a few fun extras. There’s a good variety of toppings, and they all tasted fresh.

You don’t get to add your own toppings, which is a bit of a bummer since that’s part of the fun of self-serve froyo—but the girl who helped us was super nice.

It came out to $17 for two cups, which is about what I’d expect. Just a heads up: there’s a $5 minimum if you’re using a card.

I’ll definitely be back! ☺️“

“Cookie dough ice cream is amazing but the strawberry is my favorite. Looking forward to another visit!“

“The best Dairy Queen! Great service and the best ice cream ever!❤️“

“The best cookies and cinnamon roll in Metro Detroit. The cinnamon rolls are huge, made fresh and served warm on the weekends. They are always a big hit at my Open Houses! Highly recommend both, and I look forward to trying the ice cream cookie sandwich. it looks amazing, you can customize your sandwich by choosing your choice of cookies and ice cream flavors.“

“The Apple Bar was delicious! So far my favorite sandwiches are the Italian Lunch Wrap and Veggie Bun. The Chocolate Almond Croissant is wonderful as well. I'd like to try some of the other bagel sandwiches. Wish they were open later bc I get out of work after they close. My friend and I loved the ambience. We plan on coming back.“

“Highly recommended 👌 fresh products, great location, there is plenty of parking lot. Comfy and cozy to get a healty menu. Quick service, friendly staff, and online orders. There is a table as of kids' corner with books a s tablets for coloring. This is one of my new favorite places.“

Fresh fruit toppings (even at 9PM), amazing flavor choices (I got a mix of salted caramel & cake batter!!!), great topping selections, and friendly customer service!! The topping selection was very large and included all of our favorites plus a few I haven’t seen before! I did marshmallow on top but they also have 7 other sauces to choose from! Highly highly recommend! Will be coming back very soon (:“

It has been quite the hit in my house and at work. Some of the best baklava I’ve had. Unfortunately though, their website is down so several co-workers were unable to order.“

“This new girl red hair with green eyes is super nice. I’ve been going to this cold stone for a little while and noticed they hired a new girl. She is a really nice employee and she was really sweet. I must go back to tell her I reviewed for her. I hope she gets some type of bonus. Amazing worker! 10/10“
