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! 🍦“

“The best ice cream place in the area. Super friendly staff. awesome seasonal menu items.“

“If you haven’t been to Modern Cone yet, it’s definitely worth a stop. They have a great selection of flavors and fun options, so there’s always something different to try. The shop is clean, well put together, and has a relaxed atmosphere that makes it an easy place to hang out.

The staff is friendly, quick, and helpful if you need suggestions. Overall it’s just a solid spot to grab dessert, whether you’re going with family or meeting up with friends. We’ll definitely be back.“

“I couldn’t find on your website the ingredient factor of your ice cream. Is there a way of finding out what the ingredients are you can leave it on my cell phone message. It would be a good idea in case people have some allergy issues. Thank you so much for being here.“

“Went to the J&w ice cream and grill fries and drinks straight nostalgia. Got a mega meal with a double cheese burger, fries, a drink, and a sundae with one topping. When I say I felt like I was back in time at my childhood ice cream parlor 20/10 on atmosphere and the food is a 30/10 on quality to price everything was made fresh in front of you. That's not even to mention the patience and care the staff put into treating each customer individually and making sure you have a firm understanding of the menu before placing your order. I truly can't wait to return.“

“We had a group of 20-30 people visit this evening and I was very impressed with the quick and friendly service! Everything was delicious, prices are reasonable, plenty of seating, and games all around to play while enjoying your treats. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Loved playing games and eating our ice cream. 🍦“

“Amazing service and really good grilled chicken! If you've never been here you order at the ice cream place and they announce your order number at the end counter when they are done with your food. Much better than much and dip next door smh!!!“

“When is you car show starting“

“I love getting ice cream here and have been a customer for years! The workers are super fast at getting our orders through the window even with long lines. There are so many menu items to try here, but a classic vanilla or cookies n cream are always tasty.“

“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. The Gelato was great and and was very smooth. The spoons were cute too. Kids and I have returned 2xs after discovery of this place and enjoy the simple, elegant and peaceful vibes the environment provides to end a long day or week. Staff is also extremely friendly.“

“The best ice cream ever! Super delicious and the place is very clean! The owner and his daughter are so friendly!“

“Been going here since I was a kid 💖“

“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!!“

“It's not just another dairy queen, Liz and her family have owned for over 40 years. You will never meet nicer people, have better service, or taste better ice-cream. Those who posted Wally's or cold cow are better than this place.... well, you simply lost your sense of taste from covid and never got it back! its either that or you just plane dumb my family and every family I know will never go anyplace else EVER thank you Liz for your service to the community“

“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?🍪“

“Love this place! The owner is so nice!“

“Love this place! Staff is always very accommodating and always trying to make sure the cookies are fresh. Trying the cookies with my son is always the best and he can't get enough of the oreo or cookies and creme style cookies

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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!!!“

“Amazing experience at The Burger Truck Troy. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Huge shoutout to Murtada he really took care of me and made sure everything was on point. Great service and great vibes. I’ll definitely be back.“

“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! ☺️“

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

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

“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.“

“Detroit Cookie Company responded right away to my inquiry about ordering a cookie cake for a friend even though it was after hours. The cashiers inside the St. Clair Shores location were also very nice and all the cookies looked so delicious I had to get a couple for myself. Very much appreciated and highly recommend!“

“Highly recommend this location! I get something from here 2-3 times a week and always change it up. I love everything i have gotten! I LOVE the bowls and smoothies. I love the fact that I can order ahead and have it ready when I get here… and I love their point system!“

“Amazing teas, amazing staff, overall fantastic. I recommend them to anyone I talk to.“

“Called ahead for an oreo milkshake as I was in a rush. The gentleman had the shake ready when I walked in and was kind enough to treat my kids to small cups of ice cream on the house. The oreo shake was great and the customer service was even better!“

“Very friendly and clean environment lots of ice cream flavors and fresh cones ,wide variety of ice cream cakes, oreo polar pizza is the best and my favorite.“

“Menchie's Frozen yogurt is a great treat. I like that it has no preservatives and no additives. It has a great variety of flavors. I'm so glad I found a good frozen yogurt place. I also love the friendly staff.“

“Best frozen yogurt I’ve ever had!!!🥰❤️🥰“

“Really good atmosphere! Very friendly employees. Soon as i walked in, i could tell it was really clean and put together. Staff greeted me immediately and served me with tasty food! Recommend for sure“

“Most importantly, they go above and beyond for the community! Each time we visit it’s clean, fun and lots of choices for toppings! Thanks Orange Leaf Macomb :)“

“I usually get a medium chocolate ice cream on a cone and that is plenty. Their team works fast and gets through lines so you're not waiting long. If there is no line, your order may be done before you've paid. I'm never satisfied with the sweet treats here.“

“Fist time at bubble cream and our family experience was amazing. Food was amazing and fresh. Everything we ordered was so good. Bubble tea and shakes were honestly the best I’ve ever had. And the staff was so sweet. I can’t say enough great things about bubble cream. Will definitely be back.“

“Staff is young but very pleasant and efficient. They make wonderful ice cream. Some of you are too hard on staff that is learning their place in this world.“

“This Dairy Queen is really great. The two guys who own it are there all the time, and you can tell they take pride in the place. Everything is spotless, the service is really friendly, and the ice cream is always made perfectly. It is also a great location that is easy to get in and out of when you want a quick treat. The weather is starting to warm up so make sure you make it your go to cool down spot this summer!“

“My husband and I came here for the first time tonight and I am so happy we did!!! 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 (:“

“Really good atmosphere! Very friendly employees. Soon as i walked in, i could tell it was really clean and put together. Staff greeted me immediately and served me with tasty food! Recommend for sure“

“Today I went into Culvers on my lunch around 11 am. The food was good and fresh and the bathroom is clean but the entire time I’m eating I hear “The boss” as she refers to herself yelling at one of the workers.. telling this worker that they will be fired and other disciplinary measures .That should be handled in the office not screaming across the floor. Overall the location is clean and the workers are nice. Someone needs to teach “the boss” how to talk to the workers. This is one of the reasons a lot of places face a high turnover rate. Other than that great food and great atmosphere.“

“Food was so yammy so many varieties in buffet. Loved it“

“Menchie's Frozen yogurt is a great treat. I like that it has no preservatives and no additives. It has a great variety of flavors. I'm so glad I found a good frozen yogurt place. I also love the friendly staff.“

“I've been to many Culver's around Michigan and other states and this one was by far the best service. I went inside and the, I assume manager lady, was very sweet and to top it off, the absolute BEST pumpkin mixer I've ever had.“

“This place rocks obviously, I love all ice cream but there’s something about cold stone. It’s my go-to when I need my sweet fix!! Also this location is super clean and friendly staff“
