43 Best Ice Cream Shops near Ballwin

“We celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary by having a unique dessert. We had never been here before and were pleasantly surprised. The staff was kind and welcoming. The chimney cakes we ordered were delicious. Definitely a must for anyone wanting something different with an inviting atmosphere.“

“We visited this store on Sunday afternoon, 3/8 around 3 p.m. . It got very busy while we were there. Ice Cream Sundays, delicious as always. The poor guy working everything was apparently the only employee and was doing a great job. I feel that you should have had as least one other person there with him....and if there was someone in the back the whole time we were there, they did not help at all. This poor guy worked the never ending line, helped Uber drivers with their orders and delivered orders to tables. This guy deserved something extra that day or at least a pat on the back.“

“Even in the middle of winter, Silky’s Frozen Custard in Ellisville is absolutely worth the stop. Their turtle sundae is one of the best around, with rich, creamy custard topped with warm caramel, hot fudge, and perfectly toasted pecans. It’s the kind of treat that makes you forget the cold as soon as you take a bite. The staff is always so friendly, and every visit feels welcoming and quick no matter how chilly it is outside. If you haven’t been to Silky’s in a while, or you’re debating going because it’s winter, go anyway. It’s worth it every time.“

“This place is the best! Fantastic custard, wonderful service and even better location. My boys enjoying their custard while watching for trains.“

““The Fro-Yo Kingdom Where My Spoon Became a Sword”

If you ever wander into Menchie’s in Fenton expecting an ordinary yogurt stop… prepare for a flavor adventure. The self-serve bar looks like Willy Wonka’s frozen dessert lab, with enough topping choices to make your inner five-year-old squeal. Reviewers say the variety is a major draw. 
• Vegan or avoiding dairy? They’ve got you covered. One fan mentioned at least two vegan options (“pomegranate” and “pineapple” sorbet flavors) that don’t make you feel like you’re being punished for your dietary choices. 
• Friendly and clean enough—they’re keeping the machines running and smiles on deck. 
• The self-serve model means you’re the master of your dessert destiny—go wild piling on fruits, sauces, sprinkles (or all three). Just remember: your cup’s weight is your bill’s weight. One wise vegan reviewer gave this tip:
“be careful with the toppings b/c it’s priced by weight so it can get pricey quickly!” 

My highlight reel:
• Walked in hungry, walked out triumphant (and sticky around the edges because I might have overloaded the peanut-butter sauce).
• Felt like royalty perched on a bench with a bowl full of colors and textures.
• Staff were nice, machines were cold, options were endless.
• Bonus: for kids (and kid-hearts): chaos is welcomed, laughing encouraged, topping globs accepted.

So here’s the verdict:
If you’re in Fenton and in the mood for fro-yo that doesn’t just fill a sweet craving but owns it, this is your spot. Go bold. Load up. Taste test everything. Bring a friend to argue over who gets the last gummy bear topping. I’ll be back (and yes, I’ll likely tilt the flavor meter toward “ridiculous”).“

“Fun ride on a hot day because it spins quickly and the speed of the turns is awesome. Whoever sits on the right of the car gets squished, so grownups should sit on the outside when they are with kids. Everytime my sister and I have ridden this it had been fun.“

“This is one of the better food spots at Six Flags, both in terms of quality and bang for the buck. The ice cream isn't cheap, but the prices aren't too bad by Six Flags standards, and the waffle cones are decent quality. And really, on a hot day after traipsing around the park for hours who's going to be too picky anyway? The shop itself has an old-timey look to it, which is fun.“

“The snow monster is my favorite. Love it. But the s’mores jackhammer was delicious.“

“I am visiting the city and decided to grab some food and ice cream. I am glad that I did The manager and Ja’mya were great to talk to as I waited for my food. I would definitely suggest this location the next time you’re in St. Louis. Good food and excellent customer service.“

“We were happy because they had all the fresh toppings we wanted…including his banana 🍌! The other location had none! We walked in and loved how clean it was…..I was able to get my kiwi, strawberry mangos and Boba with gummy worms that I always love putting on top of my froyo! We really enjoyed it….yummy ❤️Made a perfect date….#2chewzchicks approved“

“Took another trip to Crumbl yesterday to celebrate my friend's birthday. The cookies are excellent, and we always try new recipes whenever we stop in. The Gingerbread cookie, OMG, it was delicious and the lineup for Christmas has been awesome. Thanks Crumbl, keep doing your thing!!!!!!“

“If you like variety and don't mind that the cookie flavor changes this is the place for you. It doesn't matter what kind of cookie they have, they never disappoint. A must stop if you are around one. If you have never been you are missing out. Stop in today.“

“DELICIOUSNESS!!! SnowMonster is one of my favorites!“

“Thoroughly impressed with the teamwork going on at Culver’s in Eureka, Illinois. We dropped in with 20 guests and served quick with many smiles. Manager has and is running a good crew. Bravo. Thanks again!“

“Can't ever go wrong with cold stone quality Ice cream and cakes. BUT! I have been to cold stones across the US, including Hawaii, and lots of cold stones are losing their zest to sing all the fun songs. Which is OK. But its such a treasure finding a cold stone that still has the SPIRIT! To add, my kids and I were on a birthday trip away from home and my son wanted a cold stone cake. So we purchased one in store and intended to eat it there. And the whole of cold stone staff enthusiastically helped me sing happy birthday to my kiddo. It was memorable and so fun. Everyone who worked the evening of july 7th deserves a raise 🤣🙏❤️ or at least kudos ans recognition 🥰🎉🎉🎉“

“Young's is the place to get Fried Chicken!! Always fresh and perfectly seasoned, not greasy and with a lite crispy coating. All of their food is cooked to order and delicious. If you have not been there, you are missing out on a great experience!!!!“

“Culver's is a really great place and the food there is really great and very delicious. They also have nice desserts there you should try.“

“I had the most kind and friendly service at this location with an employee named Joseph. He is such a hardworker and always wears a smile on his face. Because of him, ill definitely be back! The food was phenomenal as well“

“Great food & very clean establishment!“

“I have gone to this location many times and it’s always good, but every time Emily is helping me out it’s amazing! She is so bubbly and kind And makes going to that location a Joy! She better be making good money and if not give that girl a raise!!!!“

“Ordered a Concrete in the drive thru, was given a melted cup of creme. It's only 61° out guys how runny is it gonna be when it hits 80°? 2nd time I foolishly went back was told "the custard was not ready" How does a Culver's this poorly run stay afloat?“

“Food was delicious and service was great. I wasn't always impressed with this location, but they have improved so much in the last year.“

“Thank you so much for hosting such an awesome fundraiser for our school!!! We look forward to lots more events and opportunities to to work together! -Kara Corson PTO President of Pattonville Heights Middle School“

“Customer service was top notch!“

“Freddy's is our go-to now that Steak and Shake has imploded. I am a veteran so I was really impressed with their veterans day free meal card. I was able to take advantage of the veterans day options and come back to Freddy's later. Burgers are outstanding and I really love the shoestring fries. I didn't have the custard but there was a group of kids that did and they seemed to enjoy it.“

“Love this DQ! Just recently we went and our truck died in the drive thru, they sent out two guys to help us push our truck out of the way and then also gave us a 10% “bad day” discount and all were happy to help. It just shows that they care for their customers and made what could have been an awkward and bad experience a great one. Thanks again!“

“So, I ordered some cheese fries and a burger from this spot, went out to my truck, and discovered they had forgotten to put my burger in the bag. This was pretty frustrating, so there was only one thing I could do.
I stormed back in the store, interrupting a lobby full of customers and said HEY!! WHICH ONE OF YOU FORGOT MY BURGER? WHICH ONE OF YOU SLIDER SLINGERS IS GONNA HAVE TO COME OUTSIDE AND FIGHT ME FOR OWNERSHIP OF THIS RESTAURANT!?!
I then held a tournament outside where the employees and customers had to battle one another until, finally, one of them stood victorious above all others. They then would have gotten to battle me for full dominance of the Freddie's, but then the cops showed up and we all had to scurry.
Nah, that's not really what happened. I just brought the forgotten burger to their attention courteously and they apologized and gave me my missing burger. Honest mistakes, both the burger and this review. We all get confused sometimes.
Burger and cheese fries were pretty good though.“

“I’ve been coming to this Sonic location on and off for over 5 years, and I honestly can’t recall a single noticeably bad experience. Most of my visits are in the morning for breakfast, and they have consistently done an outstanding job—especially with the breakfast burritos.

The food is always hot, fresh, and made with great attention to quality. I also want to highlight the blonde carhop who’s been working most mornings for as long as I can remember. She is always very friendly, fast, and ensures my order is perfect every time.

As a whole, this location absolutely deserves five stars for its consistency and great service over the years!“

“Pretty much what we've come to expect from Shake Shack. The food is better quality than McDonald's etc and the price reflects it. The restaurant was clean and tidy. Self-serve kiosks were available and an employee was taking orders, as well.

Drive thru or eat in. Plenty of parking and seating. Clean restrooms. Great location.“

“Fast and friendly on Opening Day! Highly recommend the Veggie burger!“
