30 Best Ice Cream Shops near Ellisville

“Tre Cuori is OUTSTANDING! Excellent service from staff, beautifully decorated shop that provides a calming and gorgeous environment, and most of all, the gelato is delicious! Highly recommend! they even have gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and sugar free options available.“

“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.“

“I recently swung by the Culver’s in Ellisville, MO craving something familiar and satisfying, and I walked out with exactly that. From the moment you step in, you can tell this place knows how to do comfort food well. The ButterBurgers come off the grill juicy and flavorful, with that signature lightly toasted bun and perfectly melted cheese that make every bite feel like a humble celebration. The crinkle cut fries are golden and crisp, and the flavor of the custard—rich and smooth without being overly sweet—reminds you why this Midwest classic has such solid loyalty. Whether you go with a classic concrete mixer or a sundae piled with toppings, it feels like a well-executed promise of a familiar favorite.

That said, part of the Culver’s experience here is the energy, and it isn’t always calm or quiet. During peak meal times, the dining room can feel a bit like a hub of activity rather than a peaceful spot for a quiet meal. Orders move fast, voices carry, and families and groups can fill the room with a cheerful kind of chaos. If you are looking for a serene place to linger with a conversation, this might not be the ideal choice during a busy evening, but it does lend itself to a lively, bustling vibe that fits a casual dinner or quick bite with friends and family. The staff handle the rush with good humor and efficiency, and even though the place gets busy, the quality of the food rarely reflects that chaos. All in all, it is a solid go-to for dependable comfort food in Ellisville, especially when you want great flavor and don’t mind a bit of friendly hustle around you.“

““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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It's always delicious, never fails.“

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

“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.“
