50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Ladue

“This is one of our favorite Baskin-Robbins stores! We have been to many around the area, even some far out, many we've not bothered to go back to. We will be back to this one! Their freezer case is well stocked with cakes, ice cream pre-packs and the like. The ice cream and waffle cones were fresh and delicious. The employees were friendly, kind, polite and very helpful. We pre-ordered a cake and it was very nicely made. We've had some cake disasters over the years from various other BR stores, so thankful for an easy, no issue cake order this time!“

“This is honestly the best ice cream/custard I’ve ever had. I ordered a concrete with chocolate custard and Oreo, and it was delicious! The service was super fast, too. I wish they had locations where I live. There are a lot of Dairy Queens in my area, but Ted Drewes is even better. I highly recommend stopping here if you’re traveling through the area, as it’s definitely worth it! While there, I also recommend checking out the gift shop and museum across the parking lot.“

“I have the privilege of living 7 minutes from here and take advantage of it as much as I can. It is one of the best dessert places in STL. They have plenty of allergen friendly flavors. It’s inclusive and the staff are kind. I would give them 10 stars if I could.“

“Creamiest ice cream I’ve ever had! Fun flavors, and they do a good job of dressing it up, too. A bit on the pricey side, but they are large servings and you’re paying for the unique experience, too. Definitely a place to bring friends and family when they visit.“

“This is the face of a VERY happy birthday boy. The driver was professional, and very kind to the children. Multiple people around the area were excited to see the ice cream truck too. He did our party and other sales. How he managed that I will never know. Because the kids were coming in left and right. I was excited that this business had sonic the hedgehog ice cream. But they exceeded my expectation on the variety of treats. We purchased bracelets for our party guests so the driver could know they were with the party. It worked out beautifully. I was actually able to purchase extra sonic the hedgehog ice creams and snocones! I will definitely be using them in the future. Great reasonable price and so friendly.“

“This is some of the best ice cream I’ve had in a long time. Made in house, unique flavors, SO creamy.“

“Delicious and I feel naughty when I’m eating it too!“

“I feel a certain way about ice cream especially Ted you know who, but Clementine’s salted caramel cookies and cream and the pistachio ice cream does something special to my soul!!“

“Best ice cream around! Their concretes, cones, sundaes awesome.“

“I love the brand. The ice cream is out of this world. The selection is nice. I bought a flavor I had never heard of before and the taste was out of this world. Only drawback from my recent visit was I wanted to buy a $2.50 bag ? to carry my selections home. The cashier acted like I did not have the money. I told her I did not come all the way out there broke. It was not a racial thing because we belong to the same race--the human race. I WILL RETURN TO THE STORE. (And for anyone wondering the flavor is Sweet Lemon Blackberry.)“

“The atmosphere and the staff were absolutely wonderful. Fantastic breakfast brioche and the iced coffee was amazing! Thank you for this lovely place in the city.“

“I’m in love with their Mangonada!!!“

“Creamy deliciousness and wonderful customer service“

“Key gooey butter cake icecream! Yum!!“

“This is one of my very favorite ice cream places in all of St. Louis! The flavor selection beats the heck out of the run-of-the mill 31 flavors! My current favorite is a salted caramel Oreo cookie combination that is incredible!!! They have a bunch of boozy concoctions as well as sundaes, shakes, cookie and ice cream sandwiches, and a so much more! Becky, the owner, is extremely kind and the new location is gorgeous!

Dietary restrictions: I love that there are Lactaid tablets (free) for those who are lactose intolerant. There are also a variety of non-dairy options“

“My husband took me a while back and I continue to go because the ice cream is delicious and the staff is very personable and courteous my favorite is the angel ? and I go just about every weekend sometimes after work during the week days it's just funny because the staff member knows who I am and what I like! So you guys should go check them out and I promise you'll love it!!!!!“

“This is literally the best ice cream place… the employees were extremely nice, the ice cream is amazing, the entire place (even the restroom) was spotless, they have tons of just small thoughtful things like a water station and feminine products in restroom, etc 10/10 experience“

“Our PTO had the truck out to school. They accommodated a special selection of treats and served everyone quickly. It was a great experience! Students and teachers loved it.“

“Doozles is the Best neighborhood treat in the area.“

“Key gooey butter cake icecream! Yum!!“

“In St Louis, everyone has their favorite frozen custard.

This one is mine.

The best peanut sauce in town. Get a Nutty Buddy (PB sauce, hot fudge, waffle cone pieces) and enjoy the covered parking or outdoor seating. Set back from the road so it's in a quiet spot.

Fair pricing, great flavor, and you can get some huge portions if you want (I stick to junior).

Has ice cream to go and rotating daily flavors. I'm just too boring and get my go to every time.“

“Stopped there after a square dance. It was some of the best custard I'd ever eaten. Yes, better than Ted Drew's! Even though I'm on Weight Watchers, I'm going back tomorrow! It's worth it!!“

“Creamy deliciousness and wonderful customer service“

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

“Olivia at the Cottleville location needs a raise! It was an abnormally warm day in November today and lines are crazy. She is the only one working, and she is hustling with a smile on her face the whole time. Go Olivia!!!!“

“Munchies and Menchie's... always Menchieing the munchies. (whatever that means). This place is home. We've been enjoying their sweets bar since 2014 - Yum! Have some of their cheese cake bites with your next serving of vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries. So good.“

“Great Experience!

Authentic Taste: I had the cookies and cream bubble tea and a taro shaved ice (by myself, don’t judge), and I enjoyed both. The bubble tea reminds me of Taiwan. as the boba tastes fresh with perfect texture and chewiness. The shaved ice can easily be shared among 2 people as a fun snack.

Friendly Employees: The owners are very friendly and answer questions. If you know the flavor, texture, and ingredients you want, you can ask them to customize it for you or recommend something.

The only con -
Menu Design: The menu could be simplified as there are too many options. It was very overwhelming to read at first so I went with my regular "Taro" and "Cookies and Creams" flavors. But like I said, the employees are very friendly so that made it less intimidating.

10/10 would come back.“

“First time. Will definitely be back soon!“

“This place used to be awesome but has gone downhill. We use to go to one location all the time so maybe it's just the one we're going to now but it's very depressing anymore. Too many other custard and yogurt places for me to visit. Not going here any longer, especially after the awful most recent sundae.“

“Super friendly when I walked in and greeted me. I placed a mobile order and there was about 15 min wait, not too long. I didn’t get the guy at the counters name but he was super nice showing me my order and then bagging it up for me. Definitely gonna order again. Me and my kids love crumbl cookies.“

“I came in on Saturday and wanted the Crown Apple Cupcake. Unfortunately they were out in the case so I chose the Hazelnut one. When hearing me ask for that the gal in the front of the shop went to the back and they made me one specially. I didn't make a big deal or say anything but it was my birthday and this made my day! Eating it now after a couple days and it's so good!“

“One of the best places to go for a great snowcone I've been known to family for years and they've really built it in to a very nice business. Try one girls &guys.“

“Best place to grab your favorite DQ treat fast!

Parking: Parking at McKenzie and Gravios Upper lot around 40-50 spots and additional parking on lower lot

Wheelchair accessibility: There's no curb, access DQ Treat stand from parking lot“

“very good icecream chocolate“

“Great selection, prices, sizes and SERVICE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!❤️❤️❤️“

“Awesome!!!!!!! Love this place very delicious and fun!!!!“

“Food and service is fantastic! We had the best dinner tonight! Plus we fed a family of 6 for less then $50!!“

“Love, kids love, friendly staff !“

“Crumble Cookie is one of the best cookie places I've ever been! Anytime someone asks where to go for cookies I tell them Crumble. They always have new mouth water flavors for each week. I love being surprised by what they will have with what season.“

“The cookies at Crumbl are absolutely delicious. I have never been disappointed by them. I've never had a more perfect cookie and they're well worth the price. The only thing you should avoid is the cookie happy hour. I'd rather pay full price than deal with the madness. Unfortunately, the customer service also goes down the toilet during this time. I've always had pleasant experiences with Crumbl when it wasn't happy hour. I'm sure the staff feels the pressure from the crowd wanting their sweets.

Parking: The Crestwood location is in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking.“

“Awesome shaved ice at great prices. It’s hard for my family of 6 to go out for a treat, but Wally’s doesn’t break the bank.“

“It’s Simply the Best! Great Customer service“

“Delicious frozen custard and pretty nice people that work there“

“We experienced their Italian ice at the Taste of St. Louis!!! We had to get seconds it was so good. They were serving out of a good truck and the two people working were very nice. We have never been to the store but after that taste, we plan to stop by one day.“

“Even with a long drive thru line they are quick. Always accurate and nice staff. My favorites are the seasonal key lime pie and pumpkin pie Concretes. Great arrays of toppings (my favorite are fresh fruit!) and menu items and you can watch frozen custard being made. Open til like 10 even in winter on weekdays, so it's great for night owls. Get a points account to earn $5 off your next purchase, also a treat on your birthday! They're going to run Lyons and FroYo out of business. I only wish they still did those BOGO coupons that were on the back of Schnucks receipts. It IS pricey otherwise. John Travolta would be stunned at the price of their milkshakes. Also, I can taste peanut butter in my concrete on many occasions. If you've anything but the mildest peanut allergy, let them know, or just don't risk it.

Vegetarian options: Only a few things on menu a vegetarian might want to be concerned about: If you are wary of gelatin, I would avoid the marshmallow creme topping, just in case. Perhaps the pie crust in the seasonal key lime and pumpkin pie concretes MAY contain tallow (beef fat.) Also, it's soft serve, so it contains milk, and I doubt it's cage free.

Parking: 24 regular spots located on 3 sides of building. 1 handicap spot with wheelchair access.

Kid-friendliness: Offer kid-sized cones. Strollers are given easy access to order at the front window. Menu is low so short people can read.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped spot with ample space for wheelchair user to exit the vehicle. Sidewalk has accessible grades instead of curbs for wheelchairs and strollers to easily maneuver. More than enough space to wait in line and order without being obstructed. I do not believe they have seating at their tables for wheelchairs, however. But most people do not sit and eat there, they just use the benches/stand.“

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

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

“they hook you up there with whatever you want“

“Great selection, prices, sizes and SERVICE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!❤️❤️❤️“
