“Good frozen custard. We always try to go after Cardinals game. We'll sized proportions for affordable prices. Lot has security and bright lights for anyone worried about area.

“Scoops of Joy served ice cream to our neighbors in Frontenac at our recent Ice Cream Social and Open House. Not only was the ice cream delicious, it came in ten different flavors! Bridget, the employee who served at our occasion, was delightful, patient and excellent with small children. You will find owner Sandy Daniels to be a friendly and organized partner in helping you to plan your event. I highly recommend Scoops of Joy!“

“I absolutely love The Fountain on Locust! It is by far one of my favorite restaurants in St. Louis! The food is amazing and the dessert is always the perfect way to end the meal! Every time I have been to The Fountain on Locust, I have left happier than when I came in! The staff is very welcoming and they always do a great job, providing top-tier service!“

“My two favorites are the bramble berry crisp and the wild berry lavender. The darkest chocolate is really good and pairs well with the wild berry lavender. We recently went and they had a few galaxy themed ice cream flavors. My son got super moon and really liked it. I wasn’t a huge fan be he’s tore it up. I got nebula berry, which was tasty 😋. However, purple star born captured my heart. Sounds weird to say but it was absolutely delicious and I’m thinking about going back to see if they sell this in a pint. Which says something because I can’t stand grape flavored foods -other than grapes- and I loved it so much. Reminds me of like a sprinkling white grape juice. I also couldn’t leave out of there without grabbing a pint of the bramble berry crisp. They have options for dairy free so this is definitely a place I would recommend and have recommended to friends,family and coworkers. You just don’t find ice cream flavors like these anywhere else..“

“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.“

“We got the large vanilla shaved ice, it was amazing! It was so creamy, the texture was perfect, not overly sweet and the strawberries added such a nice balance. The large size was huge, my husband and I shared it easily. 10/10, can’t wait to go back and try out some of the other flavors of the shaved ice and to try their teas“

“Amazing owner! So sweet and personable. I forgot my phone in the bathroom and she came three hours after closing to help me get it. We live out of state and were panicking. Absolutely grateful. She also makes amazing looking cupcakes!“

“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.“

“I was on lunch break was told food would be done in 10 minutes. waited 30. got back to work very late. To top it off the food was disgusting. I'm not sure if there was even a burger patty provided. what was om the sandwich was an over abundance of mayo and mustard like I guess I ordered a mustard and mayo sandwich. It was messy made the bun soggy and just all around gross. I was going to bring all my kidd back to eat and will NEVER EAR HERE AGAIN. A REFUND IS WANTED. 27 DOLLARS FOR 2 BURGERS 2 DRINKS AND 1 FRY AND THE PLAIN CHEESEBURGWR HAD ONIONS ON IT WASNT SUPPOSE TO. NEEDLESS TI SAY NO ONE ATE THEIR MEAL WE ORDERED ELSE WHERE AND I SUGGEST SKIPPING PAST THIS PLACE. NOT WORTH THE TIME IR MONEY WASTED.“

“Love, kids love, friendly staff !“

“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.“

“Amazing food and drink! Customer service was very nice!“

“Super pricey but good quality ice cream. A good splurge every once in a while.“

“We can't wait to see baby Jet, the new elephant!“

“We ordered a huge order and it was ready at requested time and the food was amazing!!! We had 48 chicken strips and 12 orders of fries with sauces. Everyone loved the food and it was so filling we had a ton of left overs!!!“

“todo esta delicioso vengo de vacaciones y El servicio exelente muy recommendable 💯“

“Crystals Crémery.. Was the best ice cream i have ever had.. Taste so rich and creamy.. You are in 4 a treat“

“We went yesterday after a hot but wonderful trip to the zoo. When I tell you the staff was probably the most amazing people I’ve ever come in contact with…I would not be lying! They were beyond friendly & sweet which is the best to encounter when you’re a tourist! The ice cream was top notch & I can’t stop raving about! Thank you for a great sweet treat ❤️“

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

“Jade did an excellent job. Very polite and friendly“

“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.“

“Great staff and great service. We enjoy them, all year round.“

“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.“

“Great service with a wide selection of froyo options. My husband and I both got froyo and a boozy beverage. Loved everything! We stayed a played cards for a bit, such a great idea to have games! Fun for all ages. (Discovered my husband doesn’t know how to play uno 🤣)“

“Ice cream was delicious! Variety of handscooped flavors. Perfect for any craving.
The food sounded amazing! But we arrived 25 mintues before closing. On a holiday weekend. Poor girl alone as a late crowd walked in. Felt terrible for her. Can tell she was overwhelmed as each new guest appeared, 8:40, 8:45, 8:56, still new groups walking in. And if you do ANYTHING but a scoop or 2 into a bowl or cone, game over. Shame on whomever scheduled 1 closer on memorial day weekend.
If you arrive late, be patient. But I can say. It's worth the wait. I had the latte themed one. With chocolate chunks. Perfect way to end a beautiful sunday. And my niece got a cute keepsake in the form of a baseball helmet for only $1.50 more.“

“Absolutely amazing! We did the delivery and pick up of a Christmas tree and we are beyond happy with our experience!!! Our tree is absolutely gorgeous and we can’t wait to decorate it! This just makes thanksgiving a little more magical!!! We really needed that this year! Thank you again!“

“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.“

“this is a wonderful place to eat i love it very beautiful vibe and very clean and neat and relaxing I love it yes go check this place out yall it's my new go to forever“

“The drinks are so delicious, I had a large bomb pop, You can definitely taste the liquor“

“The staff were very personable, and inviting. I had such a great experience! The food was hot and delicious also. We were a party of 20+ and they took care of us very well. I’d definitely return! I think there were only two people running the kitchen but if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it based on the service.“

“The lobby was kept amazingly clean and the hostess (Anita) was vey pleasant and friendly. She offered me a free cup of coffee for dining inside.“

“We had the ice cream sandwiches and they were delicious!! The service we received was outstanding as well!! 💕“

“we went to the soda fountain last night and our server Abby F. was amazing. we were a party if 10 and she was there fir all of our needs. Manager was Miranda- Randi and she was great as well. very friendly staff. we will definitely go back!“

“These are legitimately the best snocones ANYWHERE. I dont know how they do it, but they are so full of flavor without making your cup nothing but syrup. I've been coming here for 15(?) years and the transition from Angie, the Snocone Lady to Kerry, the Snocone Dude was seamless. We are SO lucky to have such an amazing small business in our community. My favorite is Hurricane, which is blue Raspberry and lime. My kids are strictly rainbow fans. All of the flavors are amazing though!“

“Old-school corner store vibe in the best way. This STL staple may be a little worn and tattered, but that just adds to its charm—it really captures the feel of a classic neighborhood convenience store. It could be a tad cleaner, but nothing major. They carry a great selection of nostalgic treats, from candy cigarettes and freeze pops to Now and Laters and Chico Sticks. You can also grab everyday essentials like bread and cereal at reasonable prices. Their variety of unique ice cream flavors (from black walnut to sherbet) and Vess sodas (strawberry, pineapple, and more) really set them apart. A comforting, nostalgic spot that’s worth stopping by.“

“Purchased these from out of state for my mother in St. Louis for a Mother's Day treat. Order process was smooth, digital experience is very good with multiple ways to track and notifications when order is on its way and delivered. Very pleased with the purchase experience. And my mom loved the cookies.“

“Ice cream is great, try the raspberry cheese swirl“

“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“

“The cashier was really nice and even repeated the order back to me to make sure it was correct. The boba tea was delicious and you can even mix flavors if you want! There was a bit of a line so be prepared to wait a few minutes before ordering since it's usually quite busy since it is in a mall. Would definitely go again!“
