44 Best Ice Cream Shops near Valley Park

“Fritz’s is the best place to bring our family and enjoy an amazing dessert! You can’t beat the frozen custard and all the delicious toppings to choose from!! My kid’s favorites are a scoop of chocolate with sprinkles! My favorite is the brownie sundae and my husband is a plane Jane and goes for a scoop of vanilla on a cone! That’s why I love Fritz’s because it’s a one stop shop for something that everyone loves!“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Sylvia Dee’s Coffee Shop is an absolute gem! I stopped in and tried the seasonal strawberry shortcake latte, and it was incredible. The flavor was perfectly balanced — sweet, creamy, and full of fresh strawberry notes without being overpowering. It truly tasted like dessert in a cup.

The service was just as impressive as the drink. It was welcoming, friendly, and efficient, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they really care about both their craft and their customers.

I’ll definitely be returning to try more seasonal specials. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for a cozy spot with amazing drinks and great service!“

“Best ice cream around! Good amount of VEGAN choices...just wish more were available daily without chocolate. Delicious!!!“

“Great service, amazing gelato!“

“Girl with blue eyes and long lashes was by FAR the best retail worker I’ve ever met in my life. I walked in after a hard day of work just wanted a scoop of cookie dough and I was met with nothing short of a charismatic and exceptional young lady. She conducted the interaction with a smile on her face, and a positive attitude. Thank you for turning my frown upside down. 💕“

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

“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!“

“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.“

““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”).“

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

“It’s Good period, A+! I’ve never been disappointed.“

“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.“

“Ran out of promotional offer after one day. Do you really think the ingredients are that rare? It's my girlfriends birthday soon. Fail!

Looks like they've had everything since then. Good selections lately. Loved the cheesecake. Loved the Dubai cookie. Loved the Dubai brownie.“

“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.“

“Thanks for coming by the job site. The guys needed a pick me up on a hot day..“

“This is the best ice cream I have ever tasted, and I have tried ice cream all around the U.S. Owners are incredibly kind, and all employees are very helpful. One of the cleanest ice cream shops I have ever been in, and super appealing decor. Highly recommend.“

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

“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!!!!!!“

“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.“

“Happy Grandbaby! ❤️ Best Custard!“

“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.“

“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“

“Love love love and great people that work here. Bring your pets too 😉“

“We ordered two milkshakes and waited for about 10 minutes despite being the only customers in the drive thru. But the ice cream was delicious and creamy and I personally loved how it was soft enough to suck up easily. Definitely good ice cream.“
