45 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!“

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

“A great local ice cream shop and sweets store. They have lots of different flavors of ice cream, plenty of candy, and a dirty soda bar.
They have a really nice patio outside that you can sit on with the kids, or sit at the bar inside the store.

This is a local small owned business that has a few locations. Parking can be a little tricky on the street sometimes but if you park in the parking lot after the side, it’s really easy.

Rotating flavors - but my favorite is the Italian cookie flavor. Also had a brownie.

Employees are super helpful, lots of free samples, and a great price.“

“Sometimes these cookies can be old, it depends on the week! I realkk Li t wish they would’ve had customized cookies that you can make and choose instead of waiting for a weekly lineup to get the cookie you want. Other than that, they safe amazing!!!“

“Great service, amazing gelato!“

“I made a pretty big birthday order and somehow door dash got things confused - I didn't get what I ordered. I called the Watson Store and Haley and the crew were on it. Fixed everything and had a new order to me within an hour. You guys are great!!! Cookies aren't bad either. :)“

“I love the ice cream but jeez go easy on the workers! I’d feel so feminine pullin up to work in a damn tuxedo to make some ice cream. Also DONT intentionally throw glass they get so mad?! Like what world are we living in? An ice cream cone? Anywhos they make a killer strawberry shake but total geek making it in the back (He left his bow tie at home). Lastly I’d lake to say no one is going to use your chess board, we’re here for ice cream not the science fair. #ImOVERweis“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!“

“This store is by far the best Crumbl in STL to get cookies at. They always look like they should and are not undercooked like most crumbl cookies. I come in once every other week or so typically later in the day and there is always this one girl ( she told me her name was Kennedy) working so hard I’m always impressed. I’ve seen her handle entire crowds of people all by herself while still keeping a smile on her face. Every time I see her when I come in I know I’m about to have the best experience possible. Keep up the hard work!“

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

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

““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”).“

“All the flavors are very good and they are so friendly!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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 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.“

“The Le Macaron treats were a highlight of the night they were superb. I would highly recommend them for any event. And the owneris very pleasant to work with 👍“

“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 staff! Always friendly! Very attentive and customer oriented. I doordash sometimes, they ALWAYS greet me as soon as I walk in as well as grab my order out of the freezer.. Haven't tried them yet but I hear it's an epic 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.“

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

“Best ice cream shop ever! The staff make you feel right at home. Theres so many combinations of things its hard to decide. They also make their cones fresh while you're deciding what you want. You have to try this place if you haven't already.“

“I love Baskin Robins and its cool to have the combo of Baskin Robins & Duncan Doughnuts here but management REALLY needs to check on their employees because most of the time they act like they hate working and are aggravated when customers come in. I get the rush and having to make sure everyone has their orders correct but they just look miserable while they are working. I have only had a few kind worker encounters. Maybe Baskin Robins should show their appreciation to their employees better then the appreciation will naturally flow down the line.“

“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“

“Service great ❗️ Quality of ice cream great❗️Pricing yoU pay fOr want yoU geT 🎬 I hAve no complaints 😍 I'm one hAppy customer 🎉“

“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.“

“My sandwich when I got home! 🤯🤢🤮“
