11 Best Ice Cream Shops near Blowing Rock

“If you’re looking for the ultimate ice cream indulgence, this is the place. The ice cream is full-fat, ultra-creamy, and absolutely packed with flavor — no shortcuts or watered-down taste here. Every bite is rich and satisfying, just like real ice cream should be. The cookies are perfectly soft and chewy, making the ice cream sandwiches feel homemade but elevated. You can tell they care about quality — from the unique flavor pairings to the textures. And the servings? Huge. These sandwiches are no joke — they’re big enough to share (but you probably won’t want to). This shop is a must-visit for any dessert lover. Forget the low-fat stuff — this is how ice cream is meant to be enjoyed!“

“You'll know you're near when you start smelling the chocolate and fudge! Variety of options to choose from. The treats were very good, my only complaint is the prices. I got the smallest cup available for ice cream and it was almost $8. My husband purchased some fudge & 3 chocolate covered pretzels-That was $20.“

“Hands down BEST ICE CREAM AROUND! 10/10 worth checking out!! I have been the crochet vendor for them for the past year and I absolutely love every single thing about their shop! Amazing people, delicious Ice cream, a must try!!(:“

“Soft light, quiet corners,
a window seat facing a slow afternoon.

An iced latte in hand,
watching the world pass by on King Street.

Everything looked just right —
minimal, calm, almost poetic.

But sometimes,
it’s not just the coffee that matters.
It’s the feeling you’re served with.

Maybe I came for more than just a drink.
Maybe I’ll come back, maybe I won’t. ☕️“

“Great addition to East Boone. Friendly and efficient staff, delicious Italian ice with tons of toppings and very reasonable price. A few seats inside and some outside as well, it looks like there will also be a top deck.“

“Excellent value and super friendly staff! Dutch Creek uses delicious Blue Bell ice cream and scoops generously. This is two dips for $5. It’s creekside, too, so you can sit at a picnic table in the shade and enjoy your treat. Highly recommend. I paid more for a cone one-fifth this size in Banner Elk one day before this one. This was especially wonderful to enjoy after that sad experience.“

“Wonderful staff! Awesome ice cream and in the heart of Boone, NC. Great break from shopping 🥰“

“Delicious frozen yogurt! Great place to bring your kids, friends, or to just enjoy their yummy yogurt by yourself! The staff are so friendly and welcoming and it’s a delightful shop. The yogurt is reasonably priced and there is always a nice selection of flavors and toppings. Awesome establishment! ?“
