6 Best Ice Cream Shops in Gastonia

“Tony’s Ice Cream is a true Gastonia classic. The ice cream is rich and delicious, the milkshakes are generous, and the food has that familiar old-fashioned quality that keeps people coming back. The service is friendly, the prices are fair, and the whole place has a nostalgic charm you don’t find at big chains. Always worth a visit—five stars!“

“This was our first time here and it was fantastic! Ice cream was delicious and Nick (the gentleman working) took great care of us and catered to my kids which is always awesome!! Thank you so much! we will definitely be back!“

“I’m giving 5 stars but to the girl who is working by herself today Sunday. This place is so busy and she needs some help to keep this place clean the trash can is full inside and outside, tables are messy inside and outside and trash in the floor. I think this place need extra help on busy days…“

“Absolutely delicious and great value!!“

“Easy ordering process cookies are always good! This year I didn’t get my bday cookie 🍪!! The friendliness of the staff is hit or miss & I understand we all have bad days or circumstances beyond our control maybe even bad news on occasion, but at work you must learn how to leave it at the door! When a warm personal welcome is given and the cookie is nice & warm those are my fave visits they are the ones that keep me coming back! Make no mistake no one has gone out of their way to be rude or cold 🥶 it’s just written on the face or seen in the body language! My daughter is autistic so she def notices & always wants to make them feel better ❤‍🩹!“

“I’ve experienced how wonderful Hawaii’s shaved ice is and never thought I’d be able to find Anything close here on the mainland. Boy was I wrong! Pelicans has the absolute best. Best shaved eyes next to Hawaii of course that I have ever experienced so much variety and so many unique flavors and combinations kids love it. I’m 50 and I absolutely love it kid at hard. I guess you could say but it’s great for all ages.“
