20 Best Ice Cream Shops in Wilmington

Wandering Cone Creamery Ice Cream Shop •
921 Princess St Unit 105, Wilmington

“The best icecream in Wilmington! I love how there are gluten free and vegan options. Something I do want to mention is that there is potential risk of cross contamination. I realized that not every icecream has its own scooper. When I came in the lady asked me if I wanted a clean scooper for my icecream which I said no but I felt like it wouldn't have mattered if I were to say yes or no because it probably was contaminated prior. So she used the same scooper that she got my boyfriends not gluten free icecream to get my gluten free icecream. I personally am not allergic to gluten so it is by preference but warning anyone that actually has an allergy or that is vegan since the business comes off as allergy friendly to me at least.“

Lazy Jack's Ice Cream Shack Ice Cream Shop •

“This shop has good ice cream, but I was disappointed with their use of single-use plastic products as they have a plaque in the shop stating they are an ocean-friendly establishment. Especially being on the river front, this is something they should implement, especially being Plastic Ocean Project recognized.“
