29 Best Ice Cream Shops in Lincoln

“Jonah was a one man show (only one working)with such a good attitude and smiled throughout all the incoming business. I counted over 50 people while we sat there enjoying our ice cream. I told this young man how much we appreciated him and he was very humble.“

“This cute make your own frozen yogurt concoction spot has so many great flavors of frozen yogurt to choose from as well as a plethora of toppings to load up your original creation. They even have a variety of the fruity popping pearls!

Some may consider these treats a bit on the expensive side (you are charged by weight of your dish) but we know the price and have always thought it was worth it!!“

“Yummy ice-cream and great service!!“

“The ice cream is great. Nice selection of flavors. It has a nice silky texture, very creamy and smooth.“

“The absolute best Dairy Queen around!“

“A genuinely good place. I was a bit confused at the menu at first, but that's my fault. The milkshake is very good, and the burrito I got is amazing. Good recommendation for a casual lunch at a local restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: A good place to take your family, as they have smaller sized meals and snacks.“

“This is the second best ice cream I’ve ever had and I’ve had A LOT of ice cream from all over the world! It is so close to first but not quite. (Best is in Madison, WI but I won’t name names. You’ll know it when you try it. Hint: you can get it on campus.) The texture and body of this ice cream is INCREDIBLE! The flavors also standout really nicely individually.

I liked the atmosphere a lot though it is admittedly a little tricky to find if you don’t know what you’re looking for. I do generally prefer a less busy looking ice cream shop but I also appreciate the character of Ivanna Cone.

We had: chocolate, vanilla, fresh strawberry, cinnamon. We all liked the cinnamon best but they all were great too!

You have to try this place if you love ice cream and are in Lincoln!“

“Delicioso todo , se los recomiendo , buen sabor y muy buen servicio.“

“Each time I have gone in, it has been easy to place my order and when they give me my order and show me to make sure it all looks good is amazing

“The frozen yogurt and toppings are always so fresh! One of my favorites is the sweet coconut frozen yogurt with fresh mango and other varieties of fruit.
This would be a great place for whatever kind of meet up. I love to take my kids.
A clean environment and kind staff.“

“Great cookies and knowledgable/attentive staff! Staff member answered all my questions and gave me recommendations accordingly. They also have a rewards app, earned two cookies from my first trip. In comparison to Crumbl, they’re lighter and not as heavy. Overall great cookies, clean store, and helpful staff.“

“So far the best place to enjoy a good meal with family ,friends or alone ?
But have you tried the Mexican ice cream yet ?
Delicious ,?? 100% recommended

Parking: Parking is shared with other small businesses there so you have to be patient to get a spot ?

Wheelchair accessibility: Doors are big enough and there's accessibility for a wheelchair (my son is on one).“

“Clean, well-staffed Culvers location that provided us great and quick service. My wife and I had the Sourdough Melt ButterBurgers, fries, steamed broccoli, and a chocolate frozen custard. We walked 1.7 miles from our hotel to eat here a were very pleased with the delicious and fulfilling meal provided.“

“Food is excellent and so is the service!“

“Usually a 10/10 experience and a big reason for that is because they give you a good amount of mixins for your ice cream but I came in recently about 20 min before close and ordered a quart size ice cream which gets four topping choices so I ask for one part KitKat and the rest red velvet cake and the lady gives me one piece of Kit Kat and three or four small pieces of cake which is the smallest amount of mixins I have ever gotten and made my ice cream very disappointing! idk if it was because she was new or because she was upset that it was busy 20 min before close but it wasn’t what I’m used to and I hope it doesn’t become a normal thing“

“Came in to get dinner with my mom and I wanted to use my scoopie tokens to get a free kids meal, Summer at the register was awesome! She answered my questions about the tokens and was overall very personable! I highly recommend coming to this Culver’s, especially because they never forget the sauce!!“

“I love freddy’s. Always have and always will. This freddy’s is one of the best that I’ve been too. Cleanliness is great and the customer service is immaculate. Keegan took our order and was very friendly and started a conversation with us. He also went and looked for seasoning packets for us.“
