33 Best Ice Cream Shops in Lincoln

“Lived in Lincoln from 1970-1988. Zesto's hot fudge sundaes were consistently a highlight. We were back in town for a visit and I was tickled to find out they are STILL as great as ever! Service by Ella was fine, and still lots of lovely shade to relax in while enjoying our treats !“

“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!

“The absolute best Dairy Queen around!“

“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.“

“I LOVE their ice cream. So tasty and fresh flavors that are always new every time I go.

Tonight was the first time any of the staff had been rude, every other time they’re exceptional at service as well. But tonight at 10 min before closing as we got up to the counter the guy serving us said “ugh, we have to stop giving samples now, how else are we going to close on time!” To his co worker. Then “ok, you get one sample” to me. 🤷idk. I don’t get it. Seems like if you don’t like closing, maybe don’t take closing shifts. Everytime I worked them, i didn’t care when we closed because people tipped better when they knew we were trying to shut up shop, but served them well anyway.

We still tipped like usual, but it soured the experience for us. We were rushed through our choices, kind of picking things in a panic to hurry up🤣 it’s ice cream, it should not be this serious. The truth is, there’s too many good ice cream shops in town to want to come here and give my money to a brat.“

“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

“So far the best place to enjoy a good meal with family ,friends or alone ?

Delicious ,?? 100% recommended

“I was very impressed with my recent visit to yoguritni. I will say that I felt like some flavors were missing, there was rainbow sherbet advertised on the wall but wasn’t there. Overall, I really enjoyed the amazing toppings and frozen yogurt flavors. It was a nice and refreshing stop. The staff was so friendly, and they definitely engage the customers more than Cherry on Top. This is my new go-to froyo spot!“

“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.“

“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 have serious food allergies. I went to this location on 7/8/24. The staff member that helped me (unfortunately I did not get his name) went above and beyond. I watched him wipe down the machine and he took the ime to recognize my needs. A wonderful experience.“

“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.“
