37 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 !“

“Hands down, the best ice cream in town!! 🍦 The monthly speciality flavors are always sooo good!“

“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.“

“They came to my husbands 40th birthday party we hosted at our house and it was a hit with everyone there!! Pricing was reasonable, they were on time (early even!) and had a ton of great options to choose from! We are definitely hoping to use them in the future.“

“The absolute best Dairy Queen around!“

“Hands down best Ice cream in Lincoln !!!“

“La mejor comida mexicana auténtica que he probado jamás; de hecho, es la mejor comida en general que he comido en el Medio Oeste. Las porciones son enormes. He probado el elote estilo callejero, las enchiladas cualaqueñas y el agua de piña, que es mi bebida favorita.“

“If your child is wanting something fun and cold, this is the place to go. We are ways greeted with a friendly smile. When my Grandson comes over, this is the first place he mentions to go. Located right on East O Street. You’ve probably drove past it a million times, no take a moment to stop.“

“This is such a fun place to visit after a trip to pioneers Park. It's convient and quick. The young girls working there are sweet and fun.. its nice to see young people taking the initiative to get out and work to become self sufficient. Lots of smiles and laughter out here even when they're busy.
The raspberry Sunday is delicious!“

“Excellent ice cream and great, friendly service.“

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

“It's normally a good clean place, obviously the consensus with people I've talked to is, is that it's extremely pricey and it would be nice if they would change their flavors up more often. Other than that I am a repeat customer about 4 to 5 times a year and again I know they are trying to make money and run a business and I get that but everyone and I mean everyone I've talked to says it's way too expensive but the flavors are usually extremely tasty“

“I usually have great service from Insomnia and recently was the only hiccup. I ordered cookies like normal but this time there was a substantial delay. After an hour and a half I just assumed they wouldn't show up. Then I got a call and they apologized for the mix up and sent me my order AND refunded what I paid. Great service. Thanks again, the cookies were great!“

“Amazing ice cream and even better service! They upgraded me to a Waffle Cone at no extra cost since it was my first time, so they insisted that it was on them. I had ordered a single scoop, but they decided to give me a bigger portion since they weren’t quite sure they could make another scoop out of what would have been left. So many free upgrades and of course, the Purple Cow flavor was splendid. Would totally recommend!“

“I absolutely love coming here! There's such a variety of things to get and the Elote is to DIE for. I live near by and am able to walk there, and it's a great quick spot to eat or get a sweet treat! I'll definitely be coming here more often and so glad I tried it out. Very friendly staff and welcoming environment and they had the cutest decorations for Valentine's Day!“

“The lady working there is an absolute gem!“

“let me start by saying i am disappointed in how high-calorie a crumbl cookie is. you need to stretch the cookie out over at least two days to even consider treating yourself— not to mention the cost also warrants a multi day treat.

however, i must applaud this location for their friendliness and customer service, and delicious cookies that live up to the hype and quality we have come to know and love.“

“Absolutely delicious! Traveled to Nebraska to visit my best friend and wanted to try somewhere she hasn’t been as well. We stopped here and everyone was incredibly kind answering our questions and the food was as amazing! I hope to find a place in Ohio as good as this!“

“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!“

“Love this place, wonderful employees and they give great pup cups!“

“Great tasting food & good friendly service @ a good price“

“We live close to this location, and I must say the team and the food are always awesome. As a matter of fact, we love the team here so much we decided to use our coupons to get a basketball, have the entire team sign it, and add it to our sports memorabilia collection! What a team!“

“Food is excellent and so is the service!“

“Where do I start people they are wonderful.The root beer is the best so creamy you will never taste a better root beer!The icecream is so delicious I don’t know of anyone makes it better? I love this place I live in Crete . I hear on the radio about this place but never thinking that it would be so good. I can say that Culver’s is my favorite place to eat.Thank you for making such great food.“

“Love how Convenient this location is to my home. We love Freddys. Even with a slight mistake they made it right and made it better with a cherry on top. Smiling kids, great management. Keep it up.“

“I had a really great experience at Cold Stone Creamery! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Kylee (I believe that was her name), and she was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She offered to let me sample a few flavors and was very patient while I decided what I wanted. I ended up getting sweet cream ice cream mixed with brownie pieces, fudge, and caramel. It was absolutely delicious super creamy and perfectly blended. Kylee prepared it quickly and professionally, and her positive attitude really made the visit even better. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We love Freddy’s ❤️ great food and great service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious yogurt - perfect now that warm weather is here! 😋 I highly recommend this shop“

“Loved the food the slushies could use more syrup on the .79¢ Monday nights but since it’s that price I can’t complain to much. After asking workers they usually overflow with syrup which is nice for the kids they love the sugar, have been give unsellable food in return like mozzarella sticks or fries great place good staff.“

“We haven’t been to this location for over a year. Our ice cream was always icey and not creamy. Since they advertised new owners we decided to give this place a try and I am really pleased with the ice cream! It was thicker and more like the original DQ ice cream. I hope the quality stays! Thank you!“
