23 Best Ice Cream Shops near Columbus

“This place is so cute and the ice cream is amazing! There was a nice range of flavors, toppings, and cones including pink and purple ones. The ice cream is sweet and creamy and the shop itself has so much charm.“

“Great Pizza! Especially Their Chicken Ranch!“

“Absolutely the best food I have ever had! I have been going since as far back as I can remember! We would go often just something to do!! Of course something to eat and super good too!!“

“Great events and shops. I love Rancocas Woods.“

“The ice cream is delicious, the staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Tonight we tried the S’mores hot chocolate which was a rich and yummy darker chocolate flavor with the top of the cup rimmed with toasted marshmallow. Highly recommend it on a cold night!“

“Dairy Queen continues to be one of my favorite go-to spots for both meals and sweet treats. Not only is the food consistently tasty, but the prices are also surprisingly affordable — especially compared to most fast food places these days. You can get a full meal (burger, fries, and drink) for less than what you'd spend at other chains, and the quality is just as good, if not better.

Their burgers are always hot and fresh, and I love the crispy chicken strips — they're flavorful, not overly greasy, and perfectly cooked every time. The portion sizes are generous too, which makes it a great value overall.

Of course, you can't talk about Dairy Queen without mentioning the ice cream. The Blizzards are legendary, with tons of mix-in options and seasonal flavors that keep things fun. The soft serve is creamy and smooth, and their sundaes and cones never disappoint.

The restaurants are clean, the service is fast and friendly, and I always leave satisfied without breaking the bank. Whether you’re craving a quick lunch or a frozen treat, Dairy Queen hits the spot. Highly recommend it for families, budget-conscious diners, or anyone who loves classic comfort food done right!“

“This place is GREAT! Old-school feel and menu with amazing Americana food to go with it and a good price point for everything. I had the The Cowboy Burger – Bacon, BBQ sauce & fried onions topped with cheddar/jack cheese blend, Chili Cheese Dog that was down right delicious, onion rings, and fries. If in the area you should really stop by.“

“We don't often go to the S Olden Ave location but we were pleasantly surprised with the top notch service we received tonight. The two young ladies working there tonight were both very pleasant and friendly, seemed generally interested in providing great service and did a delicious job making our sundaes. We've had less then good service at other local Carvel locations. Very glad we tried going there again.“

“great ice cream. Great family run business.“

“The rotating flavors keep every visit interesting— there’s always something new and delicious to try. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, always happy to offer samples and help you find your next favorite scoop. Such a fun, feel-good spot!“

“Amanda was amazing. She was all alone working and it was very busy. She handled it like a pro. Not only did she do her job very well but she did it with joy! She made our experiences great and exceeded our expectations! Thank you Amanda! You should get a bonus for working alone on a busy night!“

“10/10 experience! I had catered multiple yogurt flavors for an event and they exceeded my expectations. The entire process was super organized, each individual cup was neatly labeled, and there was a wide selection of flavors to choose from. The yogurt itself was CREAMY, smooth, and paired deliciously well with toppings.Definitely will be revisiting!!!!“

“Best water ice ever & the service is even better I love ❤️ them like family“

“A nice ice cream window. No inside to sit at, but a number of tables on a clean patio.. and it across from the river and launch ramp. That also has a gazebo and seats...and nice views.

The extensive Debbie's menu is entirely ice creme ..the street has Italian, Chinese, etc.
BUT MY FAVORITE THING HERE IS: it has something like 30 flavors of SOFT ice creme any time you want!!!! Yup, coffee or. Raspberry or banana soft serve ...most any time“

“We just went here to try and the service was excellent as well as the delicious ice cream served! Very creamy, not super sweet, just very balanced. Highly recommend you go try for yourself!“

“Nelson would be proud! Stopped in today and couldn’t be happier. Yardville Carvel is back to being the BEST! We will definitely be stopping in more often. 😊🍦“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent service and the food is well worth a visit, and the positive energy you feel is a happy homecoming.(Original)Excelente servicio y la comida pues riquisima vale mucho la pena visitar lleva feliz a casa uno la energía positiva se siente.“

“Sinceramente, la mejor tortilla de harina que he comido en trenton, personal muy amable, el restaurante es pequeño, pero el sabor es grande, usualmente los tacos de azada son muy buenos ya que la calidad de la carne es muy buena, los helados y granizadas son muy buenos, todo a un buen precio. Sugiero siempre llamar para ordenar ya que tienen muy poco personal.“

“Freddy's is fantastic. Ignore the Burger King nearby, ignore Raising Cane's. Forget Five Guys. The food at Freddy's is tastier than your average fast food burger, the shakes are wonderful, and the price is pretty acceptable. What stands out to me is the amount of flavor in everything. The tater tots (highly recommended) and fries for example are nicely seasoned with black pepper, so much better than bland mcdonalds fries. And the burgers have actually touched a grill and come back with some char.
A shout-out to the older gentleman working the register. He very patiently explained anything we needed to hear, and helped make the experience friendly and comfortable.
Take your spouse or partner here for a nice lunch date, plus some shopping nearby, you won't regret it.“

“thank you for the ice cream cake for my daughter's 7th birthday“

“Very extensive water ice and ice cream menu, offering a variety of flavors for everything. They also offer foods such as corn dogs, churros, funnel cakes, and more. Very good place to go in the Summertime“

“Josh went out of his way to make sure my drink was exactly the way I wanted it. I love to get a Rt 44 Sprite with strawberries added. The more strawberries the better imo, and usually when I ask for this drink I get less strawberries than I'd like, however, Josh took the extra time to layer the 3 extra strawberry scoops I ordered inbetween the ice. My drink was wonderful and my day was made. Give Josh a little kiss on the head for me ♡“
