21 Best Ice Cream Shops near Columbus

“My daughters and I came to the shop tonight to enjoy the ice cream sandwiches. The shop was busy when we came in but we were more than happy to wait. While we waited, the male employee left, leaving the girl to complete the orders. Though you can tell she was overwhelmed, she served us with a smile and apologized for the wait. The ice cream sandwiches were delicious. I got the chocolate chip cookie and the mocha cookie dough but I will be back again to try the banana's foster.“

“Absolutely delighted with the exquisite range of beverages! The Lychee bubble milk tea was a revelation for my taste buds, and my partner thoroughly enjoyed their indulgent oreo milk shake. While the mint chocolate chip ice cream didn't quite meet our expectations, our daughter loved the delightful challenge of chewing the chocolate chips. We're already planning our next visit to savor more delightful treats.“

“We haven't been here since before Covid, so we were eager to see how they were doing. The answer is great! Attentive service, great food. We had several pizzas and my son had spaghetti and meatballs. Food came out quickly. It was a Friday, and they had someone there playing guitar music. It really is a nice little place, full of atmosphere, and attentive staff. We'd definitely come back.“

“I can wake up in philly and think what do I want for lunch or dinner and will drive all the way up 95 to get to Columbus to buy chicken for dinner. And I can't forget the Jojo fries they are so good everything is good. Next I have to try the delivering gizzards. If you make the trip you will not be disappointed.“

“So excited we just discovered this place! Not only is the ice cream amazing, the owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They recognized that we were first timers and gave us the run down of flavors and everything they offer. They even have merch, created by the owner himself, and it’s awesome! A great addition to Rancocas Woods. We will definietly be regulars!!“

“Ice cream is my favorite dessert ever and I am the most picky there is...this is hands down THE BEST ice cream I have ever had in my entire life and I've had decades worth of homemade ice cream. I went here after having 2 slices of pizza and actually finished my ice cream beyond the point of feeling stuffed because it was THAT good. I'll gladly take the full feeling smiling happily with the leftover flavor lingering in my mouth, reminding me of the eye rolling, slapping the table goodness of this amazingly perfected recipe. Plus, the owner, Vincent, is a treasure to this town and the nicest, most relatable, sweet guy. He only adds the best ingredients, and as many times as people claim that same motto, there's no denying it. You can tell with the texture, the mouth feel, the density, melting speed (nice and slow to the last bite with just enough melt to be soft and easy to eat quickly without getting a brain freeze). There's a reason why there's always a line down the block! I'm not one to ever wait on a line, but for this, I would wait in pouring rain, hail, and even a hurricane. This sounds very exaggerated, but I've never been more excited to discover such a magical place. I can't wait for my next visit (which will most likely be at least twice a week). NO regrets. It doesn't matter what flavor you choose, you'll be in heaven! Even if it's chocolate vanilla or strawberry and you THINK you know what those taste like, you're wrong. Vincent customizes and perfects each recipe to his very own unique flavor. Even the coffee flavor has a homemade marshmallowy taste to it (acting as the cream in the coffee, I'm assuming). Out of this world, and I've never tasted anything like it. Even strawberry cheesecake, which is my least favorite flavor, made me a believer. If it could make me love a flavor I usually despise, then that should tell you something. I will never get ice cream from the grocery store or anywhere else again!! Vincent's for life!“

“Not only are there prices amazing the ice cream and service is even better I refuse to go any where else for my ice cream even if it’s closing time they will still finish the line with a smile never feel rushed always feel so welcomed even 5minutes after closing! Even the owner will greet you with a smile and a wave Their products are all delicious the shop is always spotless clean and their service is something we hardly see anymore“

“10/10 would recommend Lexylicious to anyone having a corporate event or birthday party!!! I booked the Lexylicious Ice Cream cart to come to my boutique for a large sale we were having and it was a huge success! All of customers thought it was the cutest surprise ever! The pink cart is adorable and the ice cream was delicious!!! Bridget was amazing when it came to answering my hundreds of questions that I had and James (i believe that was his name i could be wrong) was awesome the day of the event! I will definitely be booking Lexylicious again for my next event!!!“

“I want to thank the employees of JoJo's for helping to make my sister's 65th birthday a great success by creating an awesome ice cream cake (vanilla, mint chocolate and ganache), my sister's favorite with customized wording on the top. Last season, I treated my good friend and business associate who is 84 years old to the JoJo's experience. He ordered a vanilla/coffee milk shake and after tasting it he said that this milk shake reminded him of the shakes that he used to get from the drugstore soda fountain from when he was a child. He also said that since his childhood, no one other than Joe has been able to recreate that exact experience. I also find that each member of the staff always does their best to make sure that every customer enjoys their experience. I highly recommend that everyone try JoJo's. You will keep coming back for more!“

“Here's what you need to know about the new location. Free parking in the rear with plenty of it. You can also use the rear entrance, so you don't have to climb the Hill.Once inside, just go up the steps, just pass the Bathrooms and you'll be on the main floor.The food is still very good. The beer selection is phenomenal. The skinny is the big dogs are not big Anymore, but they are big on flavor. I would probably stay with the 3 For ten dollars Deal and get fries that they have never offered before. It's so pretty inside and so pretty outside. This should definitely be on your destination if in the Bristol area. I also wanted to point out there's many things to do in Bristol and along the river there's a library with outside seating, It's just up the street. A must see if you're in this location. We need many more businesses like this in this area, this is definitely prettier than New Hope, Fells point in Baltimore and many other locations that I've visited in my lifetime. What's sad to say is I've been in Pennsylvania for over 30 years. And never saw this location downtown. We've all driven through it, passed by it, been in or on the outskirts. Know of the Amish market up the street. But what's inside of town has been a big secret until now.Parking: Outback has plenty of free parking and a rear entrance.Wheelchair accessibility: Just for out front.“

“Great frozen treats! Despite us going during triple digit weather, I was shocked that this Rita's was not crowded. We got our treats right away and the staff was super helpful with helping us navigate the menu (this was our first time going to Rita's). I was very happy with the Green Apple Italian ice with gummy bears. It was a little more melted toward the bottom than I was expecting but it wasn't soupy so it was still good.“

“Great Ice Cream, great service and absolutely love the Ice Cream pies, that new owners wife has added to menu. Absolutely delicious!! New flavors of soft ice cream added, which you wouldn't believe! Wonderful, family owned business that aims to please the customer. Wonderful !“

“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.“

“Stopped here randomly and so glad we did. Guy could see we were struggling making a decision and offered some guidance. He gave really great advice on what to try. The seasonal pumpkin pie was definitely delicious and such a good recommendation. The Royal Blizzard was also an awesome choice. He put so much topping in. I was so happy. Highly recommend.“

“Small shop located in Bristol PA, owner is MassimoFriendly guy opened 5 months. Steak sandwiches, Hot sandwiches, Hoagie Burgers salads appetizers as well Icream and water ice. Cash only and only. No seating. I had the cheese steak with fried onions. The sandwich had ample amount of steak, cheese and onions. It was served on a soft roll, just my opinion a seeded roll would have pushed it to 5 star.“

“(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.“

“My pop and I stop thru on my way home from work daily (except the past week or two when he went on an Alaskan cruise) and we typically get a cone each. I'm known for both by sarcastic personality and straight forward nature, and extremely outspoken. I get these traits from him. I think he ruffled a few feathers one of the first times we went in bc it seems one woman tends to short him with the amount of custard on his cone. No big deal, I know, but I think he's getting fed up, and if he speaks up, he will make her cry. Other than that, I dig the place. Just the other day I went solo and got a Blizzard (the new caramel fudge one) and the young girl was sure to flip it before giving it to me.“

“Hey! It’s Rita’s! All of their items are great and the service is usually pretty darn good. There’s not a lot of space outside for sitting and the parking lot is pretty small, but it’s location doesn’t exactly permit alot of space. Nice place.“

“This place RULES!! Friendly service, no line and delicious ice’s. Met Cayla who made an outstanding choice of Black Cherry Gelato (when I couldn’t make up my mind).Cayla was engaging, fun and def has passion for her job.Free parking and lots of discount shops in the immediate area.Spend your money here… this place ROCKS!!“

The make the ice cream fast but no mistakes what so ever! So when you come here to visit make sure you enjoy while it lasts cause it sure is a treat!“
