41 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.“

“We had been to multiple other ice cream places, it was getting late and we had given up on getting ice cream. We found this place and although they seemed to be closing up they welcomed us in without any hesitation. The icecream was fantastic, the staff were friendly, the whole place was super neat, clean and tidy. The decorations were cute, great ambience with a charming, tasteful aesthetic. Totally recommend. It was a port in a storm, on a night when our ice cream dreams had been all but dashed“

“Walked in thinking I’d get one scoop and ended up getting a pint to go! Tons of flavors and the staff let us sample as we had never been before. Ended up getting Honeycomb and Biscoff, so so good and great portions. Decided to get an espresso as well, which was a great roast. Ended up getting a pint to go filled with gelato!! Amazing staff and amazing recommendations. Can’t wait to go back again to try more flavors.“

“One of the best ice cream spots around! From the moment we arrived, the service was friendly, welcoming, and fast. They offer a great variety of flavors, and everything tasted fresh and high quality.

My absolute favorite was the Mango Water Ice it was incredibly refreshing, packed with real mango flavor, and had the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. The texture was smooth, light, and perfect for a hot day. It’s definitely one of the best mango water ice treats I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to come back and try more flavors, but the Mango Water Ice will always be my first choice.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious frozen treat!“

“Has always been the best Ice Cream around. The taste is always consistent.“

“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.“

“*Edited - original review was for a different location, i am so sorry**

Location is great! Staff is friendly and their product is wonderful. Their variety of custard flavors blew me away. Our local location only ever has chocolate and vanilla. High recommended this Ritas!“

“great ice cream. Great family run business.“

“Love Rita’s different flavors everyday during the summer! Quart stock up for winter is great!“

“We can’t say enough great things about Yogurtland at Hamilton Marketplace! We have been regular customers for quite a while, and every single visit has been a great experience.

The staff is always so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The store is consistently spotless, the atmosphere is inviting, and everything always looks fresh and well-stocked. The frozen yogurt is always delicious, the toppings are fresh, and everything tastes exactly the way it should.

Recently, we decided to try a different frozen yogurt shop while we were in another area (Menchie’s in Cherry Hill), and it was such a disappointing experience that it made us appreciate Yogurtland even more. The difference in quality, freshness, cleanliness, and overall experience was night and day.

Needless to say, we’ll be sticking with Yogurtland at Hamilton Marketplace from now on. Thank you for consistently providing amazing customer service, fresh products, and a place our family loves to visit. We will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS choose Yogurtland over anywhere else! We are sorry we cheated!“

“i’d give more stars if i could , they are so kind and sweet. especially liz ! in my opinion she needs a promotion,or better pay because she always goes above and beyond. her customer service is impeccable. they also have such a good variety of ice’s and custards. highly recommend the strawberry cheesecake cream ice, and the pistachio custard. (but seriously give liz a raise and some recognition😊)“

“I've always loved Rita's! my daughter got to finally enjoy a piece of heaven from my childhood. Family of 7. 4 of them experienced Rita's for the first time ever. We make it our mission to go twice before we leave.“

“Best Ice Cream in Central NJ in my opinion. Well worth the stop.“

“Last Dairy Queen in the area. Great icecream and other cold treats. Very friendly staff who have worked there for years! Hurry up and visit before they close for the winter.

Parking: Large free parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome.

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right up to the window and order.“

“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. 😊🍦“

“After my trip through Rancocas State Park I was starving! I had bookmarked this place a long time ago and was excited and I remembered they were close by. They serve burgers, hot dogs, cheesesteaks, and some other special sandwiches as well as a full serve ice cream shop! They take cash only so be prepared, if not they have an ATM on premises. The young woman behind the counter was extremely polite. She had a beautiful smile on her face. The whole time I was there. The business was busy yet she continued to smile, walked around the entire restaurant and checked on her customers as well as took out the trash and many other various chores. I ordered a cheesesteak and fries. And we're not talking. Just a little steakum on a bun, this was an actual beef steak with a generous amount, and an entire plate of french fries. Fries they look like McDonald's fries except much crispier and a lot less saltier. If you're ever in the Mount Holly area and are just looking for a good burger and some fries followed by a milkshake or ice cream, this would be the place!“

“I love the brownie chocolate cream ice. The owner is so helpful and kind“

“The nice young guy who served is on Sunday 6/2 just after opening could not have been more attentive and nice. A second employee came and he was just as good when I asked him for lids. He made sure I had the right size. Both a pleasure. Our gelatos were done perfectly as well!“

“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“

“I just want to thank you ladies for being so kind ! The ice cream and waffle cone was DELICIOUS. And providing my little man his own baby cone as a surprise. It made our whole night ☺️ If you are looking for delicious ice cream and amazing customer service this is the place !!!“

“Very good Location.Very courteous staff.“

“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!“

“(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.“

“Burger was very good. Fries seasoned very well. Their custard and sundae options are very good. This time i had a turtle Sunday. Next time I will try the concrete version. Prices are very resonable. Will be going back next time i am in the area.“

“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“

“every now n then I have to have a Sonic Double cheeseburger or a foot long oh and don't forget the Tater Tots to die for definitely recommend 👍“
