38 Best Ice Cream Shops near Florence

“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“

“The service was awesome. The ice cream was also amazing. The place looks great and it makes us feel at home.while we were waiting they gave us popcorn no charge. Definitely try salted caramel and mint chocolate chip.“

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

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

“This is, without a doubt, the best Ice cream we have EVER had! And we have it EVERYWHERE we go!“

“This is hands down the best Gelato I've ever had. Its family owned and you'll see the owners present at the shop. The owner told us that the cream is imported from Italy. You can see a picture of the cows on the wall from where they get their cream from. You'll also find baked goods and coffee. They are pup friendly so stop by with your dog for a pup cup. This is the best place to come out of Bristol in a long time.“

“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!“

“Ice cream fresh, delicious place is super clean and staff is friendly and helpful ❤️“

“Ice cream is homemade and delicious. Owner was friendly& makes you feel comfortable. Place looked clean in side . Small hidden gem and busy! Good flavors to choose from good portions. Worth every penny for going out for ice cream especially on a hot day . Our family personally prefers this place over Rita’s.“

“I live walking distance from a Rita's water ice but choose to drive 15-20min to Mom's because they are better in every way than Rita's! They give bigger sizes and prices are cheaper and they have so much more selection of homemade ice cream, soft serve ice cream, and water ice in so many different flavors and combinations and Sundaes and Gelatis and milkshakes! Whatever you want, they got it!!! 👍🏼🍦🍨🍧🥤“

His name might’ve been Brian, I’m not sure though sorry! i got a Cinnamon toast, crunch dip and a quart of vanilla ice cream with a cherry dip. he was helpful and was able to do exactly what i wanted. it was so good !“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is my favorite place for frozen treats. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, the atmosphere is delightful whether you get take-out or eat your treats at a table. I'm happy they have not closed for the season and I hope that doesn't change. I missed Peachwave all last winter!“

“*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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Italian ice and gelatos , the kids love them“

“I had the Reese’s Peanut Butter Mudslide, and it was good

The two girls at the counter in the evening of the Fourth of July were very nice and friendly

Four stars instead of 5 only because it was more expensive than I anticipated it would be – for about the same price, it feels like Coldstone provides a little more ice cream“

“I love mixing flavors and trying new flavors. Blueberry will always be my favorite original flavor though.“

“No matter when or what time of the day I stopped there everyone was pleasant and had the best customer service skills. If they didn’t have what I wanted which was rare Bryan would make it for me in minutes. So sad today there done. Have a safe winter see you all in the spring. Ps other Rita’s are open for a lil longer but other Rita’s definitely don’t taste like Bryan’s Rita’s.“

“I think holiday ice cream has had the best ice cream since I was a child no matter how long the line is or how long the wait is if you're from this area if you know you know I seen a bad review and I seen the only got two stars obviously that person is not from this area“

“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.“

“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!“

“The owners happened to be in and I was pleased to see how kind they were to everyone around. You can tell the owners and employees care about what they do as everything was very clean and organized. Always delicious and a fun treat for the kids. Will continue to make Red Berry apart of our family traditions. 💯🍦“

“Very nice staff and the ice was great!!!“

“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😊)“

“A very nice custard stand. They even have an area you can sit and it looks like they were setting up some guitar music to be played out there. I didn't get to stay for that. But it was very nice. They also have food. You can go inside and sit I think. But we didn't do that. We went there for the custard.“

“The ice cream here is so absolutely delicious! We stopped in for a few pints to take home because we were driving by and wanted a treat for after dinner. We were totally unaware that we were about to eat the best ice cream of our lives! Seriously, do not sleep on this spot!“

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