32 Best Ice Cream Shops near Hillsborough

“We had 3 sets of 3 scoops. 3 different people with 3 very different tastes in ice cream. 9 different flavors. They were all wonderful and exciting. This is not your ordinary ice cream shop but please do not let that deter you from trying them out. Just expect to be a bit adventurous and go for it. They are a small batch artisan style shop with many unique flavors to try. We also grabbed 4 pints of other flavors to take home and try. The owner was awesome, explained all of the flavors and offered samples. The inside was very cute with a good amount of seating for an ice cream shop. Please go and try them out because this is the type of place that would be truly missed by anyone that has visited.“

“After many friends telling how good AMA is I decided to grab a pie and meatball parm sub to give them a go. My words will not give their food justice but it is delicious. Napoletan done the right way. Not to mention the owner is beyond good people. Greeted me outside while I was waiting for them to open and then offered me an espresso while my food was being prepared. We will most certainly be back.“

“The most flavorful hard ice cream! The Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffle? ::chef's kiss:: We mixed it with the cappuccino (great coffee flavor!) and my non-sweet-eating husband ate his half. The kids had a handful of very colorful chocolate dipped waffle cones to choose from and enjoyed their delicious colorbomb on the bench outside. They got the crazy vanilla (because rainbows are fun to eat!) and it was not only pretty but also had a really nice vanilla flavor. We'll definitely be going out of our way for this stop again! Also, special thanks to the counter staff for being extra patient with us.“

“The ice and gelato are terrific“

“love the bubble tea and general atmosphere“

“Yummy ice cream, the best ice cream cakes, and good crunchies!“

“I was here today with my girlfriend and I felt like I needed to leave a review. There’s pros and cons to this place but not enough cons to give it anything lower than 5 stars. The ice cream was outstanding! Most ice cream places especially in extreme heat like today (102 degrees) will give you ice cream that is melting before you even start eating! However the hard ice cream we got was hard like it should be and didn't feel like I was eating soup or drinking a thin milkshake. The owner suggested a brownie after we debated getting it or not and she definitely wasn’t just trying to sell it just to make extra money. That was by far the best brownie I’ve ever had and it stayed warm throughout the duration of my ice cream. I can’t wait to be back! As for the cons I just wish they were opened more than 2 days out of the week and we were able to sample a flavor or two before we decide on what we want. I was more than satisfied with the flavors I got but not being able to sample was a downside for me. All and all I would suggest this place to just about anyone! Hopefully they’re around for when I get married.“

“Fabulous service , selection And That Ice Cream !!!“

“great ice cream so worth the wait“

“This is the second year that we have ordered the ice cream cake for my daughter’s birthday and they did not disappoint. The cake is so delicious and a party favorite! Not to mention the beautiful designs! I will always order our cakes from Blue Sheep.“

“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“🍦 Five Stars for a Sunday Sweet Spot!
We dropped by this Cold Stone late Sunday evening, and it was the perfect, low-key end to our family weekend. Since it wasn't crowded, the staff was incredibly patient with my kids as they picked out their favorite mix-ins.
The store was spotless, the service was friendly, and the ice cream was as rich and creamy as ever—nothing beats a fresh waffle bowl when you have the place almost to yourself. It was a great, stress-free treat for the whole crew. We’ll definitely be back!“

“A good, clean,fun & family friendly restaurant and ice cream shop!“

“Yum for the whole family!!! They’ll blow you away with the flavors and large array of selections. Lexie crafted the tastiest most well balanced coke float I’ve had in a long while.👏🙌🙌👏 Be back soon!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Loved It!

I stopped in for a quick bite and ended up having some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The barbacoa tacos were incredible—super tender, flavorful, and packed with just the right amount of spice. You can tell the meat was slow-cooked with care. The tortillas were fresh and warm, and everything was topped off with fresh cilantro and onions, just how I like it.

The service was friendly and fast, and the whole place had a great vibe—laid-back but clean and welcoming. If you’re anywhere near this spot and love tacos, do yourself a favor and try the barbacoa. I’ll definitely be back!“

“The Gelatis are the best! Usually there’s a wide variety of ice flavors, lemon being my favorite!👍“

“What a truly wonderful experience it was coming here. This nice young lady that works there was very polite. There was a bit of traffic building up in there behind me, but she was very patient with me as I surely took quite a while to order a few things for my family members. Everything was clean, and freshly organized. She even made sure to reassure me that the utensils were all cleaned properly because I tend to get a bit skeptical due to the possibility of cross contamination. The ice cream quality was great! Much better than most other places in this area. I never asked for that young lady’s name but she wore a lot of bracelets, and had black nails just like my daughter, which I complemented! I will be back in here for sure!

Will recommend this place for all ice cream lovers!“

“Ziyad, Oh Ziyad the way you made my milkshake was oh so blessed. This guy ziyad had the coolest haircut! I mean no props to his barber (jackson) but man this guy was cool. My shake was so sweet and savory and man do I want another. It was a packed sunday night and he made sure I was tucked in and satisfied. Ziyad, Oh Ziyad you are one great employee!!“

“Where can I find grape sugar free Popsicles around 77503 area. Those were the best when I was in the hospital and I can't seem to find them anywhere. Ty!“

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the level of service I received. From beginning to end, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. The staff, Mark, Avery & Emily, went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, and their warm, attentive approach truly stood out. It’s rare to find such dedication and excellence these days, and I am grateful for the experience. I will definitely be recommending their services to family and friends.“

“Visited Kwality Ice Cream and had a really great experience! The Badshahi Kulfi Falooda was the standout — rich, creamy, refreshing, and full of authentic flavors. The pani puri was also super tasty with crispy puris and a perfect spicy-tangy pani. The paan was fresh and made for a nice finish.

Special mention to Madhuram, the owner, for the warm hospitality and friendly service that made the visit even better.

Tip: ask them to mix Pudina and Khata Meetha pani with a little black salt — it takes the taste to another level! Also, if you prefer better flavor, request room temperature pani instead of very cold :)

Definitely a place worth visiting for authentic Indian desserts and street food!“

“Hood food and a great staff! Located in what is about to become a very impressive town village

Kid-friendliness: More than welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: They have an ADA Compliant sidewalk and entrance“

“9/18/2020: A guy with blonde hair on top of his brown hair, was the nicest guy ever. I didn’t catch his name but he made my day better. He deserves more than the tip jar, he needs a raise for running the place. 5 stars, hope you get a raise :)“

“We had a great experience for our son’s birthday party! Responsive, reliable, and affordable!“

“The food is good I like the oreo drink,but the order took long because people kept interrupting and this family kept on interrupting the lady that kept doing the hard work and she was doing the hard work and atleast put a extra worker to help her“

“My wife and I like to get the burgers here which I rate as superior to most in the area, even the more upscale ShakeShack across the highway from them. The real star though are the fries and tater tots which are excellent. Their seasoning is perfect and they are always perfectly fried.“

“Love their custard but they really need to give the customer what they pay for. $5 for a large and they fill it like it's a small. My second issue with this place; consistency is key.“

“it's clean, has nice people working there, the food tastes real not that frozen bs, easy to order, they aren't cheap when you ask for extra toppings like once I asked for pickles and they gave me nicely cut pickle slices like a whole container“

“Had a mix up with a custom cake... but they were ready to go above and beyond to fix the issue. Mistakes happen; it's how a company reacts to them that makes the difference. And besides that, the cake we did get was a hit with the recipient and delicious!“

“Love my local Rita's, they are a wonderful family owned business.“
