50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Magnolia

“Been coming here since I was 10 years old, 27 years later it’s still amazing.“

“Pasta making class Olivia was excellent. She understands the regions of Italy and was able to prep and explain with ease and grace. A participant asked about cacio e pepe, which was not on the agenda, and Olivia quickly prepared the basic but difficult to nail sauce. It was spot on. Would def recommend HBB to friends and family. One suggestion though - supplying guests with aprons would be helpful!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Van Leeuwen Ice Cream – A Love Letter in Every Scoop

If heaven had a freezer, it would be stocked with Van Leeuwen.

I came in for a treat and left with a religious experience. Their Coffee Affogato flavor is everything an espresso-lover dreams of—intensely bold, silky, with that creamy finish that wraps your tongue like a velvet curtain call. It’s not just coffee ice cream—it’s an Italian café pressed into a cone.

Then there’s Pistachio—not the artificial neon green kind, but the real-deal roasted pistachio essence. Nutty, rich, and quietly luxurious. It’s like they churned up a Mediterranean summer and handed it to me in a biodegradable cup.

But the showstopper? Marionberry Cheesecake. A fever dream of tart berry swirls and thick cheesecake folds, each bite a layered masterpiece. It’s tangy, it’s sweet, it’s slightly sinful—and completely addictive.

The staff were kind, the shop smelled like toasted sugar and happiness, and every flavor felt like it was made to be somebody’s favorite.

Glowing doesn’t even begin to cover it—Van Leeuwen is a shrine to the art of ice cream. Run, don’t walk.“

“10/10!! Cereal swirled ice cream??? Sign me up! I checked out swirl’in ice cream & cereal bar for the first time today and it was AWESOME! The concept of putting fun cereals that I haven’t had since I was a kid into ice cream was so unique and fun- a must try!! The owner is inviting and passionate. Can’t wait to go back and try another fun concoction!“

“Walked by here yesterday with my boyfriend and was pleasantly surprised they were open this time of the year. Customer service was excellent and the place was super clean. The workers had gloves on and the owner who took our order couldn’t have been any more nicer. We got a brownie delight sundae which was amazing, a gelati made with their home made water ice… and 6 cookies that were served warm! The apple pie cookie and blue berry muffin cookie were so YUM!! We will definitely be going back! 😊“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“Got a double of the Merci Boku 2.0. Was the right amount of Cinnamony, caramelly indulgence with cake chunks. Will definitely go back for new flavours next time I'm around. Decided it was good enough for a picture after a few too many bites.“

“I absolutely love Kilwins in Midtown Village. I came across this location early this year after going for wine with some friends at Vintage Wine Bar. I got some of the butter peanut ice cream, fudge for my little ones, and chocolate covered pretzels. When I tell you that ice-cream hit! It's so fresh and not too sweet. The hand dipped Graham crackers, pretzels, Rice crispy treats are divine! The seafood chocolates were so good. The chocolatier explained it as having the same consistency the inside as a butter finger. He was so spot on. It was such a different kind of chocolate experience. Lori the owner and her crew are so welcoming and friendly. A trip to Kilwin's is worth every cent!“

“Handmade ice cream with real ingredients. Lena’s has the best ice cream made from scratch by the owner. I have never had a bad flavor of ice cream, and I’ve tried almost all of them. Great ice cream shop with fantastic ownership and staff. Wishing Lena’s nothing but success, because I would be crushed if they were not there.“

Give this wonderful establishment a try , you will not be disappointed!“

“Was in town for a conference at the Marriott across the street and was completely amazed by the market and saw what looked like really good authentic ice cream so gave it a try… and found it to be just as amazing as the market. I went with the crowd favorite, salted caramel pretzel and it was full of chunks and flavor. So good. Definitely recommend!“

“. I love the unique flavors, and the amount of variety there is. They are all different and delicious in their own ways. My personal favorite is the brambleberry crisp! The only reason I’d give it a 4 instead of a 5 for the store itself is that the ice cream shop is on the much pricier side, and their pints are the same price as their 2-3 scoop options. I now opt to buy them by the pint.

. Everyone here is always so upbeat and friendly. They let you try as many flavors as you want which is so nice, and they are so patient and quick as you try a bunch!

It is very bright and vibey in here! There are standing counters you can eat at and it is overall nice.

Highly recommend this spot if you are around the area! A unique and delicious ice cream shop, just keep in mind that it is on the pricier side.“

“Another beautiful event at Gran Café L’Aquila for our annual department dinner. For the second year in a row, their team made the planning process incredibly easy, assisting with the delicious menu, wine selections, setup, and flawless service. Everything was handled with care and professionalism. There’s nothing better than hosting an event and being able to truly enjoy it alongside everyone else.“
