50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Amherst

“Crumbl Cookies is definitely one of those places that lives up to the hype—at least when it comes to creativity and presentation. The cookies are huge, soft, and packed with flavor, and the rotating weekly menu keeps things interesting so you’re never getting bored of the same options.

Some standout flavors are usually the chilled cookies and anything with frosting—they’re rich, sweet, and honestly feel more like a dessert than just a cookie. The packaging is also super aesthetic, which makes it fun for sharing or posting.

That said, the cookies can be very sweet—sometimes almost too much—and a bit pricey for what you get. Not every flavor is a hit either; some can feel a little over-the-top or underwhelming depending on the week.

Overall, Crumbl is a fun treat spot if you’re looking to try something different or indulge once in a while. It’s not an everyday thing, but it’s definitely worth checking out for the experience.“

“Service was fast and accurate for time of year. (Service tends to be understandably slower during prime season due to overwhelming amount visiting patrons) Staff was friendly and respectful as always. This establishment is my go to place as it is closer to my home compared to the other Andersons. Highly recommend.“

“yummy ice cream! let's you try before you buy so you know you will like it.“

“Thank you Insomnia Cookies for delivering this sweet treat to my daughter on her birthday! 🍪 🥳“

“I am a professional graphic designer, I worked for his restaurant for about 6 to 8 months but he did not pay me any salary on various pretexts, he cheated me. If any Bangladeshi brother helps me or brings such a person to justice, it will be very beneficial for me because I am in Bangladesh and I do not know anyone in America for whom I cannot do anything. I have enough evidence, if someone helps then it will be very beneficial and it is better to bring such people to justice so that no one can cheat like this again.

“Went for a chocolate factory tour and the owner was absolutely amazing! The history is incredible and the chocolate is outstanding. They not only have an awesome store,they ship anywhere and they also offer ice cream, specialty coffee and hot chocolate. You can also order a icecream cake or icecream pie. Great business with a great selection and atmosphere. I definitely recommend this incredible business.“

“We absolutely love Nicky 2 Scoops. One of our favorite places to go for a family treat any time of year! Prices are great for the amount of ice cream you get. The outside seating area is great in the warmer months.“

Everything here is amazing, including the owners. If your visiting the Buffalo area this place is a must see, we always bring out of towners here! Thanks for being such an awesome part of our community!“

“This is my new favorite ice cream place! They have so many Perry's flavors. I was so happy to find that they had the Queen of Hearts flavor that I've been craving for the past 11 years! Service was quick and friendly.The location is perfect with good parking and located right across the street from Riverside Park. Looking forward to trying different flavors and walking through the park this summer!“

“I go to Anderson’s on Sheridan almost every Monday or Wednesday for lunch. I’m a creature of habit and always get the same thing. Beef on weck, hot sauce on the side, large fry. As soon as I walk up to the register, the super friendly staff already knows my order and name! They’ve even carried my food out to my table for me on a slower day for them! I’ve never had a bad experience. The staff is friendly, food is great, service is quick, even when they are understaffed- nobody is ever just standing around. I’d recommend going to the Sheridan Drive Anderson’s to anyone! And order whatever you want! You can’t go wrong!“

“Best ice cream in Buffalo“

“Good portion sizes and very reasonably priced. Lots of flavor options. The best ‘pup cups’ too!“

“Our favorite place to get 🍦! 😊“

“We went last night to Kone king and had a great experience. On fridays we celebrate our son Felix and call it “Felix fridays” where we do something fun with him. Decided on Kone king last night. Our son ordered his ice cream and the staff clapped and celebrated “Felix friday” and the one worker said she had something special for Felix and it was a color changing spoon- to a 5 year old that was the coolest thing ever. I just wanna say thank you to the staff for really brightening Felix Friday for us, it made it a magical evening for our sweet boy. ♥️“

“great food great place and service“

“Very Cute Local Neighborhood Ice Cream Shop with very reasonable prices and nice sitting area to enjoy“

“I have visited this place twice. Once last year during the 4th of July weekend (2025) and now today (July 4th weekend 2026), while visiting family. The place is great! A large variety of flavors and items. I would DEFINITELY recommend going there if you get a chance. Both times the staff were great.“

“This Dairy Queen is amazing! It’s right near me so it’s an easy walk, and usually the lines aren’t crowded and the staff are really nice! The atmosphere is nice and the food is great just a bit melty but you can grab a few napkins then you are fine.“

“Best ice cream I’ve ever had!“

“My sister and I were traveling for my birthday to Niagara Falls, Canada from Ohio. A friend of mine, who grew up in Buffalo suggested if we had time to stop by and try the best sponge candy, so we DID! We also tried other delicious chocolates and AHmazing baklava. It did not disappoint!“

“Great service and ice cream!“

“Crumbl makes some of the best cookies around. They’re fresh, creative, and consistently delicious, with new flavors every week that make each visit fun. The only drawback is the price. The cookies are excellent, but they are far too pricy. I’d visit more often if they were a little more affordable.“

“Usually really good, our order is always right, but sometimes it’s a group of young kids working that don’t really seem to care about whether you get your food/ice cream at a decent time or not. They tend to care more about being on their phones and listening to music/joking with each other than customer service but that seems to be pretty typical these days. Otherwise it’s been good“

“No I don’t recommend French Road Dairy Queen. The workers are rude. Online says they’re open until 10 so my kids and I ride our bikes a couple miles to French road Dairy Queen looking for a tasty treat. On arrival the inside area is already closed at 9:45. Drive thru is open since they don’t have a walk up window like every other ice cream shop I figured I could get served at the drive thru window. NOPE. No ice cream for you they say like I’m in the Sienfeld episode The soup Nazi only it’s ice cream. My kids and I were so disappointed. The ride home was treacherous with no calories in our systems. We barely made it home Sincerely Disappointed customer“

“Best spot for ice cream !!“

“I have been going to this Dairy Queen for decades. It only gets better!“

“We really like this particular location. It's always clean, the staff are friendly and helpful. We see a few of the same younger (college age?) gentlemen there when we stop in after the kids ortho & dentist appointments every month and they are always very kind and patient with the kids.“

“I love their Dilly bars and Buster bars!!♥️♥️♥️🤍🤍💙💙🎉🎊🎉🎊“

“Watson's has become a go-to part of my weekly self-care routine. Cashier James is the picture of customer service, warmth, and generosity. Large ice cream portions, delicious chocolates (available by the piece or pound), great hours, and affordable pre-Elmwood-surge pricing. I couldn't recommend Watsons more!“

“So many choices and everything is delicious!“

“Very good food. Lots to choose from and the frozen custard is so yummy!“

“I visited King Condrells the first time several weeks ago.the Twixplosion sundae was delicious. the staff and owners were so friendly and full of joy and smiles. While there, I also bought a box of their original melt away fudge and a HERD of chocolate buffaloes. The chocolate was so delicate and creamy. Highly recommended giving King Condrells a try.“

“We had the gelato cart come to our wedding! It was such a fun treat. Our guests absolutely loved it! The gelato is absolutely delicious and perfect for cooling off from our dance floor! Frankie is such a great human, and we were so happy to have him there!“

“Have stopped in and buying different treats here for years and still get plenty of new, sweet, surprises all the time. Everyone in the family love to come and pick their own sweet rewards. Love their milk-chocolate, orange, sponge candy! You can join their rewards system to earn points and get future discounts.“

“was great ice cream and great service and great company!!“

“Yeah, I really like this place! The prices are definitely reasonable, which is a huge plus. Plus, they never skimp on the toppings; you always get a good amount. The staff is also super friendly and always makes you feel welcome. Honestly, it's a great spot for a quick and tasty meal.“

“Stopped in to get some chocolate to take back to Vegas. What a nice selection they had. I spent too much money but this candy will last me a long time. The lovely associate was very helpful and super friendly. I will be back next time in town.“

“Friendly staff!
We usually get the vegan ice cream we have for sometime recently just went and had it noticed it was not the same it tasted different leaving a weird aftertaste. The staff were polite about it and apologized hopefully it goes back to how it use to be.“

“Learned about Golden Hour Treats on Grubhub when I typed in ice cream. Oh boy! I had a banana split which was the best I've ever had. The boys had the cotton candy ice cream and were very happy. I then went back in 2 days and had the banana pudding. I intended to eat a few bites and save the rest...well that didn't happen! Delicious!! Atmosphere is clean and the staff are nice if a little slow. It's definitely worth a trip.“
