20 Best Ice Cream Shops in Akron

“As always the best place to get frozen custard in Akron“

“Just picked up an order and WOW! The staff was phenomenal and the sandwiches are to die for! Highly recommend!“

“The gelato here is amazing. It is a super quaint space , that is very lovely to sit in and enjoy your gelato. The staff is always friendly and helpful with giving samples to try before you decide.

Highly recommended the chocolate hazelnut.“

“Been around forever and still great. Ice cream is so good“

“The way they treat their customers is by far unmatched. My grandmother lived around the corner from here, my mom grew up here. It was a hot summer day in 2019 and I decided to take my daughter here. In highschool I became allergic to milk, so my options were two sorbets. Every time I took my daughter here I would ask if they had non-dairy ice cream already knowing the answer. The next season I was extremely shocked that they started serving non-dairy ice cream and the strawberry banana is by far my favorite.“

“I stopped here and sampled the 4 scoop pack. I got the following flavors: pineapple upside down cake, lemon bar, peanut butter parfait, and blueberry cobbler. The pineapple upside down cake was my favorite. It was great flavor and I would definitely return if I was in the area.“

“Love the Pupcups for Panda. Wish I could add a picture. Well done..“

“Thanks for making my day! It was so exciting to run outside for the Jingle Scoot Man, just like I did as a child. He had all the old favorites I remember like sherbet with a gum ball at the bottom and Bomb Pops! Super friendly and offered to come anytime I call! Yum!! Thank you!“

“service good, seating (outside especially!) good, and always GREAT ice cream! also love bringing my dog here because of the pup cups and outdoor seating-- she always lives her best life!
also, make sure to check their freezer: they usually have $3 pints-- like what a deal!!“

“First time there and I ate it there very happy no long wait but lots of people stopping in .Will for sure be going back“

“I was kinda skeptical about going here at first but the ice cream was really good even if they don’t make it in house it taste like they do. I got scoops in a cup for only 4 bucks. The ice cream place, laundromat, and tanning place are all connected on the inside and only 1 person was working but the service was great and the person working was very nice. I will for sure go back here“

“Had Chill on my list for a while and finally made it in. Did not disappoint! Great service and great ice cream. So many interesting and unique flavors to try, I'll be back to try more soon! Got three pints to go, Lavender honey, Coffee maple and a vegan PB cup. All were delicious! Highly recommend! Gotta love the pint containers too.“

“La Fresa is the best spot! Not only is the food AMAZING but so is the service ! Daniel is absolutely phenomenal! I HIGHLY recommend!“

“I recommend the pizza!! Best sauce and crust ever!! So happy Michael Trecaso has his Italian Cuisine here! It takes me back to his “Michael Trecaso Restaurant” near Akron U! I may be a bit biased, as I worked for him when I was in college, but I wouldn’t promote the restaurant if I didn’t love the food!! 5 Stars!!!“

“The bubble tea was very good! There are a lot of choices for bubbles waffles that look great. My daughter really enjoyed the boba bubble waffle with ice cream and a variety of toppings.“

“Freddy's is an absolute gem! The food is top-notch, with their delicious burgers and custard that always hit the spot. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to hang out with friends or family. The service is friendly and quick, ensuring a pleasant dining experience every time. Overall, Freddy's is a must-visit for anyone looking for a tasty meal in a welcoming environment!“

“Ordered a whole sheet red velvet cake for nephew's graduation from St. V's.. Our family and guests LOVED the cake, it was delicious! I heard several say it was the tastiest sheet cake they had ever had. Icing was yummy. The folks who took the order (I called in from out of state) were lovely to work with. Highly recommended.

“OMG - there aren't enough stars to review Insomnia Cookies! I was very skeptial, but really wanted ice cream at 11pm. This place is AMAZING! It's beyond amazing! Well worth every penny we spent and nothing we purchased from cookies to brownies to ice cream, it us all the highest quality!! ?“

“This place is hit or miss, from what other reviewers are saying. So I took a chance. Man, did I get a hit! Despite my order taking 10 minutes longer than usual, the staff were friendly and not condescending whatsoever - and the burger was delicious and cooked properly. It probably helps that it's Halloween, Oct 31, but I may order from here again in the future. Coupons are what make things very affordable, so I recommend you always use one on your orders :)“
