17 Best Ice Cream Shops near Amherst

“This ice-cream is one that I'll always scream for! It tastes delicious, it's near the schools so parents and kids can grab some ice cream, and it's right across from Hot Dog Heaven, just in case it's closed, which it usually is during the winter. (Hot Dog Heaven serves ice-cream, don't worry)

Parking: The parking is small, I'll be the first to admit that, but it's usually not that full unless it's a busy day, which it usually isn't.“

“Very delicious! We were driving around and I spotted the business in what appeared to be an empty plaza. I thought no way it’s open… well it is and it’s amazing! I may not know much about authentic Mexican food but stepping inside feels very authentic! Beautiful decor and there is an ice cream part in the back! We went to try some chicken nachos and they offer a bar where you add your own toppings. Chicken nachos were great! I really liked their salsa! It was very flavorful with just enough spice. Truly a hidden gem!“

“I’ve been hearing about this place under new management. It’s a big 10/10! I was passing through Cleveland and veered off. So glad I did! Cool vibe, service and food! I have to tell you it’s probably the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had. The quality of meat and the amount. Homemade chips and dip as a side highly recommend.. I originally couldn’t decide between that or one of his famous Bill Boys pizzas- so I decided to take a hot Hawaiian pizza home with me. The owner, Bill, said it would heat back up nicely and let me tell you, it sure does.!! so my recommendation is never leave that place without one of his specialty pizzas!! A big wow!! An affordable, true meal arrives faster than a drive through chain! Sit down, relax and enjoy! BTW Save room for ice cream ….“

“Big V's Ice Cream is an absolute delight! From the first taste to the last lick, every scoop is a burst of flavor and nostalgia. The atmosphere is cheerful, the service is top-notch, and the ice cream? Simply divine. Whether you're indulging in a classic cone or a towering sundae, Big V's never fails to deliver a sweet escape from reality. A must-visit destination for any ice cream enthusiast!“

“Best strawberry shortcake ever 😋“

“Best ice cream and service for miles and miles!“

“I took my son here and he loved it. He ordered a 3 mini pack which included a lemon, chocolate strawberry, & chocolate chip cookie (his choice from their selection). They have a spot where you can walk up and order or a self serve machine right inside the door.
He loved the lemon the most and is his personal recommendation.
The employees appeared very happy to be there which is always pleasant.
The atmosphere was cute and my goodness it smelled phenomenal <3

Kid-friendliness: They were so sweet and showed him his cookies before boxing them up to ensure he loved them.“

“So worth it, twist n shake is absolutely delicious. 10/10 would recommend“

“The menu was surprising, as (no doubt due to sharing space with a bar) there are available shakes with alcohol. I stayed with the regular kind however. The prices for a regular shake are good, comparable to other nearby places.If there's nobody at the window, check in the bar/restaurant and they should be able to help.“
