17 Best Ice Cream Shops near Lakeside Marblehead

“Love stopping by every time we are camping! Great treats and friendly service! 😁“

“Had a peach smoothie! It was delicious. The staff, while I don’t think they were happy about it lol, stayed open past closing time to complete the long line of people. It was definitely appreciated since there aren’t many drink and food options in the off season.“

“On our first visit to Lakeside we were so impressed with the customer service at the Whistle Stop Ice Cream. The place is teeny tiny, probably only fits 8-10 customers at one time, but the service is quick and very friendly. The women working the shop recognized my 9 year old son's non verbal autism and immediately engaged with him in an informed and appropriate way. They pointed to the ice cream containers to make sure they were scooping the one he was choosing and they watched his body language cues to understand that he wanted to add sprinkles to the top of his treat. As a special needs family, that kindness and understanding is so appreciated. Other information to add- They were serving Toft's ice cream when we were there, they also have Dole Whips, popcorn and Slushies. Since the place is so tiny there are no bathrooms, no inside seating, there was a bench outside. Prices were fair market value for a small shop. Cash and Check only.“

“Amazing people. Comforting and fun vibe. Beautiful art on the walls. Fresh "eat the rainbow" food. The best darn chicken salad in Ohio!“

“They have so many flavors of ice cream. My favorite is Bourbon brown butter truffle and lemon blueberry cheesecake. I like going here after leaving Cedar Point, but I wish it was open a bit later because it’s often closed after I leave the park. You can also buy 1.5 q sized containers of ice cream!“

“mikey’s is an amazing place! they even play a guessing game so every person gets a chance to get their froyo for free! staff is always friendly and helpful. also very clean. even better, they support small businesses and collaborate on many events and promos! i would recommend this place to anyone wanting a sweet treat in the 419!“

“Only one employee on Valentine’s Night - the place was packed but the young woman was doing her best. She was efficient and courteous- most people her age would not have handled themselves so well. She deserves a raise!!!“

“i took my kids out for a banana split today. The man and woman working were very nice to my children! thankyou“

“Every day I was on the island, I bought a sundae and ate it on the patio under the trees. Also, asking for water, gets you your own glass bottle and a glass to drink it. Makes for lovely summer days. 🍨“

“Amazing at everything they do !!!!!“

“The ice cream here is always delicious. There was a long line upon arrival but they moved through it pretty quickly. The young woman at the window who took our order was very friendly as well. Have been going there for 30+ years and will continue to for hopefully another 30+.“

“This is our 12th year coming to Kelleys & Papa T’s Ice Cream EVERY night our entire week long trip is THE highlight for our family group of 29! Delicious, superb view & friendly service! Thank you Papa T & staff for being a part of our Island traditions!“

“Great family owned business, everyone hustling to make it a success.“

“Picked up dinner tonight for the family and boy, did it not disappoint!! Everything was delicious! The pizza and cheese bread was demolished so fast as I expected lol The salad was exactly what I wanted for a post-Christmas crunch, and the wings my husband nearly inhaled so I can’t review those personally lol but I will next time! Thanks for a delicious dinner and great conversation! We’ll be back soon!!“

“Unbelievable value for food that fills you up and leaves you wanting more. Be it the pizza, the subs, the wings or appetizers you are getting a dish crafted with care. My favorite is the chicken Alfredo sub and fries 🍟 . My wife loves the taco pizza 🍕 🌮 and my kids love for the cheese pizza followed by a Reese’s ice cream 🍦 If you haven’t you, you should, if you are thinking about it, you must! Kyle & Tony and crew deliver every time!“

“Place used to be decent last year. We would all call ahead and order like 2/3 times a week for lunch.. lately weve been going and our foods has been undercooked, or wrong, or the bills wrong.. i hope i can change this soon like my boy patty said

Update- much better guality and service“

“No frills spot for basic food and yummy desserts. My kiddos and I went to four different ice cream or frozen yogurt places in Sandusky. HERE is where they chose to come back to on our last night! We just had their simple soft serve, but it was spot on!“
