32 Best Ice Cream Shops near University Heights

“My family and I living coming here after a long hard day of work and/or school...It has that special neighborhood feel, and the employees, (mostly college and high school students), are awesome!“

“I want to give 5 stars, but this was my first time there, and I know from experience that a lot of places are hit and miss with their services, but I was treated really good, and the guy who took my order answered all of my questions without an attitude. I'll definitely return and hope that all of their staff members are as polite 😊 👍🏽“

“I have visited this location quite often. The service is great as it a popular sweet treat. Be ready to wait a few minutes in line for cones and shakes but if you are ok to eat from the container ( which I am) you can go directly to the freezer, pick your favorite and fo straight to the cashier. I often eat and enjoy the sunny day or warm night outside where there are tables for groups or benches for couples.“

“My visit today was on a Sunday at approx 6pm or so. I accidently placed the wrong Sundae order and was willing to eat it anyway, but I thought what the heck I'll just be honest and explain what happened. The staff was nice enough to correct my order and offer the Turtle Sundae I desired which was delicious as usual.

Here is the Plus/Minus on this store:
Plus - The ice cream always tastes delicious; the service is fast and excellent every time. Even if the line is long it always moves fast. The temperature in the dining area is always comfy whether it is hot or cold outside. The dining area is always clean. Lots of delicious flavors and speciaty items like shakes and sundaes. This has become my fave ice cream spot in NEO.
Minus: Approx 6 unruly, loud, disruptive youth arrived near the end of my visit. I wanted to escort them right out the door, fortunately they didn't stay long. Perhaps this is a new trend in Solon because a similar thing happened in nearby Chick-Fil-A Solon a few weeks ago. Oops I spoke too soon, the bad kis came back :(“

“It's hard for us to find a place that provides a few vegan options for my wife (dairy allergy in her case) and this place does! Interesting options too. The ice cream was amazing and everyone was so friendly! Cool place and highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan and dairy free.“

“Nicole was amazing with my kids!! They had the BEST time at her shop and declared it “the best day ever!” We drove up just as Nicole was returning from an event and she was so kind and generous. The Ice Cream Pops and Cookie Sandwiches were delicious! Thanks again!!“

“EXCELLENT!!! [Original] EXCELLENT!!!“

“CASH ONLY!!!

First time stopping in and despite the sign on the door, which we totally didn't see, we soon found ourselves in a minor panic; they only take cash.

I ordered 2 scoops of Rocky Road which was huge! So much that I needed a cup to put it and my sugar cone in. Very generous portion for $6.50.

When I tried to hand my debit card to them I was informed they only take cash. Thank goodness I had $10 stashed in my car.

Other than the payment inconvenience, the ice cream was very good and again, a generous portion. Nice little homemade ice cream shop.

Fun bonus, the white spoon turns blue when in the cold ice cream.“

“My daughter and her friend picked up a coffee gelato for me. It was Divine. Smooth and creamy without any artificial taste. I will be going back again and sometime the stack was wonderful so friendly that you felt like you were having dessert with your family.“

“I’ve been going to Daisy’s since I was a little girl. After the spring musical when going to the school up the street, during the summer on a hot day, and even now. So many memories. I have gotten the same things after all these years, which is vanilla soft serve in a cone with a crunch coat. I have not been able to find it anywhere else. No photos for reference as it is always devoured before a picture can be taken.“

“Glad to wait in line here. They have the recipe for Euclid Beaches’ frozen custard (which they obtained from Coney Island!) Delish! It brings back such sweet memories. Not located in a high traffic area, but the wait for service, based on the crowds that flock there, say differently. If you’re like me you’ll order a large portion. But hold yourself back! It’s too easy for your eyes to tell your stomach you “need” more! We go to East Coast Custard whenever we can. It’s too good to pass by. (From the throngs of people waiting to place their orders, you’ll probably make some new friends, besides.)“

“Im riding past all other ice cream shops and parlors to get my Honey Hut fix. I dont play with the small servings, I go for the large take home packages--I want to savor my creamery for several days, on the couch, in front of my television. 😊“

“The owners make it special ❤️“

“I love this location but at certain times of the day. During the day the customer service is on point!!! But evening / night it’s trash. The younger employees be needing home training before they get a job because their customer service sucks. But anywho during the day, I love this location and the cookies!“

“The ice cream truck really helped make our event successful!“

“My daughter and I went into Crumbl this week and we were so excited to try a new flavor this week! I had the confetti cake cookie and it was a confetti in my mouth of flavors! It was amazing. My daughter grabbed the strawberry cheesecake cake and it looked amazing she took two bites and said it was too sweet for her...insert sad face. Overall it was a good visit outside of the young people that work in the evenings, they never speak when you come in and you have to get their attention for them to help you on top of they act like it's a hassle to help or work at work...the irony in that is insane. Luckily they have multiple locations so we will visit another one in the future.“

“Loved this cute little place when I was young and it's still wonderful! I talked to the owner today and she was very sweet! My husband and I got a chocolate shake and mango sorbet, which were both absolutely delicious. Highly recommend that mango sorbet if you want a really flavorful, fresh fruit tasting treat. It was honestly the best sorbet I've ever tasted. 😋“

“Go see Reid and Shayla ASAP“

“I first came to Graeter's about two years ago in June, and I was immediately drawn to the banana chocolate chip ice cream, only to discover that it was seasonal. The rest of the menu is good - we've never been disappointed - but there's nothing else quite like that flavor for me.
They recently added my beloved banana chocolate chip to the permanent menu. Clearly, Greater's knows what the people want, and they aren't afraid to provide it.“

“Absolutely adorable place with fantastic desserts and bubble tea! Came here for my birthday for a quick bubble tea fix. Got the Blush Rose tea. Absolutely delectable and such a cute atmosphere. I cannot WAIT to get back there and try more things! Also appreciated the gluten free lables on their items :)“

“Great icecream and carrot cake!“

“The ice cream. Their lemon custard was delicious and the service was good.“

“I love it, the best!! In orlando!!“

“Perfect for anytime and now“

“A huge THANK YOU to TIFFANY in the bakery today! She worked with me with ordering my Son’s birthday cake for Saturday. I came in short notice to order. Great customer service and just a kindhearted person. Thank you Tiffany!“

“I placed a last minute order and it didn't effect the pick up time or quality of our order. Our order was ready when we arrived. The store was clean. The staff was friendly! This was our first time ordering from this location, we had a positive experience and we'll surely choose this location in the future!“

“Just tried the sugar free popcycles. A thousand times better than the Popsycle brand!!!!!“

“I had me a Carmel Ribbon Frappe. Really good. I can't make it home with the cookies I eat all of them.“

“Excellent ice cream. Quick and friendly service.“

“My fiancé and I want to thank the entire staff at Vero for an AMAZING experience! The pizza is by far some of the best pizza I have ever had in 40+ years! I will gladly come back from NJ to eat here again! My compliments to the Chef and the staff. We now have a home away from home. As we Italians say GRAZIE TANTE! 🇮🇹🙏“

“I got the oreo ice cream cake. The made it perfectly. Had to adjust my son's name. Everything else was great! The color he chose was great. Didn't even know there were those options. This is why it pays to ask questions. It wasn't even extra for the little things.“

“Ordered a gluten-free strawberry casada cake for my 33 year old nieces birthday...she never had casada despite being a pastry chef! It was awesome! She loved it too because it wasn't overly sweet! Great job 0:-)“
