41 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!“

“Went to get my typical order, reluctant to step out of my comfort zone despite being curious, when Adina helped me navigate towards something creative. I've been going to Mitchell’s for years because I love the flavor of their ice creams. This is the first time I've had such an expansive experience. Adina suggested other flavors that are similar to the one I was leaning towards and her explanation was on point. I ended up trying something completely new and customized. She gave excellent service— I was thoroughly impressed by this young lady.“

“I ordered the cookies and cream + cookie dough ice cream scoops. You can't go wrong with either of those options. Classic flavors with perfect homemade/ old fashioned ice cream parlor taste. Smells like an ice cream parlor when you walk it. So yummy! It's not too busy during the afternoon on week days.“

“Highly addicting.....but we'll worth it“

“A great location with a lot of options (something for everyone 🍦. The staff are always friendly, they move the lines quickly, and the prices are affordable. My favorite is the key lime or berry crumble. They even have already frozen options to pick up and take home.“

“I love getting ice cream here. So many different options. I love getting milkshakes here. I would recommend caramel fudge brownie or good old cookies and cream. The service is always amazing and I am always pleased at the speed in which I receive my ice cream. Pretty pricy though.“

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

“Got chili dogs and fries. The dogs were good, except for the fact they use white onion, which is much hotter and has a different taste than Spanish of red onion. If I would have known, I would have tried different toppings. The fries were good but nothing special. I would go back because the staff were really nice.“

“Great donuts and better ice cream. Would highly recommend this place“

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

“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.“

“This is one of my favorite places to go, I have been coming here since I was in grade school, which literally is right next door to it LOL of course the name has changed.

She has been in business for over 40 years I can't believe it!! I was in town a few days back to visiting family, best ice cream and definitely she has great prices, when I come back to visit I will definitely be stopping there again, this is a must stop and go and if you ask me she's part of Cleveland History, like I said she's been in business for over 40 years, let's keep this Mom and Pop place in business and keep visiting her, I encourage everyone to go you're not going to regret it!“

“Honey hut is my favorite ice cream place in cleveland! I hope we can get another location on the east side“

“If you want good pricing, friendly staff, and good savory or sweet treat tak yourselves to Daisy's! Me and my partner are obsessed with this place. It so wonderful and vibe are incredible! This is their Strawberry Poundcake Sundae and Turtle Sundae!“

“My brother introduced me to this place. He had brought me in on my birthday weekend (8/9). He showed me the menu prior to coming and so I had an idea of what I wanted to order. When we arrived, I had the honor of meeting the owner of the business, Razzi. Such a really cool, chill dude.
Since he wasn't busy at the time, he took the time to show us all the things his business had to offer. He told us where he gets his ice-cream, the ingredients for his waffles, etc. To learn the history of each item was very insightful.

Service: Razzi was very knowledgeable about his food and the things he serves. He was super cool and I love that he is a small minority business owner. He will be seeing me again soon.

Food: I ordered the Cinnaroll waffle with Nutella spread and a scoop of vanilla brown sugar ice-cream. I also got this Matcha Lemonade. Talk about the best waffle I've ever had. It was light, fluffy, with a nice crisp bite to it. Because of it being made by scratch, all the flavors were very well balanced and nothing overwhelmed. I highly recommend ordering the large waffle. The iced Matcha Lemonade (the green drink) was also good. A very healthy drink.

Atmosphere: Calming laid-back vibe. Place to chill and have great food.“

“Amazing ice cream. The facility was clean and well kept and there was nice outdoor seating. The ice cream was amazing and tasted super good. This is my favorite ice cream place I’ve ever been. It was definitely worth the money I paid for it. I go every week, I love it there.“

“love the chocolate or vanilla custard. you can see it being made while standing in line“

“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!“

“I love this store. Everything that comes out of it is delicious. The staff is amazing , always courteous and friendly. I usually do preorders and it’s always ready or just about ready when I get there. Couldn’t be happier with this Crumbl store!!“

“I can't review this any easier than simply saying everything is delicious. Their sundaes are as big as a house, ice cream is yummy, plus the hot dogs are tasty too. Love“

“First visit this evening with a small group of friends, had 14 different menu items, drinks, apps, pizzas and desserts The staff was attentive and swift, a nice back room to sit and relax with friends. Everything we tried was wonderful, the staff was flexible bring the hot honey for the pizza on the side. All five of us left comfortably stuffed . Will absolutely be returning. 10 out of 10 pictures of drinks and dessert, eat the pizza to quickly“

“It’s not fancy, but it is great. A staple in the neighborhood for my entire life. The ice cream is a fair price and the experience is not to be missed.“

“Highly recommend trying! Soo good!“

“We had such a great experience at Graeter’s Ice Cream in Pinecrest! From the service to the variety of flavors and the overall vibe, everything made for a really enjoyable dessert stop.

The staff was super nice, energetic, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. They were friendly and helpful while we were deciding what to get, and you could tell they really enjoy what they do.

They had a great selection of ice cream flavors to choose from, and you could get them in cups or waffle cones. They even had plain waffle cones and chocolate waffle cones, which was a nice touch and gave plenty of options depending on what you’re in the mood for.

The portion sizes were really good, and the ice cream itself tasted very fresh and creamy. Some of the flavors we tried included black raspberry chip and cookies and cream, and both were delicious.

Overall, we really enjoyed our visit. Great flavors, great service, and a really fun dessert experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Sugar free ice cream“

“This ice cream place is about a mile or so. They have generous portions of ice cream and soft custard. It's a small business, which I love to support over evil mega corporations if possible. The prices are reasonable for the amount of ice cream you get and the ice cream is good. Nothing fancy, just good treats done well. They do a lot for the local community. If you're in the area, support them instead of larger ice milk places. You can have a sweet treat and feel good about where your money is going.“

“Great ice cream, great service!!“

“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!“

“First and foremost- I am incredibly lactose intolerant therefore this review is not reflectant of how anything tastes.
Leaving a review for the professionally and kindness of the staff. The cake decorator was awesome and able to do something a little untraditional for me.
Overall very friendly and nice. I'd get another cake here for sure.“

“great pies!!! will be placing another order!!!!“

“The mochi donut are so good, really satisfying texture and taste and It’s not too sweet! Matcha and Ube ones were my favorite.The cakes tasted meh and dry even though they looked good. The drinks are very refreshing and the interior is cute and comfortable there’s also tables right outside to sit. I always stop by when I’m in the area.“

“The food here is generally good & served hot & fresh but the best thing about this DQ location is their fast & efficient service especially as it pertains to moving customers very quickly through the drive-thru window. I'm currently obsessed w/ their eggnog milkshake but all of their sweet treats are delicious! 😋😊“
