50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Westerville

“The best gelato I have had! Great atmosphere and always so friendly.“

“Really good ice cream and very friendly staff. Cant wait to try the other flavors.“

“We were staying in Columbus for a few days and I happened upon this little gem. Had a lemon whittie on Wednesday afternoon, another one on Thursday evening and a s’mores whittie Friday morning for breakfast. I have no regrets. If I’m ever in this area again I will most definitely swing by for the best ice cream sandwiches I’ve ever enjoyed! Top notch!“

“Great experience! Friendly service and good recommendations! Will return!“

“Amazing peanut butter and marshmallow flavours“

“It's been a little while since I have been in but my husband got me the most delicious ice cream cake for my birthday here. Unlike DQ that is all ice cream with the fudge and cookie in the middle, Coldstone cakes have actual cake and ice cream. Mine also had a delicious ganache-like frosting. Would def get one again.“

“The food was quality, but could have more flavor. The service was friendly, but could have a bit more forwardness by welcoming you as you come in the door and asking if you have ever been there and offering assistance with how everything works, rather than the customer feeling confused and having to ask. The atmosphere is clean and seems well managed, it just needs to be a bit more polished. It is a bit pricey, however, in the correct demographics it will do well. If the flavors of the week were posted in the window with a large bold font, so it can be seen while driving by it would bring more traffic through their doors.“

“Awesome service, great tasting yogurt as always! Thank you!“

“We live on the east side of Columbus and have 3 Dairy Queens close to us, but we often make the drive to go to the Westerville Dairy Queen. The staff is always so nice and cheery and the service is quick! I love that it is locally owned and has that "family feel". Highly recommend!“

“I could not recommend this place enough! They went above and beyond to help us celebrate our youngest birthday. We are from out of town and had a friend tell us about it. Their shakes were by far the tastiest I have ever had and even my kids would agree. It was hard to just pick two flavors but I will have to say s’mores take the win! If I am ever back in the area we will have to stop by again.“

“This place is a hidden gem in Northern Lights and it had been since I was a kid. The prices are reasonable and the food and snacks are great. The owner is a great guy and he cares about the community. Def recommend if you want to check out a cool local spot that’s been around for years.“

“I have eaten here a couple of times and tried something different each time. Everything is GOOD! Best ramen in town!“

“discovered this place by accident. and it is easily the best ice cream place we have been too. and the kids love it toooo!!!“

“The best ice cream 🍦 you could ever eat! And the Jeni’s smell once you walk in…fresh waffle cone so so yummy!“

“So many unique and delicious flavors that can't be found anywhere else in Central Ohio or even the Midwest. Truly a local gem. Love that you can get samples and figure out which ice cream you like best before ordering. We live a solid half an hour away and come as often as we can during ice cream season because it's worth it! :)“

“The BEST, most authentic, and delicious gelatos you can find in Ohio are right here in the Columbus area! They are made with love and the best ingredients. They are all absolutely fantastic! You must go and experience the true taste of Italy. Your life will be forever changed! I highly recommend these gelatos!“

“We had a wonderful experience. The staff was amazing and the quality of the ice cream was exceptional. We will definitely return!“

“Walked in before the first time, the gentleman working behind the counter was talking to me and found out that it was my birthday in a couple days and gave me a beautiful Sunday for free. Couldn't ask for nicer people and a beautiful place to get your sweets and treats. PS it was one of the best Sundays I have ever had in my life.

Kid-friendliness: Every kid in the whole world wants to come to this place. ?

Wheelchair accessibility: Very large doors to get in and out of“

“The speakeasy is a really cool little novelty bar. They mostly specialize in mixed drinks, with a limited beer selection, and nothing on draft. The whole place probably seats only 10 people.

The first time I went they were playing 90s music videos and the second time some electronic music off SoundCloud. This isn't a place you haunt (mainly due to the limited seating) but if you're looking for a fun place to stop in for a beer or two, I would highly recommend checking it out.

The thing keeping it from 5 stars for me is probably the beer selection, which seemed to be missing some of the bar staples.

I have not had the ice cream here but I'll likely be back with the kids some day to try it.“

“Whit's in New Albany, OH is my favorite Whit's for frozen custard & Pies. I go there often and enjoy the friendliness of the owner & the staff. The freezer's are always filled with so many varieties. It's hard to make a choice. I buy several of my favorites & take them to my family, out of town - who are not lucky enough to live close to a Whit's. I still don't know if they are excited to see me or the Whit's custard :-) but we all enjoy it. Family I'll be bringing some to you soon!“

“Ice cream was delicious. Best part: my wife has a sever peanut allergy and they were nice enough to get a fresh scoop and tub of ice cream. She didn’t have to worry about cross contamination for which we were very thankful. Would recommend to anyone!“

“Fabulous Ice cream and fun evening with my guy“

“The restaurant was clean and had a nice family atmosphere. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. The blackened chicken was delicious. The Gelato was equally delicious. I tested a few different flavors of gelato, then settled on the Lemon Cake and Mora. We will definitely visit again!“

“I always come here and the cookies are always amazing but today they were overcooked and dry. But other than today they are always so good and i 100% recommend!!“

“Ritzys is the perfect smash burger place. It’s a classic, simple smash burger done perfectly. From the melty cheese over a slightly crispy burger edge to crispy shoestring fries, this place is a very nostalgic. It’s also a reasonable drive from anywhere in the city. The staff is super friendly and fast, and the food is so craveable.“

“Great place, Delicious food, and the owner is very friendly. Recommend you open up your business in Findlay too. 😊“

“Have you had a puffle lately? What's holding you back? CRMD is the only store I've found with puffles -- a made-to-order waffle with especially large, puffy bits, served warm wrapped around great ice cream! I had scoops of Buckeye and Salted Choco Prez, but the possibilities are endless.Give it a try. Your tummy will be very happy.“

“Delicious! Cookie dough is my favorite. The best deal is the grab and go quart. Highly recommend!“

“Wow! My mom and I had a craving for something sweet and Crepe Town came up. We were welcomed in and the area was clean. We had the brownie roll and the Fruity crepe. No pictures because we couldn't wait to dive in! Everything was made fresh and was plated so beautifully. We don't live in the area but will drive to go again. Such a great experience!“

“One of the best chocolate stores around.. I love the interactions my kids have with Dan and the store. He's one of the most kind hearted people I've met. Brought us in and treated us like family.. highly recommend this place.. we go at least once or twice a week for some good chocolate and good conversations!“

“Definitely won't be hungry leaving there!!! Don't want a huge milkshake they have smaller options see picture and cones too!!“

“I am a huge fan of Whit’s and especially the Sunbury location!! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted and tended to quickly. I had a lot of questions and they answered all of them with enthusiasm. The owner keeps the place very clean and you can tell goes above and beyond to provide a positive experience for the staff and customers. I highly recommend this place to all my friends and family!! Keep up the amazing work!“

“This drive thru restaurant is awesome. I ordered fish sandwich and fries and wow!! So good. Go get ya some :-)“

“First off, the ice cream was delicious (and that is admittedly what you come here for :) Not runny, but still creamy and with great flavor. The downside to this location is that they have very little seating (indoor or outdoor) and the store was not as clean as I would have liked. It had smudges on the glass, some trash on the floor, and a broken ice cream cone on the sidewalk in front of the entrance. To give the benefit of the doubt, we visited on National Ice cream Day so perhaps they have been busy all day, but they certainly were not swamped when we stopped by.“

“Best I have ever had. And, I'm 75. The Mocha is awesome. Will be going there again and again. My friend had Coffee and Coconut and she said it's better than anything she's ever had at Graeters!“

“This grocery store is a true gem in Bethel Road. Their homemade pastries and sweet treats like Zoolbia are delicious, but the real standout is their daily fresh Taftoon bread—a flatbread that’s the best I’ve ever had outside of Iran. I often buy it to serve with Persian meals, and it’s also perfect for a traditional breakfast with bread, feta cheese, and mixed herbs like mint, parsley, cilantro and radish.
The atmosphere is welcoming, and the owner is a genuinely nice and polite man who always greets customers with a smile and is eager to help.
If you’re looking for Afghan or Persian basics or just want to enjoy some amazing and fresh homemade bread and pastries, this is the place to go. Definitely five stars!“

“Honestly the best donuts in Columbus. Get there early and be willing to try some new flavors. Employees are always so friendly and helpful!“
