31 Best Ice Cream Shops near Youngstown

“Their portions have gotten a lot smaller over the last year. Even a Dairy Queen small portion is larger than Handel’s now. I guess all good things must end.“

“We were visiting from AZ and were excited to see a Handel’s here. The service here was outstanding. We were able to sample various flavors before buying the 4 scoop sampler. It was the perfect amount of ice cream for both of us. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for the best ice cream.“

“We stopped in for an ice cream treat travelling home from Canton. We spent $17.05 for three of us. We were served so much ice cream! I ordered a small chocolate dipped waffle cone with the new cheesecake with Oreo cookie ice so good!! That small was heaped with ice cream. My husband enjoyed blueberry cobbler and lemon bar. He would have enjoyed a bit more blueberry flavor. The lemon was great. My son had a four scoop sampler. He choose fruit flavors. Hd especially enjoyed the pineapple upside down cake and the key lime pie. He was impressed by the whole cherries in pineapple upside down cake!! We do not get to Handel's often, but truly this was a special, great value for money, delicious visit! Thank you.“

“Ate Dessert at Handel's I've Cream at Creekside, in Starrs Corners, Near Canfield. Had two scoops, once scoop Mint Chicolate Chip and one scoop of Chocolate Pecan. All for $4.95. Not a bad price considering the amount of Ice Cream two scoops consists of at Handel's. The people at this branch seem always friendly. Just great cold and creamy Ice Cream! A++ business and Product. Always great service here.“

“My husband and I love handles ice cream and we always go even in the middle of winter o we know what each of their sizes look like...this is not their small. this is half the size of their small. so im not sure what happened today. And honestly, I've never had a problem till today. And it's not going to stop me from coming, just a little disappointed. I am sick and one of the things I wanted was handles ice cream because of their portion sizes.“

“Best ice cream anywhere. chocolate pecan is heavenly.“

“They have the very best ice cream in the area. Well worth the drive from anyplace.
I go to the Girard store all the time.
My favorite place for good tasting ice cream. Nice shady place to sit to get out of the hot sun and enjoy cool ice cream.“

“real annoying paying for extra of something and still not tasting it all. Especially for the price. Just left there, will go to a different location next time. Barely anything in the blizzard. Asked for extra peanut butter sauce, paid for it and is straight vanilla. so disappointed 😞“

“Family owned business with wonderful sweet treats and meal options! A huge menu - if you can’t find something here, you are the problem 😂 never had a bad experience, always friendly faces. Cannot say enough good things.“

“My daughter got us a couple acai bowls. I was not wanting to pay the $17 (upcharge for a few extra add ons)for a bowl but it was our first time trying. I was impressed at how much was in it. I barely could finish. This is definitely our new favorite place for acai bowls. Looking forward to trying other menus item“

“We have liked every flavor we have tried so far!!! Buckeye is my favorite“

“I highly recommend trying this ice cream!! I have been stopping here every day for a couple of years now. I sometimes will stop 2 or even 3 times in a day. I know it’s terrible for my health but hey, I don’t drink alcohol anymore. If you knew me in my younger days, you would be impressed. Lol. Thanks“

“Stopped in for lunch and WOW🤤everything was incredible! Delicious food, great atmosphere, and such a welcoming vibe @Donny Riccitelli!!!!Highly recommend stopping by-you won't be disappointed!“

“If you order a DQ blizzard cake. Expect the staff to give you a week old lobby freezer cake that taste extremely freezer burnt after they scraped the old writing off to put the new writing on and expect the manager to give you an attitude and tell you he won't refund you but give you a voucher for a future cake. It's sad. That DQ use to be really good 😔“

“Best place for a refreshing treat!!!!! Love the green apple and juicy pear ice!!! Thank you for coming to Austintown!!!!“

“This place has some amazing ice cream thats not quite ice cream😂 our youth group absolutely loves this place but we never get done with small group on Wednesday in time to go there cause it closes at 9 on Wednesday 😢
one thing hey Could do is make it so that is closes at 10 every night. That would be greatly appreciated by so many!“

“Nick's DQ is a throwback retro style DQ. He and his team are always friendly and courteous. Some may not agree because they can get overwhelmed at times at peak hours but they will always treat you with the utmost courtesy. My family and our four fur kids made going there a regular event during sunny summer days, and Nick would always be welcoming. Sadly we'll be hard pressed to find another DQ like his, since we're moving. We'll miss the good treats and good times.“

“Amazing! Great prices, too.“

“I just want to thank the management and decorator, they are truly amazing they even went out of their way and came thru for our son’s birthday cake! I hope you have a wonderful new year! Please know you are so appreciated 🍰🎂“

“Best Ice cream around. Quality speaks for itself truly a great yummy experience👍“

“What an amazing selection! Worth the trip if you can get here!“

“I told my husband how fast, friendly, and accurate the drive-thru is. Exceptionally so. We bypass the closer ones because they aren't as consistent. He decided to go there to see. He said now he gets why I keep raving about this location. This is our preferred weekly ice cream destination, and yes, I mean over Handels as well. Great work, Boardman!“

“Even on a stormy & cloudy night, a Dairy Queen visit will bring smiles to everyone faces. I love getting a sundaes but it is also fun to bring home some Cherry dipped Dilly bars & ice cream sandwiches for everyone else. It all disappears way too quickly. lol -We also love getting ice cream cakes for birthday parties & celebrations.

Parking: Parking is located on side & back of building with limited parking

Kid-friendliness: Kids will love their cones, blizzards & sundaes“

“We had so much fun at mini golf. The course was good and challenging in some places and we love Bruster’s.“

“This is the worst DQ in our area. blizzards are always down from the top a few inches. We use to go there all the time and stopped going because of this reason. stopped on April 29 and could not go inside for some reason. tried the blizzard again and same result. Do yourself a favor and go to Canfield, Austintown or Columbiana. Extra nice places.“

“Everything is clean in the store and the cakes look and taste excellent.
I actually live in the next city over, about 15 minutes away, with a DQ in it, and I will drive to this Dairy Queen.
This is the way a Dairy Queen should be run.“

“Worthy of it's 4 Michelin Stars, this DQ is above and beyond laverish! The service is impeccable and unmatched, the wait staff treats you like an old friend. From the woman at the coat check-in, to the chef bringing out the food to thank you for ordering, everyone goes above and beyond. I came here with my wife, (normally it's out of our price range, but I just cashed out my 401k after 42 years at Wells Fargo, keep working on that back swing Pete! You'll get me on the range one day!) Anyways, we come here and even knowing we'll never come again, the staff made sure to know that we deserve just as great service as anyone else!
And don't get me started on the ambiance! A small, dim lit, atmosphere, with a fire that cast a warm reflection on the vintage Robert Mondavi wine collections that stacked the walls, this DQ could not have felt more embraceful. I'd love to thank our personal chef, Montery Stephanõ Giovanni, who dipped my waffle cone into a luscious fountain of the hottest, flowing suede of Belgian chocolate, and to the local farmers of Venezuela who grew the succulent peaches that were harvested for my wife's Peach Cobbler Blizzard. Thank you for the most memorable night of our lives.“

“Sitting in their drive-thru for 30 minutes really brings out the joy in you. Plus when they steady interrupt as you order is the cherry on top of the half melted sunday.. I miss the 90something year olds who used to work there in the 90s. The had zero problems. Yay teenagers!“

“I haven’t been to a DQ for a while. Came in for their chicken strips. These were really good, better than I remembered. The best part was the staff. These were the friendliest group of people I’ve run across in a really long time. Thank you DQ!!“

“Quick drive through service. great food, friendly employees.“
