24 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.“

“Growing up in the area, I'm used to Handel's, so coming back to the area to visit family, it's always a treat to have a Handel's ice cream anytime if the year.

I tried the Horchata and was pleasantly surprise as I usually only get the mint chocolate chip.

Despite it being about 20°F, the service was on par.“

“Hard to pass by a Handel’s & not pick up any ice cream. My nephew currently loves the cinnamon graham cracker flavor & I opted for a bowl with 2 scoops of ice cream. Both flavors I hadn’t tried before but they were yummy. I bought our dog Poe a pup cup of screams too. They don’t ever disappoint us as there hasn’t been a flavor I didn’t like.

Kid-friendliness: Child size cone or dish.“

“Get a pint that is half lemon bar, half blueberry cheesecake. Thank me later... When it hits the middle, it's like amazing! I can't wait for them to bring back the coconut cream pie. This handles as well as every other one is amazing!“

“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.“

“Doggy cones for the pups!“

“Everything I've had is delicious so we don't even mind the 40 minutes it takes to drive here from our house. I think my husband will cry when it's winter and he can't have his bourbon Carmel pecan ice cream!“

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

“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 😔“

“Amazing locally owned business!!! Welcoming and kind. The owner and his family are great people. Always clean. Always stocked. Accommodating. You honestly can't beat the environment. Please check them out. They deserve all the praise.

Kid-friendliness: Kids will love the array of toppings on display to choose from. Anything from sprinkles to cheesecake bites!“

“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 ice cream! The service was on point♥️“

“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 🍰🎂“

“great food, quite a speedy delivery (I always get the honey BBQ sauced-and-tossed chicken strip basket, always incredible)

Parking: near the front of the store and along the back, can be hard to get out of either when the drive through line is long“

“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“

“I stopped here the other day on lunch to get a break from the heat and grabbed a Triple Berry Smoothie! Great staff and the new place looks great!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great service convenient location“
