19 Best Ice Cream Shops near Fort Erie

“Maplewood is truly a foodie’s dream and one of the absolute best things to happen in Crystal Beach! Every single flavor is made fresh on site with so much care, and you can really taste the difference. It’s one of those places where you have to try more than one flavor because each one is just that good. My family’s forever favorite is the blueberry cheesecake, but the stracciatella will honestly blow your mind. I also love that they honor Crystal Beach’s history with unique flavors like loganberry swirl—such a thoughtful touch. What makes Maplewood extra special is the owner herself—she pours her heart into this business, listens to customer feedback, and keeps surprising us with new, creative flavors. She couldn’t be kinder or more welcoming. This is more than just a treat spot—it’s a community gem that deserves all the love and support. An absolute must-visit!“

“The best gelato 🍨 I’ve had in the niagara region, I love this place it’s so good and so worth it!“

“Highly recommend a visit or several to Nicky 2 Scoops, we head over quite frequently for delicious and affordable ice cream treats for the family. We love the atmosphere and that there is a bonus program for frequent flyers like us to earn some cash back towards future purchases. We also recently rented the space for our daughters birthday party, the owners let us customize the space to our liking and offered an affordable party space so the whole extended family could attend comfortably & enjoy the ice cream with us! We will definitely use the space again for future parties 🎉 The owners are super friendly and very accommodating! Love it!“

“I would love to give a very positive review but as of right now I cannot every time I go to the hertel location there always out of milk . the regular ice cream is great but I only do milkshakes cause I drive alot please fix y'all's problem of running out of milk.“

“I go to Anderson’s on Sheridan almost every Monday or Wednesday for lunch. I’m a creature of habit and always get the same thing. Beef on weck, hot sauce on the side, large fry. As soon as I walk up to the register, the super friendly staff already knows my order and name! They’ve even carried my food out to my table for me on a slower day for them! I’ve never had a bad experience. The staff is friendly, food is great, service is quick, even when they are understaffed- nobody is ever just standing around. I’d recommend going to the Sheridan Drive Anderson’s to anyone! And order whatever you want! You can’t go wrong!“

“I've been going here ever since I could remember, and everytime the experience is just amazing, fast service, welcoming environment and unique flavors!“

“Very Cute Local Neighborhood Ice Cream Shop with very reasonable prices and nice sitting area to enjoy“

“Wow! What a treat! We are from Kansas and it's great be greeted with kindness! My daughter got a little confused, but the employee inside walked her through what was good.
Combined with the nice cool weather, great CUSTOMER SERVICE and DELICIOUS Waffle bowls, we definitely recommend 2 Scoops!
Dessert was so good, forgot to take photos.
1. Mint Chocolate Chip waffle bowl.
2. Bittersweet Symphony, Cookies and Cream and Brownie Batter Waffle Bowl.
3. Bittersweet Symphony
Very affordable and relaxed at the picnic tables by the roadside!“

“An absolute must-visit in Kenmore! We just had our first experience at King Condrell's, and WOW—this place is a dessert dream come true! From the moment we walked in, the retro charm and sweet smell of chocolate had us hooked. We ordered a little bit of everything: the iced frozen chai was perfectly spiced and refreshing, the princess chocolate pop was adorable and delicious, and the birthday cake ice cream tasted like a slice of heaven! But the real star? The build-your-own ice cream dish. We chose chocolate peanut butter brownie ice cream and loaded it with Reese’s, KitKat, hot fudge, and whipped cream—and it was every bit as indulgent and amazing as it sounds. What makes it even better? Everything is made from scratch—you can taste the difference. And to top it all off, the incredibly kind owner gave my daughter a free lollipop, which absolutely made her day. The staff was friendly, the treats were over-the-top in the best way, and we’re already planning our next visit. Whether you're craving ice cream, chocolate, or just a fun place to treat yourself—King Condrell’s is IT. 🍦🍫👑“

“Learned about Golden Hour Treats on Grubhub when I typed in ice cream. Oh boy! I had a banana split which was the best I've ever had. The boys had the cotton candy ice cream and were very happy. I then went back in 2 days and had the banana pudding. I intended to eat a few bites and save the rest...well that didn't happen! Delicious!! Atmosphere is clean and the staff are nice if a little slow. It's definitely worth a trip.“

“Very good food. Lots to choose from and the frozen custard is so yummy!“

“Went with a friend and ordered two scoops of a Perry's (less than $5) and it was the perfect cool down treat! The service was prompt and the staff professional. They also have an large food menu, but that will have to be for another visit/review. The parking lot can feel a little cramped, but it's a nice spot with outdoor seating.“

“Watson's has become a go-to part of my weekly self-care routine. Cashier James is the picture of customer service, warmth, and generosity. Large ice cream portions, delicious chocolates (available by the piece or pound), great hours, and affordable pre-Elmwood-surge pricing. I couldn't recommend Watsons more!“

“Great spot for ice cream and a dog!!“

“Quick, friendly service & IMO THE best ice cream around!!“

“Great ice cream. The shop is very clean and the lady working was very kind. Perfect experience.“

“I love Watson’s Chocolates. I have so many meaningful memories from this place. When I was in pre-school at St. Paul’s down the street, my Papa would bring me to Watson’s after school if I was good. I remember loving picking out some chocolates or the colorful gummy orange slices. I still love going to Watson’s. The sponge candy is my favorite. :)“

“Love the service and the selection. Even when their line up is around the corner they always seem to be in a chipper mood. They always have a huge selection of ice cream unless it's a heat wave on a weekend which would, of course, would increase the demand lol
They've become a staple in Crystal Beach that my kids and I look forward to many a summer visit every year.“

“We had the gelato cart come to our wedding! It was such a fun treat. Our guests absolutely loved it! The gelato is absolutely delicious and perfect for cooling off from our dance floor! Frankie is such a great human, and we were so happy to have him there!“
