50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Bristol

“I've been here a few times now and habe the pleasure of Kiki walking me through the options they have all with a bubbly personality and she made the process of ordering very simple. When she asks you if you'd like a cookie with it, dont refuse. She couldnt have made the experience better and her knowledge was greatfully helpful. As a whole you can tell the store cares deeply about thier Italian heritage. Its amazing to see.“

“Amanda was amazing. She was all alone working and it was very busy. She handled it like a pro. Not only did she do her job very well but she did it with joy! She made our experiences great and exceeded our expectations! Thank you Amanda! You should get a bonus for working alone on a busy night!“

“The service was awesome. The ice cream was also amazing. The place looks great and it makes us feel at home.while we were waiting they gave us popcorn no charge. Definitely try salted caramel and mint chocolate chip.“

“One of the best ice cream spots around! From the moment we arrived, the service was friendly, welcoming, and fast. They offer a great variety of flavors, and everything tasted fresh and high quality.

My absolute favorite was the Mango Water Ice it was incredibly refreshing, packed with real mango flavor, and had the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. The texture was smooth, light, and perfect for a hot day. It’s definitely one of the best mango water ice treats I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to come back and try more flavors, but the Mango Water Ice will always be my first choice.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious frozen treat!“

“I live walking distance from a Rita's water ice but choose to drive 15-20min to Mom's because they are better in every way than Rita's! They give bigger sizes and prices are cheaper and they have so much more selection of homemade ice cream, soft serve ice cream, and water ice in so many different flavors and combinations and Sundaes and Gelatis and milkshakes! Whatever you want, they got it!!! 👍🏼🍦🍨🍧🥤“

“I’ve had the best experience ever with this place. I’m Brazilian and also from the state of pará there, the state where true açaí is produced, and King of açaí was the closest to that I’ve ever tried here in the US. Finding them in my town was the best gift I’ve could’ve gotten!! Love love love them!“

“We don't often go to the S Olden Ave location but we were pleasantly surprised with the top notch service we received tonight. The two young ladies working there tonight were both very pleasant and friendly, seemed generally interested in providing great service and did a delicious job making our sundaes. We've had less then good service at other local Carvel locations. Very glad we tried going there again.“

“This is my favorite place for frozen treats. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, the atmosphere is delightful whether you get take-out or eat your treats at a table. I'm happy they have not closed for the season and I hope that doesn't change. I missed Peachwave all last winter!“

“I love bringing my grandchildren here!“

“I love mixing flavors and trying new flavors. Blueberry will always be my favorite original flavor though.“

“*Edited - original review was for a different location, i am so sorry**

Location is great! Staff is friendly and their product is wonderful. Their variety of custard flavors blew me away. Our local location only ever has chocolate and vanilla. High recommended this Ritas!“

“great ice cream. Great family run business.“

“We came here last night around 8:00 for the first time and it did not disappoint. The ice cream was delicious and the servings are BIG. I got a small sundae which looked more like a medium/large. The cashier all the way to the right near the soft serve machines was very sweet and helpful and made some really good recommendations.“

“Such fun and unique ice cream shop!“

“Last Dairy Queen in the area. Great icecream and other cold treats. Very friendly staff who have worked there for years! Hurry up and visit before they close for the winter.

Parking: Large free parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome.

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right up to the window and order.“

“The other day I went with my family since we were passing through, and I hadn't really tried Rita's so much but such a kind girl called Zareli made my family and I have a great experience, she recommended the frozen ice cream and it was really very good, I would go back once again because thanks to the kind girl I had a great experience“

“Great choice for ice cream, soft serve, water ice and shakes. They have a ton of topping choices and many different cones. The service is also always good. I gave them 4 stars because they only take cash, but still a great place for ice cream!“

“I have always loved this place but my most recent experience yesterday makes me love it even more. I took my granddaughters out for ice cream and didn’t realize they closed at 9 and we got there at 9 and staff were walking out and I asked if they were closed. They said yes but if I wanted hand-dipped ice cream or water ice they would get it for me. I said oh thank you but we all wanted soft serve. I got back in my car and the owner walked over and said you want soft serve come on I’ll get it for you. He turned the lights back on and made the soft serve himself. We all enjoyed as always from here. What great customer service that is rare these days. Thank you!!“

“Crumbl Cookies in Bensalem is absolutely worth the visit! The cookies are huge, fresh, and perfectly baked slightly crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. I love that they rotate flavors every week, so there’s always something new and exciting to try. Every cookie looked amazing and tasted even better.

The store was clean, smelled incredible as soon as we walked in, and the staff was friendly and efficient even when it was busy. Perfect spot for a sweet treat, dessert night, or bringing a box home to share with family and friends. Definitely one of the best cookie experiences around!“

“I have only compliments for the cookies at Crumbl. The large size, the fabulous and always changing selection of cookies - each more delicious than the last. A 4-pack will provide a very satisfying dessert for 4 (or more) people. The staff at Newtown is very friendly and personable; the store is immaculate, the service is quick. Stop in once and I am sure you will return.“

“No matter when or what time of the day I stopped there everyone was pleasant and had the best customer service skills. If they didn’t have what I wanted which was rare Bryan would make it for me in minutes. So sad today there done. Have a safe winter see you all in the spring. Ps other Rita’s are open for a lil longer but other Rita’s definitely don’t taste like Bryan’s Rita’s.“

“Love all there vegan options“

“Outstanding worker's. always so nice. Best Rita's around“

“Great service.“

“I’ve been going to. Bruster’s shops for almost 20 years between Florida and now Trevose and the flavors never disappoint! Creamy and delicious homemade ice cream and yummy cakes if you so choose. There’s a flavor for everyone but my favorite is Espresso Yourself, Graham Central Station, New York Cheesecake, and the classic Cookies and Cream. You really can’t go wrong with any of them! The handmade in store waffle cones are to die for! Treat yourself to a tasty treat!“

“Best ice cream parlor around. You ask for extra, they give your extra!! No halfsies. I've tried other places and they ALWAYS disappoint. Gibbys NEVER does!!“

“I had the Reese’s Peanut Butter Mudslide, and it was good

The two girls at the counter in the evening of the Fourth of July were very nice and friendly

Four stars instead of 5 only because it was more expensive than I anticipated it would be – for about the same price, it feels like Coldstone provides a little more ice cream“

“I've always loved Rita's! my daughter got to finally enjoy a piece of heaven from my childhood. Family of 7. 4 of them experienced Rita's for the first time ever. We make it our mission to go twice before we leave.“

“The nice young guy who served is on Sunday 6/2 just after opening could not have been more attentive and nice. A second employee came and he was just as good when I asked him for lids. He made sure I had the right size. Both a pleasure. Our gelatos were done perfectly as well!“

“Hello? Red Berry? I answered.

Walked in expecting frozen yogurt. Walked out with enlightenment. The yogurt was smoother than my phone calls, the toppings were stacked higher than my missed calls, and every bite had me saying, “Who let them cook?”

The staff were friendly, the place was clean, and the flavors were so good I almost forgot I had to call someone.

If John Pork recommends a frozen yogurt shop, you know it’s serious.

5/5. I’ll be calling again.“

“Very nice staff and the ice was great!!!“
