25 Best Ice Cream Shops near Dublin

“Rain or shine, Nina’s in Dublin is always a good time. We stopped by to enjoy the beautiful weather and sat under the covered patio. To our surprise, we met one of the owners passing out freshly baked soft pretzels that we couldn’t pass on. Then we moved on to my husband’s favorite waffles and ice cream treat~delicious and not to miss. Definitely worth stopping by this friendly, family-owned spot!“

“Beautifully decorated birthday cake! Everyone I dealt with was very polite and friendly. Thank you again!!“

“Literally everything here is good. This is by far the best pretzel place I've ever been to.“

“Always great ice cream! The staff is always friendly and even if there’s a line it is always worth it!“

“What a beautiful candy shop and a perfect place to buy gifts for mom! Every mother on your list will appreciate the chocolates you chose especially for her. My chocolates were carefully packed in white boxes and tied with gorgeous ribbons. I’m so pleased I visited Raymer’s!“

“It feels like home ♥️ you feel so loved here“

“Finally made it here and it did not disappoint. The flavor selection gave me enough choices to cause a dilemma of what to pick. The serving size was generous and everything was delicious. The service sealed the deal making everything top-notch. I'll be going back for more.“

“Thank you for offering the Pup Cup“

“Really, really good hand dipped ice-cream. Prices aren't too bad either. The inside is a little tight so if there is a line you are shoulder to shoulder with people. Plenty of parking and a nice outdoor seating area on benches in the shade.“

“I run events at Van Lieus Brewery and we had a start of summer party! We wanted to serve the community water ice on us and I cannot rave enough about Abundance Water Ice!! The kindest people with water ice so good that I had to go back for seconds. Highly recommend and looking forward to future events with them“

“One of my favorite places to go for ice cream. I love that it's made from local farms. The staff are very friendly! I love being able to try a sample of all the fun flavors before making a commitment (which is never easy to do since everything tastes great). Their brownies are my favorite too!“

“I’ve been going here for years now and hands down the BEST water ice around. I’ve had so many different flavors and they are all delicious, better than Rita’s for sure. They added a newer flavor since I went last, lavender wildberry, and it is my all time favorite now. Prices are very reasonable, too.“

“Ice cream is absolutely delicious the people that work there are very clean very nice very loving just a little pricey for a little container you should make your own ice cream that place will be a gold mine yes it's a lot of work but a lot more profit“

“They could not be kinder! They are amazing with my daughter’s allergy. Instead of rushing her when she takes forever they act like she made a master creation ❤️ They even gave her a t shirt.“

“I was impressed with Annie's the first time we tried it after moving to Doylestown. It's not fair off the Main Street in Doylestown and makes it easy if you want to walk down to the shop or drive in with plenty of parking. There is a nice deck area with plenty of seating to sit down and enjoy your water ice and ice cream. The staff is always friendly and has quick service. It is a local favorite of my family and want them to always be around!“

“Summertime must! How to keep cool.“

“No complaints here. It's convenient- right off 611. It's affordable-large banana shake (yummy BTW) for around $5 50 and it's a local small business - gotta support local businesses. We go a few times a month and have never been disappointed. It's clean, well staffed, the serving sizes are generous for the money we pay and it always tastes great. Plus, I use the Dairy Queen app to get free treats and special deals. Sorry no pictures cause I'm always too busy eating my large vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles. Happy tastes good ?.“

“Updating: I didn't expect anything to come of my first review, but was honestly surprised. I appreciate Hickory Sticks for correcting the issue with the mistakes/miscommunication that happened with the chocolate. Like I said before the ice cream was delicious!!!

Old:
I will start by saying the ice cream was delicious.. peanut butter pie 👌👌👌..but here is my reasoning for the 1 star.

1. The paper was stuck to the waffle cone and I had to throw out the bottom 1/4 of my cone which made me sad because I wanted to eat all of it for the price. I did not want to eat paper.

2. They had these containers of 10-12 toffees and chocolate covered PB pretzels on display. We got a container of each. No price. They rang up 18 Dollars each. 18 Dollars!!! No warning or head ups. Just $18 each.

3. Now if these items tasted amazing for $18 I would not be complaining. Buttt.... The fresheness was not there. The peanuts on the almond butter crunch were stale and the pretzels was not good either.

I wish I could say more positives but I can't. Never been more sad on a trip to get ice cream.... $60 later 😭“

“I don’t live here full time but I visit my family often and Nina’s Waffles has become my favorite ice cream spot. Every time I come in the girls working are so sweet welcoming and genuinely pleasant which always makes the experience even better. The ice cream is consistently amazing and truly some of the best I have ever had and you can tell they really care about what they are serving. It is one of those places I look forward to visiting every time I am in town“

“Able to eat outside & ice cream was great!“

“It's not the biggest DQ, but it does have like 6 tables inside and the staff is generally very nice. I am pretty sure (about 80%) they don't serve food other than ice cream and other frozen treats. So, don't come looking for burgers and such. That's really all it would take to make this 5 star.“

“Hoagiefest has arrived in Richlandtown! I just finished a delicious turkey hoagie that was not only packed with turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and hot peppers on a great roll but at a great price! Service was fast and the young man taking my order was friendly, polite, and too honest for his own good. I will definitely be making at stop here weekly this summer.“

“My husband and I went to Meadowlark Bakery and Cafe this morning after learning that they hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for those who needed a place to go. We try to support places that support those in the community and do good. We’ve been there before for coffee and pastries, which are amazing, but we never had any other food. We have been missing out! We both got a breakfast sandwich and they were amazing! My biscuit was light and buttery, our eggs were perfectly fried, and both sandwiches had generous amounts of breakfast meat and came with tots. They had a wonderful Santa for the kids and a nice warm enclosed area for eating. Meadowlark, thank you for being a part of our community and helping those in need. It does not go unnoticed and we will absolutely be back to support you, your business, delicious food, and the good you are doing!“

“We love coming here, especially on hot days. The girl Megan working was awesome and has great customer service. The boys love trying all the flavors and it’s always clean and can tell the owner/ workers really care!!“
