38 Best Ice Cream Shops near Nazareth

“Great ice cream cute little establishment.“

“I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the young staff working tonight at the Rita’s Italian Ice in Nazareth around 8 PM.

The lines were very long, orders were constant, and the warmer weather was clearly making things even more difficult with the ice and custard melting so quickly. Despite the pressure, the young employees were doing the best they could to keep up.

Unfortunately, I noticed some customers giving them a hard time when mistakes happened. In my opinion, that wasn’t fair. These are very young workers who were clearly trying their best in a really challenging situation, especially during one of the first warm evenings of the season.

They seemed overwhelmed and could definitely use more support during busy times like this. Still, they continued working hard and staying polite with customers.

I just wanted to make sure whoever manages the Nazareth Rita’s knows that the kids working tonight were doing an incredible job on what seemed like an impossible night. They deserve recognition for their effort and professionalism.“

“I’ve been wanting to leave a review for Emily’s Ice Cream. Their homemade hard ice cream is creamy and I’ve tried so many yummy flavors. I’ve learned to call ahead if I’m craving something specific bc they rotate their flavors, but they always have something I enjoy. I rather have fresh ice cream constantly being made and have to request a favorite than have every flavor sitting in a freezer for months. What made me finally leave a review today was actually due to their soft serve. They have recently bought a new machine that has the lightest creamiest soft serve. I was not expecting the change when I ordered. Emily’s has always been known for their soft serve vanilla flavor, but nothing tops it now.“

“fresh, creative, amazing employees!!! thank you so much“

“My family and I absolutely love the ice cream here! Owners are always so sweet and personable! My 3 year old always loves to stop by and visit!“

“They have the best ice cream and shakes. They are a little expensive but well worth it. We've gone there for years and are regulars. Tonight was kind of shocking. We got a bunch of take out and 1/2 gallon of peanut butter Fresh banana ice cream. We got home and it was freezer burned. We gave them a call and they said, " thanks for letting us know" so in the garbage it went. I don't really understand how that's possible because everything is fresh. Of course we'll still go but won't be buying anything to bring home again.“

I am absolutely obsessed with their Honey Lavender. 💜 Every flavor we’ve tried has been amazing, and the atmosphere is just as sweet—fun, cozy, and warm.
Definitely a new favorite spot! 🍨✨“

“We hired Anthony to cater the dessert at my kid’s college graduation party. It was perfect. All 50 guest made sure to get a treat! At one point my family waited in a line! It was great. Anthony is a very kind and friendly man. We had our little issues with schedules prior but I’m not uptight about that stuff. Life’s too short! At the event…perfection!!“

“All ice cream is very good, have been coming here for awhile now. There is one concern I have. I saw the owner putting his bare hands in the pop corn machine and eating out of his hands. Being I am a longer time health care provider, I see quite a bit and am very conscious of keeping things clean. In addition, there were no clean tables, had to eat the ice cream outside or in the car.“

“Goto for ice cream in this area !!“

“This step back in time is a real gem and iconic place in our area that has been there for a long time. I’ve been eating this food for 55 years and it’s exactly the same way It was in the seventies .Inexpensive menu compared to other fast food places and always hot when you get it.Large ice cream menu, excellent milk shakes. Over all very good ingredients, great people.A walk back in time that you will enjoy.“

“sugar free options !!! who knew ? lots of fun crazy flavors and toppings . hit the spot on a hot day 🙂“

“My granddaughter and I stopped here on our way to our new apartment. I got her a cup and I got a chocolate cone. She took a bite of my cone waiting for her flavor to be made, so the gentleman told me to take a bite and hand it back to him. So I did and he topped it off for free. You just don't find too many places like that anymore. Can't wait to get back in the area for another visit“

“Creamy, delicious ice cream on a real working farm with plenty for family to see and do during their visit. The best flavor is lemon, but we tried a bit of the Oreo, as well as mint, raspberry, and peanut butter. They are all high quality and fresh tasting.“

“Clean, service is great, product is good. Location is easy to get to, just doesn't present much seating. Maybe one or two benches and one picnic table. Co-located with a gas station, so long lines wait in the street. Keep an eye on littles.“

“My husband absolutely loves their soft ice cream. He says it's like it was when he was a kid. He gets enough for a week every Saturday. I personally Love the hard ice cream flavors. They have alot and they change them up so there's always something new to try. We can walk to them right from our house. Go .... you won't regret it.“

“The one place I always looked forward to being open for the season. Love the food and the sweet treats. Always had the best customer service around. Even when it’s closed for the season I am always craving the canalside cup. Always a good experience and experience and will always be recommended by me to others.“

“Unique cookie flavors. I love the addition of the minis which gives you a change to try more flavors without the calories of the full size cookie. I also love the option of their own cookie cutter to share the full size cookies. I always order online and I’m in and out. The staff are always friendly.“

“Delicious waffles and a creative menu! Space was cozy and bright. Staff was so friendly. Will definitely be back“

“Simply the Best!! Highly recommended!!“

“I have been passing by this place for the past 13 years. We are from NY and always miss having a good breakfast or lunch sandwiches. Today my wife got a breakfast sandwich and then I came back later for lunch. All I can say is I finally found a real deli in my area. We are so happy that we finally tried Dave’s and will now be back again on a regular basis.“

“Great burgers., delicious caramel coffee moolite. Basically ice coffee. 🥰“

“Great place to fill up on! Love the vibe and the food !“

“We were visiting the Crayola experience and the cafe was closed so we ventured next door. We are very happy we did because the food was quite good. Obviously it's going to be a little pricier because if its location, but we would have paid the same, if not more, inside of Crayola. The portions were generous and the quesadilla, burger, hot dog, and pb&j were all delicious. We did not have any frozen yogurt or play in the playhouse so I can't comment on those.“

“always clean, helpful and friendly. plus, great flavors“

“Just as great as it was in my 1960’s childhood. I’m a big fan of the pistachio flavored flying saucers. My granddaughter can have a Fudgie the Whale ice cream birthday cake like I had. It’s not just the nostalgia. The taste and quality are still great.“

“ice cream! banana split.“
