50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Madison

“Always get excellent service at this location!! The employees are always friendly and glad to serve you! Love Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream!! Thank you!!!“

“incredible service and high quality treats & food!“

“Every time we go to this location, the staff does not disappoint. Today, we drove from another Sonic location in Greenbrier, TN, where they literally made fun of our food (stiff cold hod dogs and no napkins) and our drinks (no straw for Limeade, no spoon for Sonic blast) after 30mi+ wait. So, the crave was still there for Limeade. We drove here and ordered one, and, as always, we were very pleased with the staff presence and service. The screens were functional, and the ones that were not, were properly labeled. The drink came out in no time, the gut was very friendly. We’ve never been disappointed at this location. We’ll never use the one in Greenbrier again. It’s not the first time they show they don’t care.“

“I can not emphasize enough that this is THE BEST VEGAN ICE CREAM ever to have come into existence. Words fail me here, so rich, the best mouth feel and a wonderful variety of flavors. I came from Michigan to Nashville with my partner and this was the highlight of the trip for me!🤤🤤🤤🤤😁“

“Most laid back Jeni's in town. We're new to Nashville and found Jeni's at the Farmer's Market. But we like the East Nashville location better. Ice cream is amazing and the waffle bowls are the stuff dreams are made of.“

“Amazing experience! Kina treated us so well and made great treats! I had the Whiskey Dream. The chocolate ice cream was awesome! It also had huge chunks of brownie! The rim of the glass was dipped in caramel and covered with chocolate sprinkles. The store is very clean. Overall, 10/10 experience!“

“10 out of 10! We loved the sweet, spicy and savory combo. There are several options to choose from to create the best combo for your taste buds. Highly recommended.“

“Caught our attention while visiting Nashville and ended up being one of our favorite stops! Super cute place, crazy creativity and marketing. Great place to meet friends and hang out. Cereal??? I mean, ya…but so much more! Met the owner and she was so delightful as well. Can’t wait to see this catch on and be franchised. Every detail was just perfection!“

“Happened to drive by this place while heading home from Nashville! Pup approves 🐶 The smell alone will have you sold. Fresh baked cookies of all unique flavors. Build your own ice cream sandwiches 🤤 😍. Will definitely return. Kids LOVED the variety“

“What can you say about Mattheessens? This is the best cookie place in the entire world! Was it the alcohol.... maybe, was it because the cookies are as big as your head..... potentially, was it because the cookies are fresh and absolutely delicious.... definintely!!!! If you are in the Nashville area this is, in my opinion, a place you have to stop at!“

“The best ice cream ever and perfect after a long hot day at work.“

“Friendly staff and excellent product!“

“I came here to say, I have never heard of this brand before but last night while shopping at my local Jay C (kroger), I stumbled across the Gluten free Gooey Butter cake ice cream and i’m so very glad I did!!! it’s delicious!!!! It’s not often us Gf people get to have cake and I actually don’t care for ice cream. I rarely eat it but that has all changed thanks to Jeni’s. I love it so much I might have ate half of it in one sitting….we listen and we don’t judge 😝. A+++++++++. Please don’t stop making this!“

“Great ice cream spot! One of the creamiest ice creams we e tasted.

My wife had a 4 flavor sampler while I had a medium waffle bowl with buckeye and Cookie Monster. I also topped mine off with M&Ms & Brownie Bites.

Her four flavors consisted of cinnamon roll, Biscoff cheesecake, chocolate peanut butter brownie & monkey business.

Overall it was a great end to a fantastic trip in Nashville.

Very clean inside as well!“

“Without a doubt, one of the best ice creams I’ve ever had! So creamy, full of flavor, and with such unique flavors. It makes you want to try them all! 😍

The service from Kenton and Aby was absolutely spectacular! They were so friendly and welcoming.

⭐ Rating: 10/10
If you’re in Nashville, this place is definitely worth a stop! 🤎“

“Appreciation for Outstanding Employee Assistance – Kensley

I wanted to take a moment to recognize an employee at your Hendersonville store who went above and beyond to help me recently.
One evening earlier last month, I stopped by to pick up a cake for my fiancée as a surprise, we were getting married in just a week, so I was already under a lot of stress. When I came back out to my car, I realized my battery had died. I felt completely stuck and overwhelmed, but one of your employees, a young woman named Kensley (I believe that’s her name,she wore glasses), didn’t hesitate to help.
She went out of her way to help me jump-start my car and was so positive and kind throughout the whole situation. Her calm attitude and genuine kindness turned what could have been a very stressful moment into a reminder that there are truly good people out there.
I just wanted to make sure her effort doesn’t go unnoticed. Employees like her really make a difference and leave a lasting impression on customers. Please extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to her for her compassion and willingness to help.“

“The waffle cone with honeycomb ice cream was great. First time there and will be back.“

“Came down to Tennessee for a woman’s conference at GVBC and we wanted ice cream. Come to find out, our hometown ice cream opened up a location! Tasted the same, better than the locations that we have in Ohio. Cleaner, bigger and more options. Come on Ohio we need remodels.“

“amazing pastries made from scratch“

“It's crumbl.. where the cookies are larger than your face, 5-7 different flavors rotated every 2 weeks, and will always have chocolate chip and sugar cookies as options. You will pay about 30-35$ for a box of 6 and not regret a damned thing.“

“Brusters is amazing! We adore Dicky, who drives one of their trucks and serves at a lot of events we attend. I would recommend Nicole and her team any time you want some amazing ice cream!!“

“Love the soft serve and dipped cones!“

“So good!! Everything is fresh!“

“The BRST ice cream!!! Everyone was so nice 👍🏾👍🏾“

“When we entered Stompin' Grounds for our Father's Day brunch we were greeted by Ha and let me tell you...that was the most energetic and happy greeting I have ever received at a restaurant and the whole party agreed!! Ha was fantastic, not just greeting us, but throughout the rest of the meal and our time at the restaurant! She was constantly coming around to make us smile, but not in an annoying way...she did it so well that we felt special and well taken care of and she really made the morning special. Not only was she funny and energetic, but she was also extremely heartfelt and sincere! Again, something I have never experienced before at a restaurant! The food and service were also incredible!! We will absolutely be back and can't wait! Thank you Ha for such a surprisingly wonderful Father's Day!!“

“Jamie at Jeni’s went above and beyond today! I had an unexpected flat tire outside the shop, and Jamie didn’t hesitate to step in and help. Their kindness, patience, and willingness to assist during a stressful situation made all the difference. It’s rare to find someone who cares enough to help a complete stranger, and Jamie’s actions truly reflect outstanding customer service and character.

The ice cream was great, but the exceptional service is what I’ll remember most. Thank you, Jamie, for turning a frustrating day into a positive experience. Jeni’s is lucky to have you!“

“We got one of your cookies for our 13 year olds birthday and turned out wonderfully in design and taste. We will definitely be back!“

“They are friendly and serve a great product!!! So yummy“

“Went to Farmer's Market for lunch and Jeni's was right there..i'm from Texas visiting Nashville...this is by far the best ice cream i've ever had! asking my husband to find another store today to get another one! OMG...heaven ..best chocolate ever!! enjoy🥰“

“We had my daughter’s birthday party here two years in a row. This is a fabulous place to host a party. It is easy and affordable. The staff really took care of us on both occasions. Would highly recommend this for parties or a regular visit.“

“Fun! Incredible experience“

“The waffle cone with honeycomb ice cream was great. First time there and will be back.“

“A great way to put a smile on everyone's face! He was the hit of the neighborhood party yesterday! A memory my kids will be talking about for a long time to come. Thanks! On time and great menu!“

“If you like ice cream this is the spot! Not only is the ice cream great this is a local small business that gives back to the community. We took a group of foster kids and the owner came and introduced himself, spent time talking to the kids and introduced other shops in the area to them. Go see Pepe. He has a heart for kids that don’t get the same opportunities as most. Not only was this day amazing for the kids Pepe is already thinking of other ways to help these kids. Support businesses like this. We need them to thrive. Thank you Pepe you are awesome.“

“Very nice lunch with my daughter!“

“Just exactly what you’d expect if you visited an authentic Mexican Ice Cream / dessert parlor!

The place is spotlessly clean, the ice cream has a beautiful presentation, the servings are plenty large, and the product is delicious!

The product is made on site, in a very clean back of building ice cream shop full of chest freezers, prep tables and lots of fruit and ingredients!

I was able to take a short tour and was throughly impressed.

I visited as part of a middle school field trip and the young adults were all smiling as they ate their treats!

Excellente!“

“I’ve had Crumbl Cookies three times now, and each experience has been delicious. The cookies are consistently fresh, soft, and well-made, and it really feels like you can’t go wrong with any of the rotating flavors.

Favorite Flavors.
A couple that stood out to me in particular were the strawberry shortcake and carrot cake—they were especially flavorful and memorable compared to the rest.

Nutrition & Indulgence Factor.
One thing to keep in mind is that the cookies are definitely rich and fairly high in calories, sugar, and fat, which is pretty typical for oversized gourmet-style cookies.

Because of that, I personally see them as more of a special-occasion treat or occasional indulgence rather than an everyday dessert.

Final Thoughts.
Overall, it’s been a great experience all three times, and I would definitely go back again to try more flavors. If enjoyed in moderation, they’re absolutely worth trying.“

“Great milkshakes and ice cream and great service!“

“This place is expensive, even for being in a hospital, but the milkshake, brownie sundae, and even the waffle cones are so good. Most of the ice cream flavors are really good and the kids working there are very nice. Having this available after a long surgery or recovery and especially for the kids is worth the $7 milkshakes.“

“The fruit cubes were delicious! I was worried they would have gelatin, but they were vegetarian friendly! The macarons and fruit mousse cakes look beautiful (we haven't gotten into them yet) as well.
Very convenient location, pretty store, and friendly staff!“

“I received exceptional service today from my ice cream server. She was warm, personable, and made the experience feel special from the moment I arrived. I truly appreciated how knowledgeable she was about the flavors and products, and she took the time to help me choose the perfect ice cream. Her friendly attitude and excellent customer service made my visit even more enjoyable.“

“You can never go wrong with this candy store! It has so much variety! 10/10 recommended by me!“

“Awesome!!! I’ll recommend this place!“

“Was able to introduce the carvel ice cream cake to my wife who has never had one before. Brought back great memories from being a kid and getting one for my summer birthday. We all loved the fudge and chocolate crunchies still layered in the middle of a chocolate and vanilla ice cream.“
