17 Best Ice Cream Shops near Ferndale

“We took the grandkids there and had desert in the inside area. The lines weren't very long even though about a third of the inside tables were occupied and some outside as well. It didn't take very long to get served. Everybody's ice cream tasted fresh and we picked up some to take home.“

“I love their burgers! Even the inexpensive cheeseburger is yummy! Of course, I almost always get a yummy Blizzard to go with it! It was about 9pm when I went. It was still busy at that time! The drive thru was rather long, but it was quick to get through. Yummy!

“My husband and I Discovered this gem on a trip to Birch Bay last year—an ice cream spot that quickly became an absolute must-visit for us. I must say, it serves some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Since that first visit, we've been back to the area twice, and stopping here has become our little tradition—every. single. time.“

“Our favorite treat spot around and they always gluten free options! Plus a great rewards system♡“

“A welcoming and cozy little cafe, that's quiet enough to chat in. The gelato is amazing, and the chocolate are silky and rich. Best of all, drinking chocolate made with any chocolate you want: my favorite is the white chocolate.“

“I finally got to try their bubble waffles and ice cream and definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu! I got the strawberry/Biscoff vegan option and added bananas, sooooo gooooood 😋 My friend and I got there about an hour before closing on a Friday, they were busy, but the line moved pretty fast! The owner and employees were super nice and professional! Also such a fun and cute place to take pictures with a date or friends (:“

“We took a field trip up to Edaleen farm to meet and learn about our dairy supplier. Mitch was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. His passion for his work is transparently evident in how engaging he was throughout the tour. Additionally his commitment to his herd, his staff, and their wellbeing is impressive and reassuring in an industry notorious for its lack of.Really fun visit, learned heaps, had a great time.“

“Mallard is THE Bellingham ice cream shop. Always mixing up fun, funky flavors in addition to classics and such a fun atmosphere to enjoy. Their staff always rocks AND they even have a fridge full of pints of their ice cream available for purchase. Plus, they're consistently creating fun collaborations with other local businesses in the area, most notably, collabs with dessert shops that bring in their dynamic flavors to match Mallard's. Menu Faves: Super Chocolate, Mint Oreo, Coconut Chocolate Chunk with Almonds, Tony's Cold Crew (Gluten-Free), Cookies & Coconut (Gluten-Free/Vegan)“

“Yes! I try a lot of ice cream shops, and it's rare that they will scoop SMALL enough (don't worry they have big ones too). I love ice cream but I usually just want a small portion. They have great homemade waffles cones. Wonderful unique flavors as well. I had the lemon poppyseed and the peanut butter cookies and cream and both were great.“

“So yummy! The gluten free brownie is everything I want in a brownie. I'm not gluten free, it is just delicious! We never walk out without picking 2 things each.“

“What can I say besides it's a fast food place for delicious cookies! You have options between regular cookies i.e. chocolate chunk, snicker doodle...the deluxe cookies like salted caramel and they're dig! But you can get boxes and either build your own, or choose from their options. They can also build you an ice cream sandwich of an chosen cookie! Still coming out hot! Also have Valentine's day options as well!“

“they have all the flavors and mix ins anyone could want. I wish they delivered!“

“I gave this place a second try and they didn’t disappoint! I got their Oreo milk tea with boba. The drinks came out a little slow, but it was just one woman working the day we went and we definitely weren’t in any rush. I appreciate the friendly service we received! Depending on the drink it can be pricey ($7.50 for mine before tip), but comparable to other boba shops in the area so nothing shocking if you are used to boba prices in Bellingham :) Will come again, need to try their taiyaki and bingsu next!“

“So, I really love Boomers because it is like a more quality version of fast food. It's going to be real ingredients, nothing like a McDonald's burger. They have lots of options, too; fish n chips are one of my favorites. Servers are always super friendly even when they're busy, and it has a fun 50s-60s aesthetic to it. The only major complaint I have is that the lettuce specifically seems to often not be fresh, and I don't know why. A small fix that could literally bring up their burgers two grades.“

“Best banna/splits around....😋“
