19 Best Ice Cream Shops near Ferndale

“The ice cream is good, but they've decided to stop taking EBT for the scooped ice cream. I was able to use EBT before and it worked but now they won't even let us try to swipe our card. If you take EBT for the ice cream in containers, why not the ice cream in the cones? They also have inconsistent supply of the mint cookie crumble. I went in for that and they replaced it with mint chip which is not nearly the same. I chose the java chocolate instead which has chocolate syrup swirled into it but it was dripping from the moment the cone was handed to me and got everywhere as I ate it. Still yummy, though and their chocolate milk is the best.“

“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!

Kid-friendliness: Kid's meals available“

“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 seem to only come here once a year, I need to watch my dairy intake. I love Cryo Rolls The best $10 ice cream“

“Great place for a cold treat! I love that this place is in the container village. Service is always friendly. Their vegan chocolate and vegan mango lime sorbet (pictured) are very good! The waffle cones are also vegan. It would be nice to see more vegan options added in the future but I am so grateful for the ones they do have and will continue to swing by whenever I'm nearby.“

“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.“

“I highly recommend their cakes. I ordered a custom cake for my daughter’s b day party. They did an amazing job! The image we emailed blended seamlessly into the cake. We thought it was going to have rainbow sprinkles, but they actually matched the colors of sprinkles to the design. That attention to detail was such a nice touch. And the cake tasted amazing!“

“Best breakfast bagels in town.“

“Came to Bellingham for record store day this past weekend and it was warmer than I expected and I desperately needed a drink that wasn’t coffee. As I started looking for somewhere that might have lemonade, I saw two people coming out of this shop with delicious looking drinks in their hands. I stopped in and got a mango passion green tea and it was so delicious. Yes, it was pretty expensive but I pay almost the same for a large coffee or a lotus drink at any coffee stand.“

“Super friendly guy at the register as we meandered in, high on life at nearly 1am last nite. We had great small talk, got some ice cream with our cookies in the neatest little half and half box, and were on our way home. The cookies were so dang good, and the ice cream was pretty nice, too!
Atmosphere, it was clean and inviting. Phenomenal service.“

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

“We had the sweetest and most knowledgeable young trainee, Adrianna, serve us at the counter... And bring us our treats! We had Blizzards, which you can't go wrong with. I noticed, on the tables, was something that had long disappeared from fast food joints: napkins and ketchup packets! Kinda made it feel old school.“

“The price is going up but still a good value and great burgers fast. The deluxe burger it's not on the menu but is one of my favorites. Small hamburger with lettuce, tomatoes and onions with mayo and ketchup. Try it today! You won't regret it!“

“I LOVE BOOMERS! EVERYTIME I EAT BURGER FROM THERE I BECOME THE PHYSICAL INCARNATION OF LOVE.
Some nights I find myself lying in bed....not quite asleep, but not quite awake - the soft breeze coming in through my window smells faintly of burger...my hands reaches towards the smell, gripping only air. On those nights, I get out of bed and pace my room madly. My gentle dreams of Boomers turn to ravenous cravings. My every thought is BURGER. On those nights, I crawl on the walls, foaming at the mouth. On those nights, my only salvation is when Boomers opens - trust, I am standing outside waiting for the food to unlock. Trust, I'm the first person in line for a burger. Trust....I become THE PHYSICAL EMBODIMENT OF LOVE when I take that first bite. Through love, through heartbreak, through sickness and health, through those nights of crazed hunger...BOOMERS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME!!! Ga...goO...BABAGAGA. ☝️“

“I was in there to get my twins out of the weather and decided to see if I had enough change to get a drink and maybe a small fry. And a kind gentleman offered to buy me a full meal I thanked him even after refusing three times but I sat down and my twins and I shared chocolate ice cream and french fries. Every time I go in the staff is kind and the dinners are pleasant to talk to and be around.
