50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Utica

“This little place has been around for years which speaks volumes right there. The menu is expansive and the custard is delicious. There's plenty of tables to enjoy your treat at their outdoor seating in the backyard. The service is usually prompt and friendly. The parking area is a very short distance away and best of all, it's paved. (There's another popular custard place nearby but their lot is dirt and gravel which makes it a messy place to park if the weather isn't great). So it's a big plus to come here just for that reason alone. The menu has so many choices, you'll have to come back again and again and again.“

“I love this place but make sure your employees are properly trained on how to make a blizzard. Went there last night and my 2 blizzards were not mixed properly. one with mint was mostly a vanilla ice cream with very little mint mixed in the second was a cookie jar and I didn't get to the fudge until I reached the bottle of the cup and the cookie dough and Oreos were only at the top. I will still be back and happy your remodel is now complete.“

“This place is not only just aesthetically pleasing, but their menu selection is mind blowing. I visited with my family the other day, and we weren’t sure what to get at first but the staff were so helpful since they gave us samples and offered different menu items based on what we said. In the end we got sushi crape, mixed waffles, and two redbull drinks. Everything tasted absolutely amazing and our order came out within minutes after we ordered even tho they were semi busy. I will definitely be coming back soon!“

“Loved every part of it!! Customer service was fantastic -- Jordan was so professional, friendly, and helpful. Ice cream was delicious with so much variety. Lots of vegan options. The regular size is really big -- definitely big enough to share. We'll definitely be back!“

“Looking for a place to get your sweet treat of ice cream! Look no further, this is our favorite go to for ice cream goodies in the area. The staff is always so friendly and the ice cream is the best and always fresh. It is soft server but let me tell you, it is some of the creamiest ice cream I have ever had. Glad that they now have extended their hours until 10pm because of summer.“

“Good. Fair prices too. Took our exchange students here after seeing it on Instagram. Only issue is they need more places to sit. I was irritated that a family was just chilling at the tables outside not even eating anymore. Had to eat in our car.“

“Great ice cream and friendly staff“

“The atmosphere is new, modern and fresh. Thr cookies are above average at best. They typically have like 6-8 flavors to choose from and they switch out the flavors every other week or once a month. I think some locations offer mini sized cookies. A fun fact: they do have their own ice-cream. Some locations don't have cashiers, just a computer you manually order at. Packaging is cute. They can add a small sticker for a ily, hbd, best wishes, things like that. Cookies are about $3.99-6.99 depending how you buy them (higher quality are cheaper).Vegetarian options: They only make cookies or ice-cream so safe to assume it's not vegetarian friendly.Dietary restrictions: Ask them if you have dairy allergies or nutallergy. .Parking: Decent area to park, lots of doordasher at this location thoughKid-friendliness: Fun place to take a kid or a teenager!Wheelchair accessibility: They have wide enough doors for a wheelchair. There are no stairs. Flat walkway and sidewalk.“

“I've been going here for years now, it's the best priced food around, tasty too. Customer service is great. Jess is there almost daily. Tori is an original member and she's.. amazing. Just being around her makes a day better. You have to try the chicken wrap!“

“Awesome as usual ………………..“

“Parking: Not about parking, but the type of burger I ordered is not here on this list. I ordered the breakfast burger w/ a regular fry and a can of sprite soda. I handed the gentleman a $20 and he gave me $10 and a quarter back for change. Very good food, decent atmosphere, friendly service, and it is much higher quality and cheaper than any fast food. So you really cannot best it.“

“Fist time at bubble cream and our family experience was amazing. Food was amazing and fresh. Everything we ordered was so good. Bubble tea and shakes were honestly the best I’ve ever had. And the staff was so sweet. I can’t say enough great things about bubble cream. Will definitely be back.“

“My yummy cookies were ready within minutes of my arrival! I also loved that I got a text after I drove my the business and didn't stop to get my goods with a simple reminder "hey, did you forget something?" That was super funny! I usually don't give 5 stars cuz always - there is room for improvement! My only complaint is that I had to come back because they ran out of cookies the day before.“

“When my girlfriend told me she loved orange cream sickles I immediately asked her if she'd ever had an Orange Julius. She'd never even heard of one. After we shared a nice dinner on a Saturday i drove to this DQ that is also an Orange Julius shop and got us each one. As always the Orange Julius was delicious and I had created a fan in my girlfriend.“

“Great desserts delicious.. I highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️“

“Everything tasted absolutely amazing and the service was great!I would’ve given this review more stars but i did get a bit upset with the owner because I am disabled and needed to use the restroom while I was there. I had to have my significant other help me, and when leaving the restroom I was yelled at for having an extra person with me in the bathroom…“

“This place is 5 stars because no matter how long the line. Those workers will get it down in minutes. Cash is king there! The quality of the product is always consistent. Absolutely loved dairy o! I even got a pop socket to remember them by.“

“This is a small drive up soft serve Custard stand located on the Southside of 12 Mile Rd, just east of John R. Rd. It’s very small and has two windows, one for ordering and paying and one for pick ups. It’s the type of place you grew up with, because their used to be one in every neighborhood. The most important thing here is a Custard, if you come here. It’s really as good as it gets for a soft serve custard! If you’re in the neighborhood and wanna treat this place, can’t be beat! ?“

“GREAT FROYO! But the lobby is stuck in 2020 and it gives me the heebie-jeebies. Social distancing signs are still up, & chairs are put up, & chalk boards still have writing on them regarding lockdown. Someone needs to straighten the atmosphere up.“

“We love The Dairy Treat! The owners are amazing people and their staff members are always so friendly. We love their flurries but they have awesome food!!

“Very good things to say all around about this place! I originally found this place via the internet. The owner has been very passionate about his restaurant and has created many fun social media videos within the restaurant. They have burgers that are so big, you can barely take a bite. But one bite, and you'll fall in love. Everyone in my party ordered a different burger, and we loved them.Our waitress was also named "Grace", and must've said something about my birthday or something, but I was able to meet the owner as well! The whole staff there tonight was incredible and made my twentieth birthday memorable. The whole place even pitched in to sing 'Happy Birthday' as well, which made my night.Thank you Matt, Grace, and the staff at Red Knapps, I will definitely be back!“

“This location is worth going out of your way for. Friendly staff, well stocked and excellent service. I had a special order Mud Pie created, and it was beyond my expectations. Other locations can have limited product and bare pre-made freezers. This one is 5 stars all the way!Dietary restrictions: 2 no sugar added options for diabetics.“
