18 Best Ice Cream Shops near Lacey

“I ordered a custom ice cream for a special occasion. Cake was made exactly to my request, everything from the different layers, ice cream flavors, & toppings. Everyone enjoyed the cake and asked, "Where is the ice cream cake from?" If you have a peanut butter lover in your life, I highly recommend this peanut butter themed ice cream cake. Aside from this custom order, we are regular customers. The ice cream sundaes are our favorite. You always get good portions (scoops) served. The medium is almost too much for me. That's a good thing. Chocolate Chip Mint, Hot Fudge, Whipped Cream, and topped with M & Ms is my favorite.“

“I grew up in Lacey but my family never really came to Ralph's... and oh my gosh we were missing out!!!! This is the BEST ice / ice cream I've had in my life. I got a small cotton candy ice + mint cookie crumb cream ice. Both had excellent flavor, such a smooth texture, and there was so much packed in a small!! This is a super great quality ice. It does not even compare to the junk at Rita's--go to Ralph's and get something actually delicious and totally worth your money!!!“

“I rarely eat ice cream, and I rarely leave reviews. When I decide to do both, you will know that I want to talk about something good or something terrible ? I prefer to eat quality ice cream. I am an RN, and I have been on call in this area since this morning. I found this location on Google on my way home (have a 45-minute commute ahead of me), and I chose this place over a few other local places. I ordered a raspberry chocolate milkshake. This ice cream is soooooo good, and soooooo rich and creamy, that I am still in the parking lot and writing this review (not even done with the shake). The shake is thick, but the flavor of this ice cream...AMAZING. I haven't had ice cream like this since I was a kid. I do not live locally, but I plan to be back. I initially thought the cost was a bit pricey for a small shake, especially since most places don't use or make the best ice cream...and they end up drowning whatever flavor that you ask for in milk. Well, that was not the case today. The shake was thick and delicious, and it was 100% worth every single penny. The service was prompt, and the servers were courteous. I will definitely be back when I work in this area again. What a perfect find, especially before the summer months! If you know the difference between ordinary ice cream, and quality ice cream, treat yourself and come here. I can't wait to try some of the other flavors. Yummy! This is not the best picture, but I had to keep sipping...too good to stop drinking just to type?Dietary restrictions: They do have frozen yogurt...“

“Miss Mindy's homemade ice cream is out of this world, with fun and unique flavors that change regularly - you'll never get bored! And for my vegan friends, they have a fantastic selection of vegan flavors that are just as delicious. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, perfect for hanging out with friends or enjoying a sweet treat solo. The staff are always friendly and helpful, making every visit a delight. Highly recommend! ?✨“

“Clean, quick service this time. I love the taro tea with almond milk. Other places I've had it taste like your drinking dirt but not here. No place to sit and eat if you want to hang out. Just a few lawn chairs along the wall while you wait. Very small parking lot. It's an in-and-out-and-on-your-way place.“

“The food is exceptional and consistent! It’s nice to have local business like this thrive. The owners are awesome people that collaborate with other businesses in the area; bringing everyone up with them, that’s the way small business should be. Try a lettuce wrapper classic burger with old bay fries; you won’t be dissapointed.“

“I OFTEN FREQUENT Barnegat Bay Ice Cream! In my opinion they have the best ice cream & so many options to choose from! There a small FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS & are some of the KINDEST PEOPLE YOU WILL EVER MEET! Their ice cream is not only DELICIOUS BUT RIDICULOUSLY FAIRLY PRICED❤️‍? I ALWAYS GET the banana split They also do door dash! If your a local or even just visiting our beautiful ocean side town you have to stop by their shop! Way better then Mrs Walkers ? Barnegat Bay Ice Cream Is the best best place to go from Eagleswood to Toms River!“

“I recently visited Sundaes, and I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of their service. Despite the anticipation of a long wait, our orders were ready in less than 10 minutes. The variety of ice cream flavors and toppings they offer is impressive, providing customers with countless options. I must say, the quality of the ice cream was exceptional, and my wife and nephew shared my enthusiasm for their choices. Sundaes is definitely a great place to get some ice cream“

“Best little place around, workers are like old friends,we get their food every Sunday,and they give you your money's worth for sure,I definitely recommend you go there. It's it eat in,or take out,I promise you won't be disappointed ???“

“Rebecca and her mom, Tammy Sue, are super friendly ladies. All their items are very fresh daily and delicious. I love their bagels fresh each day from Staten Island. The crumb cake is out of this world. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.“

“The staff here is so kind and sweet and the whole menu looks so delectable ? Tried their Iced Matcha Latte w/ Strawberry Purée & The Club Pretzel Sandwich and it was one of the best I’ve tried, very yummy and would be happy to come back here “

“My husband & I have been going to this bakery and ice cream shop frequently since we moved to this area about six years ago. They have a great selection of ice cream, italian ice, and milkshakes. They feature seasonal flavors. Today, I brought home the homemade Shamrock Icecream. It's a minty creamy homemade flavor, a must try! They feature so many different bakery items, but I'll mention a few of our favorites; their moist fluffy big homemade brownies, their homemade cookies (especially the ones with the jelly in the middle), and their dessert cups. The dessert cups are unique to their bakery. It's a mix of cupcake filling,some icing, pudding, or cream, and additional toppings, etc, with flavors like tiramusu, cannoli, red velvet, key lime, & more! All items are top-notch as far as flavor. One of the best in the area. The store is clean. Staff is super friendly. They always remember my husband & I. I was over due to write a review. I'll be back to post reviews of future purchases we enjoy. Great local business of Lacey!“

“Nostalgia plus great food and ice cream? Yes, please! Menu is refreshed and yummy, with lots of fresh produce and healthier options. My clam chowder and half chicken salad was fabulous. Even the sliced egg was thoughtful. The frozen yogurt is perfection. Friendly’s will always be my favorite. Wish we had one in Hampton, VA!“

“We were in a pinch . Needed a seating fir 8 on St. Pattys. Sweet Jennys said if you can get here in 10 min. We can sit you. I might say we needed to be out because of a dance recital time line. SJ. Is Quaint, always the best comfortable, accommodating place. The food of course was delicious as well.Parking: In front and around the corner.Kid-friendliness: Absolutely, comfortable setting“

“I happened to come across this cute place in Google maps search since I was in area. I did online order and it was done pretty quickly! The place was very clean and a lot of cute plushies and decor and tasty food!I ordered a medium Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shake and a Bubbles 07 special crepe and it was all very tasty! The crepe was stuffed full and the filling has equal parts meat and veggies and was enough to feed two. The shake has lots of cinnamon toast crunch goodness. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend and come back to this place again“

“Tons of flavors to choose from! The staff was super friendly and even told us the top 3 flavors. Extremely colorful and bright within the store. I wish there was a table or two inside the store. There are a lot of tables outside though. I love that they offer a wide variety of toppings. It was so good that we went back for seconds the next day! My friend purchased two kinds of fudge. It didn't taste as fresh and rich as she would have liked.“

“Omg so many flavors I didn't know what to choose from . The woman behind the counter was a doll as she let me sample the Pumpkin Cheesecake and omg it's to die for. I decided to get a scoop of Pumpkin Cheesecake and Egg Nog to go. They offer soft serve and hard of the eggnog flavor. I'm upset with myself for never stopping in here. Inside you get the feel of an old school ice cream shop from all of the signs. I will be returning before they close on the 23rd. Oh and thank you so much for the ice cream sandwiches“

“You know if there is a line on a cold day the ice cream must be good. And it was. This ice cream shop is tucked in a cute small town downtown area in Lakehurst. The young ladies were friendly who scoop there. The flavors and sizes are on a whiteboard so you can formulate your selection while in line. There are a few tables to sit outside and you order from a window nearby. The banana fudge in a small sundae is a cup of happiness. The creamy banana has ripples of fudge. Add fudge sauce if you need more chocolate. The rocky road was delicious too pair that with their marshmallow sauce. No matter your flavor it will be enjoyable. Whether it be sundae, cone, or cup, it is a perfect place to get your dessert on!“
