7 Best Ice Cream Shops near Dayton

“Authentic, great tasting food. This is the real deal, so tasty I ordered another dinner to go, plus lunch for the next day, too. Nice place, like eating in your mom's kitchen, plus there's even a ice cream parlor attached next door that serves up some really good ice cream too.“

“Just took a chance passing through town, and the place looked cute. We had: wood-fired pepperoni pizza, garlic & cheese bread, and their potato & truffle bisque. I'd go out of my way to come back to this place. The flavors were a level-up, so fresh, so layered & decadent. Service was prompt & friendly, great atmosphere, cozy seating, ample selection of beverages (alcoholic & non) for on-premises consumption or take-home. Sweet little ice cream & candy parlor on the other side if you still have room for dessert. Worth the jaunt out to Carlton!“

“This is an enchanting oasis! We’ve enjoyed perfectly made lattes, refreshing lavender lemonade, and delicious mango-passionfruit sorbet. Plus, there’s a charming bookstore stocked with games and knick-knacks. It's the perfect spot for a cozy retreat with unique treats and fun finds.“

“In general I do enjoy this place as a nice ice cream spot, but please be aware their matcha latte may not be quite what you expect. I’m a frequent matcha drinker, I’ve never had a matcha latte /anywhere/ else that was anything other than some combination of matcha powder and milk, but the one I got today included coffee. Odd combination, definitely not what I expected, and it certainly wasn’t written anywhere that that surprise addition would make its way into the drink? While the staff member was kind enough to make it for me cold instead of hot upon request, she seemed generally confused about what she was doing, and initially gave me just their version of the matcha latte, and not the matcha latte special I had ordered from their employee creations board. I had to prompt her to add the ice cream offered in the description on the board. Altogether the drink wasn’t necessarily bad, just very strange, and not what I, or anyone else I know, would expect of a matcha latte.“

“These people really care about people. They care about their food and make it with love. It's just diner food taken to the next level. When you couple that with how kind they are, you really can't beat it. Thank you, Gem 100, for reminding everyone how to serve a community ✨️ ❤️“

“A hidden gem in McMinnville. I found this place by mistake because it doesn't really look like a taqueria. It looks like an ice cream candy shop, which is what you see when you walk in. I really want to be selfish and keep this gem to myself, but everyone deserves to experience real authentic Mexican food that rivals my grandmothers cooking growing up in her home. The tacos are amazing with all tortillas made when you order. They also have pupusas which I think the cheese are the best , they also have gorditas. The only other place I have seen these were in my grandmas kitchen. They are a thick corn tortilla that is stuffed with meat of your choice, asada for me and filled with veggies. (Yum) another favorite is the quesadilla. It's all homemade and it's huge. I can barely finish it , in fact it's hard saying it's a quesadilla because it has so much meat. Again Asada for me. The service is amazing and the cucumber Lemonade is delish. They also take orders over the phone, and will have everything ready.“

“My daughter and I come here once in a while as a little treat, and thankfully it has always been a positive experience. The store is always very clean, the lady behind the counter is always very polite and respectful, and even though the fro-yo flavors continually change, we're always bound to find something that peaks our interest. And it's very reasonably priced! I can't forget to mention that, VERY reasonably priced.Kid-friendliness: There aren't many tables inside, but there's always an extremely welcoming atmosphere.“
