Reviews of Granny's Sweet Freeze

Melinda Bianchi

Love all of the options! I was feeling dipped soft-serve after the dog park. Quality stuff here! There are a few tables off to the side where you can sit and enjoy your ice cream. Kind of a weird area for an ice cream shop but don't let that deter you. We left super happy!!!

Douglas Snyder

Oh what a place. This is a soft serve secret. You’ll have to wait in line for these fine treats, but well worth it. Granny’s has all the modern flavors you like and that old fashion hint of excellence in their recipe. You have to stop by soon and try some.

Robbie Erickson

One of the best ice cream joints in Iowa. They give you plenty of toppings and the menu is huge. Absolutely worth the visit every time.

Delicioso! 🍦💕 the biggest banana split i ever had lol …

Turtle Gundam

It was like a treasure hidden in plain sight the ice cream is amazing even if it’s not a hot day and it brings back a lot of family memories to look back on and even though it closes when summer ends and the cold seasons come around it’s still a special treat to be able to enjoy the little time me and my family have with it .

Riley Turner

This place needs to be on your must visit list this summer. The ice cream and shakes are wonderfully priced and flavors that are out of this world!

Tracey Fultz

My family loves Granny's. The ice cream is good. They offer a variety of ice cream treats. The prices are reasonable. The service is outstanding. It is not a very big place but it is mighty good!

Harry Quinn

Nice friendly local family owned ice cream shop. Known for great ice cream and many flavors. Yeah Baby!

Stephen Woolery

Just had a twist cone. 🍦 It was good, especially for the price. I'll have to stop there the next time I'm in Des Moines. …

Jacie Farris

Great soft-serve with soooo many options. Nice staff. So affordable. It's a regular spot for us.

Lyn W. (The Boom of Bomb)

A special treat that turned into sadness because this is what you get after spending $23.00 on ice cream. I could have saved myself time, money and effort by going to the store for a turtle and smore mix. Glad the other 2 were happy but this fat girl mom sure isn't. Why make the trip is this is the quality you get? ****update 6\15 the owner is on it and making sure it won't happen again. Changes my review from a 2 star to a 5 star. Just reaching out like that is wonderful

Stephen Smith

Great customer service and tasty ice cream. I really like the quant atmosphere

Shelby Murphy

Very good ice cream and pup cups!

gary webb

We were in town for Julia's muaythai national championship (witch she won the tile) this place is such a nice place for a stop on our way back to Seattle it's a much

Shannon Brown

Been going here and enjoying it since moving to Iowa 23 years ago. Great family owned and operated business. Great memories. Always remembered my husband's order when I didn't. Not a huge ice cream fan but it's GREAT from Granny's

Amanda Jahnke

Best ice cream in town. I would recommend the Italian cream soda. When they have the ice cream of the day as lemon or coffee it's one of the best I've tried.

Justine Christenson

Love the Ice Cream! So good. Support Local Business!

James Mccauley

The best malts in town. My Daughter and I go here frequently! Bring your Canine Friend, they have Ice cream treats for Dogs! Great place!

Emily garlock dickenson

First time here and it is amazing. Friendly staff and great ice cream. Will b back for sure!!!!

Monique Rhodes

Second visit. Hawaiian arctic swirl is yummy!

Lynann Bennett

Loved this place since I was a kid. So many delicious options 😋 …

tim conley

4 of us went and had everything from a chocolate malt to some masterpiece made from peanut butter cups. It's Granny's... It's an icon on the East side and definitely worth a trip if you've never been there.

Teresa Conner

Arctic Freeze choices are wonderful! Always a summer favorite

Hannah Wynter

Absolutely amazing ice cream!! Smooth creamy and delicious!! The staff was even accommodating when it came to an allergy I have and were more than willing to make sure I was taken care of...even on a busy afternoon!! Theres usually a wait but the ice cream is so worth it!

Maureen Backstrom

Delicious ice creamdozens of flavors and combinations of flavors. Open ONLY in late spring through summer/fall warm weather. Prices are higher than DQ, but I think much of ice cream may be handmade. Quick service usually except when there's a line. It's strictly a ice cream stand, but there are places to sit outside in nice weather or in one's car. Highly recommended!

Cassandra Rena

Can't belive this place is still here after all these years

Candi Harringa

Reasonable prices, strawberry shortcake is a favorite. Puppy cup is a hit with the dogs. Great way to end the day.

Eric Waters

Super friendly staff serve super smooth soft serve ice cream! The menu is huge, with lots of variety. The malts are fantastic, the banana splits are divine, and the crowd that forms and the place is happy and friendly.

Jeff Craigmile

Amazing, local, friendly ice cream shop that brings back memories of growing up in a small town. My chocolate toasted coconut dip cone was chocolatey delicious! Thank you! As an unrelated note, friendly birds visit you in the parking lot. It's like being in a Disney movie.

Gordon Reed

Great service and the best banana split. Large and loaded with toppings.

Paula

Best Ice Cream in town. So smooth and silky. What a treat.

Jamie Lynn Lemons

AMAZING DELICIOUS sweet cold summer treats. No words can do justice for the only justice is the happiness u will experience in your mouth and satisfaction that will later rest inside your tummy after eating any of the massive selection of icecream creations that you cannot get anywhere else. From pineapple upside down cake to German chocolate or strawberry shortcake or coffee flavors or any of their list of mouth watering treats.....makes me literally salivate at the thought. I'm so happy tis the summer season again as to gobble up their spectacularly crafted creations. Oh how I love thee!

Jared Mellody

Great little ice cream shop always have a flavor of the week and mutiple different options for Slushies sundaes and Arctic swirls. Always A++ service always a great cool treat on a warm summer day.

Alan Wilmes

Line out to the street, but moved quick. Courteous help. Smooth creamy ice cream. Small place but big on everything that counts.

Heaven Hadley

Busy and they are quite slow motion in there making the ice cream so it takes a long time but it was so good birthday cake dipped cone I love how they have many kinds of dipped options

Lisa Bell

We love Granny's! They are a Des Moines tradition. The German Chocolate is heavenly, but you can't go wrong with anything on their menu.

Casey Van Tilburg

Great ice cream with a great selection. The lemon Is fantastic. It's a drive for us so we don't go often but try to stop if we are out that way.

Wes C

Yummy! 4th time have the artic swirls. Love the German Chocolate. One of many local ice cream shops on the east side. The other I just won't comment on.

Kyle Critz

Hands down the best ice cream in the area.

Dr. Chad Johnson

Mounds Arctic Freeze is my fav, if you like coconut. The kids love it here as well. A nice gem that locals have loved for years!

Natalie Prewitt

At first they didn't give me enough on double-topping, but she gave me additional topping in a cup so I could put on my sundae. Very good service and excellent product.

Tammy Wood

Amazing selection and the staff was really just as sweet

Nicole Sternhagen Findlay

Best ice cream in town. Forget Snookies. I’m obsessed with the puppy chow Arctic swirl (their blizzard equivalent).

Alvin Workman

Has great ice cream, a little pricey but more than worth it. During evening hours they get pretty busy.

Tony Schubert

Really good soft serve ice cream with tons of options for cones and sundaes. A Des Moines staple.

Meredith Ponder Hanisch

Delicious ice cream from a locally owned shop. Numerous options to order from. Worth the trip.

Nathan Karasch

Local ice cream place with lots of character and TONS of dessert options!

Patrick Boberg

Quaint ice cream shop that serves a wide variety of soft serve creations. The downside is the soft serve isn't the best.

Kimi B

It was ok had a banana shake there were still huge chunks of banana at the bottom made hard to drink. It never happened before, so maybe it was just the person who made it, or not enough help?

Tiffany Marshall

Best ice-cream and so much to choose from..

Matt Smith

Expect to meet others as you wait a few minutes at this busy little custard stand. This is popular for a good reason.

Great little gem! There's a reason why this place had a line at 9:30pm on a Sunday night.

Lisa Klein

I loved going to Granny' s when I was a kid and now my own children love to go! So good!!
