I have specific cravings for their soft serve and when it hits, I HAVE to go here. Handel's,…read moreMitchell's, Jeni's just doesn't cut it. It's a pretty low maintenance little spot with no tables just by the parking lot. For how ancient this place is, they take credit card which I really respect. Cash only places give me the downers. They always have an interesting flavor(s) of the week or day. I've tried banana which was excellent. Their strawberry was kind of meh though. Believe it or not, their vanilla is the best flavor. Their soft serve is just impossibly smooth and they pile it high in the waffle cone. Heaven. I also like that they're open late and there is always a huge crowd even when it's pouring. The Goodyear blimps are nearby too!

Stricklands Frozen Custard is a local staple for frozen custard lovers in the Akron area. My…read moreparents used to talk this place up as if it was Akron's Best Kept Secret. Every once in a while I pick my mom up and drive her to Akron just so she can get her Strickland's fix. The staff at Strickland's Frozen Custard are super friendly and you can watch them build your dessert through the windows of this unique ice cream shack. Whether you are a milkshake , sundae, cone, cup or pup cup lover, Stricklands Frozen Custard is worth a try. Even with a rainy and dreary day like today, the traffic and line was steadily hopping. The frozen custard is decently priced. My medium vanilla cone was $5 and the small sundaes including small Arctic Twisters are under $6. There is even a bench or two around the building to enjoy your dessert.

Am I dumb or just cheap? Well, I certainly learned a valuable lesson about myself when I…read moreimpulsively got froyo at SweetFrog right after work on a cold January day. Froyo is a gamble - you never know how expensive it'll be until your cup is on the scale. You see allllllll those delightfully little toppings, laid out seductively in containers on a long, white counter, and suddenly, your ability to think rationally goes out the windows. For just a little treat, I paid nearly $6 for what I think wasn't a large amount of froyo. I put in 3 quick dollops of flavored froyo in the smallest cup they had and then tried to be methodical about choosing my toppings. The cheesecake froyo was yummy but the dole pineapple was disappointing. The salted caramel froyo didn't taste like much. Next comes the toppings themselves. I love that there was edible cookie dough (probably the item that made this a costly little treat) and bits of cheesecake, brownie, and cake pieces available. I also love how common popping boba is at froyo places. I would like to see mochi pieces and lychee as options as well. One thing I really dislike about this froyo shop is how it is always so dimly lit inside! Not only does it create a gloomy atmosphere but I had been wondering for MONTHS if this was even open! Well, it is and had one person working when I went there and about 3 others eating their expensive cups of sugary indulgence. So am I dumb? Yes. But was that edible cookie dough delicious? Also yes.

Sweetfrog's prices are outrageous. I took my grandchildren to one today and was shocked at how much…read moreit costs to eat this unhealthy treat. They charge by the ounce. The kids used the smallest cups and filled them to the top. it ended up costing over $10.00 per cup. Save yourself some money and go to the ice cream stand next door. This was my first and last visit to any Sweetfrog.

Chill Ice Cream is a cute downtown location to satisfy two cravings - chocolate and ice cream!…read morePretty cool concept. There are variety of seasonal specials on both sides including Easter bunnies. There are also a lot of discount options. I tried sakura ice cream available in honor of Sakura festival. It was very subtle and just okay. To be very honest, I did not feel the best about the cleanliness of this shop. It looked outdated and in need of a deep clean. The staff were welcoming. The shop has a few tables. No outdoor seating available. You could take your ice cream for a walk downtown or to Lock 3 park. Street parking is available. Lock 3 park across the street has a big multi story garage.

Wow! Great selections and creamy, delicious ice cream. I thought the best one was the Cherry…read moreBlossom, which may have been created specifically for the Cherry Blossom/Sakura festival happening downtown Akron that very day. My son really liked it. They give a generous scoop and let you try any flavor that you would like to sample before committing to it.

$9.50 for 2 small soft serves. 1 small chocolate ($4) and 1 small twist with crunch kote ($5.50)…read more Crunch Kote was $1.50.....way too much to charge for crunch kote. Was very good soft serve ice cream but pretty expensive. Definitely should go with the medium because that is only $.50 more. So, a medium twist with crunch cote would be $6. If anywhere near Wadsworth just go to Bidinger's and you can get all the same for less and it is just as good.

This is one of those cases where the presentation and concept of a place far exceeds the execution…read more Looks like a staple of the area, and for that reason alone, it gets 2 stars and not 1. I ordered a strawberry shortcake sundae, and I clocked it at 8 mins to prep. It was not a line or crowd of people, so the service leaves much to be desired. The ice cream itself tasted like a chunk of dairy without the flavor or even consistency of ice cream. The strawberry syrup (and preserves) were overdone, and the only editable part of this was the whipped cream. If you're looking for ice cream, do yourself a solid and find a Culver's or Dairy Queen.

Every dish we tried was delicious, and the fact that they also offer ice cream was such a fun bonus.

Paleteria La Fresa also has a rotating stock of homemade popsicles in familiar and unique flavors, from strawberry to avocado to Mexican custard! My Yelp friend who joined me for dinner and dessert there a few days ago has tried at least a dozen flavors - her favorite is avocado. This was my first visit to this restaurant and spent some time looking at the pantry stuff for sale (didn't get anything) and debating which flavor of popsicle to get for my first visit here, before ordering two Mexican street tacos and one carne asada sopes for dinner. My meal also came with unlimited chips and salsa which we immediately demolished! Ultimately, I chose to get the Mexican cake popsicle flavor which was so smooth and creamy and milky and then crunchy with Mexican chocolate slabs inside! It was very refreshing, unique, and not very expensive at 3 bucks. My tacos were saved for later (and tasted delicious a couple hours later at home) but I ate the sopes at the restaurant. It was generously piled with carne asada and the corn pancake was 1000/10! I will absolutely order sopes again! For $16.50, I had a lot of food, a nice treat, and great company. I plan to come again!

What is the classic Ohio flavor of ice cream?…read more Well to me it is Blue Moon. While I am not 100% sure what the actual flavor is, I do know that I really like it. It is a little bit of fruit, a little vanilla, a little cotton candy, a little touch of magic. This was my first time at this location. My family and I have been going to the one on 44 since I was a child. Homemade ice cream. Generous portions. A happy summer memory. Favorite flavors over the years: Chocolate Malt Black Walnut Hawaiian Surprise .....and the aforementioned Blue Moon

They have weekly flavors that rotate, the portion sizes are HUGE so for my 9 year old son I get a kid cone, it's plenty big, the small is 3 scoops and I can't even finish one, so when ordering size down! The only down side is that they don't take cards, I don't get to stop often unless it's planned because I don't carry cash, I wish they would add that option, but other than that it's a great place!
