This is the best ice cream in St. Louis and top-tier ice cream in general, we are regulars and highly recommend. Super smooth and creamy as you'd expect from flash freezing and made on site so always super fresh. Price is high and be prepared to wait since the creation process is labor intensive. Rocky road is our personal favorite, coffee also delicious. The flavors generally are intense with fun seasonal flavors too. Note the vanilla has a strange butter flavor which isn't my personal preference. read more

Ratings: 3.5 however I can only choose between a 3 or 4. Went to grab some ice ceam on my birth-night before heading back in. I quickly scanned the area for some cool concept ice-cream places near me & came across this. Off I go, trying to catch them before they close up! Ice-cream quality: Definitely give you a buzz, the grown-ups version . Tasted pretty good and it's the real deal! Price- Expensive! A small cup was $15 easily Experience: Watch nitrogen ice-cream being made infront of you. Cool concept. Service: Nothing spectacular stood out Restaurant: Cute, fun, & inviting Recommendation: Give them a try! It's all about the experiences & creating memories! YOLO! read more

I don't get over here often but when I do, I love it! It is expensive for the nitro ice cream so it is a treat, but one that is well worth it! Whether it is day or night I enjoy their ice cream. I haven't tried the boozy flavors, none of them really appeal to me, but I will hopefully try them one day when it tickles my fancy. Tim's the cutest little spot, small sitting area in doors but extended seating outside which is great during warm weather. The service is always prompt and staff is always friendly and helpful when it comes to explaining the menu. If you are ever in the area and looking for a sweet treat, check out Ices! read more

Very cool spot. They use nitrogen to make the ice cream in front of you which is fun to watch. Lots of mixing and hand work and you can tell the workers are hustling. Prices are around $10-15 for a bowl but the portions are big and SO YUMMY. If it's busy, expect to wait about 10 minutes or so since each order is made fresh. The staff is young and friendly. Definitely a hidden gem and I'll definitely be coming back to try more flavors. read more

There's something about Ices Plain & Fancy that feels like stepping into a little pocket of joy--like summer bottled into a scoop and served with a puff of science. The first time I walked in, I wasn't just ordering ice cream--I was chasing a feeling. The kind you had as a kid when the ice cream truck came down the street, or when you got to pick your own sundae toppings after a good report card. But here, it's different... elevated. Magical. And still deeply nostalgic. You don't just get a cone--you get a show. Liquid nitrogen curls around the counter like smoke from a storybook, and for a moment, everyone--kids, adults, first dates, grandparents--watches in quiet awe as your ice cream is created before your eyes. It's theatrical, but never gimmicky. It's science, but it feels like love. And the taste? Pure, creamy heaven. Whether you go classic or wild-card (hello, booze-infused specials), every flavor is rich, balanced, and made with care. This place doesn't rush, and honestly, neither should you. And if you brought your pup? You must get a Sticky Charlie--their doggie ice cream treat that will make tails wag and noses twitch with joy. It's the cherry on top of an already perfect visit. Ices Plain & Fancy isn't just a treat. It's a reminder to slow down, savor, and let something small bring you big happiness. read more

A fun way to get ice cream. It was neat watching them make it with the dry ice. Quality flavors and big portions. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because it's limited for options of sizes. Bringing kids there you have to get adult sizes, which wasn't ideal. But overall I'll be back. read more

They didn't have my favorite topping which is cookie dough but that's ok. Service was super nice and helpful. They were happy to let us customize a bit and were very quick at making it.

Amazing nitro ice cream made to order. I had the chocolate peanut butter, which was filled with actual peanut butter. Very rich, flavorful ice cream. Only negative is the "regular" size for $7 was huge, I could only eat half of it. Would be nice if they had a small. But maybe that doesn't make sense since they hand make each order. I would just recommend splitting one if you don't want a huge portion. read more

Big fan of Ices! The fun blue and pink colors on the building really lend a sense of whimsy to the ambiance. I am based in the Shaw neighborhood so the location is also great...quick walk down the street and delicious ice cream is served! Things to note: it is on the slightly pricey side for ice cream but the serving is a good size, whether you go regular or large. The regular size is plenty (although you will probably wish you had more once you finish it because it is so good!) They make the ice cream on the spot and the process gives it a softer serve texture which I like. It can take a little longer to get too since they make it right then and there so keep that in mind. While I haven't tried it, they also offer boozy ice cream which can be a fun twist for your dessert if that is your thing. read more

Alex, Heather and the grandkids enjoyed "Ice Cream for Breakfast" this morning. Ices delivery of this annual ice cream extravaganza was over the top. I had the French Toast and Alex had the Honey Grahams. Heather enjoyed the Orange Mimosa. The French toast was something to write home about with a piece of crispy on the outside and custard on the inside experience. The ice cream was super delicious. Ices was staffed up for the event and much to my surprise, they handled the line licitly split. The staff was super helpful and nice despite the overwhelming crowd. Love the whimsical ambiance at Ices. Wish you had more coconut milk options for Jeff who doesn't eat dairy or soy. read more

Ices Plain & Fancy in St. Louis is such a cute ice cream haven with a unique twist. The vibrant pink and blue accents create a lively atmosphere. Us foodies took it over. The flash-churned liquid-nitrogen creations are a treat, and the story of Rolling Lawns Farm adds a charming touch to the experience (check out the history). The campfire s'mores, with its smoke show, is a must-try for those in the know . Amazing after brunch idea! Oh and this spot is Pup Cup Approved which Molina & Ruby greatly appreciate! read more

The last time I was here probably 8-9 years ago. Perhaps, I forgot about this place since it's kinda out of my way. We stopped by for some sweet treat Friday when we were in the area. I still think it's pretty cool to see they are making icecream in front of you using liquid nitrogen. I was also surprised that they had a very good Non Dairy menu. I was so tempting to get the boozy nitro ice cream but then I decided to save it for another day. I ended up getting German chocolate (non dairy) and Salted Dulce de leche. I liked the Salted Dulce de leche more, it was very creamy and tasted delicious but at the same time kinda sweet for my liking. I want to try their soy vanilla next time - it sounds interesting. Service was friendly and fast. read more

I came near opening on a Friday, Christmastime. The store was empty, yet hardly felt that way. The atmosphere inside was warm and cozy -- string lights adorned the windows, peppy Christmas music on the radio. Heart-shaped wire chairs and marble tabletops, just the most picturesque little ice cream shop. I got the S'mores, a holiday special. Not sure how they did it, and I don't know the magic behind nitro ice cream, but it genuinely tasted like it came right off the campfire. I've never had a S'mores-flavored dessert capture that smoky flavor before. I sat by the windows -- Ice's sits at the corner of 39th and Shenandoah, and I got to witness a bit of the Christmas magic happening right outside in the beautiful Shaw neighborhood. I will absolutely be returning again and again! read more

Can't beat Ices! Whether it's on a hot summer day or cool evening. Located in the Shaw neighborhood very close to Tower Grove park. I typically get the cookies n cream with a waffle cone but they have many other flavors for you to try. I've heard great things about their cinnamon, and butter pecan! I'm sure all the flavors are delicious though. Be sure to swing by and experience for yourself! read more

I have always loved Ices Plain & Fancy, but haven't been back since eating mostly dairy free, but then I saw that they have dairy free flavors! So I grabbed a friend over the weekend and ventured in. I love that it's a dessert and a show because you can watch them make your ice cream. I got the dairy free german chocolate and it was so rich and creamy and cold and perfect on a warm summer day. I will definitely go back for it again and want to try some other dairy free flavors! read more

A friend and I had a sweet tooth and she brought me here to this place to try out for some ice cream. She didn't tell me about how special the ice cream was here so I was pleasantly surprised! This was the first time I've ever heard of, seen and tried nitro ice cream! What a treat!! They had a standing menu and then had seasonal flavors. I wanted to try all of them, but figured I should try a staple flavor since this was my first time trying this type of ice cream. They have a fairly small shop/indoor area but they have a great outdoor patio area for you to sit and enjoy. This is a such a cool place to bring kids so they can see their ice cream being made! Such a great place on many levels and the ice cream doesn't hurt. read more

Prior to trying Ices, my STL ice cream shop favorites had been solidified for years. I never expected to find a shop that competes with my favorite place...until I tried Ices. I ordered the salted dulce de leche flavor, and it was so creamy and the perfect combo of salty and sweet. My bf ordered the cookies and cream, which was also good (but the dulce de leche was the best imo). Ices was very crowded on the Saturday night we went, but we were served quickly and still able to get a seat inside. The shop is tiny and adorable, although the size means seating is a bit limited. There is ample street parking up and down the streets nearby so finding a spot is not difficult. I can't wait to return soon! read more

If boys are acting too romance-y And the absence of sweets gets you antsy Then you really must go (Though your tummy will grow) For dessert at Ices Plain & Fancy! This is a super cute place in St Louis where we got deep Frozen ice cream. I went by myself about a year before I took Barbie, and it was my first ever experience of deep freeze ice cream and I really loved it. When I took Barbie here to STL, she really enjoyed it as well. The highlight of her trip to STL, perhaps. I said to her, Arch you glad I brought you here? She didn't laugh. The prices are pretty high especially for St Louis - but it is in a very fancy area and a nice little neighborhood with gorgeous buildings on a really cute street and a lot of clientele is suburban and on the wealthy side, so it's not much of a representative of STL itself, but what can you do. Lines can get long but then so can my oh nevermind. I definitely recommend checking it out when you're in St Louis, but you may have had Deep Freeze ice cream by now - or nitrogen or Sub Zero or whatever different places call it. So it may not be as much of a novelty. But this was the first place I tried it and I think it's super cute and has good products, and better than most deep freeze places, honestly. And my cat had fleas, which I got rid of. Some were fancy fleas that could do weird tricks. Others were basic fleas, so they watched TMZ and Sex & The City. I guess you could say my cat had Lices Plain & Fancy. read more

Located in Shaw Park, Ices is creating delicious ice cream using liquid nitrogen and a variety of gourmet flavor combinations. The menu has traditional flavors like vanilla and chocolate. However, if you feel adventurous there are seasonal recipes that use Girl Scout cookies, seasonal fresh fruit, or other seasonal ingredients. Not to mention there are flavors that have booze in them (21+ of course). The staff is friendly and always have a smile on their face!

History

Established in 2014.

Not only named after a cookbook published in 1885 by the Victorian "Queen of Ices", Mrs. Agnes B. Marshall, Ices Plain & Fancy also takes its inspiration from Mrs. Marshall, who on top of founding her own cookery school and publishing numerous books, also is credited as being one of the first to introduce the world to ice cream cones as well as the use of liquid nitrogen (or liquid air as it was called then) to create ice cream.

Ted Drewes Frozen Custard

What a cute little Midwest staple! A must stop if you're driving through STL or visiting! I love…read morethat it sits on Route 66 and feels like a step back in time (in the best way possible). There's a cute little gift shop next door if you're looking for some St. Louis souvenirs, too. Ordering feels a bit chaotic, but it's part of the ambiance. Everyone is friendly and the staff is efficient and seemed to be adequately staffed for the long lines. Don't get intimidated by the chaos outside, they move pretty quick and the custard is so good! My favorite treat is the mocha and chocolate concrete, but I've tried a couple of flavors and none have disappointed.

As we pulled in, we could see it was pretty busy for a Saturday, and the kids could barely wait to get something cold and sweet. My wife and I ordered malts -- I had peanut butter, and she had chocolate. The kids went with micro cones: Jade chose strawberry, and her friend got vanilla. Everything was delicious, and everyone enjoyed exactly what they ordered. Whenever we're craving something cold, fresh, and satisfying, Ted Drewes is always the best choice for our family. Great treats, great atmosphere, and always worth the stop.

Cyrano's

For a last minute, celebratory dessert stop, Cyrano's hit the spot…read more My partner and I went because we saw a Google review that mentioned the bread pudding being so delicious that it "altered his brain chemistry." Honestly that's what sold us! Arrived and promptly ordered that dessert and the carrot cake. Then the server told us of their "to die for" tiramisu and my partner immediately said yes. WOW let me tell you from a first hand experience two people do NOT need three desserts. Cyrano's gives you AMAZING portions. Just one would have been enough lol. Anyways, the carrot cake was my favorite. It was so big I had enough to take home! The tiramisu was good but it was being overpowered by the carrot cake that evening. As for the brain chemistry altering bread pudding.... That google review was 100% correct. It was delicious. 10/10. No notes. Please order it if you go to Cyrano's. The ambiance was a little dated but still looked nice. The staff was kind and quickly resolved the missing ice cream situation.

Now that it is almost summer, I am looking forward to coming back here often! They have a dog friendly patio! The inside is somewhat small but they do have some tables to sit at and enjoy your treat. Staff was friendly and quick even though she was by herself. I cannot wait to come back.

Great location to sell beignets, right across from a Cajun restaurant…read more The service was friendly, but the prices are too high: ($8 for 3 biegnets, $2 more for a small cup (maybe 2 tablespoons) of thin raspberry jelly as a "sauce") My order was hot and freshly fried, which was good, but the dough was too thick.

I always enjoy whatever I get here, especially the triple chocolate concrete. Their Biscoff flavored concrete is also a great seasonal flavor. Service: no complaints, sometimes it gets busy here, but they always handle it well. Ambience: I usually go through the drive-through and have no problems. On summer days it's nice to stand and wait in line, but there aren't really any places to sit inside and there are just a couple of benches outside. There's more than ample parking though.

I hate to leave a bad review, but it was the weirdest interaction.. or lack there of, I guess??…read more The website and the hours on the door say it closes at 10pm. I got there around 8:45pm. As I was walking to the door, I see a man cleaning the tables. He walks toward the door as I'm walking up to it. We're literally standing face to face with the door in between us. I smile, he is stone faced. I go to open the door as he walks away. The door is locked. I try a few more times, thinking maybe it's me. I look around at the hours again, but next to it is a "we're open" sign. I try maybe 3-4 times more before I give up. I walk to the window and he's sitting at a table toward the back, looking at me. We just look at each other, then he looks at his computer. I turn toward my car, then turn back around and he's still looking at me! I sat in my car, confused. He never looked back up from his computer, so I left. Highly disappointed.

This was my second time coming to this place…read more The staff is so inviting and friendly and are willing to answer any and every question you have. They made a fresh pot of coffee and even went the extra mile to go get ice as we came in later in the evening and they had run out. I did tell them they didn't need to, but he insisted which I thought was outstanding. This quaint little café is so charming inside. It allows people to gather eat a sweet treat and have general conversation conversations where you can actually hear one another. They do have outside seating too. The chocolate cake was soft and as a non-cake lover I found this very delicious. Definitely worthy of sharing. I ordered a quiche to go. I had mentioned they didn't have the spinach feta pastry that I had before. The gentleman stated we have some in the back, I'm happy to get you one. So I ordered that too. And although this was only our second time coming, the fact that they'll make a fresh pot of coffee in my opinion is key to a great café. I will keep this in my rotation of places to go.

It is so rich and flavorful with the right amount of nuts, coconut and Caramel and when I bite into it it takes me back to my childhood and reminds me of my mother's German Chocolate Cakes which she was well known for in the community.

For studying, the space is really great. Good amount of tables, enough room to spread out, and there are charging ports which is a non negotiable for a long study session. The workers are friendly too. Oh and there's an ice cream shop attached to it. It's such a well rounded spot, whether you're coming to grab a quick bite, study for a few hours, or treat yourself to ice cream after. Highly recommend!

Another friend did the soup and sandwich combo and loved it. Our server was really sweet and forgot a couple things but honestly given how slammed they were I completely get it. The bread lives up to the hype. Definitely a must if you're in the area and want a really solid lunch.
