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.

$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.

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.

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.

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!
