I found my new favorite ice cream!! But so sad that it's 3.5 hours away from home!…read more We had lunch nearby and before we headed out on our roadtrip back home, saw this ice cream shop and decided to stop by. The two teenagers working were friendly and helpful. Provided samples when we were trying to choose between flavors. I went in there thinking I was going to get a scoop of their coffee heath, but once I sampled their salted Oreo, I fell in love. The sweet and salty and creaminess of that ice cream was so perfect!! A couple things that I found do awesome in this store.. they have self serve water in the dining area! So many ice cream places make you purchase bottled water if you get thirsty after your sweet treat. They also have shakers with sprinkles at tables!! How awesome!! I will be dreaming about that salted Oreo ice cream til we finally meet again.

With so many options, I may need to find more reasons to visit Grimes. The Cookie Monster ice cream was calling my name.

First I just want to say I ordered this on a whim because my normal smoothie place was already…read moreclosed. I ordered a smoothie and large froyo for delivery. It is really sad when I mostly just taste ice in my smoothie and my froyo is not even halfway filled with froyo. I dug into the toppings to see how full of froyo it is and marked a black line on my photo to show how ful this is. It has more toppings on it then froyo. I did not get my moneys worth when it comes to froyo from here And I cannot get anyone to answer the phone. I have now called 3 times to try and get in contact with them. I also got food poisoning which is slightly dusturbing. Will not ask for delivery again Update: Dealing with Grubhub is a gem. I have never had a problem with them and normally if something is wrong I just call the restaurant and I am good. But because I had food poisoning and wanted a refund the manager, who was not in the store, Alan Rudin was a condescending ass. He should not be a manager because he uses no customer service at all. The girls at orange leaf called him and let him know what was going and he told them to have me call him or I could come back tomorrow when he was actually there. I decided to call him and he then proceeded to ignore my call. It took 2 tries to get a hold of him and by then I was not happy. He proceeded to tell he would do nothing to help and it was not his fault. Well here this, Alan Rudin. I am contacting the department of health for your lack of care about food safety in your establishment.

Hands down best soft serve I have ever had. I never would have thought I'd find it in a small town…read morein Iowa. I would compare this creamy soft serve to Dairy Queen, except even better! They also have the best cookie ice cream sandwich I've ever had. Thelma's cookie sandwiches blew my mind. There was inside and patio seating available. The inside is very cute and quaint and there are sooooo many options to choose from. The drive through was also very convenient for small orders. This place is ran by high schoolers, so have patience. They did mess my order up a couple times, but the ice cream is so worth it. I wish I was from the area because I would literally come here every day if I could.

The end of the season is fast approaching…read more We stopped by for dessert. The crowd was all happy and enjoying the lovely weather while waiting for their orders. Everyone inside Snookies was buzzing around the inside. The interior was extended to house all the goodies and options. Ordered a small chocolate malt and hubby got a large marshmallow malt. They were both fantastic. We got our orders and headed back to the car while the crowd continued to grow. Love this place forever.

First off, they do not sell ice cream. It's soft serve, and it's overpriced…read more Next, you'll never see more than one adult inside. They hire children. By Iowa law, 14-year-olds can work part-time. I wouldn't normally have a problem with that, but on more than one occassion it became clear that the boy or girl who was working the cash register was fine working the charge/debit, but did not know how to make change when I paid in cash! In short, don't call it ice cream, price it reasonably, and give the register help a short math test before hiring them.

So sad to write a bad review about a place I do enjoy the product from, but the staff completely…read moreruined my experience. 3/10 of the flavors were empty. 3 girls worked behind the counter chatting with friends while nearly all of the toppings were empty. Two registers were open but one of the girls was chatting with friends instead of checking people out, leading to a backup of nearly 10 people in a line. Again, I love Menchies when the product is stocked. Hard to enjoy an experience when none of the options are even stocked and staff seems to care more about social hour.

The place is immaculate and they have both indoor and outdoor seating options. For all my friends of the High Trestle Trail it literally is footsteps from their front door, you can eat their ice cream and ride your bike! WIN- WIN!!! The ice cream selections are amazing, and so many its is hard to choose, but i did! We got massive scoops of yummy, creamy deliciousness on a fresh and crispy waffle cone, of which they have several types to choose from. The workers on this particular day were fantastic, attentive and fast, They even hooked us up with some pup cups to go! (The dogs thank you!) If you are feeling like rewarding yourself or just have a hankering for something delicious and Ice Cream fits the bill, pop on in to the Uptown Dairy and try their treats! You will not be disappointed!
