How did I go this long without reviewing my favorite ice cream shop in town? Hearkening back to the days when I worked at the ill-fated Wild Things store downtown (now the new Zio's apparently), and Ted & Wally's was located next door, I've loved this place longer than most of my current restaurant crushes. They make unique ice cream flavors the old fashioned way, and have been since 1984 in Lincoln (1986 in Omaha). Sure the place has changed locations and hands, but it's a classic establishment now and hopefully will be for many years to come. And their 'mix-ins' beat that blizzard thing hands down. I for one would rather have my snicker's bar pieces mixed in by hand with ice cream spoons on a cold marble slab right in front of me... wouldn't you? (if not, feel free to go across the street to Maggie Moo's you chain-lover.) I haven't been for about a year, but I find it hard to believe it's possible to have fallen so far so fast... so when the weather warms up I'll go back and write an update, but for now much love to the T&W. read more

Went to Ted and Wally's today and enjoyed our ice cream! We tried the lemon custard, white chocolate and strawberry, and the puppy chow. The puppy chow was especially good. We always love the decor and the large selection of flavors. Service was quick and workers were friendly.

A charming ice cream shop, nestled in the heart of Omaha's Old Market. We try to stop in with our daughters whenever we get the chance. Be prepared for a line out the door in the warmer months. Trust me, it's worth it! While they have the go-to favorite flavors, we are always excited to see what special concoctions they come up with each time we visit.

When we first moved to Omaha, Ted and Wally's was the spot for ice cream. Since then, I think Coneflower Creamery has challenged its supremacy. However, Ted and Wally's is still a very good ice cream shop and easily dominants the Old Market when it comes to be one of the few desert oriented shops. Having not had ice cream here for several years, our experience this past weekend was a reminder about how good their ice cream is. To avoid the crowds, we came in a little after 11 AM on Saturday. We ordered three cones for our older kids and a 3-scoop dish to share. First off, I will echo the comments of other reviewers and say that the portions were much larger than I remember. The 'children's' size is big enough to satisfy a regular sized adult and give a child a stomachache. I would say that the flavors are just a cut below Coneflower's, but I do prefer the creaminess of Ted and Wally's. The restaurant itself has a classic diner feel. My experience has been that the staff is composed of young kids. While you will get the usual unexcitedable, somewhat disinterested attitudes of younger people (I was like that too), they are helpful and generally courteous. I have one suggestion. Some of their flavors are vague and they do not identify what is in the mixed flavors. We ran into an issue where the Cherry Mash had peanuts and peanut butter something in it. We got it for our all our kids, and one of them has an allergy to peanuts. It was on us to check and thankfully I tasted it before he could eat it, but it would be helpful to list the ingredients of flavors of those types. read more

Didn't know what to do in Nebraska when I was visiting, so I went downtown to get ice cream! This was a recommended ice cream place by my cousin that lives here. They let us sample their flavors but there wasn't much to choose from. I was debating between blood orange and girl scout thin mint, I eventually decided on one scoop of thin mint. It costs $0.89 extra for a waffle cone but I was only here for a couple days so I decided to get it anyways. read more

My friend who is originally from Omaha recommended this ice cream place when I was in town visiting. they are known to make homemade ice cream from scratch, and made in the old-fashioned way with the slow churning action with rock salt and ice (reminded me of when we did the ice cream activity in science class!). They have daily flavors, and I had a scoop of the German Chocolate Cake - it was creamy, and you can taste a hint of the salt; nice and chocolatey, but not too overpowering. It was a nice treat. I am glad I was able to check them out! +homemade ice cream, made from scratch +slight hint of salt read more

We have been to several ice cream places in the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately this was our least favorite. Although the place was very busy and was a really cute place, there was not anything special about the flavors. My husband ordered vanilla bean because he was not thrilled with the flavors he tried. He said there was no flavor to it. I tried the red husker which was strawberry and cherry and black bottom zucchini bread. Honestly it was nothing to write home about. read more

Back here again and, I guess it's flavor dependent...but this time I really liked the selection. They had ube mochi and cardamom! Two of my favorite flavors. The ube I've had many times, but they mixed in mochi with it, which was a new for me and I loved it. Just about every other bite, gave you a chewy perfectly moist bit of Japanese goodness. The only other ice cream shop that I've had ube at was Mitchell's in SF. Now the cardamom was definitely a surprise to see on the menu. I normally get the three twins cardamom as my go to. So as soon as I saw it, I had to get it. It was not a disappointment. For those of you who have never tried cardamom, you need to try it. It's like a vanilla base with a twist. Cardamom is similar to the ginger plant. read more

Everyone walking out of this place always has a smile on their face. It's cholesterol in a cone and worth every lick. The ice cream 18% butterfat that is made from local dairy or vanilla is 100% pure Madagascar vanilla Dutch chocolate is made from scratch with cooked coca It is slow churned with real ice and rock salt. When I got there, most of the flavors were gone. I was feeling adventurous so I tried the vegan ambrosia coconut and a scoop of vanilla clothes. Both were fantastic. Normally, I would never order vegan ice cream so it was a real treat to find that it was so good I would actually considered ordering it in the future, even if a full-fat chocolate variety was available. Speaking of which, I've since gone back for Orange Spice Chocolate (awesome) and dutch chocolate (also awesome). read more

After living here for three months I finally mobbed down to the Old Market location on a balmy Saturday. There are nice areas to sit in and out of the building.

Bright and flavorful, perfect for a hot summer day. This is such a kid friendly ice cream shop. They have coloring pages and crayons available, which I thought was a very nice touch. Not expensive at all and offer mini sizes that are still large enough portions for adults. Such a gem of an ice cream shop!

During my trip to Nebraska for the US Open Badminton in Council Bluffs, Iowa, I stumbled upon a gem in the Old Market area - Ted and Wally's Creamery. I was greeted with an amicable atmosphere. This delightful ice cream shop left such a great impression that I ended up visiting twice! On my first visit, I was with a group of friends, and we all indulged in the Turtle Pie ice cream. The moment I took a bite, I was met with mouthwatering satisfaction. The flavors were rich and perfectly blended, making it a truly enjoyable treat. My second visit was with a friend, and this time I opted for the Keto Peanut Butter Chucks. It didn't disappoint either! The uniqueness of the flavors at Ted and Wally's is what sets it apart. I was told that the ice cream flavors change daily, so it's always a delightful surprise. If you get the opportunity, don't miss it! Although I had a wonderful experience at Ted and Wally's, I must admit that having experienced Salt N' Straw in California, I find myself slightly partial to the latter. Like Ted and Wally's, Salt N' Straw also specializes in peculiar and unique flavors like butter, olive oil, and bacon with their whacky out of the world combinations. All in all, if you find yourself in the Old Market area, Ted and Wally's Creamery is definitely worth a visit. The flavors are exceptional, and the overall experience is positive. Don't forget to try their daily specials, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. But if you have a chance to visit Salt N' Straw in California, that's an ice cream adventure you won't want to miss either! read more

This ice cream store is an experience. They make all their ice cream and it is amazing. Sometimes the lines can be long, but toally worth the wait. Great store in the Old Market and a stop you don't want to miss! Love Ted and Wally's! It's Community Appreciation Week at Toast, and I'm feeling extra grateful for the restaurants and retailers in my community who work hard to deliver unforgettable memories. There are so many little details that matter in the hospitality industry, and we appreciate all that you do! This post was made in connection with a Toast promotion. read more

This is one of the best places to experience real home made ice cream. They always use the best ingredients and are not afraid to experiment with wild and exotic flavors. You can always get a taste of any flavor before you buy. It does get very crowded in the warmer weather but to me, it is worth waiting for. Great employees.....they move as fast as they can during long lines but let's face it......it's the customers who cannot make up their minds and keep trying stuff that cause the real delay. Love this place! read more

It would be reasonable to expect that a Midwestern city would offer some high quality local ice…read morecream, and this place appears to be the standard-bearer here. Branded as "Farm to cone", they have an exciting flavor variety to intrigue the adults in the room, of which there were quite a few. I sampled a more classic mint chocolate chip and a more experimental basil flavor with white chocolate chips, both kind of thematically similar. Both flavors hit hard, and the house waffle cone was thinner than I expected but pleasingly browned and it held up well. While the focus on dairy is expected, they do offer several sorbets for those whose dietary needs require it. Business was vigorous even on a midweek night, and I would note that for an ice cream place in an area where the sun does not set in summer until almost 9, they close on the early side, so hurry on over.

We visited the Blackstone District location, but the other one had no parking and the area was so sketchy. Blackstone though is going through construction so we had to drive around, but we found street parking right in front! The shop is very cute, but small! I think service was friendly, I think I was just distracted with how many options there were! The ice cream flavors were interesting and I went with the basil white chocolate - it was so basil forward and I LOVED that. It had bites of white chocolate and I think it mellowed out the basil for me. Still, my favorite. My husband ordered cinnamon cheesecake for himself, and a tart cherry crumble - both of these were lovely! Seating is very limited as there is a bench inside with two round tables, but they are so close together you might as just sit outside at another set of two tables. Decently priced for gourmet ice cream and I loved the shout out on their wall of local farmers that supply certain ingredients!

After ordering, it took about 10 minutes to get our order, which was fine because we weren't time-constrained and each item takes a bit to make. Each item was good but not sure if it's worth the full $10+, in my humble opinion. They were good but there wasn't much actual ice cream there, but a lot of the add-in's like graham crackers, whipped cream, and a toasted marshmallow, (or similar items). In any case, my daughter loved it and that's all that matters. I'm sure we'll go back in the near future.
