Zeppe's Italian Water Ice - Italian Near Me - Ogden, Utah

Obviously their products are amazing, with affordable prices for the quantity, the hours of operation is nice, but my favorite is the variety of flavors. I could literally have an Italian Ice every.single.day! The main reason I chose to post a review is for the staff. Management has chosen to hire mostly teenagers (understandable) and am impressed with the caliber of workers they seem to attract each year! Thank you for hiring, training, mentoring, and creating and safe and fun culture of service! read more

I ordered a large Lemon custard, price just over $8 with tax. I pulled in back to eat it. I took about 3 bites and it tasted nothing like lemon. It tasted like sour milk. Took it up to get it exchanged for something else. I settled on a Non Dairy cherry item. They tried to charge me an additional $7 for it. I stated that I was not going to pay. They stated that I had eaten it 3 bites and it was what I ordered so they would not exchange it. Created a bit of an argument with the employees in order to get my new one without charge. They still did not understand the concept of honoring or standing behind their product, and probably did not check the rest of the stuff for future sales. At least the kids addressed me as sir. Respectful box of rocks. read more

I love Rita's Italian Ice and when we discovered North Ogden had their own Italian ice spot, we had to try (also because it's so dang hot!). What's good to note is that they have a "drive thru" option where you pull up and someone comes out to take your order. We opted to park on the street since the drive thru was blocking our path to the back parking lot. We ordered two kid sized custards with Italian ice: one with strawberry and vanilla custard and strawberry peach ice, and a vanilla custard with root beer ice. Both came out quickly and were tasty. read more

Good but overpriced, patio is nasty with bees and flies everywhere. If they would just invest a little back into the business by cleaning the patio my review would be better. Kids working look miserable, move slow and hardly smile. read more

My family LOVES Zeppe's! They always want to go, hot or cold, nothing stops them from wanting a Zeppe's. I recommend their coconut creme ice with the chocolate custard icecream, it tastes like an almond joy. My kids love the tigers blood, cotton candy, and vanilla custard. read more

Great service from the kids that work there. Always great shakes, custard and shaved ice. My favorite is the banana crème pie shake, takes like you are eating the pie! Definitely check these guys out, they are great! read more

Takeaway only applies to this place, unless it's warm outside. There are a few places to sit and enjoy your Italian ice. The flavors are great, the custard is incredible. They tend to get very busy on really warm summer nights, but the wait is worth it. They had a special cinco de Mayo concoction with mango and pineapple flavors served with chamoy and Tajin, it was so delicious. I really hope they bring it back next year! read more

The least quality of product among Ogden's dessert vendors. Ices are not tasty enough. The fruit custard (peach) has a metallic taste to it that was very off-putting...and not worth the $5 price. The local competition beats Zeppe's hands down. read more

Not as good as Joe's Italian Ice in Anaheim, CA, but considering we lived so closeby during our utah stay, it is does the job pretty well! i can't complain and it's as good as it gets around these parts. Try the gelata, combination of water ice and vanilla custard. I've had the orange creme, tikki fruit, mango, black cherry gelatas. Amazingly good and perfect for summer nights out. super friendly staff, too! :) read more

ATTENTION YELPERS: I LOVE ZEPPES. When I was in high school this place was a nightly stop during the summers!!! This place is amazing. My favorite Italian water ice - nowhere else has compared yet. I love that they carry so many flavors nowadays and you can check out their FaceBook page to see what they have daily. My favorite is gelata (not gelata shake). It comes with custard at the bottom, Italian ice, and more custard!!! Mmmm, it's a perfect summer treat. I like root beer and orange creme the best, but I'll get other flavors based on my mood. They'll let you sample flavors too! The kids ice is a perfect size for a quick treat, but now that I only make it out there a couple of times a year I go big (and then head home) with my large gelata. read more

Zeppe's is delicious! They have a large variety of flavors. Can't decide which flavor to get, they allow you to sample a few flavors! Zeppe's is a popular local go to. Expect a long line, but a short wait time. read more

Yum! I love this place I've tried lots of combinations and flavors, but the pineapple is my favorite.

How hard is it for you guys to wipe off the outside of the ice cream cup before handing it to us?

I just moved down the street from Zeppe's in July from California, and I kept driving by late in the evening, noticing that it was always packed. I decided to give this place a try when I had family in town, and EVERYONE loved it! My favorite is Strawberry Paradise. I probably go here once a week, now! read more

Zeppe's Italian Water Ice - Italian Near Me - Ogden, Utah

Had to check it out, after ALL the hoopla from the locals. Grew up on the northeast US shore, so I grew up with really tasty, zesty Italian ices. Guess the bar, for me, is set a bit higher than what Utahns expect, in terms of this product, anyway. Found it to be mediocre and grossly overpriced. But, if you don't know any better, they can have you believe their ices are "out of this world" and worth every penny they're willing to have you pay for it. If you've had it from somewhere where people compete for your business by offering superior quality, these ices simply pale in comparison. No competition gives 'em no reason to put out a really good product....IMHO. On the other hand, it a great place to hang out with friends & family. Great location... read more

My daughters and I love this place. We counted down the days till they opened. They are always so nice, and they are honest company owned by honest people. This is basically my diet through the summer (probably not good but it's soooooooooo good) we love Zeppes and fully support them! If your looking for delicious flavors that you can actually taste! Here is the place to go! read more

This was the first stop we made when moving from out of state. We have now been back at least once a week. There is a reason they are typically so busy is because it's great! Employees are nice as well! read more

Holy cow! Even with Covid they still manage to deliver a sweet treat. Their dole whip is my favorite! It always has the right pineapple taste and I'm so in love with it! 10/10 Recommend!! read more

Several flavors and the custard is sooo good. Highly recommended in a hot day or night :)

Truly life changing. Their mouth-watering, one of a kind, absolutely INCREDIBLE desserts will leave you wanting more. I promise you once is not enough. 15/10 recommend. Family owned which makes it that much better. Support small businesses! read more

If I could give this place a million stars, I would! It's always super yummy and I never wait very long. They are very popular but are quick with orders. My recommendation is a aqua fusion gelata. They also have pretzels and my husbands favorite is the cinnamon sugar. We go weekly! read more

Your open this is great but one order at a time is not enough. Your workers are standing around and they should all be taking orders cause you have no room for cars in your drive way. Just an idea for you. read more

Freakin' Zeppe's... Every dang time we pass this place when they're closed, it makes me mad. Because I want it!!! I don't remember what they're called, but they have frozen custard in the bottom, the water ice stuff in the middle, and then another heap of frozen custard on top. I think the flavor I am obsessed with has the word "sunset" in there somewhere... Absolutely DEEEELISH! I've also had their Sour Blue Raspberry, and that's yummy, too. Took me back to my childhood. :) A note on the frozen custard: This stuff is legit. It's not your every-day soft-serve ice cream. Ooooohh no. It's way better. read more

One of the best places to stop for a cool summer treat. They have a huge variety of flavors, ranging in sizes small to however much your party needs. The price cannot be beat. The staff is super friendly and fast. Parking is limited, but eating it on the way home is just as much fun. I recommend my personal favorite, Lime Rickey. I had to hound the manager to add it to their menu, but he was a good sport on getting the flavor just right. Do not pass this place up!!! read more

This place hits the spot after spending long hours out in the sun. There is usually a line at both order windows but it moves fairly fast. They also let you sample any of the ice. Staff is always friendly. Over the years they have added additional flavors so on a typical night there will be 20 or so flavors. Black cherry is our favorite. I recommend always getting the gelata which is the ice with custard on the bottom and top of the cup with the Italian ice on the middle. Get two flavors at a time to try different ones out. You can also get an ice cream cone if you want. Plan on about 4.50 for a small and about 5.00 for a large. The small is enough for me. They also have kids sizes. Definitely stop here if you are in the area. read more

I frequent this place quite often, since it is on the way to my parent's house. I couldn't tell you how it compares (or doesn't compare) to real Italian ice, but I think the gelatas (custard with flavored ice) are quite delicious. Though gelata may be the main star, their soft pretzels are downright divine. I've never had the urge to drive out of my way for the gelata, but the pretzels are pretty tempting. Soft, fluffy and super fresh, I love the salt ones with jalapeno cheese sauce. read more

Delicious options. Strawberry horchata and coconut are my personal favorite! It's pretty hard to go wrong here. I like to ask the owner "what's on tap?" It gets a laugh like half the time. Try it. 1/2 and 1/2 flavors is the only way to go. Sometimes I request all the custard on the bottom to reduce my balancing liability (I call it "topless".) If you have ever lost your top (custard) then you know what I mean. read more

look... I love zeppes, they do great for me! the only reason I'm leaving such a bad review, is for one flavor... if I could leave zero stars, I freaking would. whatever you do, DONT GET BANANA. this is like bad had a baby with their own sister, and that's pretty bad! this is so bad, I wouldn't even wish this on my enemy's for the pity I would feel for them. so bad even, that we couldn't give it to starving children in Africa. it's so bad. DONT GET BANANA, I repeat DONT GET BANANA. but zeppes is great otherwise. read more

This place is amazing, mango Pina colada gelato is off the hook... Best Gelato's in Weber County. Fast friendly service.

I love this place. I bring my kids here all the time. Everything we order is made on site and delicious. There is usually a lot of people whenever we go because it's a popular place. Highly recommend if your in the mood for a sweet treat. They have so many amazing flavor options like the blue lagoon that tastes like pina colada or the strawberry and cream that tastes like fruity pebbles. Yum! read more

I love Zeppes! Cotton candy gellata shake is delicious if you can tolerate insane levels of cotton candy sweet. I sure can, so it's a must. My hubby is a little bit more normal with his flavors and prefers Mango. There's a sweet treat for everybody's palate. My aunt prefers the strawberry water ice keeping it more of a slushy, and the little ones love the plain vanilla and chocolate custard. Everyone has fun! read more

My husband and I LOVE Zeppe's! They have so many different flavors that rotate so it's good to have more than one favorite flavor. Some of our favorite flavors include- Sunset Splash, Lime Rickey, Grape, Aqua Fusion, Coconut Creme and Orange Cream- these last two are especially delicious with the vanilla Gelato. They make their pretzels fresh so I suggest trying one of those too. read more

You say you close at midnight. I called at 11:57 and you didn't answer. Not cool. Just kidding. I checked and you close at 11. My fault guys. You do you boo boo. #besticecreamever. #noticecreamitagelato #gelatoisbetter read more

Amazing Italian ice. Coconut cream with chocolate is to die for. I think this is my new go to in north OGDEN!

I love that it's open seasonally! We anticipate it every spring and cherish it all summer long! I had never experienced anything like Zeppes until moving to Ogden. We love it! read more

They are open spring to fall. They were amazing this year with Covid. They created a drive up order and car window delivery set-up. They still have their delicious custards and Italian Ice like always. Their fall flavors are my absolute favorite but I visit a few times a season and enjoy everything that I have tried. read more

Delicious they have a lot of yummy flavors! Blue raspberry and lemon are my favorite! I prefer the plain Italian ice but the mix of gelato is good too read more

Just tried the location in Syracuse for the first time and it hit the spot. Grabbed a kid size and it still was enough. Gelato Aqua fusion was the flavor. It consisted of gelato cream mixed with blue raspberry and green apple . You can choose between a cup or cone. Pretty busy place! read more

Zeppe's Italian Water Ice - Gelato Aqua Fusion. Blue Rasperry & Green Apple! - Italian Near Me - Ogden, Utah

This place is fantastic!!!!!!!!! and is super cheap for the amount of deliciousness that you get. The Italian water ice is refreshing, flavorful and is not horribly fattening or bad for you to boot :). You can also ask to mix the flavors 1/2 and 1/2 in your cup so you can enjoy 2 flavor mouthgasms instead of simply one. If you want to take it up a notch try the gelata, its custard ice cream thats super smooth and creamy with Italian water ice of your choice in the middle....sounds a bit iffy but is fantastically delicious read more
