WEEKENDER BLOG

Really. We have so many ice cream shops in Cedar Falls that you can enjoy a frozen treat every day of the week! Actually, with so many options at each shop, enjoy a different treat every day of the year!

4 Queens

1310 W 1st Street, Cedar Falls

Choose their popular drive-through window or step inside to order their soft-serve ice cream and sit outside on benches and picnic tables. Enjoy one of their frozen coffee crunches, a Flavor Burst, a Snowstorm, a Snowie, smoothie, float, malt, sundae or shake. Yum!

Cedar City Creamery

110 Lincoln Street, Cedar Falls

Cedar City Creamery is conveniently located along Cedar Valley Trails just over the bridge north of the Cedar Falls Downtown District. Many sweet treats are available including Snow Creams, cones, shakes and malts, sundaes and homemade cookies. Did we mention they have a drive-through window?

Chocolaterie Stam

122 Main Street, Cedar Falls

Gelato! Lower in fat than ice cream, gelato is a creamier and flavor-packed option. In July 2021, flavors included lemon lavender, wild berry pancake, coconut joy, lemon cheesecake with raspberry, vanilla almond and chocolate raspberry. We mentioned the date because flavors change often. They also have delicious chocolates, cold and hot drinks and their own line of bagged coffees.  Look for their gelato cart at local events!
 

Cold Stone Creamery

6421 University Avenue, Cedar Falls

Made on the premises daily, Cold Stone ice cream is considered a premium ice cream (due to its butterfat of 12-14%). The choice of flavors may seem endless as they customize your ice cream selection with an array of mix-ins on a frozen granite stone.   
 

Culver’s

401 Viking Plaza Drive, Cedar Falls

Who hasn’t heard of Culver’s and their fresh, frozen custard? You can choose shakes, malts, floats and concrete mixers (custard mixed with your favorite toppings). They have a convenient drive-through window.
 

Hansen’s Dairy

127 East 18th Street, Cedar Falls

Choose from their homemade soft-serve or hard ice cream. Their hard ice cream comes in prepackaged half-gallons, pints and half-pints in more than 20 flavors like Brownie Batter, Candy Bar, Cake Batter, Mint Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Yum, Caramel Cup and Coffee. Their soft-serve ice cream is also made at their creamery and is a lighter option to their hard ice cream.
