I'm surprised I haven't left a review for here yet! This is a real hidden gem on the west side of Indy and my husband and I have been going here for years. The owner is SO sweet, always offering up samples and letting us know about the new flavors they have out. We most recently stopped in here for some scoops of strawberry ice cream after dinner Monday night, but will usually stop in here before or after taking the dogs on a walk at the nearby YMCA trail or Washington Township Park. It was the perfect way to kick off some warm weather and I highly recommend stopping in and trying one of their MANY delicious flavors of ice cream, sundaes, esquites, or mangonadas. read more

Such a beautiful day for some ice cream. Perfect timing too! As there was no one in when I stopped in. I was greeted upon walking in by a nice lady with a smile. Danny's has a great selection of flavors to choose from as far as ice cream. I sampled the Honeycomb and OMG!!!! It melted in my mouth. I tried the Cheeto Equite and to my surprise, it wasn't as spicy as I was thinking it would be. It's served warm. Personally, not my favorite because hot Cheetos is not my thing, but I can say that I've tried it. Now, the Churro Sundae is more of my thing. The churros are not made in-house. I opted for vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. I would have like a few more pieces of churros, layered throughout, but it didn't take away from my liking. I'd get it again on another visit. Danny's is a clean, well kept ice cream shop with good service. He's tucked away in a plaza; sitting off Rockville Road. But once you step inside, you'll be in a little bit of ice cream heaven. read more

Omg! I loved this place. The sweet lady was super attentive to my taste buds and everything I had was soooo good. I'm not usually a tajin fan but they seasoned everything just right. I will be back to try more things on the menu. read more

This ice cream shop puts chains to shame. Service was great. Built a perfect banana split, let us try flavors, and made it exactly the way we wanted. Prices are reasonable, especially compared to big places. There are a few small outdoor tables, great for good weather enjoyment! We will be back! read more

Did you know that Danny's Mexican Ice Cream made the list of Yelp's Top 100 Ice Cream shops in 2025? Seriously. As former Yelp CM Niki B. points out in her review, Danny started negotiating the lease for this shop while still in high school. He opened not long after he finished high school. His devotion to both quality and customer service has resulted in one of Central Indiana's best-rated businesses that still registers at 5 stars after 136 reviews (soon to be 137). Located in a small strip center in Avon directly on U.S. 36 (Rockville Road), Danny's is easy to get to and easy to fall in love with. At first, I wondered "Is this really Mexican ice cream?" There's a difference even beyond the flavors. Mexican Ice Cream, or "helado," has a difference in texture and ingredients. It's creamier, denser, and does often feature flavors many Americans might consider weird (Okay. Okay. I'll admit I can think they're weird). Mexican ice cream, known as "helado," is a popular frozen dessert that differs from traditional ice cream in texture and ingredients. Yes, you can get some more traditional flavors here - however, you can also get queso, tequila, corn, Mexican hot chocolate (which I LOVE), and others. While Danny's doesn't seem to have a website, they do have an active social media presence. There are accessible parking spots, a decent curb cut, and the location itself is easily wheelchair friendly. Prices are surprisingly good, the ice cream is awesome, and I've been impressed with the friendliness of employees. One slight caution - if you happen to drive around the building to get out, be careful if you drive back out onto the street. There's a weird concrete barrier that isn't super visible (or maybe I just wasn't paying attention). I'm so glad I finally made it to Danny's. It's a definite gem in Hendricks County and for sure worth a stop if you're in Avon. The shopping center is less than one block east of the Rural King and it's definitely worth a visit. I look forward to trying other flavors. read more

love love love So many unique flavors to try from the Dubai chocolate strawberries to the peanut butter + jelly ice cream. such friendly staff as well. Amazing local spot! read more

This was our first time at Danny's, and we were not disappointed! We ordered the Cappuccino Oreo Icecream, which was super creamy and very flavorful. The waffle cones were also really high quality so I would recommend those too. The lady who served us was super nice, and we were very pleased with our whole experience. If you're looking for a good treat in Hendricks County, I highly recommend Danny's! read more

Anyone that knows me, knows I love me some Mexican ice cream. I have been trying to make it here for months. I just dread driving in that Avon traffic. You will find this gem in a small strip mall. Being that it is in a strip mall, there is a decent sized lot available, that it shares with the other businesses, to park. I visited here during their "down season". They are much busier and has a lot more offerings, such as elote, and Cheetos dishes, in the summer. There are a few tables set up outside to sit and enjoy your treat, but I am sure that spot is not very popular in the Winter months (when I visited). I sat in the shop's decent sized dining area. It is very clean and colorful and had Latin music playing throughout the shop. The woman working the shop during my visit was very friendly and helpful. You gave me suggestions and offered samples of the scooped ice cream. She was awesome. The shop offers bottled Mexican drinks, homemade scooped ice cream, popsicles, and special ice cream treats. After a long deliberation, I decided to go with the strawberries and cream. It was one of the best that I had. It had oatmeal, cream, strawberries, and whipped cream. I will admit, that I took the woman's suggestion and tried some samples of the ice cream. The freezer was full of a variety of flavors. They have traditional and exotic/hard to find flavors. They were all good, but the one that stood out to me was the corn ice cream. MMMMmmmmm! It was so amazing, I had to get a quart of it to take home (and not to share either). This is a nice little shop that offers some really good frozen treats. Danny hit a home run with this joint. Even though they have a lot more to offer in the Summer, it is still a good place to visit during the colder months. I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

I've been to Dannys, probably over 25 times. And every time it's five star. What keeps me coming back? Homemade ice cream at a very reasonable price! Try the churro sundae! Homemade sundae with homemade churro! Does it seriously get any better than that? They warm the churro up and in two flavors of your choice they cut it up and put it throughout the Sunday. You get the option of caramel or chocolate drizzle. I've tried both, but the caramel drizzle is my favorite. If they have their Coconut ice cream. It goes very well with this! Today they did not have the coconut ice cream so I went with The coffee ice cream. It was delicious. I've tried several flavors and none have ever disappointed. But my all-time favorite is the coconut. When they have it, it's a hot item and goes quickly. They are always super friendly and give great suggestions. They always ask if you want to sample anything. There's always one or two flavors. I've never tasted so I sample those. There's nothing special about the inside of the shop. It's small ice cream shop with a few tables. In the warmer weather, there are a couple tables outside. You may also get a pint or quart of ice cream to take home. Check them out I promise you will not be disappointed. Unless you don't like ice cream! read more

Took my little mini me to get ice cream and he loved it just the same as he did last time. I thought it was pretty good but the flavor i was craving they were out of unfortunately. He got a chocolate dipped cone with fruity pebble ice cream and I got a churro Sunday with chocolate oreo ice cream. We also got two sodas which were pretty good. They were out of a ton of flavors which is the only reason they got a 4 stars as most of the times had chocolate in them and I'm not a big chocolate person. read more

Finally stopped here after reading reviews for over a year. This is a great ice cream shop. It is not fancy. It has multiple flavors that are produced in house. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. My wife has gluten sensitivity and we were able to find the flavors that had no wheat in the mix. I went for the top prize, the banana split. It was too much and I should have gone for a double dip cone, but it WAS delicious. We have hit some touristy ice cream shops when traveling out of state. They charge way more for their ice cream. Danny's is quality at a fair price with delicious traditional selections plus the addition of some unusual flavors including "corn". Samples are cheerfully offered. This is not a fancy place, it is in a strip mall in Avon just west of an O'Reilly Auto Parts store. The handcrafted ice creams are worth the visit. read more

Insanely good ice cream. Choice of ice cream varies and makes the experience new every time.

Came by to try the mangonada, churro, and swirl cake ice cream. The mangonada was very interesting and probably best for people that like tamarind candy. I really liked the mango sorbet in it and would recommend that by itself as well. The swirl cake has vanilla cake and chocolate chips in it and was also good. I also enjoyed the churro, which was warm and soft on the inside with a slight crisp on the outside. Great spot for ice cream and dessert! Lots of interesting flavors to try! read more

Best ice cream around the Avon area. Highly recommend their vanilla. Service was fast and friendly!

I was back in at Danny's as once again my deal with my son is that I get him Ice cream after his orthodontist appointments. It works for me as I can get some too. I tried a new flavor this time which was the coconut ice cream. I do like coconut and it did not disappoint. Very smooth and creamy but not too sweet very enjoyable. I like the great prices too as their ice cream is pretty reasonable. read more

Two separate people had mentioned Danny's to me but I kept forgetting about it. Finally remembered and stopped in and it was a visit overdue. They have a great selection of flavors and I got to try a few - Chili mango was one that was very enjoyable. I settled on Coconut and Dulce de Leche. The scoops are hefty which was nice and the price is nit too expensive. When I checked in, I got a coupon but decided to save that for next time. Definitely worth the visit their flavors did not disappoint!! read more

Did i have any business eating ice cream today? No but that's none of anyone's business . i tried to get this raved about ice cream on tuesday at 3ish but when i pulled up the lights were off and no one was home. i was muy disappointed! Well today that open sign was illuminated and people were inside! this business is inside of a small shopping centre in avon i walked in and looked through the different flavors as well as up on the board at the different offerings. the worker answered a few of my questions about what flavors were and offered me samples. i decided on a scoop of strawberry cheesecake and butter pecan. i also got 2 churros. it took about 4 mins for my churros to be freshly warmed up so i dug into my ice cream. it was nice and smooth. my churros were perfectly chewy and crunchy. the portion was abundant. i spent $6 for 2 scoops and a churro. i'm sure i'll be back again another day read more

I drive over 30 minutes to come here. I'm not even sure how I found them, but I am so happy I did. They have the best ice cream. I have tried many of their flavors but the mango, spicy mango, and horchata are my top. I always get the mangonada. It is everything I could have ever wanted. I will usually get one a scoop of the spicy mango in it to add little bit of a kick. Their horchata has always been great and order their churros if they have them! read more

What had you accomplished by the age of 22?! Danny was negotiating lease space for his business while in high school and opened the doors to this delicious ice cream shop days after graduating. Not only did he open it, but this is one of the businesses in Indy with the most consistent, five-star reviews. Congrats!! That's a big deal!! Now on to that ice cream everyone is raving about. It lives up to the hype! The owner makes it in-house daily and creates a lot of traditional Mexican ice cream flavors that are still being introduced in the USA. Flavors I've tried: queso, tequila, corn and strawberry sorbet Flavors I want to try: queso & blackberry, horchata, Mexican hot chocolate, mango chili, micholadas Post-ice-cream thoughts: Queso and corn are the favorites. The queso ice cream is creamy and tastes almost like cheesecake. Delicious! The tequila was surprisingly good (I'd describe it as a slightly tequila-tasting vanilla ice cream) and the strawberry sorbet was made with fresh strawberries. The corn is one of their bestsellers, as it's also creamy and made with local corn. Definitely come support this local, driven biz owner and you'll fall in love with the ice cream while you're at it! read more

We went here on a Sunday night, and there was still a crowd. The person working was incredibly nice. The ambiance is just a little ice cream shop. She let us try as many samples as we wanted and kept showing us others we should sample. I got the mangonada, and it was very good. A little heavy on the Chamoy for me, but, if you like chamoy and tajin, this is for you. My partner ordered horchata and tequila ice cream, which was fantastic. This is such a good spot!! read more

If you are ever nearby this is a must stop. They have amazing and out of the box flavors like corn and queso. (The queso kind of reminds me of eggnog) They also have regular flavors. We ordered the coffee and a pistachio. Both were 5/5. Might have been one of the best coffee ice creams. It was late and dark so we didn't take any photos but will definitely come back! read more

How have I lived near Avon for so long and never been here. My new fave ice cream spot. They had a huge variety of flavors and unique names to top it off! I tried the Nutella and it was super yummy, but opted for Butter pecan- basic I know! Can't pass up a good butter pecan, my husband had white chocolate and we both enjoyed fresh churros! They offer snow cones, drinks, & other refreshments as well. Pricing was great in my opinion. It was maybe $7 for two ice creams, 2 churros, and a water! read more

Normally I'm not a dessert person. I prefer to fill up on my savories, and if I'm feeling saucy later I might treat myself to a cup of coffee. But my family, they know I have a soft spot for Danny's. It's probably because they have a really good coffee ice cream, and that's enough to fool my brain, but whatever, I really like this place. Danny's serves really high-quality homemade ice cream, so if you're like me and you're burned out on every new ice cream place in town serving Hershey's or Chocolate Shoppe ice cream, you'll probably appreciate Danny's. Yeah, yeah the flavors are really good, and some unique like corn or queso (they serve traditional flavors as well), but texturally it's the best ice cream I've had. Super creamy, and the perfect temperature, so I've literally never gotten a scoop of ice cream that with some bonus darkened, frozen unpleasant ice crystals, none of those shenanigans at Danny's, thank God. Here's my recommendation. Go to Danny's, and get a couple scoops of ice cream, if you want to play it safe and get a traditional flavor like vanilla or mint chocolate chip, go for it. But when you go home, grab a pre-packed half portion of the mangonada, and give it a shot when you get home. I'll admit, sometimes I fancy myself a food person, and I was a little intimidated by the mangonada because it's a bit more savory that what I'm used to, but the half-portions are good size for an entry-level mangonada person like myself, and you'll be glad you tried something different. I'm looking forward to giving their fresas con crema a try. read more
