I love it here! It has the feel of an older ice cream parlor, and I love their unique ice cream flavors! I've been going there for years. They have lots of gluten-free options. My favorite thing to get is a butterscotch Sunday with pecans, whipped cream, and a cherry. I've had it both with vanilla as the base and with butter pecan as the base. I recommend using vanilla as the base, but butter pecan as the base is good too. I've also enjoyed the cookie dough, the cookies n cream, and the lemon custard. read more

Oh Heyn's What an absolute gem we are spoiled with here in North Liberty. Easily my wife and I's favorite ice cream spot! When we visit, I typically go for the Oatmeal Crème Pie and Chocoholic Delight hard serve scoops. I've given several flavors here a try and none of them have missed. The young workers here are always pleasant. Not many things beat a walk to Heyn's on a summer night! read more

Wonderful ice cream shop with plenty of interesting flavors...I loved the chocolate covered cherry! Banana pudding was also excellent. There was only one sorbet (strawberry), however, when we were last there (I was told it was very good). Service is friendly and helpful and there is some but not a lot of seating...this is definitely a place that will put a smile on your face! read more

To walk in is like entering sweet dreamland!! Staff is nice and friendly. Every flavor imaginable. I want to try them because the have 14% butter fat. Butter pecan and chocolate almond. Way too many almonds made the ice cream crunchy and over powering. I did not find either one flavorful. Atmosphere was pleasant. Parking can be a challenge at peak times. Don't mind the crowds staff is fast and keeps it moving!! read more

Cute little ice cream shop! I've heard it gets busy but when I came there was a super short line and we got our ice cream very quickly. Lots of different flavors to choose from. I enjoyed a scoop of monster mash which was delicious. Definitely good value for the price! Would go back again read more

4.8* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 5* Service: 5* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $5 05/23/2024 Saw this place in a search while visiting the Amana Colonies earlier this year and looked forward to an opportunity to stop and give it a try. Got the opportunity while traveling from the Moline area to Waterloo with a little time to spare, so took advantage of the opportunity. The exterior was clean, modern and inviting - with a literal buzz of excitement, activity and energy surrounding the building. The interior was a little dated, but clean and inviting - drawing your attention to the product that we are all there to enjoy. Best of all, and the reason for stopping in the first place, was the delicious ice cream. We shared the hand-dipped Black Raspberry Truffle (see picture), as we had already eaten a large dinner - and thoroughly enjoyed every bite! If you are in the area and love ice cream - you will definitely want to stop at Heyn's! If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow. read more

Bit of a different review. My son requested to be a Rubik's cube for Halloween. And he requested it spin. Cue hours of planning, which included needing a cylinder for the spinning mechanism. On a whim, I contacted Heyn's with a crazy request to buy one of their gallon ice cream containers. They easily could have turned me down. Instead, after a lot of explaining, the manager made an accommodation for this project. The end result would not have been possible without them going above and beyond for a customer. This place is awesome in general, delivering unique and delicious ice cream, but this shows a level of customer care that many of the big chain stores are missing as they aren't caring for their staff and customers. Huge thank you and they have life-time customers and bragging rights to a spinning Rubik's cube costume. read more

Heyn’s Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Liberty, Iowa

Tried to capture all the flavors currently in the case- of course my OG favorite is the Monster Mash! Service was great and the girls helping us were super efficient and helpful. They let both me and my fiancé sample 2 different flavors before we made our decision! We decided on a waffle cone with two different flavored scoops. I believe the top scoop was turtle cheesecake and bottom was the monster mash. Limited seating inside but there is a park nearby where you can easily eat your ice cream! Just remember to bring extra napkins if it's a hot summer day Thanks Heyn's for a great after dinner snack. read more

This place is very special to the Iowa city area and they serve such delicious and amazing ice cream. Be inside is pretty and feels like a home. Nothing extravagant or fancy, but I like how they have seats so that you can wait for your order while they work on it. Since they are a smaller business, they can sometimes have longer weights, but it's usually not longer than 15 minutes total between stepping in and leaving. (I would not go here if you're in a rush.) (Also an FYI: they DO accept Apple Pay!) read more

Most fav ice cream in the area. Staff are always fantastic. Local kids, earning a buck. Location is great and close to the ball fields.

Service was fast even though it was really busy in there. The people were very helpful and polite. We went one day to try it out and decided to go back the next day of our trip since it was so good. read more

Yum! Try a little bit of everything -- you won't be disappointed! Heyn's is a great little ice cream shop with helpful and kind employees. We tried the monster mash, blueberry cheesecake, coconut, chocolate covered cherry, and a few others. They were all high quality, rich and delicious! We will be back to give the other flavors a try and find our favorite! read more

We love coming to this place for incredible ice cream. The servings are bountiful and the quality of ice cream is fantastic.

Leaving this review makes me hungry for ice cream again! Can't wait to go back read more

Heyn’s Ice Cream - Cotton candy, ice cream "single serve"... heaping! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Liberty, Iowa

The best ice cream place around! Even when the line is long, the employees are pros and the line moves pretty fast. They don't get frustrated if you want to try a couple samples so you can hopefully figure out which one you want more than the other. I usually get a child's double which equals out to about 1 1/2 regular scoops; that way I can get two flavors! My favorite combo is Praline and Coffee Oreo! Do it! Go there! Enjoy life (and ice cream!). read more

I got the mint chocolate chip ice cream and thought it was not bad, but it wasn't something I felt like it was really tasty that I would go back for. The staff was nice so giving it 4 stars vs. 3 stars. read more

After a few rounds of bowling in Cedar Rapids, we made a beeline out to this cute little North Liberty location just before closing. When we arrived, we were excited to find they were on extended hours presumably for the summer season. We weren't the only ones with a late-night ice cream craving as the place quickly filled behind us. There are several tables inside, but it was a gorgeous night so we found a spot on the patio next to some pup friends. We were each able to sample several flavors before making a decision, which is important because they have a zillion flavors! Several of which are yogurt or sherbet, many are also gluten free. They have several options to dress-up your dessert including banana splits, sundaes, root beer floats, and shakes. They also have to-go ice cream pints and pies for home. Everyone was pleased with their choices and the single scoop servings were generous. If you're gonna drive from CR for ice cream, this place is pretty worth it. read more

Terrific service, delicious ice cream and good prices. Highly recommend! We are new to town and wanted some good ice cream. Found Heyn's online and decided to give it a try. So happy we did. read more

Their ice cream is the best, bar-none. I only removed one star because I have heard the manager/owner expects a $20-22 work ethic from teenagers who are only getting paid, what, $11-12 part-time? AND on-call? Gimme a break. Such a Boomer mindset to succeed off other's backs and still not pay them enough for it. I recommend the S'mores and Butter Brickle! The Coffee Oreo is probably their best overall. read more

This is going to be a short review because most people like ice cream. Who doesn't like ice cream? Seriously? Would you even want to know somebody that doesn't like ice cream? I don't think so. (Shudder) If you are like most people, you should really check this place out. It has the best ice cream in the area. I would highly recommend the butter brickle. That is my all-time favorite ice cream. There are several things in this world which I take very seriously. Pizza being one of them and ice cream being another. Having said that, get ice cream from here. It's locally owned. It has really nice people working there. A great selection of ice cream. Check it out. I guarantee it will put a smile on your face read more

After seeing constant activity at Heyn's while regularly spending time at Penn Meadows park right across the street, I decided that I had to finally stop in. I've never been much of an ice cream enthusiast as an adult, but I wish I'd made my voyage over there months sooner because I might become an enthusiast after all. Great selection of flavors of ice cream, including seasonals. They also have options for those that eat gluten free, dairy free, or vegan. I tried the peach ice cream on my last trip and it was creamy and incredibly flavorful. Shoutout to how they're handling life during the pandemic. They have posted menus on the outside window, markings on the floor to keep customers separated, and are only allowing a certain number of customers in to get ice cream at a time. read more

I've lived in North Liberty, just up the street but have never come to Heyn's Ice Cream. I feel sorry for myself that I didn't come sooner! Good selection of ice cream, soft serve, sorbets, pints, cones, and sizes. Coming to Heyn's will hit the spot on a hot summer afternoon oooor, really anytime you want a cool, refreshing treat. I'm very impressed with their arrangement and signs to help us keep ourselves social distanced right now. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Can't wait to go back to try something else! read more

Louveeeee it!! No again Louvvvvveeee it :) i hope my emotions are coming out as this icecream is going in. This is the smoothest and the creamiest ice cream of Iowa. They have officially kicked cold stone creamery out of my life. Ok I have said it! I have tried their Blueberry Cheesecake, cake batter, mango, Peach, strawberry Black current chocolate chip, coconut chip and love all of them. Last pints remaining I have kept it for the last. My Fav is Black current chip and Peach. Their milkshakes are on the creamier side when compared with mcdonalds strawberry shake. Mcdonalds is thicker. Service is quick and welcoming read more

Heyn's is my happy place. Both locations are great and the service is always spectacular here. The girls are always so awesome and patient with my (slightly annoying) order. Every time I have ordered my twister, it has been made correctly and exactly how I have asked. The ice cream quality at Heyn's is like no other and that is why it is my favorite ice cream in Iowa. My personal favorite item at Heyn's is the monster cookie twister with reeses instead of MnMs.. if you are a peanut butter fanatic, then this is the ice cream for you. Fair warning though.. if you do ask for extra toppings, be prepared to have a twister packed full of them because they do not skimp. This cute location is down the street from Red's Alehouse, so we frequently visit it after dinners there. Definitely check out both of these places.. they arguably are the best North Liberty has to offer. read more

This place is the best. Like, best of the best. Why? Let's start with flavors. In addition to the classics, you have concoctions like monster cookie, blueberry cheesecake, and snickers. And seasonal flavors as well, aka justification for many a return trip. Um hello, yes please?! The quality? Excellent. I don't know if it's the Midwest dairy or what but the ice cream is soooo rich and (shocking, I know) creamy! The serving size? I have to get a kid's serving every time we go. They're THAT generous with the scoops. I would say it's almost TOO much but I refuse to believe there is such a thing when it comes to ice cream. So if you're not a huge dessert person, go for the smallest size or take it home and stick it in your freezer! The price? You get more than what you pay for. That's the best I can think to say it. I can't BELIEVE how cheap it is for how much high quality ice cream they give you, but I'm just sending up a silent prayer of thanks with every bite! When you're craving ice cream, there is nothing better. read more

Heyn’s Ice Cream - monster cookie flavor on the bottom, and that's a kid size! such generous portions! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Liberty, Iowa

We're always in the mood for Ice Cream and the addition of Heyn's to NL is music to our ears! Heyn's in Iowa City is deep and it was always a little too far to travel, but our first world problem is no more as we're now a stones throw away from IC bliss! This was the perfect addition to the area. Taking over the space where a couple businesses have been over the past 5 years, they've got plenty of room to showcase their 20+ flavors (Get Chocoholic Delight!) as well as the cooler of stuff to take home. Good amount of seating and plenty of space for loitering while you decide on which flavor will grace your lips. Bright and inviting, it's the sort of place that makes you excited to hang out and to come back. The kiddo cones are $1 which makes repeat trips more likely and the folks that work here are always very helpful and very nice. Glad to have the local favorite up North! read more

A Heyn's 'ku: Best ice cream ever. Brownie batter, monster mash. This stuff, I can smash. Heyn's had the best ice cream I've had so far in my life. Absolutely nothing beats a day at Lake Macbride followed by a kids double (the best deal EVER) of your favorite flavors. You truly can't go wrong, but here are some of my personal favorites. Coffee Oreo, Monster Mash, Brownie Batter and Cotton Candy. Agh, I'm craving some hardcore as I'm writing this. Heyn's is the best... now when are they going to open a location on the west side of Iowa City???! read more

HANDS DOWN best Ice Cream around. Super smooth and creamy. Very cute business. One of my favorite Ice Cream stores ever!

Heyn's is a simple ice cream shoppe with a wide variety of flavors to choose from. There is not much to the interior besides the ice cream displays, a couple of tables, and a small counter/stool area, but that's not a big deal considering most people pick up ice cream and go to hang out at the park that is kitty corner from the shop. They offer ice cream as well as soft serve. This allows patrons to select from their favorite kind of ice cream. Most people choose from the ice cream selections, though, seeing as they have so many unique flavors that you won't find in stores or at other restaurants in the area. It's a great pace to get your ice cream fix in North Liberty. It is definitely worth a stop if you are craving a sweet, cold treat. read more

Uh yep, Heyn's ice cream is quickly becoming my favorite ice cream shop in the area. Their selection can't be beat - soo many falvors! They have a ton of seating, including a really fun soda shop style bar at the back of the store, plus a kiddie table and chairs. My favorite detail though, is their location. They're right across the street from a surprisingly large park with a nice paved walking trail. Slurping up some ice cream while walking around the park and trying to soak up the last days of summer is definitely the perfect way to #treatyoself read more

Very nice staff. Clean. Easy in and out. Felt safe. Love supporting local businesses.

What's more to say?? Best ice cream in town. We walk there as a family at least twice a week!

Stopped in for a frozen confection while waiting on a bicycle across the street. Kind of a cool old building that has served multiple purposes over the years. Surprised at the number of flavors offered, counted well over 30. For me it was an easy decision, Oreo Twister. I probably need to take a walk on the wild side and mix it up once in while, but it's what I like and wasn't disappointed. The place was fairly busy, but moved along a a decent pace and nobody was irritable. Price was reasonable enough and both Kathy and I were quite satisfied with our dairy deserts. read more
