Wonderful, wonderful place. BEST ice cream in town. And the size of the scoops-oh my! Unique flavors and great cause to support!

Lately, the service has been getting atrocious. Can they teach the young waitresses some awareness? Me and my girlfriend came in on a weekday evening with about 3 other groups already there. They all got their food/ice cream before us as expected. We ordered, then another group of 4 came in, ordered, and received their ice cream before we did. One of the parties was a couple of young girls hanging out doing homework. Nothing wrong with that, but our waitress would go and sit to hang out with them every chance she got. They were obviously friends with all of the employees. Don't get me wrong, the ice cream, sandwiches, and milk shakes are top notch. But it's too bad they don't do a better job of hiring some waitresses that seem to care. It's like they're a bunch of high school friends running the place... read more

Very friendly and cute establishment. Good variety of flavors and toppings to choose from. The swiss chip orange is a great mix of choclate and orange and the banana walnut is the best banana ice cream ive had. Very sweet. read more

This place is already in excistence since 1979, and they are known for the La Palozaa, a $55,00 Ice cream tower. We were in the mood for some Ice cream, but $55.00 in Ice cream was a little too much for 4 grown men. The place, looks funny with the yellow seats, and circus animals on the wall. The Ice cream is good, not the best, but good. The servers are nice, we had a good laugh with Amanda, and she was very helpful. We ended up getting; 2 bananasplits and 2 Applepie with Ice cream. A cool place to take your kids or a group of friends and try the LA Palooza. read more

Went here with a few friends and it was alright. We ordered the sundaes with cookies and a brownie. They were supposed to be warmed but they weren't really. The ice cream was good but it wasn't anything special. I would say it was an average place. read more

Been here a bunch of times, but the service and speed of staff is declining. Food is yummy. Ice cream is delicious. It just takes WAY too long to get food. If you want to get lunch here, order ahead and hope they can get to making your order before you get there. Lost a whole lunch hour waiting for food that took 15-20 minutes to order when there were only 2 other tables, who had already completed their orders before we even walked in. Ended up having to take the food to go. Had ordered a shake as well. No service recovery, didn't offer a discount or free shake. Nothing. Ice Cream Company - get another grill and take care of your customers. Service recovery goes a long way. So does prompt service. Just said sorry it took so long. read more

I have always enjoyed going to the Ice Cream Co throughout the years. About a month ago a small group of close friends and myself decided to go here for dinner and ice cream and we had such a wonderful experience. The staff is so incredibly kind and accommodating. It is always a service with a smile, personable, and they go above and beyond. We decided to make the Ice Cream Co our regular biweekly location meet up to support this business for their great food and desserts and fantastic staff. I highly recommend trying this place out! read more

Great ice cream and ethos! Thank you for being such a wonderful part of the community, Ice Cream Co.!

I used to love going there!!!! They were the only ones, who made Toasted Almond Ice Cream. I would call up our friends and the 4 of us would come for Sundaes with this ice cream. But sadly they stop making it, so we no longer go there. The serves was always good and the food was good too. But not driving across town when I can't get the ice cream I love. read more

I remember this place being better a couple years ago. I took my girls and I here for lunch and ice cream on May 6th 2019 after a busy morning of appointments and errands. We had to wait a little longer to be served because there was a little rush of people and one waitress which no big deal I'm understanding of that, once more employees showed up it was better but our new waitress admitted to forgetting we were here and nonchalantly apologized and to top it off there was what looked like a piece of insect cooked in my daughters grilled cheese I attached a picture. I asked the waitress and she again nonchalantly says, "hmm I don't know what that is... an olive pit maybe? I'll take a look in the back." I don't know many olive pits that have legs sticking out. In the end she took my meal off the bill because it was the most expensive I guess but never said what that was. I gave two stars because I have had good experiences in the past but this last visit was just too bad for me to return. read more

This review is based on the customer service and not the ice cream. The ice cream is always good and I mean ALWAYS. I took my family and my elderly mother to ICC. We walked into the place at 2:59 PM. Inside was a family of three and a older couple. The family of three already had their order taken. As for the other couple, I don't know. As we sat there at the table, another family of about four walked in and sat down. I saw one of the employee's setting up an area for a party of 12. We sat there and we sat there to the point my Elderly mother shouted out is "is anyone going to help us." This obviously went in deaf ears because no one came to take our orders. This was now 3:17 PM. We still waited and finally at 3:26 PM, someone finally came to take our order. After our order was taken, this gentleman went to the family of four and took their order. While we sat there waiting patiently, ice cream began to come out. Oh wait that ice cream was not for us. This ice cream was for the family of four who came in well after us and then had their order taken after us. Can you see my frustration? It is truly sad. This place has so much potential. The ice cream is always good but the customer service sucks. I can see why this place is not busy when it should be busy. This is really the only ice cream parlor around that I know of. I hope the owner reads this review. Things need to change. read more

We love comining here with our kids. Great service, affordable and amazing ice cream. Always generous with topping and portions! A Modesto gem. read more

The service is always pleasant, and they do get busy. Since the servers are kids, I allow for some confusion on who got there first and got served second because they do an excellent job making the desserts and food, and the smile and treat guests like welcome friends. The servings are quite generous and fancy, and they have never botched my order. I usually get vanilla or chocolate shakes which are always fresh. I think all ice cream shops sell more of those flavors. The shakes are huge and usually very thick. It's so good I want to go there twice in a day but try to limit myself and resist going daily. If I'm really hungry I get the home made soup or fresh made sandwiches. The meat is always high quality, and everything on the sandwiches is fresh tasting and looks picture perfect. Because the service is pleasant and above average in every way and the food is top notch, I recommend going there. My only complaint is that I wasn't told they had a frequent diners club that gives you a five dollar reward after a certain number of purchases. So be sure and ask for this when you dine. You can add each visit using your phone number. Also it can get loud in there if there's a party of kids . I've had to get my food to go because children were allowed to scream and romp about. But I think that can happen at any ice cream shop. The parking is visible from the dining room. So you can keep an eye on your vehicle. It can get chilly inside, so bring your jacket in if you tend to feel cold easily. Dress casual, and enjoy! My favorite sandwich is the pastrami Rueben with mozzarella grilled on rye. I'd never had such lean scrumptious pastrami. See you there..Marcia read more

I have been going here for over 30 years and I will never go again. They took off more than half of their food items off their menu, including one of a kind items. Their food now is absolutely horrible. The double bacon burger smelled rancid and tasted like it had been reheated in the microwave. They do not even have fountain drinks anymore. They charge you $2 for a canned soda and the water they serve you is tap water. Their ice cream doesn't even look or taste like it's homemade anymore. Really sad to see this place go straight downhill. They went down over the last 2 years. I will never go back there again. read more

I always love coming here for ice cream! They also have good milk shakes. I've gotten food here once and I was pretty disappointed but the ice cream is on point! The employees are always so friendly too! read more

Horrible customer service! They don't have fries with their burgers. Their receipt machine was down. When I asked to talk the the manager or owner I was told they were in Mexico. I have been sick since I ate here today. Very dirty place. Do not come here!!! read more

Gold stars to them for supporting disabled and challenged adults. Ice was excellent. As good as Salt and Straw and many of the other high end places in the SF Bay area. Staff was enthusiastic and pleasant. Clean, well-lighted place. read more

Historically speaking, I've had awful, slow service here. It's a place I only come to if I've got a real hankering for good ice cream after my dinner. It's what prevents me from giving this place 5 stars, until I get good service every time, that won't change. Tonight, however, I was pleasantly surprised at how attentive and wonderful our server, Patrick (I think that was his name) was! Quick service with a friendly face. He was very sweet and my dinner & dessert experience was delightful! I was shocked at how quickly we got our food. I've waited up to 40 minutes on a grilled cheese here before, and today it was under 10. I wanted to express my delight and gratitude for such wonderful service. read more

Absolutely loved this place! Found it on yelp after a mini gold trip and was a little skeptical due to the reviews. However, the people who were working greeted us with a warm welcome and the server was just as great! The desserts we had, topped it all off. Super delicious and not too expensive. Definitely going back! read more

Great ice cream, great atmosphere, and great customer service makes this one of my favorite ice cream shops in the area!

The worst costumer service ever . Went in sat down . The girl and guy behind the ice cream ignored us we were 4 of us . Gave us water kept passing by eve when we made the contact to come to us so we can order . Could say they seemed a bit racist if anything . We just left after waiting 20 min of wanting to order Ice cream. What a waste of time . Went to rite aide my nephew was happy as ever . You guys can't greet and have any any kind of good costumer service . Don't go I and go If you wanna be ignored for a long time . Incompetent people . read more

I have never written a review on The Ice Cream Company and now the place is closing it's doors as of Sunday 4/17/11. I have enjoyed their ice cream for a long time and I will miss it and the people who work there. Goodbye, Modesto Ice Cream Company. :( :( :( :( read more

I think the service is just getting worse every time I go. If it wasn't for the great ice cream, I would not have ever come back. Tonight might have changed it though. It really bothers me, when groups that come in after me - are able to get menus and drinks before me. I didn't care too much to be ignored for another 10 minutes or so - before finally receiving a menu and taking our drink order. Maybe what bothered me the most, was the waitress rolled her eyes after taking our order. I think I need to find another little place to take my four year old daughter on date night. This place just leaves you frustrated, when you should be happy. read more

I had the club sandwich. It was excellent. The place is spotless. Plus it is wonderful to help those in need.

The ice-cream is delicious and made in-house, and the service is friendly and helpful! I've recently had both the butter brickle and the peanut butter cup ice-cream--both excellent on their own and even better with the marshmallow topping. I also usually order the grilled cheese, which comes with a pickle and chips. I'll be back soon! read more

We have enjoyed going to the ice cream company for years. We were sad to see it close. Since the reopening, the prices are higher and the portions are pathetically small. So sorry to say we won't be back, unless they give you a better value for your dollar. read more

I have so many fond memories from my childhood of birthday parties and after-soccer-game celebrations at the ICC. Every occasion was unique and yet they all had one thing in common, the La Palooza: mounds and mounds of ice cream piled high to the ceiling, topped with fountains of hot fudge and caramel sauce, garnished with gallons of whip cream and bowls of almonds. This monstrosity was a force to be reckoned with. It provoked shrieks of delight from children but shivers of fear from parents and servers alike, as thoughts of sugar rushes and clean ups awaited them. I haven't had one in years and it makes me want to relive it, that is if I could avoid the raging gut ache my once tolerant tum could handle. My mom and I will still come here while I'm home to grab a quick lunch or dinner. I only order ice cream about half the time but either way, I'm always left comforted and nostalgic. read more

I'm not sure where to begin. After a long night buying a new house my little family wanted to eat here-have a sandwich and celebrate with ice cream. I ordered a wrap-I'm pretty sure it was in the fridge for a good 8 hours, very soggy, not fresh. I believe it was around $8 I got half a wrap, half a pickle, and a very small sample of ice cream. Not my idea of spending 8 bucks! Service was slow. My husband ordered a sandwich he said the same thing-soggy and not fresh. Once we ordering ice cream we asked for the bill it took some time to get it. I've been here several times and not the best service read more

You better be ready to eat some ice cream! Before going onto how great and creative their ice cream selection is, I'd like to put in a word about how I've always enjoyed their lunch menu. Okay, now for the ice cream. When reading the menu, you might notice the price of certain deserts. It may seem much for this type of establishment (not much considering other types of eateries), but that is because of the generous quantity they give. I eaten here a lot and can easily say that I've always enjoyed desert. I went with 4/5 stars because they have a unique way they run your check. They have a wait staff that helps in every other way, but when it is time to pay your check, the wait staff is gone. Sometimes we'll forget this and sit with the check and our money on our table. Eventually, we realize that we have to go to the cashier ourselves. Not a big deal, but also not of the professional caliber. read more

I have dined here since I was a kid and always loved the home made ice cream and delicious food. The portions used to be huge. This was before the place was sold and then reopened under new ownership. Fast forward to the new establishment and you will find much higher prices, crappy service, and ice cream portions so small I have to wonder if it is a joke. I even asked my waitress if what she served me was four scoops and she said yes. In the old days two scoops made these four scoops look pathetic. The ice cream tasted the same, there just wasn't much of it. I dined here a few more times to see if it was a fluke and each time the portions were small and service was really bad. I haven't returned since. read more

I always believe in giving local business a 2nd chance if they weren't up to par. And the Ice Cream Company definitely stepped it up since my last visit. Given the fact that I went on the grand opening weekend and I got crappy service and the food was sub par, I'm proud to say this time around they've worked out all the kinks. When I came back the customer service was on point and let me tell you about the ice cream BOMB.com. I ordered a junior size choc choc chip waffle with a scoop of ice cream! OMG OMG! just go and try it for yourself and be amazed!!! You earned my business back! ;) read more

Today being a fun, special occasion (St. Patty's Day) my husband and I decided to try Ice Cream Co. for lunch. I suppose it should have been obvious the place itself is called, Ice Cream Co. and not Sandwich Co. or Wrap Co. which they tout as lunch time favorites. I was looking over the menu and had decided on a Sandwich, I then preceded to notice how none of the high priced full meals came with any sides, you had to add a side. When we asked if we could order fries as our side with our full sandwich meals the wait staff, informed us they "were trying to be healthy and no longer served fries." lol. Ice Cream Co. does not bring to mind health when we think of it. We think indulgence, full cream, full condiments, french fries, fun, special occasion food. Too bad, we were looking forward to a lunch time treat of Sandwiches/ Wraps and fries. Ehhh ... and to our disappointment ....we sat their pondering if we wanted to eat at Ice Cream Co. and be satisfied with a pickle spear and a bit of Ice Cream and no fries ....the answer ultimately was no. Fruit or Sun Chips just wouldn't substitute. I will not be back for food / lunch, but I would consider coming back for ice cream one day. read more
