With a line out the door, this is an obvious stop for ice cream in Spearfish. My husband and I shared a Root Beer Float with Birthday Cake Ice Cream and the specialty sundae with Blueberry Goat Cheese Ice Cream and olive oil/granola. My husband was skeptical of the olive oil and it was so good! I also loved the birthday cake combo with the root beer float. This is the best ice cream I've had for a while. read more

Cute ice cream shop in Spearfish. Great quality and great tasting ice cream! The sundae was delicious (we got the vanilla flavor), as well as the chocolate flavor we tried. There was a lot of patio seating and indoor tables as well! Service was nice and friendly. read more

Stopped by Leones after a hike and it hit the spot. The line moved quickly and the staff was kind and helpful. I got the seasonal red white and blueberry along with PB chocolate cup. Both were so perfect. Great flavor and great consistency. Has outdoor seating and you can even go into the art gallery next door. Very charming and definitely deserves the foot traffic they get! read more

Absolutely delicious! They had interesting flavors and the service was exceptional. You could try any flavor and even though it's busy and popular, the employees were fantastic to work with. There is a lovely outdoor seating area with tables, a pond and benches. I totally recommend a stop if you're in Spearfish. read more

Leones' Creamery - Outside there is a courtyard for the kids to play and people to sit and eat their ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Spearfish, South Dakota

Chocolate-Dipped Gluten-Free WAFFLE Cone!!!!! That right there deserves 10 stars out of 5. And while it could've tasted like cardboard, it didn't. They actually took the time to develop a recipe that works, tastes great, and knocks almost any other waffle cone over on the way to this one. I say "almost" because my mom used to run a gluten-free bakery with an ice cream parlor and she makes the best GF waffle cones hands-down. I mean, I have to say that, right? (Hi, mom! ) All kidding aside, waffle cones are just something I'd given up on ever being able to eat in a public place. And chocolate-dipped? Holy wow. Definitely spring for the chocolate-dipped! And the ice cream was creamy, delicious and you could tell it was homemade. Couple that with the delicious smell wafting from the kitchen (the making of afore-mentioned waffle cone decadence) and you've got the makings of the perfect ice cream stop! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about ice cream ingredients and the place was adorably decorated too. I think they should have a guessing contest for how much money is embedded in all the counter & tabletops... just for fun. read more

The staff is wonderful and the ice cream is amazing! So many original flavors. I love this place.

One of the best ice creams I have tasted. They have awesome customer service. They have over 100+ flavors and they rotate the flavors weekly. The Mayan Hot Chocolate was very tasty and spicy. We had the London Fog, Nut Cracker and PB Chocolate. They have an outdoor entrance next to the big building. The restrooms are upstairs. There is plenty of seating next to where you order and outside. Enjoy read more

London fog ice cream was amazing Hopefully we have more tea flavors here. like earl gray, matcha, Thai tea.... read more

Great staff and yummy!!! A wide variety of flavors..certainly one to delight every tastebud!!

This place is fantastic! Choose your visit wisely, the line is likely to be out to the street! (That is how GOOD this place is!) As soon as you step inside you know you have come to the right place...the smell of homemade waffle cones hits you and the welcoming staff make you feel like you belong (even if you are not from the area!) A fun thing about Leones' is that they have rotating flavors, the day I got to visit they had Lemon Poppyseed so I tried that with a Waffle cone, since they are made there, plus the smell of them being made is super heavenly! I haven't stopped thinking about that double dip since! If I didn't live 4 states away I would probably be there every day! An extra unique thing about Leones' is that they let you "Scoop it Forward." Meaning you can buy someone, anyone, a scoop for their next Visit! How fun is that! If you are in the area definitely make this a priority stop, I know I will next time I am around! read more

AMAZING!! We weren't able to go into the shop (due to covid) but they used a window as their ordering place. While visiting we got their ice cream twice. We tried their vanilla (ordered twice), blackberry lemon, and salted Carmel. Each flavor we tried we absolutely loved! They had some chairs and tables outside but they also had a "green" that was different levels that you could sit in and hang out on while you enjoyed your ice cream. One of the nights we got our ice cream there was someone who was playing their guitar which was a fun touch. Overall it was such a great experience! read more

Great customer service, ice was excellent and great atmosphere. Had the London fog and the orange with chocolate bits read more

Leones' Creamery - London fog sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Spearfish, South Dakota

Delicious ice cream! We were staying in town on our South Dakota family vacation and this spot looked so cute from the outside. The ice cream flavors were few but so creative, unique and yummy. They were also giving samples which helped our decisions!! Between our family we ended up getting peanut butter chocolate, iced sugar cookie (vanilla ice cream flavored with almond and bits of sugar cookie and icing mixed in) and the raspberry lemon ice cream which was a true ice cream--not a sorbet. The blackberry lemon was a surprising win-- I got it for my hubby but I ended up liking it as much as my own!! It had a bright flavor and perfectly balanced between the blackberry and lemon. I also loved the iced sugar cookie flavor I ordered. Not too sweet but full of the subtle cookie flavor. Waffle cone was crispy and thin. PB choc was yummy according to my son. They have traditional vanilla for those who like the classics and plenty of sundae toppings, etc. But go for the unique flavors (like Mayan hot chocolate which I would have gotten the second time through!). Highly recommend this spot. Outdoor seating is plentiful and there is an adorable mural outside to look at while you eat on the patio! read more

Leones' Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Spearfish, South Dakota

Just a local favorite. We come here way too often but it's all so good and unique and all comes at a great price. The homemade granola and cones are so good. We love how the flavors rotate pretty often but I love how the cones and granola also tend to change with the season! Service is super friendly, they allow you to taste, and they have a cute little seating area inside & outside! read more

Super cute with yummy ice cream. Nice employee. Give it a try!! We got frosted sugar cookie ice cream!!

So, so good. Got here late on a Friday night in July during a street festival and they still had a window open to foot traffic at 9:30. Short list of homemade flavors but creative and , what we tried, delicious. I love almond anything. I tried the Nutcracker ice cream which wasn't what you might think (Christmas flavors?) but it was all kinds of chopped nuts in an almond (as opposed to vanilla) ice cream. So incredibly good!! I've never had anything like it! Friend got orange chocolate speckled I e cream which was, again, totally unique. I expected a chocolate ice cream with orange bits, but the ice cream was actually orange flavored (?) with chocolate specks. Really good! Loved it. Wish we could come more often. read more

Best ice cream I have ever had! The flavors are always changing and unique. I can never choose just one flavor!

Butterbeer ice cream -magnificent. Home made pumpkin wafflecone. Incredible. Oneof he very best ice cream experiences we've ever had. This includes Italy. Lol. read more

Holy cow, Leones. I've been meaning to try your ice cream for quite some time but I'm glad I ended up waiting until Thanksgiving when I got the seasonal sweet potato and maple sage flavors. Holy cow, again. From now on, if ice cream isn't maple sage, I don't want it. If you like green tea or matcha (which is my all time fav since I was a kid) this is green tea 10x. Super lovely staff who humored my over-the-top excitement about GLUTEN-FREE WAFFLE CONES. What. When was the last time I had a cone?! Five years at least. The chocolate has a strong chocolate flavor, not too sweet at all. What an absolutely lovely time. This was one of those, in ten years I'll turn to my husband and say, "Remember that November in Spearfish? With the maple sage ice cream?" kind of nights that lives on long after. read more

If you're in Spearfish you really don't want to miss out on this little gem. This ice cream shop is tucked back off Main Street a little ways in this adorable little nook. Their ice cream is handmade and seriously so good. They have flavors that change weekly and their waffle cones (also handmade) are gluten free! I also noticed other things on the menu such as ice cream sandwiches. Their staff inside the shop (behind making the ice cream and the woman who took our order) were someone the friendliest I've interacted with. I'll definitely be back to try out some of their other flavors! I highly recommend this place (and that is not a recommendation I give lightly!) read more

Amazing ice cream. Super fast and easy service and great vibe! I love the choices of flavors and the taste tester.

Absolutely wonderful and unique. Coffee and ice cream. Cozy place to grab a treat for adult or children

Literally the best iced cream I have ever had in my life (and I've had a lot of ice cream) the girls working where so kind and had wonderful customer service skills. We both ordered the Shady vanilla and it was to die for. They where closed on Tuesday so we couldn't stop in, but we made it a point to travel back through Spearfish on Wednesday on our way to Wyoming from Mt Rushmore LOL. Such a cool atmosphere! read more

Such a cute local ice cream shop. Came on a warm summer Saturday night and there was a line out the door the whole time! Concise menu, but unique flavor choices including tarragon+olive oil and chocolate kit-kat. Most popular flavors according to the scooper are espresso and strawberries+cream. Beautiful outdoor seating area with lawn for kids to play on. All waffle cones are made gluten free and they're so crisp and crunchy! This is a must-stop if you're in the area. read more

All good: cleanliness, cost, employees, taste. Housed in a cute old building, shares space with a salon, art gallery, Pilates studio, and offices. Kid size cup was fulfilling. One of the creamiest, smoothest ice creams I've ever had, light and delicious. Flavor or sweetness wasn't overwhelming. I had the salted caramel cinnamon which tasted just right! read more

Cool little place! It's a little hidden and only found it by chance. I would have spent longer and may have gotten more ice cream but their WiFi isn't public. Their longon dog float was great and the staff was friendly. It's made in small batches beyond the counter. A must visit if you're in Spearfish. read more

Someone at Killian's recommended this place and when I heard the name (Leone is also my grandmother's name) we knew we had to visit before we left town. The crisp sweetness of waffle cones will draw you in and the real ingredients will make it worth your time to stop. Good variety of flavors without feeling overwhelming. You can really tell this ice cream is hand-crafted with love. read more

Stopped in while traveling through Spearfish. This place is so cute and the staff are so friendly. Ice cream made on site and the flavors are very unique--I sampled the blueberry goat cheese and the earl grey. Both were delicious! The waffle cones are gluten free, which is a huge plus for my gluten intolerant partner. He was so excited to get a waffle cone! Loved the ice cream and the atmosphere. read more
