Such a cute little ice cream spot in the Niles neighborhood! I'm honestly not a huge sweets person, so it took me forever to finally try this place -- but I'm glad I did. I got the mint chip and it was delicious, and I also grabbed some fresh oatmeal cookies to have with my coffee the next morning. So yummy. The staff was super friendly and helpful too, especially with how many flavors there were to choose from. There are honestly tons of flavors I want to go back and try now. Definitely the kind of spot I'll come back to whenever I'm craving something sweet without wanting anything too over-the-top. read more

Been visiting this ice cream shop for many years. Let's be clear, it's a little local owned business serving ice cream and a small selection of baked goods. Are the scoops a little overpriced? Duh. But I would be sad if they were gone so I'll pay up! I love to bring my kids here to get a little scoop of ice cream and then go play by the train depot and run off some of the sugar. It's on the regular rotation as a reward for a good week at school/good behavior. They always have delicious flavors and the people working behind the counter have always been patient while dealing with the little customers. As an adult, the ice cream is actually pretty good quality. I'm very partial to the marbled black raspberry. It's a vanilla ice cream base with a thick ribbon of a black raspberry...jam maybe? Either way, it's so good. The vanilla is actually really good. I've tried a few other flavors and enjoyed all of them. So if you're ever in or around Nile's and a beautiful day, definitely worth the stop to come get a scoop and feel a little Americana nostalgia! read more

Very cute and delicious little ice cream shop! The setting is cute because it's in the historic part of town and it has nice outdoor seating. The decorations inside are nice but I didn't like the smell of the place, could be whatever cleaning supplies they use. I got a customized banana split and it was well made and all the flavors were great! read more

Today is Sunday and I decided to have ice cream at Niles down in Fremont. When I walked in, it was small and the seating area is kind of mediocre. I think that's why people prefer not to dine indoors based on what I saw. Ice cream comes in many flavors. When I wanted vanilla ice cream, I don't see it from the display section. So I had to ask and it seemed that some of the ice cream that are available are at the other end of the counter when she scooped it. Vanilla is a very popular ice cream and I think that it's better to be displayed and ones that are underrated should be at the other side. The ice cream is very good though! It's slightly expensive though. They also sell other desserts like cookies and cupcakes, but all I'm here is the ice cream. I'll be trying other flavors when I return especially Ube haha read more

Local business, owned and operated by a local gal - not another one of these tech worker gentrifiers who sadly have taken over Niles. (Like seriously, could all you Tech workers and H1B Visa techies PLEASE LEAVE NILES? Lol). I digress. It's a local, small business owned & ran by the nicest lady. She always has a good crew of local young kids working in the evenings. Classic American small town ice cream shop, what's not to love? Reminds me of when I was a little kid in the 80's when Niles was a working class, blue-collar neighborhood. Very much reminds me of better days. Excellent quality ice cream, always have damn near a couple dozen flavors. They've got some EPIC splits & usually have a "special" split or float. They do a great deal of charity too, for example each year they'll contribute a generous amount of what you purchase to the Niles Elementary school for the little kids. Lovely little business with just the best ice cream you can find. Very nice seating area both indoors and outdoors. Not much better than bringing the kids here, around sun down on a summer or spring evening & having ice cream on the outdoor tables... Reminds me of when Niles was still Niles & it wasn't loaded with insufferable, pretentious Tesla driving techies. LOL read more

Best ice cream! Outstanding taste and texture. Hot day treats and fun for kids in the downtown Niles

Been coming here for years, it's small inside and could get really crowded but they have a few tables inside and some outside as well. Most people usually take it to go and walk around the nice little town. Not the friendliest staff but the ice cream is good and they have the best cookies! So buttery and the texture nice and soft, seriously these are the best cookies! The peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. Overall this is a good local ice cream parlor read more

Took a long time for this review. I have been going here for a couple years now, at least once a month when I want to walk around Niles and catch Pokémons lol Staff are friendly, they offer free samples, and they have plenty of flavors with some seasonal flavors available. The shop is small with only a couple of tables in the store but we are usually enjoying our ice-cream while walking. The ice-cream is Loards ice-cream which is one of the best imo. I usually rotate on the flavors I get. Their scoops are generous so I can usually only order 1 scoop on a sugar cone. Definitely try it out if you are in the area! read more

My husband and I visited this little hole in the wall because we wanted some genuine ice cream. They did not disappoint. He ordered a shake and I ordered a kid scoop. We also bought a s'mores brownie and they're already made cookies. The cookies were some of the best I've ever had. The place was really friendly and helpful as this was our first time. They had a couple seats that we were able to sit and enjoy our ice cream, which was really special. You can tell they take a lot of pride in their ice creams and it shows in the taste. read more

This place is so special and the owner is AMAZING! She always supports our fundraisers and creates this dollar kids scoop so that little kids don't have to be bombarded with all that sugar. So happy this place offers this! We always get a regular ice cream, shake, or their tubs of ice cream to support the shop too! Their cupcakes and ice cream are also delicious!! read more

Came here on a warm night. Totally forgot they serve Loards ice cream, which for those who know, it's some of the best manufactured ice cream around. Service was friendly and fast. Wife got hot fudge Sundae and I got Black and tan. Good portions ....$19 for both which isn't bad these days. We will be back soon read more

Came here after dinner with my grandparents and mom, the location is in a cute little strip with lots of antiques and other restaurants. When we came in, the place was small and quaint, and we were greeted by someone, he was very friendly the whole time. My grandpa had the andes mint chocolate ice cream turned into a milkshake, he mentioned it was good although the andes mint pieces did get stuck in the straw (but what do you expect, it was still good otherwise) and my mom and I each had a locomotive sundae, it wasn't big but it was still a good size, and it was so decadent you didn't need anymore than what was given. I would get that again for sure. read more

Ordered Toasted Almond and black raspberry ice cream. Both flavors tasted amazing. Roasted almond is less sweet. Also This place is located in the pretty old vibe like Niles town. The place is super crowded. The staff is very friendly and have good customer service. They have wide range of ice cream flavors. read more

You got a sweet tooth, or not, this is the place. Get your screaming done before you take your first lick because you'd be in bliss and will forget to scream for icescream. Every flavor is a hit, every dollar is worth spending, and every moment enjoying the goodness they sell is a story to write and tell. I've been here enough times with the wifey and every visit is a new experience. The service is quick, the tasting is epic, and before you know it you have a piece of heaven in your hands. Grab whatever satiates you and sit outside and enjoy the weather, the crowd, and the peace that comes knowing that single scoop of rocky road you got is worth a pint of whatever you get elsewhere. And grab a couple of half pints on the way out - one for you, and one for that dentist who keeps tell me to floss everyday! read more

Very good old school ice-cream parlour serving the classics. We got the brownie sundae with black cherry & heath krunch bar flavours and also a single scoop of chocolate chip on a waffle cone! Amazing icecream for sure & the brownie sundae was an indulgent & perfect dessert for the night. They also have other desserts like cupcakes and tarts but we didn't get any this time. They also let you do 2 flavour samples/person before you settle in on what you want. read more

This is cozy little ice cream shop in a lovely little town. On a warm day like today, they had a line which moved quickly because they were well staffed. And the staff was friendly!

They proudly serve Lourd's Premium Ice Cream here. Nice little ice cream shop; eat and clean. Service was super friendly and polite. One customer's milkshake got knocked over by her baby. The workers quickly came over and cleaned it up and made a replacement shake for her. Great customer service! Old fashioned sundae: Two scoops of ice cream, hot fudge sauce, whipped cream, choice of nuts, and cherry. We got a scoop of banana and a mint chocolate chip. Those flavors don't go together. I got the banana as I like that ice cream flavor with no nuts. My wife got her mint chocolate chip. read more

Y'all let me tell you, are you a milkshake fan, more importantly a strawberry fan. cause if you're anything like me, you can't beat the shake from this place. Not only is the strawberry good but my other favorite flavor their if i'm craving just a cup of ice cream is the mango sorbet. but back to the topic, this is my go to spot for ice cream, and let me tell you why: When you get to the front of the line, you're greeted with a smile. I feel like every establishment should learn from this place because there was never a day where i walked in and felt ignored. They always make you feel seen and welcomed as a customer secondly, it's a small shop. It's not as big as other ice cream places but that's the beauty of it. they don't really have to market anything else to you but ice cream, yeah they have a few baked goods in the front but they know confidently that they are known for ice cream and they don't need to attract you with anything else but ice cream read more

If the line out of the door doesn't let you know that the ice cream is good, one bite will affirm those beliefs. The inside is a little tight especially on hot days, but they have plenty of outside tables and downtown Niles is scenic and great place to relax and enjoy your ice cream outside. read more

I did not expect Niles Ice Cream to be so good. I was in the area on a hot day so what better way to cool off than to get ice cream. They have a large variety of flavors and always give you a humongous scoop. - Caramel Cashew - I don't even like caramel that much but I was a big fan of this ice cream. There was huge chunks of cashews in every bite and the caramel wasn't so overwhelmingly sweet. - Peanut Butter Fudge - I love how each flavor is so distinct and this peanut butter one is no different. I love how pervasive the peanut butter was and you can definitely taste the fudge (chunky) parts. Absolutely loved my experience here and am already thinking about what flavor to get next time. By the way, the line may seem long from the outside but it moves very quickly. My only complaint was that I wanted to sit inside the store but there was way too many flies. read more

It's been warm and I was between two appointments so I stopped by here on Monday afternoon for a quick bite. The staff is friendly and answered our questions about the offerings and I ordered a brownie sundae . I asked for less whipped cream cuz that's how I like it. I was excited because it had been a while since I enjoyed a sundae but I was quite disappointed by this one. The brownie was dry and almost stale. It was not moist or fresh tasting. The chocolate sauce was on the sweeter side . Definitely a retro American vibe to the place and the ice cream options. I would have preferred the sauce to be more chocolatey and less sugary. That's my preference. The ice cream was good and creamy. I wish they didn't spoil it for me with that brownie. read more

Needed to satisfy my sweet tooth and was happy to see that they offered coconut pineapple flavored ice cream. It is my absolute favorite flavor. Everyone was nice, my friend asked for a sample of one of the sherbet flavors. There is a small sign that they limit samples to two per person. Everything was nice and clean and there is indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outdoors. 4 stars only because the ice cream did not taste like pineapple. It was more coconut cream and I was able to feel the small pieces of shredded coconut. I wish it was a true blend of both flavors. read more

i heard the small town of niles is famous for their ice cream, so when i saw a line out the door for this shop, i had to try! it's a quaint, simply decorated shop that offers a decent selection of ice cream flavors (and sells pints too)! the cost is average with bay area prices (about $4-5 for a small scoop in a cup). they have several unique flavors, and i sampled a few: the bubblegum is crazy. i'm honestly not a fan of bubblegum itself anyway, but i've got to applaud their formula for mimicking the taste so closely. but, one small sample bite left my mouth with the (very) strong bubblegum aftertaste. so beware. i ended up getting a small cookies and cream in a cup, which is my go to. i usually judge an ice cream place by how they've mastered their classics (in my opinion, to be a credible dessert place, this is non-negotiable! you've got to nail down the classics). and i was pleasantly surprised. there was a decent oreo to vanilla ice cream ratio (with a decent ratio favoring oreo chunks, woohoo!), and the scoop left me feeling satisfied. cookies and cream craving satisfied! i will say the flavors are on the sweeter end. be sure to stop and sample their unique flavors, and get a taste of nile's special ice cream!! read more

Reprimanded by staff for not telling them we were getting two milkshakes. "Next time let us know if you're getting two, they take a long time to make" with an eye roll and snarky tone. How about next time, ask the fully party what they want before you turn around and start? And if you have trouble making milkshakes in a timely manner, wouldn't it be a good idea to check if both people in the party will be getting them? It's our first time here and we were made to feel guilty for something out of control. Bad service!!!! read more

Amazing flavor options and friendly staff. Clean tables and really good quality ice cream. They have take away options too!

Bad attitude towards the customers! Rude people are working there. I was waiting in line together with my 90 y.o. mother for about 15 minutes when a woman, who is working there told us to step outside without any explanation. We didn't have a chance to try the ice cream. But after such treatment I don't think I am ever coming back. read more

The behavior of the owner of this establishment (or at least someone claiming to be the owner) was incredibly disappointing and unprofessional, and it's the reason I'm writing this review. Such a shame - I've been to this location many times with my family, I will never do that again. Earlier today, while dining at a neighboring restaurant in Niles Canyon (same block), I witnessed who claims to be the owner acting in a way that lacked integrity and basic kindness. This lady was accompanied by a young boy with special needs and had just finished her meal when she asked the server if their bathroom was working. Unfortunately, the bathroom was temporarily unavailable ( I believe someone mentioned it was due to being locked from the inside--a minor issue likely to be resolved soon.) The server politely apologized and suggested the restroom at the creamery on the corner, not realizing that this woman owned it. Instead of appreciating the helpful suggestion, she scolded the server, saying, "You should not refer anyone to my creamery. This is my business, and don't ever do that again." The server was visibly embarrassed, immediately apologized, and promised not to do it again. Here's why this interaction left such a bad impression: 1. Good neighbors support each other. It's baffling that a dessert shop owner would discourage a neighboring restaurant employee from referring customers to her business... especially after a meal! Communities thrive when businesses work together, and this kind of hostility is not only unnecessary but counterproductive. 2. The server was trying to help. The server had no way of knowing if the restroom was needed for the woman or the child with her, but she tried to do the right thing by offering a solution. Doing the right thing - , I refrained from complaining about this lady's child's loud outbursts during my lunch because kindness and understanding should be practiced and goes a long way. She clearly missed this life lesson. 3. Her actions felt calculated and distasteful. If she really needed a restroom, why not use the one at her own business? Instead, she set up the server for failure with a confrontation that felt entirely unnecessary. This behavior reflects poorly on her as a business owner and as a neighbor. My hope is that this review encourages her to reflect on her actions and make amends. The right thing to do would be to apologize to the server who was only trying to help. Kindness and collaboration should be at the heart of any community, and this experience left me questioning her commitment to either. read more

Ice cream scoops were half the size they used to be in the sundaes Fir 9.50 it should be full scoops.
