Just crazy good. Like roadside ice cream places used to be. Worth a stop for sure. Even when busy, the line moves pretty fast. The staff are super friendly. The ambiance harkens back to the good ole days when things were simpler. And better. read more

This is definitely not the old ice cream truck I grew up with, I recently attended an event that booked Pav's Food Truck (yes ice cream is food) and it was amazing. I chose a cup with a large scoop of chocolate covered with a large scoop of vanilla then found a nice shady spot to enjoy with friends. I had no prior experience with Pav's Creamery before walking up to the window of the self contained ice cream factory on wheels and was greeted by the two friendly members of the team, they were very outgoing and ready to build anything I want that was available. Their ice cream is so delicious, creamy and smooth the perfect texture and refreshing on a warm summer day - hopefully this wonderful first experience won't be the last time I'm able to enjoy this wonder treat - I'm looking forward to visiting their fixed location during my next trip through the area... read more

I got the Biscoff ice cream it was pretty cool, I do wish it had more Biscoff mixed in the ice cream. The service was great, they allow samples and they take credit card. It's a typical outdoor ice cream place and it's close to water. read more

Pav's Creamery - Biscoff ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Great service. Delicious creamy ice-cream and generous scoops. Good selection of flavors to choose from.

I got married on 8/9/25 and the ice cream truck was our dessert. The two that worked it were so sweet and amazing! They remember me saying I wanted a milkshake after sunset photos. They had it ready for me when I got back. They truly deserve a raise and told how much they made my day even more magical. Especially with their kindness towards all of my guest on such a hot day! Thank you again! 100% recommend it for your wedding! read more

I tried a Butter Beer shake, soo good!! Hubby had Banana Cream Pie icecream which he loved as well. There's many more flavors I wanted to try. read more

They charge a fee for using a credit card then do the "shame you into tipping" with a minimum of 18% with the sleepy credit card screen being pushed in your face. Small business looking to squeeze every nickel out of their patrons. read more

way overpriced. ordered a baby size serving, was charged for single cone and the serving was small. Kahlua flavoring was very light if not even there. I'd skip this place. If your near wadsworth, try bidinger's. Flavors are there and a baby cone with cup is only $1.50 read more

Stopped during quarantine and their setup was great for customers. I ordered the white peach sorbet (only sorbets are dairyfree on the menu). Flavor was great and texture was nice and creamy! read more

Always my go to for custard, coffee shakes and double dark raspberry. The staff is also very friendly. I try to go once a week.

I have no idea why this ice cream has a good reputation. It is full of cheap and unnecessary ingredients. Corn syrups and food colorings as well as others make the ice cream taste cheap, not flavorful, have a poor texture, and leave me wishing I hadn't bought Pav's. Just use better ingredients and make better ice cream! read more

I drive all the way from Wadsworth for pavs. Best ice cream! I like the brownie sundae or the Cookie Monster hard serve the most! Opie likes vanilla cones read more

My love language is ice cream, and this place puts me in ice cream heaven. The ice cream is always creamy. The prices make my wallet happy. The line always runs pretty fast. Pav's is the Swenson's of Ice Cream in the Akron area -- its a MUST GO! read more

I was raised on the ice cream here. However- since they started expanding the quality has gone down the drain. The last two years it tastes like pure sugar and the pineapple upside sundae I started ordering.... Is a joke. The cake is the size of two my finger and flat. This use to be the size of my palm and three times as tall. The girl at the window said they now cut into two layers and then portion it out from there. $6.50. And lets not forget the tip. This is insane. Therapy dog on Canton Rd or Mary Coyles in Akron or even Scoops is better anymore. So sad. read more

Pav's Creamery - This is the size piece of cake. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Akron, Ohio

I have been going here since I was 5 and walked to Pavs !! Back then cone was only 5 cents with sprinkles I think was a penny more .

This is the best ice cream anywhere! Worth the drive to Portage Lakes! Their other locations also have adult beverages.

Was completely disappointed. Website show's banana as a seasonal flavor. Then when I ordered it I was told (rudely) that it was only a weekly flavor. Ordered the blueberry cheesecake instead. The cheesecake bites where good but not much blueberry flavor. read more

Pav's Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Texture is key! Creamy, thick and delicious! All the flavors of summer in one place! Baby cones are the size of regular cones but you ca never get enough! Highly addictive, even if your not an "ice cream" person Im sure you will appreciate the technique and efficiency of Pavs they do it right! Oh and flavors come and go so dont miss out!! read more

Pav's Creamery - Cotton candy baby cone! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Akron, Ohio

CASH ONLY!!! Be warned! They do not take credit/debit cards. I also disliked the fact that the ice cream flavors are on a board right next to the window where you order and wait for your ice cream. People stand in front of it the whole time so you can't read it until it's your turn. Then you feel the pressure to hurry up and order. Now, onto the good stuff. VERY tasty, creamy "kustard" as they call it. They also have a huge board listing other items they sell like blizzards, sundaes, splits, etc. I recommend the hot fudge brownie sundae. I also noticed that they have an alcohol infused flavor that changes weekly (I think it's weekly). I wish I would have been able to try it. Hubby and I got the brownie sundae to split because we only had $5 in cash with us, not realizing they didn't take credit. We will be back. With more cash next time! read more

My grandparents live just a few minutes away, so trips up to visit them in the summer always involved a visit to Pav's for custard. (Yeah, they have some ice cream, and it's not bad, but you NEED to have the frozen custard. Trust me.) Stopping in recently with my wife during a trip to see family, it was wonderful to realize that the nostalgia wasn't blinding me - it really is still some of the best custard I've ever had. Even better, they've gotten more and more creative, offering variations like the baklava sundae (exactly what you think), frozen cakes, mixers, and a new creation: The chocolate dipped custard donut. They take a glazed yeast donut, split it like a bagel, fill it with your choice of custard, and then dip the bottom half into quick setting chocolate. It is exactly as good as that sounds, and just as bad for you as you'd expect. But hey, it's summer - why not? read more

This was my first time to Pav's Creamery, and I was pleasantly delighted with the ice cream there. I'm not the biggest fan of ice cream/sweets, but their pumpkin pecan custard was delicious! We also tried the pecan praline ice cream. The ice cream was indeed creamy and not as sweet as the store bought stuff you get at the market. It's a great place to take little kids, and is right by the Portage Lakes area! You should definitely stop by here, pick up some ice cream, and head to the lakes! read more

The ice cream served here is simply delicious! I especially enjoy their nutella gelato! The Superman flavor is kinda strange and tastes like bubble gum. Their frozen yogurt is far too tasty to be fat free!!!! They have a wide selection of flavors and items and the prices are very reasonable! Great portions too! I usually just stick with small. Ultimately, I'm glad I found this place! read more

I got the Mudd flavored ice cream. It is very creamy and the ice cream is very good. I'd go back again. read more

They have lots of fun flavors and a variety of toppings. They are a little pricey but I would say it's worth it because you get a lot of ice cream for their sizes. read more

This is a good combination. their ice cream is as good as always but it will be better if they can use regular soft donute. read more

Pav's Creamery - Donute ice cream. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Fantastic custard (I haven't had the ice cream, but I bet it's delicious as well!!) The place is always packed, but the line moves quickly. In addition, the prices are extremely reasonable and the portions are generous. If you are in the Portage Lakes/Coventry area, you definitely have to stop!! read more

Pav's is a staple of the Portage Lakes area. I have been coming here since i was itty bitty, and when I had my first cone in 4 years after moving back to the area, it tasted just as I remembered. Like home. Pav's has a wonderful variety of flavors and hands down the best waffle cones EVER! They have a nice variety of gluten free options and each week boasts TWO flavors of the week. If you're smart, you'll get your cone half and half with each flavor. My only complaint is that they only take cash which can be a bit of a hassle, but it's definitely worth the trip to tha ATM. If I remember correctly, Pav's sister creamery is down in Canal Fulton at Cherry Street Creamery and it's equally as wonderful. Pav's will always be my first pick over any other ice cream place in the area. read more

Com'on, this place is SO good, I feel guilty when I drive by and DON'T stop! Treat yourself, stop in.......

I just watched a little boy eating a soft serve cone. The ice cream was way too soft. A huge chunk of it fell onto the ground. Not only did they charge the mom for another one, she offered to clean the scoop off of the ground and they weren't going to stop her. Ridiculous. This is what happens when teens run a busy ice cream stand. Don't want to go back. read more

The ice cream and kustard are so good. I usually get a small chocolate kustard in a cup, and believe me, it's not as small as you'd think. It definitely fills me up. Pav's is a hopping place at all times (because it's just that good), so be warned that parking is limited and it's cash only. It's totally worth the trip if you're not from the area, or you just want a sweet treat. It's right on Manchester Road so it's not hard to find. read more

Used to live in the area and it was the best chocolate peanut butter custard I've ever had - - and even since!! My best friend from Connecticut is coming to visit... and hope to take her there next week when she flies in!! Sure whatever flavor it is she will love it - - as will We - - and we have never been ice cream or custard fans!! LOL definitely want to come back in the fall and get the pumpkin praline!! Yum!!$ BTW--give them is the location in North Canton open yet please... And what is the address?? If not we may try to find the one in the green... Or as we take her by where I used to live in the beautiful portage Lakes... Go to the original location?? TIA. XO read more

This place is a staple in the community. Their ice cream is unrivaled, especially by stricklands (yeah I heard you stranger in car that drove past while yelling that stricklands is better, but I'm just assuming you were dropped on your head at some point)... anywhoooo, #teampavs read more

Well, this was our ending to our day at Clays Water Park. It was recommended by our friend who lives in the area and it was a good recommendation. This place offers home made ice cream, frozen custard and frozen yogurt. The kids had drumsticks which they devoured. I had the large (3-scoops) of Black Cherry custard while my wife had the Chocolate Almond custard. Man, was this good. So creamy and flavorful...I could have had another 3 scoops. It was that good. I wish they weren't as far as way as they are but i can tell you when we are in the Akron area again, we will stop. They have many flavors to choose from in the custard and ice cream but I only saw three fro-yo flavors. The prices are great...It was just over $12 for the five of us. Cheaper than when we go to the Dairy Queen, I know that. Great ice cream and great prices-can't beat it. *Quick note for fellow Yelper Lolia (fro-yo girl)-The fro-yo flavors they had were vanilla, dark chocolate and banana cream. I did see some toppings such as sprinkles, granola, crushed cookies and candies. Although I didn't try any this time, I will on our next visit:) read more

Much like Belgrade's down the road, Pav's was a big part of my childhood. My family always came here for our sweet treats. Their custard is rich and sweet, and always hits the spot on a warm day. The custard flavors are not many - you're generally limited to chocolate, vanilla, and a few seasonal flavors (blackberry and peach are particularly good) - but they are delicious. I don't live in the neighborhood anymore, but I try to visit Pav's when I come back. read more

Hoooooooooooooley moley, this is good ice cream!! Actually, it's the best ice cream I've ever had. And as anyone who knows me very well will tell you, I have had a LOT of ice cream in my life! I've only had the hard ice cream so far, and just two of the flavors - mint chocolate chip and dark chocolate raspberry. They were so awesome, I've seen no need to try any other flavors. It's extremely creamy, tastes great..... I get my cone dipped in chocolate. It shouldn't be legal for ice cream to be this good. If you haven't been, you have to go. Your taste buds will never forgive you if you don't! read more

Best frozen custard...EVER. I shipped pretzel palooza and peach during the summer of 2013 to Virginia and we got requests for more flavors!

There are a lot of handmade ice cream shops in this area, but Pav's is probably the best. There are a lot of options including a flavor of the week that changes...well, weekly. Get a scoop, a sundae, a shake, etc. There's not much by way of food options in this area of the country, but, on the other hand, it's one of the few places you can find places like Pav's that make America great. read more

Pav's is a great summer treat with a variety of flavors. The employees are always friendly and fast. Try a new combination everytine you go! The custard is amazing and always worth the trip! read more

Nice little place for ice cream. Pretty similar to a Handels and has a lot of flavor choices. I am particularly a fan of Nuts over Coconut. Not great parking when it's busy. read more

The shushies/icees (can't remember what they're called) weren't as good as they could be, but the custard is terrific! CASH ONLY. Outdoor seating on picnic tables. No indoor seating. read more
