Strickland's Ice Cream - A Timeless Classic with Rotating Favorites…read more Strickland's Ice Cream is a local gem that delivers a nostalgic, creamy experience every time. Since 1936, Strickland's has stayed true to its roots, using the same type of old-fashioned batch freezers that give their ice cream its famously smooth texture. There's something comforting about knowing the process hasn't changed in nearly a century. The locations offer the two beloved mainstay flavors--rich chocolate and classic vanilla--but where it really shines is in its rotating weekly flavors. From fresh peach in the summer to fun options like birthday cake, there's always something new to try. You can check out the weekly flavor schedule online or on their Facebook page, which is especially handy if you have a favorite you don't want to miss. In addition to their signature ice cream, Strickland's also serves up milkshakes that are just as thick and satisfying. Whether you're a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, it's easy to see why Strickland's has remained a favorite for generations. Stop by, grab a cone, and enjoy a taste of Ohio tradition.

We had a hankering for ice cream recently and decided to try out this place since it was nearby…read more It's in an old strip center in the Merriman Valley area of Akron, tucked in a corner between a tanning salon and a laundromat. Upon entering, we saw that they are all connected to one another with shared staff (at least on the laundry side). Service was a little slow as the lone worker was busy with the laundry, but she was very friendly and welcoming when she got to us. The ice cream was delicious, especially the key lime pie flavor. My partner loved the buckeye. We'll go back to try more flavors in the future.

Chill Ice Cream is a cute downtown location to satisfy two cravings - chocolate and ice cream!…read morePretty cool concept. There are variety of seasonal specials on both sides including Easter bunnies. There are also a lot of discount options. I tried sakura ice cream available in honor of Sakura festival. It was very subtle and just okay. To be very honest, I did not feel the best about the cleanliness of this shop. It looked outdated and in need of a deep clean. The staff were welcoming. The shop has a few tables. No outdoor seating available. You could take your ice cream for a walk downtown or to Lock 3 park. Street parking is available. Lock 3 park across the street has a big multi story garage.

They give a generous scoop and let you try any flavor that you would like to sample before committing to it.

I like it because they have a lot of toppings and you actually put the toppings on yourself. The…read moreonly downside is that if you don't eat dairy ice cream, your options are very limited as far as nondairy. The non-dairy flavors were limited to sorbets. I would definitely come back. Service was excellent, and the girls behind the counter are really nice. You can also sample both flavors before.

It is very kid friendly and more geared towards families with little ones. After filling your cup (or tub in my case) you get to get it smothered in your choice of toppings. It's a solid option in the Fairlawn area for frozen treats.

When looking for a sweet treat, Handel's always hits the spot! I have been going to Handel's ever…read moresince I was a kid, and I still don't think I've tried every flavor on the menu. They are constantly adding new variations and seasonal offerings, and every one is delicious in its own way. Tonight I tried the midnight madness on a waffle cone: dark chocolate, peanut butter, and Oreo. WOW! This chocolate was sooo rich, almost too overpowering, even for a chocolate lover like me. I absolutely loved the crunchy additions of the Oreo pieces and peanut butter chips; overall it was a really unique and tasty dessert. I couldn't believe the prices at this Handel's location! We got 2 cones absolutely loaded with ice cream (I recommend asking for a cup and spoon to put your ice cream in to avoid spilling it!) for less than $10. Way cheaper than the Handel's by my house! So happy I got to satisfy my cravings at Handel's tonight!

They use a lot of their own farm-grown ingredients and you can "tell" everything is real. If you get the chance, don't pass this one up. They have an assortment of flavors that will make it difficult for you to choose! The service was great, and the place was very clean and kept well. My only regret while there was that we didn't get to see the "other" business they have there on the bakery/farm side of. NEXT TIME!
