I visited them at the Nebraska Brewing Company summer night market, and we ordered a few things. They offer ice cream cones in different Harry Potter house colors. I picked the Hufflepuff because it came in a black vanilla cone with cookies and cream ice cream (my fav!) The cones they use are not the kind you find in the box at the grocery store. They are gorgeously decorated with designs - it looked so opulent and fancy on the black cone I had! We also tried some of the floats. The root beer float was amazing, probably due to the high quality ice cream they use, which I also noticed in my Hufflepuff cone. And I tried the Butterbeer Float and - my heavens - that was delicious. A twist on a normal root beer float but with buttery, creamy Butterbeer soda swapped out for the normal root beer. Yum!! The staff was nice and expedient with the orders, they have a fun theme to enjoy, and their ice cream and other treats were beyond tasty. That's an A+ in my book!

Full disclosure: my youngest daughter's name is Casey. So, when I saw there was a town named Casey,…read moreIowa, I had to stop and see what it was all about. I'm happy to report that she'd be proud of her namesake town, especially Casey's Creamery. From the outside, I initially wondered if it was more of a decorative storefront than a working ice cream shop. The moment I stepped inside, I realized it was the real deal. What makes Casey's Creamery stand out is its small-batch approach to ice cream, with creative flavors that make it worth taking your time to decide. I was also pleasantly surprised to find they serve donut holes--a fun addition that pairs perfectly with a scoop of ice cream. Whether you're making a road trip across Iowa or simply passing through central Iowa, Casey's Creamery is a sweet place to take a break, cool off, and enjoy a treat. It's a charming hometown shop that's well worth the stop.

There were a bunch of different choices on the menu, and the staff were willing to mix and match certain flavors. I went with their version of a blizzard and choose the cherry mash flavor. Super tasty and brought me right back to my childhood! There were a few tables, chairs, and couches to sit at on the inside and outside. Definitely recommend to swing by this little hidden gem with your family!

It would be reasonable to expect that a Midwestern city would offer some high quality local ice…read morecream, and this place appears to be the standard-bearer here. Branded as "Farm to cone", they have an exciting flavor variety to intrigue the adults in the room, of which there were quite a few. I sampled a more classic mint chocolate chip and a more experimental basil flavor with white chocolate chips, both kind of thematically similar. Both flavors hit hard, and the house waffle cone was thinner than I expected but pleasingly browned and it held up well. While the focus on dairy is expected, they do offer several sorbets for those whose dietary needs require it. Business was vigorous even on a midweek night, and I would note that for an ice cream place in an area where the sun does not set in summer until almost 9, they close on the early side, so hurry on over.

We visited the Blackstone District location, but the other one had no parking and the area was so sketchy. Blackstone though is going through construction so we had to drive around, but we found street parking right in front! The shop is very cute, but small! I think service was friendly, I think I was just distracted with how many options there were! The ice cream flavors were interesting and I went with the basil white chocolate - it was so basil forward and I LOVED that. It had bites of white chocolate and I think it mellowed out the basil for me. Still, my favorite. My husband ordered cinnamon cheesecake for himself, and a tart cherry crumble - both of these were lovely! Seating is very limited as there is a bench inside with two round tables, but they are so close together you might as just sit outside at another set of two tables. Decently priced for gourmet ice cream and I loved the shout out on their wall of local farmers that supply certain ingredients!

The frappe was to die for! The Monte Cristo panini was on sourdough bread and strawberry jam, with honey ham, and provolone cheese, topped with powdered sugar. And the blueberry scone while I was hesitant to try because of the purple frosting on top, I would say it rivals the scones in Williamsburg Tanger Outlet BP bakery, which is really hard to do.

In fact, I try not to visit between November and February due solely to the fact that Christy Creme is closed during those months. I grew up on their hamburgers, fries, malts, sherbert of the day and ice cream sandwiches. Nothing beats there food and ice cream. I often dream of eating there so it's a painful reminder to wake up and realize I'm 1,300 miles away.... If you live nearby, please do yourself a favor and stop in. If not for yourself, do it for me, who is not so lucky as to live close by. P.S. Please do not ever close!! It's terrible enough when you do during the winter months.

Having a bit of appetite, we ordered the Onion Rings -- they were delicious! Unlike some places, they use real onion slices. My only issue was that they provided ketchup instead of fry sauce. Ice cream flavor of the day was Lime ‍. That was unusual enough to grab my attention and I like tartness. Accordingly, I got a medium cone of Lime twisted with vanilla. Very tasty! I just wish they would have piled a bit more ice cream on that cone. My wife got an ice cream sandwich. She let it thaw while we devoured the onion rings and it was very good.
