I've been coming here for decades since I was a kid. I've tried a lot of the flavors, but the flavor of their hot caramel melting through their vanilla bean ice cream absolutely cannot be topped! This has been and always will be my absolute favorite ice cream treat that I've ever tasted. The caramel is served hot, which slightly melts the ice cream for a perfect texture. The flavor of the caramel is very clearly homemade in the best way! The ice cream itself is also purely homemade, made from heavy cream that coats your mouth in the best way. This is truly the best sweet treat you can find, and a must try for any anyone else who is a fan of caramel!! read more

This has sat in my drafts for too long especially for ice cream this yummy. Warning : super creamy ice cream with a lot of fat - 20-% butterfat. You might get addicted and want to eat it everyday even during the winter. Stopped in here one night while staying at the Hyatt pace across the street. Keep seeing folks go in and out of here even when it's freezing and snowing. Has to discover what the fuss was about for myself. I was not prepared for absolutely scrumptious ice cream. Went back several times that week. Menu rotates so got to try other flavors. Fast service and cute decor. Okay parking. read more

Great atmosphere and ice cream! Generally places like this come across as gimmicky - but the ice cream and toppings were legit and while it was busy, the great and quick service kept things moving. Only negative is the lack of folks cleaning the stickiness off of the tables with the high volume of customers they have. Hope I get to go back some day! read more

So good!! Omaha famous for a reason. Great ice cream with fun vibes. In a great location in downtown/ old market Omaha. I love how many types of ice cream they have. You can't go wrong with a single kind!! Be prepared to wait in line on a beautiful day. Prices are fair and service is quick read more

I have to be honest, I couldn't wait to try this spot but it wasn't quite as delicious as I was hoping. The vibe was fun and old-fashioned, and I loved the old, salt-encrusted, homemade ice cream makers on display. We were early enough that we didn't wait in line on a beautiful summer evening. They're known for some out-there, experimental flavors, but it sort of feels out of alignment with an old-timey ice cream shop. Like, I wouldn't mind seeing them just put together some of the best mint chip I could dream up, not some whacky combo that is brand new to me. I tried a "sweet corn," because, when in Nebraska, right? I'd also had that flavor elsewhere and it was really good. This one was fine. I grew tired of it pretty early, and despite ordering a kids scoop, I essentially had a double handed to me (appreciate it but wasn't hungry). Ended up pitching it. Overall, a fun place and I'd just steer towards classics next time, and would love to see more on their menu. read more

Wasn't super impressed- the ice cream was mediocre at best. Nice staff, and they were definitely busy, but the place was not very clean, we couldn't find a table to sit at that wasn't sticky and covered in drips. I think there's definitely better in Omaha. read more

Really good icecream and worth the price! Staff were friendly as well and service was quick.

Ice cream was good but not amazing. Also very expensive, especially if you only want one scoop, particularly for Omaha. The cost is only fractionally more expensive for a double, triple, or quadruple scoop so gluttony gets you much better value here. Came in on a Saturday early afternoon and they were already out of multiple flavors that were up on the wall. The flavor selection isn't huge and they only had one sorbet option. I ended up getting their blue moon flavor and strawberry ice cream flavor. Both were good and somewhat creamy but did not blow me away. read more

Ted and Wally's extra high fat ice cream which gives the creamy dense deliciousness to every scoop. I got a scoop of the pear cobbler flavor. I enjoyed it greatly. The Keto Cotton Candy flavor is amazingly like cotton candy, but low sugar! If you like cotton candy, this is the ice cream for you! My friend got the chocolate and it is also one of my faves. The prices have gone up since my last trip to Ted and Wally's. It is now more than $6 for 1 scoop. I think this is just how prices are everywhere right now. read more

Good selection of ice cream flavors that are made locally. Had a large group come through and everyone enjoyed it. Will say that the Pralines and Cream could use just a little something extra to put the flavor over the top. You did not get a huge flavor of praline. read more

This is a great old fasion ice cream spot if you like the traditional way of making ice cream. I will say it is not the best but it is dog gone good. It has the right texture and richness. The secret will be how they make the cream probably a close kept secret. My only complaint is it is over mixed resulting in a cream heavily air rated. Other than it is refreshing. It does melt fast. Licking consisrantly will hep to prevent drips. I do recommend. I tried the nutty buddy, a type of peanut butter flavor. In a single sugar cone for about $7. A little pricey but worth it to get the rich butter cream. Give it a try. read more

We went to the small downtown location of this local gem. Ice cream tasted homemade. I had the Dutch chocolate. Lovely flavor. Next time I want to try the peach. I also want to try mixing in some Of the yummy candies you can add like health bars. A nice treat on a hot day in Omaha. read more

Was looking for a good desert after dinner and landed on Ted & Wally's. It's homemade ice cream and you can tell! They do have limited flavors everyday and some of them are a little funky and some do run out by the end of the night too - which is always a good sign. It was busy even right before they were supposed to close. I got the Dutch chocolate and it was good, none of the other options excited me so I had to go with something pretty boring. The inside was clean and had some fun decorations, fluorescent lights, fun art, etc. Definitely pop over here for desert if you have dinner in the Omaha Old Market! read more

This didn't do it for me. The measure of a great ice cream shop is how well they execute on the basics - vanilla ice cream especially - and this shop missed the mark badly on the vanilla bean. Dutch chocolate was much better and had the correct expected texture and flavor, but I'm not really a chocolate ice cream fan so a single scoop was all I could really get through. I tried several flavors on my first visit and tried the new flavors the following day before returning home, and unfortunately, the problems that I observed in the vanilla, I observed across almost all of the flavors samples. Which is the texture despite being advertised as high fat has this undercurrent texture I found to be watery and icy. Like there was almost this fine gritty texture that I've experienced only with ice cream that has been allowed to thaw and refreeze improperly too many times at like old ice cream at the grocery store or in the back of your grandma's old forgotten freezer. On top of it all it was incredibly expensive for a single scoop ($7) and I say this as someone from California. I believe the economics improve with multiple scoops, but I couldn't force myself to finish a single scoop let alone try to get through more than one, an ice cream shouldn't be something you force yourself to get through. Sorry folks, this was a miss for me. read more

This will always be my favorite ice cream in Omaha. The flavors are ever changing and always unique, and they magically taste EXACTLY like what they are named, no matter how bizarre. Last night I had the cotton candy rice krispy, and it was fantastic! read more

This was a short walk from our dinner spot in old town. Grabbed two cups: mint Oreo milkshake and the Dutch chocolate. $13.51, both are expensive. The ice creams are pretty smooth in texture. The mint Oreo ice cream color doesn't look so appealing. Neither ice cream does a lot for me. It's not super creamy or rich in flavor, both seem flat to me. Both would be a tad bit better to add some chocolate bits or chips or something to break it up some. About the most underwhelming ice cream I have had since a very long time. read more

So we were on the hunt for ice cream and this was the only place close by on a weekend night that was open. The full parking lot and decent line we thought was a good sign that this place would be good. Honestly I feel like the flavors were mid, and even the basic ones were too. I got a sugar cone with 1 scoop of ice cream, and while it was a decent sized scoop... it had freezer burn pieces of ice in it. Needless to say not impressed with this place, maybe they had an off night/day? But will probably not come back. read more

Yum! Went on Sunday at noon and they were not busy. Dutch chocolate on a sugar cone was SO good! The other flavors sounded fun too. I tried stroopwaffle and wow, they nailed it. Was cool to see one of the employees physically churning the ice cream. Great spot! read more

Will always be my favorite ice cream spot in Omaha. From the simple cinnamon and ditch chocolate pairing to some of their more wacky flavor options, I always leave happy (and full). read more

How do you find an amazing ice cream place? You look for a place with a line out the door, wrapping around the building and going to the parking lot! Very original and vintage place, something to look at while you wait :-) read more

My daughter and I visited on Thursday night. We thought it might be less busy than the weekends--wrong! The line was just starting to go out the door when we got there. We waited anyway because we know that's pretty typical and the line moves quickly. Their seating area is not very big, but in warmer months people will often eat outside as well. They have a mix of tables and booths where you can sit. Ted & Wally's posts the day's flavors on a big chalkboard display, and they're known for making their own waffle cones in-house. The variety changes daily and even throughout the day---two flavors that were on their Facebook post earlier in the day had been switched to two new flavors by the time we got there, around 8:30 pm. Along with ice cream dishes and cones, they make sundaes, shakes, banana splits, and have toppings you can mix with your ice cream. My daughter got a single scoop of vanilla, and I got a single scoop of blueberry pomegranate sorbet. I say single scoop because that's the size we ordered, but I watched my server scoop my sorbet out of the container four times. It was more than enough for me--but they do offer larger sizes as well. This was our first visit back for the spring, but I am sure we will return many times over the spring and summer months. read more

I'm visiting from AZ and after having a horrible lunch from a restaurant nearby, my girlfriend who grew up in Omaha wanted to redeem the Omaha food scene by suggesting we have some dessert here. She redeemed the day because the ice cream was the perfect cap to end our afternoon. Because the flavors are in constant rotation, you have to hope they have something that suits your taste buds. Having sampled a few flavors before we ordered, you know they use quality ingredients. For us the Maple Bourbon was money. I ended up getting a scoop of the Maple Bourbon, Heath Almond Cappuccino, and Vanilla Bean (I'm a sucker for vanilla bean). It was all great and would have no objections to coming back for an ice cream fix if I lived here. read more

My boyfriend visited this spot before & was eager to share this ice cream experience with me. We were delighted to see the shop from our hotel window - so we walked in the rain to try it. Even a chilly, rainy night didn't prevent others from coming in - I was surprised at how busy it was. There was an interesting selection of flavors. (I wanted more options with chocolate - but that's my bias) I tried Make America Crunchy Again - an apple pie-inspired flavor. The taste was good but I wanted more chunks of stuff in it. My boyfriend lived his French Almond Custard. It's a popular spot with a fun vintage vibe. I see why folks like it. read more

Yeah, no. I understand that they use a century old technique and 'ultra premium' ingredients and all but at the end of the day, the flavors were limited and tasted pretty ordinary. Nothing special especially considering lines and the hype. My daughter enjoyed the strawberry and lemonade sorbet and the service was friendly and prompt so I am giving it three stars but mildly disappointed so don't think I'll be back. read more

The ice cream was rich and creamy. Although it can get crowded, it wasn't crowded when I got there probably since I went on a Sunday afternoon. The outside looks like a vintage service station and the inside had a modern industrial feel into it. read more

Stopping in for some homemade ice cream! Yikes! What happened to customer parking at Ted & Wallys? Ted & Wallys offers great ice cream and a typical visit to this restaurant is probably not more than 20 minutes to finish an ice cream. Customer parking has now been overtaken by employee parking and reserved spots for other businesses in the neighborhood which makes it a bit problematic to try to get into this particular business. We stopped in on Monday evening, and of the seven employee parking spots, three were taken and the balance of the four empty spots were blocked by cones. It's pretty clear from a conversation from the employees that there are no plans to address this access issue and honestly probably puts a little bit of a Kabash on coming back. Despite the good ice cream, service was spotty, wobbly tables and no parking access is a big problem. Probably will going to another business with better access, service and seating in the future. read more

I read that Omaha is known for their corn ice cream. Ok- when in Rome do as the Romans right? WRONG. I read an article that stated Ted and Wally's do corn ice cream. I stood in line for an hour only to realize that the corn ice cream is seasonal (Which season? I don't know.) But it wasn't July! I pivoted because I did stand in line for an hour. I ordered cake batter which I was then alerted there might not be enough left for a small scoop! This ice cream was ok- regular ice cream. Why the line? It's in the market. I cannot tell you the jokes the guys made when I got back into the car after standing in line and not only did I not have corn ice cream but then the cake batter was a flop. Ted and Wally's totally entertained them. read more

Ice cream itself is good. There are plenty of options and there was one vegan one as well that tasted great. Low review is for the service alone. The workers here are teenagers that are not interested in being nice. Many gave us rude looks or just stared awkwardly. They were very rude taking the orders and someone even pushed me aside trying to get into the kitchen. Random friends of the workers went behind the counters and like wandered around laughing. Everything was slow like we were inconveniencing them by being there even though the line was out the door. Lots of the workers hanging out behind the counter whispering to each other. Super unprofessional. The person who blended my milkshake shoved the spoon in there so hard it broke :) I had pieces of plastic spoon mixed into my drink :) whole thing had to go in the trash :) Needless to say I wouldn't be back. The ice cream itself tasted good but I only had a bit or two before I realized the spoon was completely broken and started fishing pieces out. Wouldn't be back. read more
