Ice cream haven (the sign says heaven which is a great story if you can get it out of them!) is my boyfriends long time favorite place. We often drive from Collinsville just to go here for ice cream. Their ice cream has more of an ice milk flavor to me rather than the really heavy creamy taste. I think it's more refreshing when it's really hot out. Service is fast and there is a cute little outdoor seating area. We always get some of their packaged twist ice cream to go so we have a supply at home. It's a cute place and a nice quick place to grab some. Tasty ice cream! read more

See all

We were in the mood for a good ice cream place and FOUND IT. The service was great, the ice cream was perfect and the owner was very welcoming with his old fashioned style ice creamery. Not a downfall at all but be prepared to pay cash because that's all they accept. It was our first time here and we Absolutely loved this place. Highly recommend. read more

Asked for m&m in my ice cream. He told me it didn't come with it. Asked for a lid and he gave me a cup with 2 scoops with no lid. Every time I go to this ice cream shop the owner is always not in the mood for customers. If they couldn't do what I wanted then I didn't want to pay for my ice cream but my kids had their scoops already. Would not recommend, sole on how the owners don't take the time to really grasp what the customer wants before walking off. read more

This place is the best! So refreshing and yummy! Great prices. They are quick and have a couple picnic tables to enjoy the cold treat in the summer sun! read more

It's ice cream nothing overly special the old man at the window is a rude ass hat that kept making smart ass comments and took a eternity to service us. read more

The prices and quality of ice cream are great! Lots of variety too. It's always busy when I go, and I can see why! Definitely recommend!

Don't wait for McD's ice cream machine to go out before you check this place out. Love supporting family owned businesses; especially when the food is good. Lots of ice cream for the price and friendly service. Will be going back again. read more

Rude lady at the counter, short black hair. It was my first time there and I was trying to figure out the sizes and what I wanted to get and my friend told her we were ready. So I told her I wanted the crunchy cones and wasn't sure what size and she shoves a finger down on the paper that was on the counter and says "Sizes right here. You should have saw it when you walked by it." Like would it have hurt her to just simply say "Here are the sizes". She acted like I spent a minute deciding. Only 3 seconds had passed. I don't care what anyone says, she did not have to word it that way. read more

They are so amazing! They wear masks and they are such a cute couple. They have a cute little outdoor seating section and have so many different selections. They have many different flavors! read more

No wonder this place is closing. Good riddance! They could care less about the customer, or what they want. Can't put candy toppings on a sunday? Really?? That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard! Just an old man stuck in his ways who's unwilling to satisfy his customers. See ya! read more

No chocolate or vanilla ice cream, only soft serve and the soft serve is over priced and not very good at all. It's too icy and not at all creamy. This was not a good experience here. read more

Nothing special, nothing bad. First time visiting on a Saturday night, steady foot traffic the whole time we were there. Plenty of parking and tables to sit at on the side of the building. Took awhile to look over the menu, many different menus on the outside of the building. Settled on a chocolate dipped soft serve cone for me and a triple scoop Ice Cream waffle cone for the hubby. Both were fine, nothing unusually great, but tasted just fine. I heard this is their last season in this location so we will probably not be back. There are other places we prefer over this one. read more

The Ice Cream Haven - Triple scoop mint chocolate chip and chocolate chip in a waffle cone. Soft serve chocolate dipped cone. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Belleville, Illinois

I wind up here a couple times a week. The ice cream is awesome, and is different from the other local shops by just that little bit that makes them better. My current favorite is still a hot fudge and marshmallow shake, but I have not had anything bad yet. My only two complaints is that it is cash only, which is not so horrible since there is a free atm at the GCS Credit Union down the street; and the guy can seem grumpy. But the grumpiness seems mostly to be over people sitting on the tables... and so far this year he hasn't been bad at all. But this place is definitely a place to try. read more

Love he variety of flavors as well as cones. Plus if my kids like it I Love it! I'll definitely be back for more!

Been faithful customers for almost 15 years! BEST ice cream around. Love that it's affordable and a great selection. The owners are BOTH wonderful and very sweet! My favorite is the vanilla/chocolate swirl! This is a must try treat if in the area! read more

I love good quality ice cream, so was really disappointed with the quality of this ice cream. It's inexpensive for that reason. If you just want a quick sugar fix this would be a fun place, but I left disappointed. read more

Cheap and tasty! Been coming here for 14 years and have never had a problem. It's run by a husband-wife team and yes, the husband can be a bit quiet, but he has never been rude to me. His wife is a total sweetheart and more friendly with the customers. The menu is fairly simple but the prices cannot be beat. The "Turtle Pie Sundae" is an entire slice of pie smothered in a huge bowl of ice cream. Price? $3! We can set the entire family up (4 of us) with ice cream for less than $10. The place is cash only, which is probably one way they are able to keep their prices so low. There is outside seating and plenty of parking. read more

We ordered from the grumpy guy at the counter, who was repeatedly impatient with my indecisive toddlers. Once they did make up their minds and I told him their order, he said there was no way they could handle that order. If I'm paying, and that's what they want, then MAKE it! When I slightly modified their orders, he still didn't want to make them. We ended up walking away with no ice cream. We will not be going back. I'm guessing this grouch could end up costing them the business... read more

Love Ice Cream Haven. Mourn the winter season when they are closed. I am addicted to the chocolate/vanilla swirl cone. But changed it up a bit with the vanilla Heath concrete. Sounds plain jane but I swear there is some type of addictive substance that keeps me coming back for more! read more

I like to eat at haven ever night and then after a year I put all of my used haven cups into my bed and sleep with them. Mmmmmm.

Ice cream is great, the man serving us sometimes wasn't the nicest and often got our orders wrong (btw I recommend their hot fudge malts:)

First time here. Kid got a vanilla soft serve and I got a 2 scoop waffle cone. Came out to $5.25. ice cream tastes great. We were helped by the man who was perfectly polite enough for us. They only take cash but for their prices I could probably find enough change in the bottom of my purse for a good snack. There was only one car when we got here so I had low expectations for our visit. I figured in this heat, everywhere would be packed. But while I sit in my car, eating my butter pecan Ice cream, I've probably seen 20 people come and go. This reminds me of a real old school ice cream shop. We'll be back. read more

Ice Cream Haven is fantastic. Never had a problem with the owner. Just have an idea what you want, and order it. It's pretty simple. And yes, his wife is a sweetheart. You couldn't ask for better prices, and this place is so clean. I can't wait until they re-open for the season. read more

I agree with the previous poster....the old guy is a class A jerk. I mean, c'mon..it's ice cream! Dont be such a grouch and enjoy the smiles it brings kids on hot summer nights. Besides that,it is decent ice cream for a fair price. Although the orange-vanilla swirl had virtually no orange taste to it. I would say it's a decent find.....maybe comparable to Gators Ice Cream in O'Fallon. read more

These people are not that nice. I ordered a hot fudge brownie and it was a somewhat stale Little Debbie "Cosmic" brownie w/ soft serve and Hershey's syrup. read more

No stars. Spend the extra money to go to another local ice cream shop like I scream u scream. You'll get way better customer service, quality product, & be in a better atmosphere. This place had none of these. read more
