This ice cream shop is located right near the pedestrian bridge (currently closed but reportedly opening in September 2026?). Choose a base (chocolate vs vanilla yogurt or ice cream) + cup/cone - greater than $0.5 + toppings ranging from $.75-$.95. We ended up getting Vanilla ice cream with cookies and creme as well as chocolate yogurt + cookie dough for our little one. Portion sizes were large and tasty. Pricing was $$ but so is most ice cream shops in the area. Service was quick and the young workers in the store were quick and attentive. The only downside is that if there are any allergies to any of the items (including over 10+ nuts, I would NOT recommend as they do a very simple water wash of the ice cream mixing machines). read more

Cute little shop outside of the pedestrian bridge. Pick either vanilla or chocolate for a base and add as many "add ins" as you want. They have some recommended combinations, but your options are endless. Service was quick and friendly. read more

This what you do, right. You walk the Walnut Bridge in either in the summer or the winter and you immediately go to this place. It serves the best ice cream and the best hot chocolate ever. In the summer you get the ice cream, you get to mix toppings and you get to mix many flavors. But then in the winter time you get the hot chocolate. The hot chocolate has whipped cream and marshmallows whipped together on top and the hot chocolate is like a hug wrapped in a cup. Best ever. read more

The was our go to spot for ice cream while vacationing in Chattanooga! We've been here both times that we visited, and both times we left happy with the quality of the food!! The banana pudding shake was to die for point blank period!!! My wife had the hot fudge shake, and the kiddos had chocolate cups with andis mints pieces in them. There was absolutely zero complaints from them lol. They offer almond milk as well as oat milk options as well. Usually Dairy Queen and other fast food places that offer ice cream, messes with my wife's stomach but this place does not at all. The only complaint that I have is the price was pretty hefty. For two shakes, two kids cups, and an adult small cup, it was $41. That's literally almost an entire meal for the family at Chick-fil-a. We will still be back when we visit, but I think that there would be tons more people if the prices were a bit more reasonable. Overall the service was fine and this is definitely somewhere you can take your family before a walk on the bridge. read more

We came here after walking the bridge. When I read the reviews I was concerned as it only had 4 stars. However we were here wife wanted ice cream so here we go. Walked in, nice cozy place. It's either vanilla or chocolate ice cream. But with that you add your toppings which get mixed into the ice cream. We went old school with cookie dough and macadamia nut ice cream. What was the magic was when they made it, they put the ice cream into a machine which then makes it a soft serve almost when it comes out. That was cool. I can't show the video as I was cursing in it lol. Anyway ice cream was delicious. A bit over priced at 9 dollars for a cone. read more

Me and the group of friends were in town for my birthday and decided to walk the Walnut Street Bridge. We did and took some great pictures and on my way back saw this cute little ice cream shop. It was really hot outside that day so ice cream sounded delicious. The way this ice cream shop works is you get to choose between chocolate or vanilla and it could be either ice cream or yogurt. You pick your toppings which is $.40 per topping. And you choose a cup or cone. They take the ingredients and they blend it all together and put it into your choice of cup or cone. They were really fast because by the time I took my card out to pay they were handing me my ice cream. I chose to do the vanilla ice cream with Reesie's cup and caramel. It was really really good. I would definitely recommend trying out this ice cream shop. read more

Awesome customer service and great icecream. It was our first time visiting and the girl behind the counter was very helpful in explaining how to order and what were the best sellers. read more

This little shop is located just outside the Walnut Street Pedestrian bridge and is worth a stop so you have something to snack on before or after you cross. My guess is that this place is family owned since there's a young kid maybe 5th grade that worked the register and knows what he is doing. I quite respect that. They don't have any preorderable creations. Everything you order has to be created by you. It's really simple though. You simply choose vanilla and or chocolate ice cream as the base with the style you want (shake, sorbet, ice cream) then simply add ingredients at 60 cents each (or 85 for certain ones). They have PLENTY of ingredients to choose from. I personally got the vanilla shake with cheesecake and mango. I could indeed taste all the flavors and it was satisfying. read more

I absolutely love being able to customize my own ice cream and the employees here is so kind. I had a great conversation with the person who checked us out about my shirt and music I enjoyed. It definitely feels very nostalgic. I recommend getting vanilla with strawberry, banana, and marshmallow. I would love to come here again if I'm in town! read more

Expect a longgg wait standing in line to order, this place is BUSY! The workers only have 2 machines to work on for making ice cream, which greatly hinders the speed of service. While waiting, make sure to check out the beautiful artwork on the walls--which is for purchase. This place completes all expectations given, you will get an ice cream show, directions for choosing ice cream are clear, and there are over 70,000 combinations that can be made. While the ice cream is nothing special (you can get Mayfields at a grocery store), the special part is the machine that blends the ingredients into the ice cream. We went twice and tried different flavor combinations. My favorite was vanilla with brownie and black cherry. My boyfriends favorite was vanilla with peaches and mango. The flavors were delicious added in, instead of just being toppings. It hit the spot for a sweet treat! read more

The location is the best! Right off the Walnut Street Bridge. Hunter museum of American Art is close by as well as the Bluff Furnace Historical park. Could definitely get your steps in before indulging in some ice cream! It's soft serve ice cream! You choose vanilla or chocolate ice cream or yogurt. Then you choose toppings that they mix into it. It was yummy! I prefer hard packed ice cream but this hit the spot! read more

I'm still not sure exactly how my order was priced, so I'm deducting a star, but I thoroughly enjoyed my ice cream! Spotting a small sign on the counter mentioning their new Charcoal topping, I chose that, and added Walnuts & Irish Cream to my vanilla ice cream in a waffle cone. Their cone holders looked awesome, but even before halfway across the Walnut Street Bridge, my waffle cone was dripping terribly and I had to stop at a trash can to finish it. Luckily, I'd grabbed a bunch of napkins, because it was a mess at that point! The selection of toppings is amazing! They seem to have plenty of seating both indoors & outside, and the decor is cool. Also, Mom noticed a watering station for dogs by their outdoor tables. Hey, Gilligan, #RoadTrip? read more

Super fun place They take soft serve ice cream and mix it in a huge mixer with your.toppings of choice. Over 40 options to choose from Forgot to get pictures before we ate it Would definitely come back if we are in Chattanooga again Prices are very reasonable read more

This is a no frills ice cream shop. The rules were simple; choose a flavor, choose the cup or cone, choose the toppings. Then they'd mix it for you. I chose vanilla ice cream with cookie dough, Oreo and cake mix to be blended together atop a waffle cone cup. The ice cream was soft, which I loved. I definitely see why this place is highly reviewed. Even though they were busy, I didn't wait long for my food. This place knows good ice cream! read more

This is the perfect spot to stop in after a casual walk across the pedestrian bridge. The Ice Cream Show is nothing exceptionally fancy, but rather takes you on an toppings adventure. Think 500+ custom blended blizzards. They use Mayfield ice cream and you begin your journey choosing vanilla or chocolate. After you chose your base you get to decide what toppings to mix in. The ice cream then gets hand scooped into a machine that mixes and mashes the toppings evenly throughout the ice cream and finishes by smoothly exiting like a soft serve. The decor is old fashion picture show, carnival, ice cream shop. There are several nastalgic items worth slowing down to look at. I enjoyed our visit and love that there is a spot at the end of the bridge. If someone in the party has any time of food allergies or sensitivities I cannot recommend The Ice Cream Show because there is an extremely high risk of cross contamination. read more

Kind of mediocre. Ended up here because of its location. We were at the aquarium and it was nearby. High prices, grocery store quality.

If your idea of good ice cream is a cheap grocery store brand this is the place for you. Add the rude Gen Zers and my rec is to give it a miss. read more

You choose either vanilla or chocolate and then any mix ins you want. Ice cream was good and cool concept. Wish they had more base ice cream choices lol but that's my only critique! read more

Stopped in here at 1030 at night before we hit the pedestrian bridge to walk through the lights. It was rather busy for as late as it was, and as cold as it was. The menu was slightly confusing but then we finally got the hang of how to order ( just make sure you follow the steps). The small cup was a rather big portion size and was enough for everyone. I rather enjoyed my cookie dough with vanilla ice cream base. If you are in the area stop in here - I promise you'll enjoy it. read more

Just really solid ice cream. I got a cup of chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cups mixed in before heading back over the Walnut Street Bridge. Also got a cup of Frosty Paws frozen yogurt (containing vanilla yogurt, peanut butter, and banana) for the dog, who absolutely could not get enough of the stuff - like, standing on her hind legs to get the perfect angle to attack/lick. Will make a point to return next time I'm in town. read more

If you have a peanut allergy stay away from this place, all the ingredients go through the machines so they have no way to separate. Its been really hard to find a decent place for ice cream, this is just okay in my opinion. Their products aren't packed with sugar as they don't taste super sweet which is good and you can pick the toppings you want. They throw the ingredients in a mixer like machine so everything is mixed in with either the ice cream or the frozen yogurt, I was not a fan of this because I like to put it on top and pick how much of each. Service wasn't good at all, they have a sign on a jar 'tips for broken students'. No interest at all on explaining how it works, your options, your toppings, the mixing, we were rushed out of there, it was aprox 530pm and the store was completely empty. The shop is located in a really beautiful spot downtown, right off the pedestrian bridge. There is the Edwin hotel right in front of it, museum's, parks, the view is stunning and its a really nice place for a summer evening. They also have bowls of water for your pets!! read more

Man this was some REALLY good Ice Cream at the Ice Cream Show! The Ice Cream Show is in excellent position, being right in the middle of the river walk and the Tennessee Aquarium. In fact, we took a break from the aquarium and walked back here to take a walk break! So how does the Ice Cream Show work? You start with your base, chocolate or vanilla (I got chocolate, my girlfriend got vanilla), and then you begin to add as many or as few toppings as you like. Each flavor or topping you add is $0.60, so be careful adding in or there may be some sticker shock. Here's what we got: Small cup of Chocolate ($2.95) Pecan topping ($0.60) Rum topping ($0.60) Coconut topping ($0.60) Small cup of vanilla ($2.95) Toffee topping ($0.60) The toppings are blended into the ice cream, and whoa, the dark chocolate was rich, and the rum flavor was strong enough to make me think it was REAL rum (nope, it's not). Man I devoured this thing! The Vanilla with toffee was also very tasty, VERY sweet, and both had a smooth consistency that made me smile. There is outdoor seating as well as indoor, and while we came in at a lull period, don't let that fool you because no sooner than us sitting down that the line became almost out the door long! While the ice cream is great, they do offer specialty drinks as well just in case you're not feeling ice cream. Really enjoyed the flavor of this little ice cream spot and I think you may too. Go check it out! read more

Literally stumbled on this place! I needed an excuse to get out of the cold, and I need caffeine even more! So boom. My husband and I go inside. He's not w coffee drinker, so he opted for ice cream. They literally have a million flavors and mix it themselves with some swanky machine. He got a vanilla base, cheesecake, black cherries, and pecans. It's mixed with well, that it's almost like a thick milkshake in a dip. I got a salted praline mocha (which is a seasonal drink) and it was the bomb. It's also right by the bridge so I can walk off all these carbs. Definitely would recommend. Also, got 20% off after I checked in on yelp! You're welcome! read more

I've come here every single time I've been to Chattanooga except for once. This was probably my 5th or 6th time here and I still absolutely love it. It is by far, my favorite ice cream place EVER. That being said, it's my favorite because the ice cream is super fluffy and the toppings are blended in extremely well. I always go with a vanilla ice cream in a cone with some Oreos blended in. Their ice cream push blending machines are pretty cool to watch. If it's your first time here I'd recommend watching your ice cream being made. The interior is relaxed along with some chill outdoor seating. This is the perfect place to treat yourself too before or after walking across chattanoogas pedestrian bridge! read more

During our one month stay in the city, we went 8 times and that's how good it is. A few tips: 1. Skip the waffle cone, which is pretty lackluster. 2. If you do the chocolate base, do chocolate-related toppings too (e.g. chocolate chips, oreo, brownie, nutella, nuts), but not fruits. 3. Unlike chocolate, a vanilla base allows you to really taste all the toppings. I tweaked my toppings a little every time, and I think I have converged on what work best for me: Vanilla base, milk chocolate chips, nutella, butterfingers, cookie dough. Other toppings I've tried: Oreo -- good, but all it added was texture. Dark chocolate chips -- too chunky, too hard to chew, unlike milk chocolate chips Hazelnut -- couldn't tell it was there at all, maybe too pulverized? Graham crackers -- like oreo, it only added texture. Marshmallow -- couldn't tell at all. Brownie -- good, but only for people with a sweet tooth. Snickers -- I like snickers, but it's too sticky as a topping. There was (and still is at the time of my review) a 20% discount for checking in on Yelp, but it was not always accepted. One cashier said he'd never heard of it; another said it was meant to be used once per customer. read more

If you are considering buying a ticket to The Ice Cream Show....do it! This is one ticket you want to buy for a show. It is in a very scenic and convenient location by the Walking Bridge. (Just what you wanted if you are a runner after a nice, hot run over the bridge...ice cream!) First of all, you choose your base of vanilla or chocolate and then choose your toppings. Their menu even has suggestions of which toppings go with which base well. Then they throw your toppings and base into some sort of mixer . Finally, they throw into a homemade waffle bowl or cone of your choosing. By the way, the place has a great smell of ice cream and homemade waffles. It turns out to make some of the best ice cream I have ever had with the best waffle cone I have ever had. I'm a sucker for chocolate and had mine mixed with ....MORE chocolate as in dark chocolate. They also do coffee and shakes. The Ice Cream Show has a lot of outdoor seating but inside there are only a few tables. The most difficult part of The Ice Cream Show is that parking is a challenge. There is a lot close by but it is like $2 an hour. There is also a lot of construction going on. Make The Ice Cream Show part of your plans in Chattanooga despite the challenge of parking. read more
