    Came here after RAGBRAI and had to come per recommendation from a friend! Good: - Huge portion sizes, maybe too much ice cream. - Fresh strawberry was my favorite flavor - moose track were okay but too much chocolate that it was overwhelming! - The waffle cone added a lot to the enjoyability! - Cool ambiance inside Bad: - It was so hot outside that the ice cream melted super fast - Fast service not a lot of people were in line on Saturday night - No indoor seating Overall glad we made the stop here and would try other flavors next time.

    The ice cream itself was good, but it was a little overpriced. There's no specialty cones either, and no indoor or outdoor seating, so you have to eat in the car. It's also a little unclear what topping options they had as well, and it's hard to see which ice cream you are ordering as there is just pictures and names of each ice cream on the wall rather than looking into the bins of ice cream yourself. That said, the ice cream was good and the staff was friendly and service was quick.

    I was visiting Iowa for a family emergency, and decided to stop by Whitey's. I've never been here because the drive through line was always long, but this time we went in. Granted, the line was still long but so worth it. I ordered a 2 dip of watermelon sherbet and praline pecan. I know that combination is weird, but I wanted something creamy and something fruity. The wait to get my ice cream was longer than expected, but just like the line the wait was worth it. Both flavors were so good in their own ways!! I would definitely come back even if there's a long wait!

    I come to Whitey's whenever I visit my family in Iowa and it does not disappoint. I love the drive-thru option - makes it a lot easier to make a long line more bearable! I've been getting the moose tracks ice cream on my most recent visits and it's the only ice cream I ever want to eat. The mini peanut butter cups are so good! They have handled covid protocols really well and only recently opened up their lobby to order inside.

    Whitey's was one of the first places I visited after arriving in Bettendorf from out of town. WOW. Truly some of the best ice cream I've ever had! It was hard to choose from all the delicious sounding flavors, but I ordered the mint chocolate cookie and a pup cup for my pup. It was absolutely amazing, and we really enjoyed the dog friendly patio! I'll definitely be back - honestly, I'd drive to Bettendorf just for Whitey's. It's that good.

    I always bring my out of town friends to try

    We stopped in when everyone needed some cool down deliciousness- found it! This place hit the spot…read moreand then some. The place is cute, quaint and very efficient. The 4 ladies working on a Saturday afternoon got a huge number of folks in and out quick, all while getting as many samples as we wanted! They had something like 20 flavors, some classic, many creative and all delicious! Our family got a variety from a strawberry lemon sorbet to a goat milk roasted cherry ( the show stopper) and a honey lavender, and one classic cookies and cream. All were really good and at appropriate prices! The kids/single scoops were under $4. In Seattle, they're all $6-7 now. This is better! They've got pints and gallons to go, and an adjacent candy shop for all your old school sugar needs! Back to the goat milk roasted cherry - this was really good! Unique, but not weirdly so. A little tart, sweet, roasty, and just plain good! You need to at least try a sample where you're here! A great spot and one you should go try!

    A great location for a sweet treat! They have a huge variety of flavors, from classics to more…read moreunique parings. I opted to try mint chocolate chip and blueberry and loved them both. The ice cream itself is rich, creamy, and not overpoweringly sweet. Despite it being a busy weekend evening, shop staff worked hard to keep the line moving and were incredibly helpful, offering flavor samples to anyone unsure what to choose. There's also seating outside the shop so you can savor your ice cream. Highly recommend stopping into this adorable shop for a scoop or a pint to go!
