Great little spot with lots of options. Dairy free was on point, I've been looking for a place that was legit, this is it!

The blue goo and strawberry goo twisted together are the best flavor combinations. They have some other stuff too including milkshakes. The orange goo is good too. read more

Hi from a frequent Boston visitor to Parma. Honey Hut sadly doesn't have nondairy flavors as far as I know so I walked the extra quarter mile here. The vanilla oatmilk and mango sorbet didn't disappoint. read more

Zero Zest - Waffle cone with vanilla and mango flavors - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Parma, Ohio

The wife and I took a nostalgic trip to the Zero Zest the other day. WOW!!!! It has not changed in almost 20 years. We used to live in walking distance and would go often. We used to take our dog for a kiddie cone before "pup cups" were a thing. The Zero Zest is still the best high quality soft serve stand in the area. The service was quick and the employees were friendly. The soft serve ice cream is delicious and the portions are not stingy. I had vanilla in a sugar cone with butterscotch dip. It was second to none. It was great to see prices that were still reasonable too. read more

If I could give negative I most certainly would. The workers are the laziest people I have ever seen. They give zero effort and do not care what the quality of they serve. They cannot manage more than 2 in line.. they can't remember who gets what. Person who took my order had no idea what I asked for directly from menu- she said we don't make those. Really? It's on the emu and we have gotten it before. Prices are about the only thing going for this place. read more

Best ice cream stand on State Road in Parma!! It's a nice little blast from the past and such a cute ice cream stand. Besides the delicious ice cream love all the open air about it to sit on a picnic table to share stories with family while enjoying your ice cream. read more

Best place in Parma for ice cream. It has an endless amount of good flavors. Zero Zest always seems to have a long line at the window. For sure it's worth waiting awhile. They have mix ins and lots of non dairy selections. A specialty here is the Avalanche. It mixes in candy or fruit with any ice cream. There's almost unlimited combinations you can make. It's about $5 for a medium cup. They have a vegan vanilla ice cream flavor that can also be used. It's made with almond milk. This place is very good for vegans and they also have a few sorbets. It always has long lines but they are fast. It used to be just cash only. They now accept credit cards so they have slightly updated. read more

Zero Zest - Hawaiian Avalanche With Almond Milk - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Parma, Ohio

Zero Zest is an underrated ice cream shop that is so worth a try! They have an extensive menu that includes non-dairy treat options. Their sundaes are huge and packed with delicious toppings! Service has always been quick and pleasant in my experience. They also provide outdoor seating options nearby beautiful flowers. read more

Ice cream was good, service was subpar. The girl was rude, she asked for whose next and two lines had been in operation I knew I was next so I moved forward and the girl kind of scowled so I just said "I really was next" smiling and kinda trying to make light, when she rudely said well usually we only have one line. I mistakenly took the man in front of me who was at the counter as someone who was ordering when he stood there 3 mins he was actually just picking his food up so honest mistake on my part but the little teeny bopper was the problem with this generation. I'd return though read more

Zero Zest is the best! We love coming here and have been for over 20 years. They have such great ice cream and a wide variety, are so friendly, and we cannot get over the constant nostalgia. We knew the previous owner (Lucy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUOYb96V8p8) but the new owners are keeping the vibes alive! read more

Zero zest is one of our favorite places to go too! Ice cream is great and not over priced!

Zero Zest - Cherry dipped cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Parma, Ohio

I have loved this place since I was a kid. Is it nostalgia? Maybe a bit but honestly, there's a reason it's popular - just look at the lines during the summer. It's mostly a soft serve place with loads of cone options, avalanches (think dairy queen blizzard but better), shakes, etc. My go-to has been and will always be a chocolate brownie avalanche. Chocolate soft serve with delicious brownies, I always ask that they layer instead of mixing...the brownie pieces are larger and so so much better. But honestly I've sampled a decent chunk of the menu and have never been dissatisfied, there's something for everyone. They now have small cups for the avalanches and I find that to be more than enough. At under $4 you can't beat it. Great on hot days or just when you have a craving. Be sure to read the fact of the day located to the left of the left window, they're always interesting! read more

Though in plain sight, it's a hidden treasure for those who don't/can't have dairy. On top of regular dairy ice cream treats, they offer Silk almond milk ice cream products. I ordered the butterfinger avalanche with almond milk. Delicious! Never thought I would be able to go somewhere and have a " DQ blizzard" styled treat again. The ice cream was a normal consistency of regular ice cream where sometime things with almond milk are a little watery. And they are far from skimpy with the toppings. I had a lot of butterfinger in every bite. It never made it home! Highly recommended. Especially for those tired of "plain Jane" ice cream because of allergies. read more

New to the neighborhood and was recommended to try Zero Zest which I was told is under new management. I was impressed when I saw they had vegan ice cream, so I had to give it a try. The service was great. With Zero Zest being on the same street as another local ice cream competitor that gets a lot of praise I am glad to say that Zero Zest gives them a run for their money. They have some similarities, but what makes Zero Zest is their unique styles of ice cream and variety. I look forward to coming back read more

Good ice cream. Good prices. Slow service. SLLOOOOOOOOOWWW. Glacial. If standing in a line that never moves for 15 or 20 minutes is your thing, then this is the place for you.. read more

My favorite ice cream shop in Parma! Soooo many options, there's definitely something for everyone. Their soft serve is amazing. They have tons of flavor burst options for soft serve. They have sorbet and also vegan options as well. There's a small food menu that includes hot dogs and a few other things. The outdoor seating area is small. My only complaint is that they don't have napkins readily available near the windows. And then they only give you one tiny napkin each time you ask which is a pain when you're with kids who tend to make a mess lol. But otherwise this place is our go to every single time! read more

Their ice cream has never disappointed and they have very friendly service! I highly recommend this neighborhood favorite.

Large avalanche comes half empty in a smallish cup. Seems pretty cheap of them. Won't be coming back. read more

Zero Zest - "large" avalanche. Medium or small cup at DQ that comes half empty. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Parma, Ohio

I've been coming to zero zest since I was a child and I love it. The ice cream is so delicious and they have so much variety. It's a little shop with outdoor seating. They have slushies, dipped cones, banana split, sundaes , smoothies and so much more for a affordable price. They are in the heart of Ukrainian village on State Road and it's very diverse. Don't let the lines discouraged you from stopping by the service is fast and very friendly. read more

Zero Zest - Malts - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Parma, Ohio

Went for the almond milk ice cream soft serve! I was very impressed. It was creamy and delicious. Quick service too, will be back.

Zero Zest is a cute little ice cream shop that I've been patronizing since I moved to Parma in the 4th grade. I've gone through phases of ordering slush floats, turtle sundaes, sprinkle cones and dip cones but nothing beats their strawberry shortcake sundae. A few years ago the shop began accepting credit cards which was an added convenience. I also appreciate how the shop supports the community, opening early on the day of the Ukrainian parade and making donations to local festivals. There are only a few outdoor picnic tables available for seating so guests sit on wooden barracks that line the sidewalk. The line is often long but well worth the wait! read more

Stopped by here for the first time-we have drove past it like a million times. I am so glad that we finally decided to stop and try it! They have a really great soft serve. I got an avalanche, which is similar to a blizzard, but waaaaay better. Don't get me wrong, I love the DQ, but this avalanche treat was loaded with all the yummies, came at a fraction of the price, and was much larger that what I would have received at DQ. The flavors were really good-nice consistency, no iciness or freezer burn. Another really really great thing-they offer non dairy soft serve! An almond milk version, which made my boyfriend so happy! He got a Blackberry milkshake which was tasty as well. We will definitely be making another stop here soon. I wish we had tried them out sooner, we could have been enjoying their goodness for years! Learn from our error and don't delay, hurry over to Zero Zest today! read more

Really great dairy free options! They have dairy free soft serve and you can get just about any of their specialty items from there. Such a treat! read more

Great local ice cream spot in Parma... Their Butter Pecan Twist soft serve and the variety of sundaes they offer is great!!

I will start by saying I prefer to support small local businesses like Zero Zest. I went with my daughter on a Friday night at 9:40PM to get a shake and a cone for her. We waited a minute or so with 3 women in front of us. As we walked by the two girls working inside did see us. After the minute they turned off their lights and did not say anything. They were supposed to be open until 10PM. It was rude and of course a good reason to never go back. If they needed to close early for some reason then treat people like humans and explain why. read more

This place has rave reviews and that is all good maybe I am just picky when it comes to ice cream. When I roll up to a roadside staple such as zero zest my bar is lowered when compared to "gourmet" competitors like Mitchell's or Sweet Moses (which you must experience when you feel the need for ice cream heaven). However, lowered bar is sent crashing to the ground when the cardinal sin of blizzard or concrete making is committed. For goodness sakes spread the topping of choice throughout the dessert. Nothing is worse than wrapping up your blizzard or whatever they call it there and just eating spoonfuls of plain ole vanilla ice cream. I've now given them multiple opportunities and now it's all over for them. I will go elsewhere for my flurry fix. read more

Lots of ice cream places in the area.. thought I would stop there while taking my mom out. Ice cream was nothing special.. it was not bad but not great either.. just meh.. why the one star then? going out to eat or getting an ice cream is more than the actual meal or ice cream.. person who took my order and as I paid for the order offered not one iota of appreciation of thanks for my business, like she was expecting me to thank her for the honor of having the ice cream, very off-putting experience. Like I said, lots of ice cream places in the area. read more

Awesome ice cream place with tons of variety. Been coming here for years. Recently, I got an Oreo avalanche which could have had more toppings in it. Avalanche sampler looked awesome, you pick 3 toppings and it's layered with ice cream. Overall great place! read more

I have been coming here since I was a little kid and it is still my favorite place to get soft serve ice cream today!

I love this place. Been here when I was a kid some 40 yrs ago and took my daughter here last week. Nothing has changed and that's a good thing. They still do the eyes by request and you can do anything more Parma than Zero Zest. Honey who? read more
