Anna Marie’s Ice Cream

This unassuming random strip mall ice cream shop is actually fantastic. The interior is really nothing outstanding, but simple in the way it’s very inviting. The young girl behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. She allowed us to taste as many flavors as we wanted before choosing.
They have a number of kid options, both to entertain the kid and also to satisfy them. The flavors were all very good and some were better than others. The strawberry lemon was a fresh mixture of the two fruits and offered a refreshing mix that only fresh fruit can. The other highlight is that they make all their waffle cones in house and you can taste the difference.
This is definitely a place we will continue to visit during the summer and look forward to our next visit.

This place is literal heaven. They make their waffle cones, and lord, they are delicious. The flavors aren’t too extravagant; they do have others besides the basic: vanilla, chocolate, cookie dough, etc. but it isn’t some gourmet lemon-​basil sorbet you’d find at Häagen-​Dazs. However, it suits the average person’s needs, which is perfect.
They also have amazing ice cream cake, and ice cream in containers, so you can take them home and eat as much as one’s heart desires.

It’s actually decently hard to find good ice cream in a frozen custard town, and Anna Marie’s is great! I had black raspberry chip and brownie scoops, both were creamy and flavorful. The waffle cones are made while you wait and are light, crispy and amazing. I think the best bite may have even been the last one, because it was mostly buttery cone, whereas sometimes when the icecream is gone it’s tempting to chuck the rest. Try it!

The Waffle Cones here are FANTASTIC! They make them right in front of you on a waffle iron, and then wrap them around a mold to cool. I am a succor for dreamsicles, so I got some of the orange and vanilla together in a cone. The ice cream is every bit as good as the cones. Definitely coming back here with my kids!

This Saturday night 8:00 pm… ZERO customers at Anna marie’s. Then drove by the ice cream place on Manchester rd just west of Clarkson rd. 30 – 40 cars in the parking lot 20 – 30 people at the window and 10+ cars in the drive thru. Came back by at 9:15 pm and still just as busy with lightning, rain and thunder rolling thru. Went by Anna Marie’s again… two cars and five customers. I am not a big fan of eating ice cream (especially soft serve), but the one time we visited Anna Maries the quality of their hard ice cream was sub par and the two girls serving the boring choices of all the same flavors in the grocery store didn’t know a single thing about how the «home made» icecream was made. When I asked what kind of batch machine they used… huh? When I asked what percent butter fat is the icecream… huh «We just work here, the owners come in and make the icecream during the day, I am sure they would know». I understand my interest in «how» things are made is a bit unusual… but this place isn’t just a Dairy Queen… or is it?

This place has the very best waffle cone I have ever had! Thin, yet crispy, sturdy, yet disintegrates in your mouth. However, people come for the ice cream. The cone is just a tasty way to get it to your belly!
I had that fabulously tasty waffle cone piled high with 2 flavors, Chocolate Almond marshmallow and chocolate banana chunk. The chocolate flavors were true and pronounced, but the ice cream lacked the tongue coating richness that I was looking for. The additives… i.e. almonds, marshmallows, and bananas were just a slight accent. Not enough of a punch.
The ice cream was good, with the potential for great, not yet realized. But on a pleasant 4^th of July, after a long bike ride on the Katy trail… this treat was A-​OK

This was good ice cream. We liked it much better than Cold Stone (it closed) or Dairy Queen. Only negative: it’s expensive for a family, especially considering the amount you get for the price.

I’d skip over quite a few ice cream places to get here. We had a cinnamon praline sundae and a banana malt. The ice cream was absurdly creamy in a «what the fuck, I just lost 10 pounds I deserve this» absurd. What does that mean? I have no clue.
It’s a trek for many, for sure, so I probably wouldn’t skip over Serendipity for this but if you’re remotely close, do check it out.
I… actually think I like this place over Serendipity…

Top notch ice cream that is made on premises. They also make a wonderful array of sundaes, etc… and will make a milk shake out of any of the flavors they currently have (which roll from season to season — for example, pumpkin ice cream around Halloween). Everything is made on the premises!
It’s the perfect place for an after-​game/​recital/​??? treat. Or just a great finish to a perfect summer day. Or a summer treat in the middle of winter (just to remind that you summer will come back eventually).
Overall, the quality beats the chains like Cold Stone Creamery or Oberweis … plus it is owned by two local Wildwood residents, so the money you spend here stays in St. Louis!
The only negative I can state about the place is that they hire local teens to help run the place and, well, they sometimes act like teenagers. But they do try and, for the most part, are trained to be polite.
