Whiteys Ice Cream

Closed??? WHAT!!! This has got to be a glitch or seasonal thing! This used to be my Go-​to spot for homemade ice cream when I lived in Iowa in 2003! Great location in town. near college campus and town. good for strolling with your ice cream, good for date nights, families, friends, or solo. Great flavors! Unique flavors, regular flavors. In addition to regular scoops in a cup or cone, they also have milkshakes! Great pricing.
On a side note: I have never like coffee or coffee ice cream until. I had it at Whitey’s!

Good place for ice cream, they have several flavors to choose from. They do have smurf flavored ice cream. They f$%^&* killed papa smurf. J/​K. But they have some fun flavors though.
I love ice cream, had many kinds of ice cream from all over and they are up there with some of the good ones.
Now that you have the scoop, go get a scoop.

Unofficial ice cream connoisseur here. After trying any and every ice cream shop wherever I travel and live, Whitey’s lives on as a top winner in ice cream. The Graham Central Station and Cup ‘O Joe Espresso are to die for.
If you really have a sweet tooth the Boston is delicious – a milkshake of whatever flavor you would like with a scoop of ice cream and hot fudge on top. Hard to find at other ice cream shops, but certainly a delicious treat.

Here’s the ingredients in Whitey’s… Milk, cream, liquid sugar, condensed skim milk, corn syrup, mono and diglcerides, guar gum, locust bean gum, & carrageenam. Now does that sound homemade?

Pretty solid ice cream shop, no complaints!

I thought the ice cream was just so-​so. A little too sweet and the chocolate was waxy — didn’t find it fulfilling really. I’m surprised it has so many fans. I think I’m spoiled by all the gourmet ice cream places in San Francisco.

I think this is what Heaven would be like… lots of white décor and an abundance of ice cream. I make a pilgrimage there every time I’m in Iowa City. The seasonal pumpkin pie ice cream and the regular Graham Central Station are my picks, but feel free to sample all the fun flavors. I’m glad it’s not closer, because I would have some serious health problems from a diet of ice cream.

mmmmm! Must stop here for an ice cream. Avoid the nearby chains.

MMMM ice cream! Everybody loves Whitey’s. Except the people who get wrapped up in the whole über-​Christian owners thing, but even those people admit they love the ice cream! It’s kinda like Chick-​fil-​a that way, but since my Midwestern manners preclude me from sharing opinions on anything besides food, I’m ay-​okay with both!
When I first moved to Iowa City, I ate a lot of Whitey’s. I was going there twice a week sometimes, it was awesome. Finally, all the giant milkshakes took their toll. I couldn’t eat one without getting sharp stabbing pains in my stomach for 12 hours or so. I then learned that super-​dense quart-​sized milkshakes should not be consumed more than once a year, even if you have an iron gut like I do. Was the 15 minutes of frozen bliss worth the night of agony? Yes. Yes it was. Whitey’s is that good.

The ice cream is excellent. The décor could use a little spice.

What a delightful place that immediately makes you think of homemade ice cream as soon as you bite in! The flavors are abundant, the shakes made from said flavors delicious and the atmosphere divine! Located near the ped mall, it’s the perfect spot to stop in and grab a quick dessert and walk
around down town.
Best spot in IC to grab ice cream hands down and always a crowd pleaser for out of town guests!

The ice cream here is super good. Also, I can get this thing called a boston. As most people know, in Iowa City, you can get a piece of pie in a milkshake at the Hamburg Inn. I didn’t think this level of decadence could be topped until I had a boston from Whitey’s. It’s a sundae on top of a milkshake. Let your mind wrap around that for a second then gather yourself and go there. It’ll be worth your while. I guarantee it.

Hands down the best ice cream in town. This place is an institution. Mississippi Mud is a classic fav or mine. Or be adventurous and grab a shake. I recently went for a shake with «Graham Central Station» and «Strawberry Cheesecake»…I think we all know how that went.

Really great ice cream! So many flavors to try, good prices (especially compared to Coldstone), plus it’s local! Staff is always really nice, and it always seems to hit the spot. Can’t wait to try a shake!

Their Cup-​o-​Joe ice cream is amazing!

Yummy! Had tiger paws ice cream and Kona coffee light shake. Kind of like Foster’s Freeze.

I stopped in this location one hot summer day. I always saw long lines and figured people were headed here simply because it’s ice cream and there aren’t really any other ice cream places nearby. I was in for a big surprise. The ice cream here is delicious! They make amazing shakes. You can select from a variety of ice creams and add in any number of mix-​ins. Customization is king here at Whiteys. I always try to make a stop here on my return trips to Iowa City. One of the best spots in town.

So far, I’ve tried Graham Central Station and Raspberry Chocolate Truffle. They were both fantastic. It’s a good thing Whitey’s is on the other side of the river because there is no such thing as moderation when it comes to good ice cream!

I always go for scoops of ice cream here although I’ve heard great things about the shakes and what not.
My favorite thing about Whitey’s is their creative and unique flavors.
The Graham Central Station flavor is something I dream about! It’s so good, I have no problems stopping in for a scoop in the middle of a cold, Iowa winter.

They have the best ice cream. If you love Ice cream, you’ll love whitey’s!
