| Name | Address |
| (1) Gelati Celesti | 8906 W Broad St # A (804) 346-0038 |
| Like
Crom, Gelati Celesti sits atop the ice cream mountain, a king of
kings laughing at the swarm of chains entering the market*. There is a reason why so many fine area restaurants
outsource their ice cream to Gelati for their dessert menus.
Best In Richmond by this . . . . . . . . . . . much Also, try Boyer's Ice Cream (5714 Patterson Avenue)...They use Gelati Celesti ice cream in their store! |
|
| (2) Ray's Italian Water Ice And Frozen Custard | 3039 Lauderdale Dr (804) 360-8135 8023 West Broad St |
| Best frozen custard in town (not quite at the level of Carl's in Fredericksburg, but it'll suffice). True Philadelphia style Italian ice is another specialty | |
| (3) Bev’s Homemade Ice Cream | 2911 West Cary St (804) 204-2387 |
| A mandatory stop before watching a movie at the Byrd. 2nd best traditional ice cream shop in Richmond. | |
| (4) DeLuca Gelato | 1362 Gaskins Rd (Gayton Crossing Shopping Center) (804) 741-3202 |
| Best bet for Italian style gelato and sorbet. Maybe, the classiest "ice cream" shop in town. | |
| (5) Club Car Ice Cream Desert Bar | 113 S Railroad Ave Ashland, VA (804) 798-5632 |
| They serve Garber's ice cream which is made in Winchester, Virginia. A lovely cone to watch the trains in Ashland. | |
| (6) Dairy Bar Restaurant | 1602 Roseneath Rd (804) 355-1937 |
| Best hot diner food with milkshake combination. | |
| * Lot of chain options in town as well (in order of my favorites): Rita's Ice; Haagen-Dazs ; Ben and Jerry's; Maggie Moos; Friendly's; Carvel ; Brusters; Baskin-Robbins; Cold Stone Creamery ; Dairy Queen | |
