Whitey's Ice Cream

I arrived at Whitey’s Ice Cream with rather modest expectations, and I am forced to admit that the offerings were… tolerable. The flavors were competent, if unremarkable, and the service, while not offensive, suggested an enthusiasm I found almost excessive. The establishment’s charm is quaint, though one cannot help but notice its decidedly provincial nature. I shall not rush to return, yet I concede that those in want of ice cream might find it adequate.

I was visiting from UK and was recommended to try out this place, and I was not disappointed. We got the Reese’s ice cream and chocolate chip ice cream and it was scrumptious. A small looks so big but I managed to finish it all. It’s soft and melts beautifully in your mouth. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the place looked really clean. There is seating outside and we sat out there as the weather was decent. I will come back here again.

When you need a cup o joe in ice cream form... Whitey's has been on my list to visit for years and I've seen many online comments saying that if you are in the Quad Cities, you need to try it out. Well, after an incredibly long day, ice cream sounded good before I hit the interstate home. Luckily there was one along the way and I pulled over for some sugary goodness. I walked in and was instantly greeted by stark white and the smell of cleaner. This place was clinically white and smelled like a recently cleaned hospital room. I quickly got in line and ordered a 2 dip cup of joe espresso in a waffle cone. The guy making my cone actually dropped the entire cone into the bucket and started fresh. I told him that there was no worries. He quickly whipped up a new one and I got to snacking on

I actually came because my work gave me a voucher for a free milkshake. I'm new to the area so I've never experienced Whitey's before. I wasn't really feeling a milkshake so I got a single scoop of the seasonal Super Blueberry Cheesecake flavor on a waffle cone. Glad I only got one because the servings are huge! I also ordered my dog a doggie bowl which is one scoop of vanilla plus a dog treat. I believe they also have the normal spray of whipped cream for free if you choose to go that route. My dog is spoiled. The staff is super friendly, the prices are more than fair, the ice cream is delicious, and there's seating outside on benches. All in all, a great first visit to Whitey's! Looking forward to actually trying a milkshake next time! I highly recommend their seasonal flavors!

This is my childhood. So many memories. Nothing has changed the flavors are still the same and I appreciate that. Always look forward to going when I come home.
