eCreamery in Dundee is wonderful and unique… but a bit pricey. http://www.ecreamery.com/
Ted and Wally’s is another really good one- http://www.tedandwallys.com/
Petrows is great! Sort of an over-sized old-fashioned diner with a fantastic ice cream selection (quality, not lots of odd flavors). http://www.petrows.com/
And of course, the chains are always nice- Maggie Moo’s, Cold Stone Creamery, TCBY, Orange Leaf (one of my faves- buffet style, pay by the ounce), etc. Zestos is a nice option, like Dairy Queen, but more local flavor and a better ice cream mix.
For something a little different, try one of the old-fashioned soda fountains-
– Fairmont Mall- http://www.omahafairmont.com/about_soda_fountain.html
– Durham Museum- http://www.durhammuseum.org/experience/soda-fountain.aspx
– River House (in Plattsmouth) http://riverhousecafe.com/
– Springfield Drug http://www.springfielddrug.com/
To be honest- I have only been to the last three fountains on the list, and they are not really anything special as for the actual ice cream, but they offer an interesting experience, and good old-fashioned sodas and malts are a lot of fun!
I’ve been to all the other places mentioned, and would have a hard time pointing at one and saying ‘IT’ is the BEST in Omaha. I like the incredible sundae options at eCreamery, some of the interesting flavors at Ted and Wally’s, etc.
A few decades ago I would have said Goodrich hands down- banana split or Orange Casanova. The stores are a lot smaller now, and usually in Subways or something, and they offer a lot fewer choices and a lot less ambiance- but the actual ice cream is still good (but seems to be made by Kemps now). http://www.goodrichicecream.com/
A couple decades ago, it would have been Kone Korner in north Omaha- a really flavorful ice cream mix and generous portions for low costs. Small and fun place. There is a Zestos north of the old location that is still there that a lot of folk said was better than Kone Korner, but our family loved the Korner and still miss it. 🙁
