Mitchell's Ice Cream (Uptown Shop) — Restaurant in Cleveland

Clean, friendly, great variety of flavors. Have vegan, no added sugar, non dairy sorbet, and yogurt alternatives. Have shakes, sundaes, and scoops. Waffle cones are made in house so it always smells amazing in there! They also sell pints, quarts, and ice cream cakes/pies in a grab and go section (and offer the sale of dry ice to keep those items frozen!). You can also buy cones to make your own cone at home from your quart which I think is genius.

Seating inside and outside in good weather. Parking available with free one hour in lot or metered street parking. They offer free samples (stopped during early COVID).

My only complaint is their queue organization. They have bars installed in the floors to create orderly lines but then they help people somewhat out of order. So the first person is ordering multiple things, the person behind them orders one quick cone and now is being shuttled past the first person to pay. This would be fine except the metal barriers don't provide a lot of room to pass people. Especially because people are often there in groups or with kids and not paying attention to traffic behind them. I've ended up being brushed up against or having to shimmy past people. And in the winter with bulky jackets and during COVID it just always makes me uncomfortable. It's chaotic and it makes it hard if you're there with a stroller or mobility aid (walker, wheelchair) because you become in the way. I sometimes order for a group because others are anxious about standing in the queue and...

I mean this ice cream is not a joke. The salted Carmel could easily help in the fight on terror. I have almost zero doubt if you captured a terrorist, let them taste just a dab of the salted Carmel, took it away, then promised a pint of that nectar from heaven they would spill the beans. I honestly felt like someone threw a party on my taste buds. I assume the mana from heaven in the Old Testament was salted Carmel from this place. I found my body moving in strange ways. I thought I was having a seizure but I realized it was my primal instincts awakening from the first taste. Boom Shaka laka.

Great atmosphere as well. Me and the friendlguy behind the counter made eye contact as I was in a state of pure bliss and he gave me a friendly nod almost saying “your okay friend what you are experiencing is real. You have not ascended into the third heaven” I may have made that part up but you get...

Lots of fun and exciting flavors to try! Coming from New England, I can be pretty picky about local ice cream shops, and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly, the ice cream isn't all that cheap but you do get a large portion size for your money. A "single scoop" is really all you need for a good amount of ice cream. I feel like the flavors that have chocolate pieces in them are a little bit heavy handed with how many pieces there are (I'd personally prefer the ratio to be a little more ice cream than pieces) but not to the extent that it isn't still enjoyable. There are a few tables inside and outside if you want to sit and eat. This is set away from roads in a pedestrian mall area, and not super close to a parking lot, so you made need a bit of walking to...
