ted & wally's ice cream shop

yum. i like ted & wally's. the ice cream is good, but it is a good idea to get a sample before you commit to anything. some flavors are really awesome and some, not so much. just try it before you buy it! the coffee is good as well. as others have mentioned, the seating is extremely sparse and it is old market pricey. but, you do get quite a bit of ice cream packed into your waffle cone. i've not had any problems with the staff being rude but like many other places, it is a good idea to go when it is less busy.

love their homemade ice cream!

meh.. can we please take ted & wally's off of the pedestal that omahans have put it on?! it's okay. just okay. just because they make the ice cream themselves and it is located in the old market does not automatically make it great.

flavors are imaginative, but then, they have to be when you're paying for two scoops what an entire half gallon of premium ice cream would cost you at the grocery store.

parking is awful.

lines can be long and employees bark at customers when the lines are long. it seems their solution to long lines is to treat their customers like idiots and publicly berate them. if they don't have the patience for a endless line of distracted customers, then they should probably find another line of work.

seating is scant.

mostly it's just average. some flavors are good, some are okay, and some are bad. is it worth the old market parking and crowds and the elevated cost? i think not.

i liked it but i some flavors are a big miss. they experiment a lot, just ask for a taste before you commit.

simple & delicious everytime. i am very finicky when it comes to ice-cream. i am also very simple. i always order the same thing: double-espresso served with one scoop of vanilla ice-cream (in the same serving dish). i believe this has a special name but i don’t remember what it is called. it is a common combination in central-europe where i learned about it.

this fusion of flavors is amazing at their place. their vanilla has real vanilla pieces in their ice-cream. their espresso machine was very good at delivering a terrific, strong, full-flavored double shot. mmmm. this combination is vital on a friday afternoon to help me get re-engergized. it always help.

i highly recommend this place. my co-workers and i always stop by during our lunch break after enjoying a meal at “blue” which is just a block away. a true treasure in downtown omaha.

enjoy!

no vegan ice cream!. total bummer. why are they 3rd on the list of vegan-friendly restaurants when they have no vegan ice cream when i've visited their restaurant? giant disappointment!

we’ve been in omaha since november and i can’t believe i haven’t made it to ted & wally’s before now. located in old market, ted & wally’s premium homemade ice cream offers delicious ice cream and most importantly, at least one of the daily varieties is vegan. what dairy allergy? enjoying vegan vanilla ice cream at ted & wally’s ice cream. coming from a mom of a boy who has a dairy allergy, this is exciting news. we can now go as a family into an ice cream parlor and order ice cream for both of our boys. woo-hoo! so, after a trip downtown this past weekend, the boys and i headed over for what i told them was going to be a surprise. it did not disappoint. from the eclectic artwork and bright interior to the helpful staff and nice combination of unusual and traditional ice cream flavors, ted & wally’s was a wonderful treat. the vegan flavor of the day was vanilla. my youngest got chocolate and i ordered the thai tea ice cream. del

tradition. ted & wally's has been a tradition for my family for years. we always come and get ice cream when in the area, real ice cream. delicious! best in omaha, that is for sure.

great treat!. great flavors and staff. chocolate chuck in a sugar cone, yum!

tasty ice cream!. we were in omaha for a family reunion and came across this fun ice cream shop with really good ice cream. i would like to go back and try the interesting flavors. they have specialty flavors plus toppings too. my daughter enjoyed the rice crispy treat ice cream and the schmitty's was good too (malted chocolate with coconut). the place was packed on a thursday night.

so good. great ice cream, just like grandma made. not alot of seating though.

sincere and worth every penny. i don't know what it is about cold weather that makes me want to go downtown and get ice-cream, but every time it snows i have to find this place (and fight for parking) and treat myself to something delicious.

the ice cream at ted and walleys is not always perfectly smooth, in fact i occasionally get a small ice chip, but the experience is never bad. it reminds me of the ice-cream i ate at church as a child. you can taste good intentions and positive feelings. it's not super fancy and snooty acting, the staff are always 150% happy and helpful in their suggestions. in fact, ive never seen any of those guys ever frown. when you walk in, they ask you how you are and talk to you like a friend, not a client. this is missing in some of the other newer spots downtown. you can buy fancy machines and displays, but you can't buy heart. ted and walleys has miles and miles of heart.

really?. i cannot understand why anyone would prefer maggie moo's over ted & wally's. granted, the staff is young & surly (hey, anyone else remember when they were 19 years old), but the quality and flavor choices for the ice cream are fantastic! if you really need to avoid the hipster aspect of t&w's, just order at the counter and walk out. my wife and i get a pint or two to go from ted & wally's every week; i just wish i could make that pint last longer than the night i buy it!


they're local, they're fresh, they're inventive, they're great. you will not find a better ice cream experience in omaha.

without a doubt the best ice cream you can find. magie & csc better hope they never expand.

love, love, love this downtown original! try some the unusual flavors: jagermeister choc chip was interesting, guinness is yummy!
