Ted & Wally's Ultra-Premium Ice Cream

Family owned ice cream parlor in the old market area. The lines were pretty long, but moved rather quickly. We went around 3PM and the line was basically right at the front door. They have limited quantities of special ice cream so try to go there earlier than later. A few of their flavors ran out while I was eating my order in the dining area. Their signs also state that they have rotating flavors daily, not sure what the percentage is but worth multiple visits if you want to try new things. I got their Maple Latte and enjoyed it 👍🏽

I am nothing if not a cynic. Before our trip to Omaha a friend kept telling me we had to go to Ted & Wally’s.“Ok, ok,” I thought while mentally rolling my eyes. “I’m sure it’s not THAT good.”Well, if there’s such a thing as crow ice cream I would be eating it because this ice cream was THAT good.I got the keto Lemon and Chocolate Chip flavor. I’m suspicious of anything keto but the scooper explained it meant there wasn’t any extra sugar. I got it and it might now be my fave ice cream combo ever. No extra sugar was necessary in this creamy flavorful scoop.We went on a cold, rainy day in March so lines weren’t a problem.

Be prepared to pay premium prices for this premium ice cream! I went to the Old Market store, not the original flagship location. There was a line out the door of this small shop, but it moved quickly. I chose a single scoop on a sugar cone (a small, aka "regular"), caramel latte flavor. It was satisfying and delicious, with its 32% butterfat old-fashioned goodness. But it rang up at over $7.00! It's a favorite choice for big treat ice cream in Omaha for well-heeled locals and tourists alike. If this describes you, go for it and enjoy this traditional method (see salt and barrels in photos), all-the-fat ice cream.

Loved coming down to Ted and Wally’s tonight with the bestie to get two scoops of Ginger Ale ice cream in a waffle cone. Between the two of them, it was truly a memorable experience on a perfect night tonight. The ice cream was bursting with Ginger Ale flavour that I truly was taken aback by a little with how fresh it tasted while almost giving me the whole glass experience sans the effervescence. The waffle cone just added the perfect level of crunch and sweetness to the Ginger Ale ice cream that almost turned it into a ginger snap. Absolutely delicious! We can’t wait to go back for another round and enjoy this fantastic ice cream.

I was downtown and hungry for ice cream, so I tried Ted and Wally's. I arrived about 8:30 pm on a Monday evening and the line was out the door! This place is popular! After waiting on line for about 30 minutes it was finally my turn to order. I'm picky about ice cream, but several of the 20 or so flavors looked delicious! I wandered to try cinnamon, but they didn't know if it was gluten free, so instead I selected vanilla with a hot fudge topping. The vanilla was smooth and the fudge topping was warm and delicious. This is a fresh churned ice cream, so it has a softer consistently than most store-bought ice creams. Vanilla isn't my first choice of flavors, so I likely would have rated them higher if flavors other than vanilla and chocolate were gluten free.

This ice cream shop is great. The energy, the vibe, the aesthetic is everything you’d want from a scratch ice cream shop. Probably about 12-15 flavor options daily. My only gripe is it is expensive. For a sundae and a single scoop cone we paid $15, which is a little steep for ice cream, but it was very good so I would come back! This place gets crowded fast. We just beat the line so be prepared to wait. Staff is wonderful!

Ted and Wally’s is a fun name serving up some darn good ice-cream. I thought it was premium but ultra-premium? It was good and it deserves a 5 star review. We stopped in after I took grandma to the park down the way. She loves to play on the jungle gym, fight with the kids and hide around corners when she goes potty in her diaper. She also works up an apatite for ice-cream so we were in luck. The place is super cool inside, fun to see how it’s made and the flavors are unique and fun. Super creamy ice-cream but not heavy, if that’s possible. Go get ya some and let them know granny sent ya.

Ice cream shop that offers delicious ice cream, with a wide range of flavors to choose from. Must try Dat and walnut ice cream and vegan strawberry lemon ice cream. The vegan ice cream was delicious yet slightly grainy as the ice cream base was coconut cream, yet it's worth a try!Dietary restrictions: Vegan option available

If you like ice cream, eat here. One more time for those in doubt- if you sorta, kinda, like or love iced cream, eat here! :D If for any reason you think I’m wrong and this isn’t some of the tastiest, creamiest, deliciousiest ice cream you’ve had, let me know in the comments. *I don’t think there’s a comments section I just hear that phrase a lot and thought I’d get on board with saying it.

I tried “Quit your job and eat chocolate” and “Brown sugar Espresso bean” ice cream which were 2 of the day’s flavors. They both were very creamy. The service is very professional and the staff who helped us is so knowledgeable about the flavors. She patiently explained to us about what they were. Thank you so much. Ice-cream lovers must try!

The best vanilla bean ice cream I have ever tasted. The line was long, but the wait itself was short. I enjoyed the ice cream with a waffle cone and it was perfect. The waffle cone tasted fresh and like it was made in-house. The employees were nice and accommodating. Although the environment was busy, service was not lacking. Unfortunately I am not from here. Otherwise this would be my go to place for ice cream.

The only ice cream shop you must visit when in Omaha is Ted & Wally’s! This old-fashion, craft-churned, made-from-scratch ice cream shop is a quaint shop with booths and tables inside providing plenty of seating. There are plenty of daily ice creams that are created right before your very eyes. My personal favorite is the Dutch Chocolate however Mint Chocolate Chip is a close second. A pleasant surprise is that they also offer vegan and gluten-free options. It’s a popular place to go, so lots of people however the line kept moving and before we knew it, it was our turn. The staff are great about providing samples, so if you are unsure about the flavor, just ask for a sample! They also offer floats, sundaes and shakes. Great location, and I’m sure as the summer months are right around the corner more seating may be available also outside? Definitely a sweet treat after walking around in The Old Market.

Cute old fashioned ice cream shop. The family really enjoyed their ice cream. They had a list of daily flavors and some mix ins as well so everyone got something they liked. The line was out the door and into the parking lot so you know it's good. 💕The women's bathroom door does not lock! Please fix that!!

I had the Dutch chocolate. The butterfat content today is so high it is leaving an oily residue all over my lips and roof of my mouth. The flavor is great but the oily film not so much.My husband had the Omaha Bakery pumpkin bar and it was delicious and he had the Purple yam jam which has a light flavor but also an oily residue. Just a 3 star ice cream day today.

Just yum!!!!! The vanilla bean and Dutch chocolate ice cream were divine! Also tried the strawberry banana and green apple. Green apple had a weird aftertaste. But the strawberry banana was delicious. Great spot with a nice hometown feel. Polite and friendly staff.

I stopped in again and it is just as good as ever! Keep it up!Ted & Wally's is some of the best ice cream I have had anywhere, ever. It is truly homemade and creamier than most others. They have different flavors depending on when you go, and they source local as much as possible, and the end product shows. This time I tried the mint chip, peach made with goat cheese, apple cider sorbet, and standard vanilla. Whenever I am in Omaha I make sure to stop by.

Very good ice cream. I would say it's a little creamier and richer than your average kemps. They have many unique flavors that rotate. There was a lot of different kinds of chocolate, had a spicy one and few Easter themed ones.A few spots for parking. They allow free samples so can at least try some ones you wouldn't get. Price is on point for a tourist spot so a little higher than DQ but you are paying for the historical value. Fun spot to visit.

Stopped in twice to indulge my sweet tooth while in Omaha. It was probably the best peaches and cream I've had! Delicious! 🍦

Great place to cool off on a hot summer day in Omaha! Ted & Wally’s is serving up some made from scratch ice cream the old fashioned way, using locally sourced, fresh ingredients! As you wait in line, you can see the ice cream being churned in the old machines. Along with some traditional flavors, there are many unique ones to choose from, including the peanuts and coke which was really tasty! This is a must stop while visiting downtown Omaha.

The atmosphere of the parlour is casual. There are cool things like the machines used to churn the ice cream adjacent to the checkout counter. There are also a few benches and tables for seating (can be full especially on weekend evenings). They have a variety of flavours (some are even vegan!).The 2 main draw backs are the price point is fairly steep (even for ‘ultra-premium’) and no on-site parking. Parking can be hard to find on weekends.I’ve been here numerous times and would recommend for a special occasion.

We went there once and loved their ice cream! The 20% butterfat makes the ice cream taste really good. The “Flavors of the day” were a little different than traditional flavors such as garlic etc. but we went with the simple ones i.e. Vanilla Bean and Chocolate, and they were just too good! The staff was very friendly and allowed us to taste some different flavors before deciding our final picks. Highly recommend this place!

Delicious ice cream! Perfect consistency. The line moves fast, but plenty of time to decide what you want before you order. We stop in every time we visit Omaha. It would be fun to see a few inventive/local ingredients mixed in.

The pink peppercorn flavor is very unique and amazing. The julian’s spotted pony is good too. Their ice cream uses good ingredients and have very creamy texture. The chocolate flavor has depth to it.

My husband and I got ice cream for the first time here tonight. It made us realize what good ice cream we’ve had at other places on our visits to other cities. This ice cream was horrible. The maple pecan coffee tasted like cinnamon only. The other flavors we got were flavorless. If you have never been to the store, I would just avoid it all together. We wanted to like it, but it made us realize that we’ve had pretty terrific ice cream in other cities throughout the United States and this was not among them.

THEY HAVE OUZO BLACK LICORICE ICE CREAM!!! It’s so hard to find black licorice ice cream and it did not disappoint. Smooth and full of flavor. This made my day.

We stopped by here on a vacation, and were pleasantly surprised with the authenticity of the ice cream, and wide variety of flavors! The building itself was instagram worthy/ready. The neon light filled the small space and gave the building a nice aesthetic. Overall a hidden gem in Omaha.

This place is awesome! The ice cream is great! It's made from scratch in-house, with rock salt and ice, and it's super creamy, due to the high percentage (20%) of butterfat they use! They have really good flavors too! Some are unique, but some are more traditional, for the less adventurous. I got two scoops: the first was batman chocolate, which was dark chocolate and blueberry, and the second was lemon verbena butterscotch! Both were excellent!
