Ottumwa, IA
Christian's Ice Cream isn't just a shop — it's a Ottumwa tradition. We started with a simple belief: ice cream should taste like someone actually cared about making it. Every batch is mixed by hand, every topping is chosen with care, and every customer is treated like family.
From classic vanilla bean to seasonal specials that keep you coming back, we pour passion into every scoop. Whether you're grabbing a quick cone after school or ordering a custom cake for a milestone, we're here to make your day a little sweeter.
