Creative Ice Cream Shop Name Ideas

Ice cream is a classic treat for a reason. Who doesn’t love two scoops on a waffle cone on a summer day – or an ice cream cake to celebrate a birthday? Today, there are more ice cream varieties than ever before and a high level of demand for this confection.

If you want to give the ice cream business a go, you may already have a great concept – but are stuck on a name. A good ice cream shop name should be distinct, memorable, and provide at least a hint of what you are selling. Our list of more than 200 creative ice cream shop name ideas can help you get started with your brainstorming session.

Budget Branders provides high-quality disposable products to ice cream shops, food trucks, restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, and other businesses. Each of our promotional products, such as custom dessert cups, custom wax deli paper, custom napkins, and custom deli containers, can be printed with your ice cream shop’s name and logo. Reach out for a quote on our products, or to talk to our branding team about how we can help you.

What’s in a Name?

For some entrepreneurs, naming their business comes easily. Perhaps you’ve always dreamed of opening up an ice cream parlor, or you have a family name that you’ve always wanted to use. But even if you already have a name in mind for your ice cream shop, it’s still a good idea to take some time to do some brainstorming.

A good ice cream shop name should be unique and memorable. It should also convey something about your brand as a business – such as your commitment to high-quality ingredients or your sense of humor. It should also inform potential patrons of what to expect when they visit your shop – such that you are gluten-free or that you avoid major allergens.

So how can you come up with a good name for your ice cream shop? To start, you will want to write down your business’s mission statement and vision. You should also include details such as the type of ice cream that you will be offering, the vibes that you want to create, any adjectives that you’d use to describe the shop, and other key facts, such as family names or something unique about your location. For example, if you’re located in a college town, you might work in their mascot or something about the university into the name.

The goal of doing this is to think about words, phrases, and ideas that are potentially relevant to your ice cream shop. For example, if you offer lower-fat frozen yogurt, you might want to incorporate words related to health. On the other hand, if you will be selling more decadent frozen custard, you might list words that highlight just how rich (or even sinful!) your frozen confections are.

Before making any final decisions – or if you can’t seem to come up with a name – you should reach out to the community. This could be as simple as talking to friends, family, and business partners about potential names. You can also create a poll on social media to get even more input on potential names.

If you’re still stuck, you can try a restaurant name generator. These tools allow you to input a few keywords or terms, and come up with a variety of options. It may not give you the exact name that you want – but it may provide you with inspiration to continue brainstorming.

Once you have a few ideas for ice cream shop names, the next step is to make sure that they are not taken. You can run a few quick searches on Google, your state’s corporation database, and even the United States Patent and Trademark Office website. That way, you will be sure that you have a truly unique name, that you won’t confuse customers, and that you won’t find yourself dealing with legal issues!

Below, we have compiled a list of more than 200 creative ice cream shop names.

Budget Branders is the best! It was our first time ordering custom cups, so we had A LOT of questions. But Jamie addressed everything in a very timely fashion. Tons of proofs to make sure everything was perfect. 100% will be returning for the next order.

We found Budget Branders from a Google search after having endless problems with Webstaurant Store. I was a little apprehensive at first because their pricing seemed too good to be true, but now that our cups have arrived, I can assure anyone with similar thoughts that the product quality is excellent! When comparing them to the Solo brand cups we used to buy, I'd say that these from Budget Branders have higher quality printing and better clarity. Jamie was really great to work with and answered all my questions right away. She sent me sample photos of the product I was interested in, and sent a proof before finalizing my order to make sure the logo sizing and color was what we were hoping for. Jamie was also very honest about the extended 8-12 week lead time due to current supply chain issues, and I am happy to report that the cups arrived exactly 9 weeks after we placed our order (sooner than I was expecting!). We use 3 sizes of clear cups at our venue, and I know that when we run low on any of them, I'll be contacting Jamie again to buy more from Budget Branders!

Jamie and the rest of the Budget Branders team came through for us when we were in a real bind. The quality of the cups is great, the custom printing is perfect, and the product arrived in good condition. Top-shelf customer service, follow-through, and attention to detail has brought us back for more and I suggest the company to anyone that has a need for printed packaging.
