Ted & Wally's Ultra-Premium Ice Cream
Best Ice Cream in Omaha · NE
Old Market scoops churned in rock salt
Ted & Wally's has churned ultra-premium ice cream in Omaha's Old Market since 1986, using a vintage rock-salt-and-ice process to make small batches at 20% butterfat. The flavor board rotates constantly — from classic vanilla bean to adventurous specials — all made from scratch with all-natural ingredients.
A beloved Old Market fixture (with a second Benson shop), Ted & Wally's is the handmade, cash-friendly ice cream parlor generations of Omahans line up for on a summer night.
