In this context, by saying "ice cream stop", the character is announcing that him and his friends should stop to get ice cream. A "stop" can be a place where one might take a break and "stop" to get something, like a convenience store, food stand, etc., so an "ice cream stop" as a noun can also refer to a place where you can get ice cream.
