I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM
We All Scream for Local Ice Cream!
It’s not summer without an ice cream cone, so that’s probably why July is National Ice Cream Month. There couldn’t be a better opportunity to share a few of our favorite places to get a scoop. Here are some of the best spots to enjoy a refreshing, creamy dessert beyond anything in the grocery store’s frozen aisle.
TAKE A BREAK
TWO ROOSTERS You won’t get flavors like this anywhere else. How many other ice cream shops do you know that serve blackberry hibiscus, strawberry and honey, or coffee bourbon? In addition to those “forever flavors,” Two Roosters also has a monthly rotating menu of new creations for visitors to try. Trust us when we say you’re in for unique and divine flavors. Visit TwoRoosters.com to find your nearest location and check out the complete list of flavors. FRESH FRESH Local Ice Cream lives up to its name by making its ice cream by hand every week with dairy from free-range, local cows. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a creamier cone than this. Like Two Roosters, FRESH regularly offers unique flavors on a monthly rotating menu. But they’ve also got plenty of favorites in stock if you’ve got a taste for butter pecan or cookie dough. Plan your visit by going to FreshLocalIceCream.com. AMORINO We have to admit that gelato is different from ice cream. But if you enjoy the Italian take on this frozen dessert, Amorino is a must-try. With its origins and flagship store in Paris, it’s not the hyper-local take of our other two favorites, but it is worth a trip. Amorino serves its creamy gelato in the shape of a flower, and the flavors run from spiced white chocolate to passionfruit. There are also other desserts, like macarons, on the menu. This gelato may be a little pricey, but it’s worth the splurge. Learn more at Amorino.com . Austin considers himself an ice cream fanatic, so please feel free to reach out if you have any favorite spots he might have missed. He’ll be more than happy to try your suggestions!
