You signed up for the Savvy Savings weekly email: Nothing says summer like a drippy, delicious ice cream cone. Except maybe a drippy, delicious ice cream clutched in the mitts of your flush-cheeked preschooler!
Consider it a newly declared national holiday -- go get an ice cream today! Chocolate dipped, sprinkles, banana split, cup or cone. Gelato, frozen custard, shaved ice, homemade, storebought. Just go!
Looking for the absolute best ice cream parlors near you? Being Savvy brings you the cream of the ice cream crop all over the continent! Look for:
Why no info on SF? We like ice cream too. If you are craving good ice cream in the city, there are lots of options. The Toy Boat in the Richmond is fantastic and there is a mechanical horse for the kids to ride. Also hard to beat Mitchell Brothers in the Mission.
It is a tad harder for the vegan family to run out and get some ice cream, but we do pretty well! In Dallas we like to go to Whole Foods to the frozen treats section and find the 'Soy Delicious' ice cream sandwiches. Now before you cringe, trust me on this, they are YUMMY! My fav is the mint sandwiched between organic, double chocolate chip cookies. The kids love to pick out their own flavor and then we eat them on the patio. This is an ice-cream treat you can feel good about giving your kiddos!
