Frozen Treats to Beat the Heat Hot days and long summer nights are the perfect time to try some of San Diego’s favorite frozen treats. Ice cream traditionalists love MooTime Creamery, a classic 50’s-themed ice cream parlor with timeless flavors. For families that can’t decide, make your own frozen yogurt creation at Besties Cool Treats in Liberty Station or try an ice cream “flight” at Hammond’s Gourmet Ice Cream or Portland-based Salt & Straw. Looking for something new? Check out Iceskimo for their popular shaved “snow,” Somi Somi for soft-serve in a fishshaped waffle cone, or iDessert for an impressive gelato indulgence made with dry ice. Belmont Park is a must for delicious pineapple Dole Whip. For the most outrageous, instagramable milkshakes and sundaes, visit Sugar Factory in Downtown’s Gaslamp Quarter or Creme & Sugar in Del Mar.
