Support Small: Our Favorite Ice Cream Shops

HOME LIVING | Support Small Our Favorite Ice Cream ShopsBy Amber Bouthot

You may have noticed: our regional ice cream options have really ramped up the past few years. No longer are we left with only national chains to satisfy our sweet tooth. Locally-owned ice cream shops offering more upscale flavors and experiences is a trend we can get on board with. Here are some of our faves.

Jebi’s Ice Cream Shoppe, Roanoke

https://www.facebook.com/jebisicecreamshoppe The newest addition to our regional ice cream offerings, Jebi’s Ice Cream Shoppe serves 32 flavors of the Chocolate Shoppe super premium brand hard dipped ice cream, which includes dairy-free, gluten-free, and no sugar added flavors. The menu includes cups, cones, flights, shakes, malts, floats, and sundaes. Plus, their shoppe is super cute and located at the mouth of Roanoke’s darling Main Street corridor.

Sweet Sanity Ice Cream, Huntertown

https://www.facebook.com/sweetsanityicecreambar/ Located on the main drag of Huntertown, Sweet Sanity Ice Cream offers 24 flavors of Hershey’s hand dipped ice cream, dairy free Dole Whips, Hawaiian shaved ice, and twist soft serve, as well as 30+ toppings. It also features an adorable patio seating area, providing the perfect summer evening hang out spot.

Zesto Ice Cream, Fort Wayne

https://www.facebook.com/Zesto-Ice-Cream-260426534007227 For many, the opening of Zesto Ice Cream on Broadway just south of downtown Fort Wayne, marks the official beginning of summer. It has been serving the community for more than 50 years and has been owned by the same family the last 35! Zesto has several locations throughout the city, but the Broadway location is an ice cream fan fave.

Just Cream – Ice Cream Boutique, Fort Wayne

https://www.facebook.com/icecreamboutiqueFW/ Just Cream has a few claims to fame, including bubble cones, ice cream flights, and extreme shakes — the latter being just that: EXTREME. Imagine a huge tumbler full of ice cream and then crammed with extra goodies like candy, cookies, and more. This northside gem has quickly become a favorite gathering place for youth sports teams, birthday parties, and more.

Brooklyn Pints Microcreamery, Fort Wayne

https://www.facebook.com/ Brooklynpintsmicrocreamery Brooklyn Pints is a brand-new small business ice cream shop making creamy, delicious flavors completely from scratch. They have vegan options, as well. Visit them at their location in the West Central Neighborhood or at their ice cream cart at local farmer’s markets.

Moo-Over, Columbia City

https://www.facebook.com/mooover2020 Moo-over is plant-based ice creme. Ice Creme is made from scratch and is always gluten/dairy/egg/peanut free. They strive to serve those with allergies or those trying to eat healthier. But don’t let that fool you — they have some truly delicious offerings.

Ice Cream Shops

Blue Moon, Garrett

https://www.facebook.com/thebluemoon1952 The Blue Moon opened in 1952 as a tiny custard stand. Over its history, 3 different local families have owned and operated it, and it still stands in its original location. While things have changed over the years, the lighted Blue Moon sign with the Pepsi logo still calls to passersby to stop in and enjoy a bit of nostalgia.

The Frozen Spoon, Leo

https://www.facebook.com/TheFrozenSpoon.Leo Serving up premium hand-dipped ice cream from a quaint historic home in Leo, The Frozen Spoon should be on your summer ice cream bucket list. They even have a mobile trailer that they take to community or private events and farmers markets. The outdoor picnic table area is absolutely charming, especially at night when it’s lit up by strings of Edison bulbs. a
