When on summer vacation, wherever you happen to be, there’s something nice about going to an ice cream parlor, ordering a cone and taking a stroll around the city or along the boardwalk. We’re not talking gelato, not frozen yogurt, not custard — pure, unadulterated ice cream. Whether you prefer vanilla, chocolate or Rocky Road, here are the parlors serving it up best.
Bi-Rite Creamery, San Francisco
With a line that goes out the door and down the street, Bi-Rite Creamery must be doing something right. Every little thing that goes into the ice cream is handmade right there in the shop with local ingredients. The flavors are seasonal, but you can always expect something to tempt your taste buds.
Simmos Ice Creamery, Australia
Simmos achieved worldwide recognition, after just a little less than 30 years in the biz. It all started with a dad, a son and an ice cream machine, and now they’ve expanded to include dozens of flavors. They also have a mini golf course right at the shop.
Sometimes the best things in life are done the old-fashioned way, and Eddie’s soda shop gets it perfect every time by doing just that. The shop opened in 1909 and serves up 20 classic flavors, topped with syrups and other sweets made in-house.
The Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, Brooklyn
With views of the Brooklyn Bridge and the New York skyline and a cash-only policy, plus a limited selection of flavors, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory keeps things simple and sweet. You can grab a cone while you wait for the ferry or for a nice walk along the waterfront.
Snugburys Ice Cream, United Kingdom
Three sisters known for their ice cream and also their straw sculptures run this little shop in Cheshire. The flavors are inventive while not being totally out there, just in case you need something a little unique — think ginger and honey, carrot cake, Turkish delight and amaretto.
