Sweet Occasions and More

This is an excellent place to go for ice cream. They have a special flavor of the day everyday, but there's one flavor that I just can't get enough of. That flavor is the brownie explosion, which is made up of chocolate and lots of brownies. They have a ton of flavors to choose from and most of them are really a must try. The shop is really cute and they carry a bunch of items here, but the ice cream is hard to pass over. more

This company, out of Wisconsin, will not try to sell you by offering dozens of low-fat or low-carb desserts. In fact, they will come right out and tell you they use full-fat everything, a bunch of creamy, rich, natural ingredients in their ice cream. They may not have quite the selection of Cold Stone, but they do often have unique flavors that change frequently. The service is very nice and friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and they also sell chocolates, pastries, and other yummy treats. In the summer there is almost a line out the door here but it's worth the wait. There is just something real traditional and satisfying about the ice cream here - you can't feel bad eating it even if you are trying to stick to a healthy diet. more
