What's better than a frozen treat on a hot Charlotte afternoon? The city has no shortage of options—from housemade ice cream and fruit pops to snowballs and gelato.
Two Scoops Creamy and Golden Cow Creamery, both with multiple locations, serve homemade ice cream, while Seemingly Overzealous and Artisen's Gelato cater to those with gluten, dairy, and egg allergies. For something over the top, SWIRL Dessert Bar blends ice cream topped with a cookie and a whole cupcake. Or go straight for the frozen cheesecake at Ninety's Dessert Bar, known for nostalgia-inspired treats.
Stay cool!
