NOW SERVING CARAMEL SAUCE!

Toasty and golden. Nutty and buttery. Rich, silky, with just the right pop of salt. Basically like drizzling a melted caramel candy onto ice cream.

In shops nationwide!

WATERMELON TAFFY IS BACK IN SHOPS.

Perfect and puckery. Bouncy and bright. A flagrant defier of the laws of physics (it’s both ethereally light and extraordinarily creamy). Exactly like a watermelon sour candy. If it wasn’t summer before, it is now.

One kind of cocoa wasn’t enough for Confetti Brownie Batter. So we used two. Fair Trade brown cocoa combined with black cocoa, for the smooth, fudge-like quality of a dark chocolate brownie. We’d eat it by itself. But the sprinkles make us smile.

Japanese matcha — nutty, grassy, balanced — steeped into cream. Twisted with Madagascar vanilla ice cream for blended, matcha-latte-like character. Strawberry jam for texture, color, fruitiness, fun.

We just raised 30% more money for She Should Run than we did last year. Help us celebrate and keep pushing the cause. Name great women who should run. Remember that super smart woman you went to grade school with? Tell her to run. That stay at home mom who would be amazing on your city government? That organizing star who should be in office? Tag them here, and let’s encourage great women to run.

We will be closing tonight at 9 p.m. and will be closed all day tomorrow due to the extreme temperatures. Please stay safe out there!

Banana French Toast ice cream. A velvety banana custard with pops of pure maple syrup and lots of cinnamon-brown sugar French toast gravel. Only in shops for Ice Cream for Breakfast Day this Saturday, Feb. 2.

Bouncy as a cloud with flavor as bright as sunshine. 🍋 Jeni first made this gorgeous Lemon Buttermilk Frozen Yogurt more than 20 years ago, inspired by the citrusy sherbets she loved as a kid. It quickly became her favorite flavor and remains so today. 🍋 Made with lemon juice and oil from lemon zest, we add cultured buttermilk and fresh yogurt for the most incredibly creamy, creme fraiche-like texture. Find Lemon BFY in shops and online now!

Mash together Bananas Foster and crème brûlée and you get this luscious custard. Made with real bananas (no flavorings here!) because it’s the only way to infuse that not too grassy, not too sweet, perfect banana flavor in every bite. A silky egg yolk custard and torched sugar candies pay homage to the classic French dessert. The pièce de résistance? A splash of apple brandy, made with Ohio apples by our friends at Watershed Distillery. This is a top shelf, white tablecloth, silver spoon ice cream if there ever was one. Brandied Banana Brûlée is now in shops, online, and in select grocery stores for a limited time.

We are closed today. Our Southport and Armitage scoop shops will be open today for normal hours! We will see you tomorrow.
