Ice cream is high on the list of Utahns’ favorite treats, right up there with dirty soda and green Jello. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the third Sunday of July as National Ice Cream Day. The team at Niche Homes believes one day a year is simply not enough. We have many excellent parlors to choose from. Here are 10 of our favorite locally-owned ice cream shops:
- Millcreek – Blacksmith Ice Cream Co.
- Central Ninth – normal ice cream
- Avenues – Hatch Family Chocolates
- Yalecrest- Iceberg (walk-up shake shack at Jolley’s)
- Holladay – Nielsens Frozen Custard
- Draper – Leatherby’s Family Creamery
- South Jordan – Snelgrove Premium Ice Cream
- Ogden – Farr’s Ice Cream Parlor
Farther from home but worth the journey:
- Aggie Ice Cream – Creamery at Utah State University in Logan
- LaBeau’s – Classic raspberry shake in Garden City at Bear Lake
