Then keep reading, because we’re about to show you where to get the best ice cream in America!

Why Jeni’s? Because of its bouquet of flavors like wildberry lavender, Thai chili, and salty caramel!

Why? Well, it’s known that former President Obama and his family enjoyed a few cones at Mt. Desert!  The former President ordered coconut, but there’s also a Jack Daniels flavor, so that’s some — boozy — food for thought in case you were thinking about searching cheap last-minute flights to Maine anytime soon!

Why? Because Sweet Republic is famous for its high-quality, local, and fair trade ingredients.

Why? The famous burnt caramel cream of this legendary Massachusetts venue is quite popular, as well as the view of both passersby and patrons watching through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Why? Pumphouse Creamery works with organic local dairy, and its sea salt and caramel praline cone has become a undisputable local obsession.

Why? The clever combination of traditional flavors with unique ones like Creole cream cheese is what makes the Creole Creamery a truly special place to gather and enjoy really good ice cream.

Why? Everything at Bi-Rite is homemade, even the Rocky Road marshmallows. And that’s a promise!

Why? The 100 percent wind-powered Sweet Action is known for having unusually delicious flavors, like oatmeal stout, strawberry balsamic, and baklava!

Why? Since 1796, resident cows have produced decadent ice creams for Woodside Farm, such as its signature and very much appreciated Peanut Butter & Jelly flavor. Sounds like an awesome reason to start looking for cheap flights in August, doesn’t it?
