Here are my TOP 8 favorite sweet treat spots to visit during the summertime
Hidden Seed Plant Co
Spring Hill
This is a summer MUST-HAVE for our family. We love the Beach family (yes, that’s their name) and how they’ve incorporated their Beach Co. Chill shaved ice truck into their plant and nature shop. Outdoor eating only, but plenty of shade
Bobbie’s Dairy Dip
Nashville
The quintessential summer pit stop in Nashville, Bobbie’s Dairy Dip has been around for generations. Enjoy their outdoor seating with walk-up service. But be aware, they close during thunderstorms and inclement weather
Fryce Cream
Nashville
Hot, salty fries paired with cool, creamy soft-served ice cream??? This is the stuff dreams are made of. Plus they have dairy-free ice cream on rotation and an ever changing menu of homemade toppings and dipping sauces
KOKOS Ice Cream
Nashville
This 100% plant-based ice cream shop is full of delicious, specially crafted flavors available for walk-up or dine-in service. We love enjoying ours outside on the boardwalk watching the sand volleyball games. Feels like the beach!
Janarty’s
Smyrna
Adorable shop with small-batch, hand-made flavors. Usually has allergy-friendly options as well. Call ahead to verify flavors as they switch out often
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice
Murfreesboro
Outdoor seating, indoor/outdoor ordering, frozen ice, and ice cream! SO much to love at this little shop. Plus it’s just down the street from Boro Beach
The Soda Bar
Murfreesboro
With ice cream, milkshakes, Italian Ice and more, The Soda Bar has something for everyone. It has indoor and outdoor seating and faces the Fountains at Gateway splash pad
Wanna Spoon Cereal Bar
Nashville
Great outdoor seating, fenced-in play area for kids, and specialty cereal to top your ice cream and yogurt concoctions
