Ice cream cravings can strike at any moment, and lucky for us, Nashville’s ice cream shops churn out delicious treats year-round. Find a scoop (or three) you love at these spots around town.

New locations

Fryce Cream, Locations vary | You don’t have to choose between sweet and salty at Fryce Cream, known for its soft serve and crispy fries. Choose from a variety of ice cream toppings, fry dustings, and sauces. Bonus: The ice cream shop’s new Donelson location (2720 Old Lebanon Rd.) opens tomorrow, June 27 at 3 p.m.

The Bee Ice Cream & Mini Donuts, 2610 Nolensville Pk. | The Bee relocated a few blocks south as of mid-June, but fear not — you can still enjoy the signature Oaxacan ice cream, homemade fruit popsicles, and selection of sweet and savory snacks.

On the move

Lightbox Ice Cream, Locations vary | Self-described as “Nashville’s newest and brightest ice cream brand,” Lightbox specializes in dairy-free soft serve on tap. Watch the ice cream truck in action + keep up with its whereabouts on Instagram.

Black Box Ice Cream, Locations vary | Visit the brick-and-mortar location in Smyrna or catch the truck at local events to try rotating flavors such as Ube, Mountain Dew, and Creamy Cherry Kool-Aid.

Ice cream and beyond

Bobbie’s Dairy Dip, 5301 Charlotte Ave. | A West Nashville staple since the 1950s, summer days are just better with a Bobbie’s cone or sundae. The ice cream stand has burgers, hot dogs, and cheese fries, too.

Wanna Spoon Cereal Bar, 1111 Caruthers Ave. | Ice cream isn’t in the shop’s name, but it’s waiting for you at this vibrant 12 South spot. Blend your ice cream or milkshake (dairy-free option available) with a choice of cereal and additional toppings.

Sweet Sofia’s, 7087 Old Harding Pk. | This Bellevue dessert shop offers an expansive menu of ice cream, paletas, mangonadas, smoothies, crepes, and other treats.
