The most important staple in a summer diet.

I asked you on our Facebook page: what is the best Quad Cities ice cream shop in your opinion?

We can agree that our favorite ice cream flavors say a lot about us. For example, if you like chocolate, you're passionate with an "indulgent personality". Vanilla fans are often elegant and the "backbone of their circles". Strawberry fans have a "sweet and youthful spirit". If you like mint chocolate chip, you are "refreshing and vibrant".

If you prefer cookie dough like me, then you and I are "the epitome of fun". Yay us.

There's no season for ice cream but, luckily for us in the QCA, we have a lot of options on yummy places to get ice cream on hot summer days. Whether you're looking at returning to your favorite ice cream haunt or perhaps popping into somewhere new, both sides of the river can make you a good sundae. It makes the insane heat a little more tolerable.

It's just about that time. Summer 2025 is at our door. The zoo is getting ready to open this week, kids don't have much time left in schools, and before we all know it, it's going to be a gazillion degrees outside.

And so, in no particular order, here are the favorite QCA ice cream shops for summer 2025!
