Spring weather has us craving a sweet treat. Here’s where you can find top-notch ice cream around CBUS.

🍨 Unique cones

CRMD Ice Cream not only has waffle cones, but also puffle cones. Puffles are popular in Hong Kong and look similar to bubble wrap with bubbles throughout. They are served hot with a crispy texture on the outside and a chewy inside + pair perfectly with cold ice cream.

🍨 Rolled ice cream

Simply Rolled Ice Cream rolls their ice cream into cylinders on an ice cold pan, which creates a different shape and texture than traditional ice cream. Some signature rolls include Buckeye Madness, Gone Bananas, and Get S’more.

🍨 Ice cream sandwiches

At the newly re-opened S’wich Social, create your own ice cream sandwich by choosing your cookies, then and ice cream to go in the middle, and finishing with toppings, ranging from Nutella to cheesecake bites.
