“the works” at THE PARLOR ICE CREAM PUFFS
In no particular order...
“My go-to ice cream-inspired treat is The Works at The Parlor Ice Cream Puffs, which consists of a milkshake (my favorite flavor is Cake Batter), topped with a Nutella-filled donut and whip. Toppings are limitless and free of charge, but ordering it as-is will satisfy the sweetest of teeth.”
“Sparkles Ice Cream and Yogurt in Granite Bay uses liquid nitrogen to make their treats, so you essentially get dessert and a show! All of their flavors taste unbelievably good (I’m a sucker for the Salted Caramel with Caramel Swirl and Heath Bar mix-ins though!) and the portions are plenty generous!”
“Sometimes you just need a tried-and-true, old-fashioned treat. The Original Mels serves up a killer single-scoop Ice Cream Sundae with your choice of ice cream and sauce, plus whipped cream, nuts and a cherry. I keep it classic with vanilla and hot fudge…hold the nuts!”
“When I find myself with nothing to do on a warm summer evening, I’ll take a ride to The Fountains and stop in Miabella Gelato for a traditional Stracciatella. I sit at one of the benches outside and people watch, allowing myself to be transported back to the streets of Rome—and the indulgent flavors of the sidewalk gelateria near my hotel.” miabellagelato.com
“The Mangoladan at Shave Monster is a mango lover’s dream come true. Each order comes with Gunther’s mango ice cream, fresh slices of mango, a heap of mango ‘snow’ (creamy shaved ice), mango sauce and condensed milk. It’s not only Instagram worthy, but tasty too!” 916-872-1788
