No matter when that craving strikes, you can always get a scoop (or two) at Coffee Cartel, open 24/7/365 with 24+ flavors of classic Edy’s Grand Ice Cream, or a cup decked out in all your favorite flavors at FroYo. If you prefer more “unconventional” flavors, check out Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream, where seasonal varieties such as Watermelon Buttermilk Frozen Yogurt, Cream Puff Ice Cream and Hard Cider Sorbet are sure to hit the spot.

Jeni’s will celebrate National Ice Cream Day (July 16) with a free kids cone for every kid that walks through the door (with corresponding full-price purchase of scoop, pints, merchandise, etc.)!

The culinary geniuses in the CWE have plenty of creative takes on everyone’s favorite hot weather treat — don’t miss the fried green tea ice cream at Drunken Fish or an ice cream-topped margarita at El Burro Loco. For sweet tooths 21 and up, indulge in one of Kingside Diner‘s boozy shakes, with grown-up combos like strawberry and vanilla vodka, or crack pie and Evan Williams.
