In a word, the last few weeks have been HOT! With temperatures soaring into the mid-90s almost daily, now’s the perfect time to treat your palate to some fun-flavored frozen desserts (say that three times). Luckily, Gahanna has its fair share of cool-treat eateries around town, and I felt it was my civic duty to try a few! From frozen yogurt to creamy custard, here are some must-haves:
Whit’s Frozen Custard -- 121 S. Stygler Rd
This is our personal fave! Simple in its selections, Whit’s only offers vanilla, chocolate and a special weekly flavor. BUT, don’t be fooled by the simplicity. Any combination of custard and fruit, nut or candy topping creates something pretty special…and tasty. The strawberry cheesecake Whitser is a dream!
Spoon Me -- 4691 Morse Rd
This unique establishment serves up frozen yogurt in a fun and eco-friendly way. With six self-service machines, Spoon Me rotates 50 different flavors, including best sellers Natural Tart, Vanilla, and Birthday Cake – a flavor explosion of epic proportion. Careful not to get carried away piling on any of the 36 toppings, as size does matter; patrons pay $.45 per ounce for their selection…and might I say, it’s worth every penny!
Rita’s -- 200 Granville Street
How can you not love a place where the mantra is: ice. custard. happiness .In addition to the obvious Italian Ice and custard, Rita’s also offers blended treats like a Gelati, Misto and Blendini to satisfy those who like the best of both worlds. Grab your treat to go or stick around and relax on the patio. Either way, you’ll be glad you stopped!
Or, take your pick from 31 flavors at Baskin Robbins; get serenaded by the Cold Stone Creamery crew when you leave a tip; stick with an enduring favorite, Dairy Queen; or, buy local at Graeters.
