Summer is nearing its end, which means the spooky season is just around the corner! While I cannot wait for fall, there are just some things you can only do in the summer. For one thing, you get to enjoy the outdoors more with activities like paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, and outdoor concerts. While these activities are fun, there is one thing that screams summer, the entity of summer is…ice cream. That’s right! Nothing says summer, like a waffle cone containing your favorite flavor of ice cream. And while a simple cone or cup of ice cream is quite indulging, listed below are five places here in Salt Lake City with insta-worthy frozen delights!
Doki Doki
249 E 400 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84111
Rolled ice cream is starting to take off in a big way and Doki Doki has successfully managed to find ways to make their rolled ice cream unique by rolling it inside sweet Japanese crêpes. Doki Doki also serves different cream teas, along with boba tea for those who like their beverages to have a bit of texture. Beat the summer rush and get there now!
Normal Ice Cream
525 Trolley Square, Salt Lake City, UT 84102
Alexa Norlin, founder of Normal Ice Cream, was originally a pastry chef, but delved into ice cream when she figured out she loved the originality of the treat (and the fact that Utahns love it). Normal Ice Cream is served at an ice cream truck inside Trolley Square. Special flavors vary every week, all in all you will find normal ice cream with a twist (get it?!).

Enjoy a little taste of Italy in Utah. Dolcetti Gelato is a gelato cafe serving fresh, handmade gelato from a rotating cabinet of over 150 artisinal flavors.

Spilled Milk Ice Cream and Cereal Bar
