If you were to ask us to choose any one specific mom-and-pop ice cream shop in Indiana – or any specific mom-and-pop shop in the Midwest, period – we would have an awfully hard time narrowing it down to just one. After all, the state of Indiana is weirdly (and wonderfully) blessed with an abundance of absolutely awesome dessert shops, bakeries, and creameries, and each one is worthy of a closer look. For now, let’s check out one little shop that’s a bit different than the rest: it’s located in New Albany, and it’s so amazing that it should seriously just be illegal to drive through without stopping here. Its name says it all: it’s Uncommon Cups and Cones, and we can’t get enough. Come get some of the best ice cream in Indiana – ASAP!

Sure, it's right in the name, but Uncommon Cups and Cones really is uncommon.

After all, there's only one. And it's ours. All ours (insert sinister laughter here)!
When you walk in, you'll feel more like you've stepped into someone's home than an ice cream shop.

Perhaps that's because the building is a repurposed home. Or maybe it's because this little spot is the epitome of mom-and-pop. Okay, it's both.
Both is fine. And boy, so is this ice cream.
