Ice cream is a treat that has delighted people of various generations for thousands of years. It all began circa 500 BCE in the First Persian Empire, when a chilled treat was perfected to serve to royalty during the summer months. As various ancient cultures perfected their own version of this frosty treat, it often utilized snow, sweeteners like honey or milk, and fruits to create a snack that’s truly suitable for any season. The ice cream sandwich came along at some point in the ice cream family tree, but its origins don’t matter. All that matters is that one Cleveland sweet shop has absolutely perfected this frosty treat.
Each visit to the Cleveland Arcade is truly unforgettable.
Though a familiar monument in Cleveland, this groundbreaking structure was one of the first indoor shopping malls in the nation, and truly a national treasure.
Its fine details and ornate features hearken back to its completion in 1890, and it's truly a feast for the eyes.
Featuring locally-sourced natural ingredients and oodles of flavor, you'll adore cookies like Chocolate Chip, M&M'S, Chocolate Brownie, Sugar, Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter, and even Ginger Molasses.
The pick-your-own topping approach is nothing new, but it's truly never been done quite like this before. Featuring sweet treats from Ashby Ice Cream Co. and toppings that'll blow your mind, each visit is sure to be delicious.
This sweet shop opens daily at 11 a.m., closing at 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and at 1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, according to their Facebook page.
Ice cream is a treat enjoyed by the young and old alike, and it was once (and probably still is) enjoyed by the likes of royalty. What kind of cookie would you like to try stuffed with ice cream?
