The Tiny Shop In Tennessee That Serves Homemade Ice Cream To Die For
It’s been unseasonably warm in Tennessee this winter, and you know what that means: ice cream. Ice cream season is starting early, it’s starting strong, and it’s about to begin right here in the middle of the state. Cream City in Cookeville, Tennessee has become something of a legend. It’s a local ice cream parlor with a heart of gold, coupled with a reputation that would make your mama proud.

Cream City Ice Cream & Coffee House neon sign that sits above the local hot spot was erected in 1950, and it once was the largest neon sign between Nashville and Knoxville. It was such a neat thing to Tennesseans, that it garnered its own tourist population!

The locally owned ice cream shop sits right in the middle of downtown, making the perfect summertime backdrop for an ice cream cone. Cream City offers thirty specialized flavors, and can cater to multiple diet intolerances - you just have to ask! Their seasonal offerings are classic and welcomed, as well s their quirky and fun takes on lattes and coffee favorites.

Is this not the sweetest storefront? Simple, honest and pure, this is where you should find your next sundae. The prices are reasonable and match your creamy scoops of chilly brilliance.

We'd like to try all 30 flavors, if we could...on a sundae or in a cone or in a bowl - it doesn't even MATTER. We'll take one of each!

Located at 119 W Broad Street in downtown Cookeville, Tennessee, this is one place you'll need to put on your Tennessee bucket list. We love to find sweet places that truly exhibit the heart of our state, and we're pretty sure we've found our unofficial-official state ice cream shop. Would you agree?
What a sweet (ha!) place. Have you been?
