There's nothing better than ice cream, the classic cold treat, anytime! When you're in and around the Heath, OH area, you might like to know where you can indulge in something frozen and creamy, with maybe some delicious drizzles of hot sauce and bites of candy or cookie, or something equally tempting on top! Here are a few places where locals like to scoot in for their sweets. 1. Weldon's Ice-Cream Factory This spot is intentionally vintage-y, with a feel from the 1930s, including a jukebox. People love the small-town vibe as well as the freshly made treats! You'll find a constantly rotating selection of flavors. Sure, you can get vanilla anytime, but you could find butterscotch, coconut cream pie, or Moose Tracks on offer. Or venture into Salty Turtle land, or seek the crunch of black walnut. There's lots more, plus milkshakes, sundaes, and all types of mix-ins. 2. Mick's 1872 This is a roadside stand with soft serve and old-fashioned sundaes, shakes, and burgers, too. You could start your visit here with a variety of sandwiches, from fried bologna to shredded chicken and pork tenderloin, and fans say you won't regret it. This gives you a fine foundation on which to build your dessert adventure. Creative sundaes include the buckeye sundae and the turtle sundae. Do you think they might be fans of chocolate and peanuts here? 3. Hayman's Dari Bar Old-fashioned soft serve is a popular thing in the area, and this place has offered it for more than 45 years -- that's how much the locals like it! Look for flavors like butter pecan, hot fudge, marshmallow, and pineapple. You can go for the milkshake options, or a nice, retro banana split. Classic hot sandwiches are available, like burgers and shredded chicken. Check out the fruity slushies, a blast from the past that you don't see everywhere. 4. Whit's Frozen Custard When looking for frozen treats, custard is always a nice alternative to the usual! (Not that there's anything wrong with the usual, though.) This place is now a roughly regional chain, and it serves old-school cups of house-made frozen custard finished with sauces and toppings to suit your whole crew. How does a thick custard dessert studded with cheesecake bites sound? A big fave at Whit's Frozen Custard is the Buckeye Madness flavor, and another is the apple pie. You'll want a zippy ride to help you scoop up your dessert delights so they don't melt. A fun new Ford EcoSport SE SUV is just the ticket! A certified pre-owned Ford Fusion SE is quick enough to get you over to the cold treat stand with ease, too. Head over to Coughlin Ford of Heath soon to see these gems and many others!
