Bryant, AR
Happy Scoops Italian Ice serves up a frozen treat that's creamy like ice cream but tastes like a popsicle — whipped during freezing the same way traditional Italian ice has been made for generations, with a drive-thru that makes it easy to grab a scoop on your way through Bryant.
Benton, AR
Loblolly Creamery crafts small-batch ice cream and other sweet treats inspired by Arkansas seasons and local food culture — recipes built from the ground up with fresh, seasonal ingredients and no premixes, preservatives, or artificial stabilizers, on a rich 15% butterfat base.
