The summer heat is kicking in, and nothing hits the spot quite like a frozen dessert. If you feel like you're melting, you're in luck because Rexburg has a thriving ice cream scene, and your next brain freeze is only a few blocks away.

Here are eight of the best places to get ice cream this summer.

G's Dairy Delights

Located at 600 Handcart Lane, G's Dairy Delights has been in Rexburg for 17 years and is best known for its homemade ice cream made in-store. Their fun flavors can be ordered in cones, cups and shakes.

G's Dairy is a favorite of Rexburg locals, and one customer labeled it the "Best ice cream stop there is in town!"

Crispý Cones

Crispý Cones is Rexburg's very own Shark Tank success story. If you didn't get to go on vacation this summer, Crispý Cones can bring a bit of Eastern Europe into your life with its twist on soft-serve ice cream. They serve their ice cream in freshly baked dough cones with your choice of spread, flavor and toppings.

Customer reviews praise Crispý Cones for being the perfect craving-satisfier.

Chocolate Plunge

If you're a fan of toppings with your ice cream, head to Chocolate Plunge. Here you can smother your choice of frozen treat with melted chocolate and other delicious toppings to your overheated heart's desire.

On top of tasty desserts, Chocolate Plunge also has a fun atmosphere.

"The interior is absolutely beautiful, and it just gets better the longer you look around," said one customer review.

Sugarbeast

Sugarbeast off West 4th South St is a great place to hang out and bring your friends. All of the ice cream and waffle cones are handmade in-store, as well as their pastries and sandwiches.

If you're looking for a fun summer weekend activity to go along with your dessert, Sugarbeast also hosts a karaoke night every Saturday from 8-10 p.m.

Be sure to bring a card as Sugarbeast does not accept cash payment.

Kiwi Loco

Kiwi Loco is a popular student pick, offering self-serve frozen yogurt, an array of fun toppings and dairy-free options. The pay-by-weight setup makes it easy to stake your cup as high as your budget allows.

Keep your eye out for Kiwi Loco's fun deals and discounts, like the pushup discount, to knock your spending down a notch or two and burn off some calories while you're at it.

Creamy Daze

Creamy Daze's grand opening was on Aug. 1, making it Rexburg's newest ice cream shop.

Located at 175 W 2nd S, next to Barber Pop Shop, Creamy Daze stands out from the crowd by being the only shop in Rexburg, and one of the few in Idaho, to offer a southern specialty — Blue Bell ice cream.

Several customer reviews express excitement for finally having Blue Bell ice cream near and available.

Karie Anne's Frozen Deserts

Karie Anne's Frozen Desserts is a Rexburg summer staple. Every summer, Karie Anne opens shop in the lot next to the Walgreens off Main Street. While it's not ice cream, Karie Anne's gelatis, a mixture of custard and Italian ice, are a major hit.

Customers say that it is the perfect amount of sweetness without being overpowering, and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

"It is a place where you always want to come back to," said one customer.

Cold Stone

Cold Stone is a classic ice cream stop, perfect for a date night or just a treat yourself moment.

Cold Stone offers a wide selection of quality ice cream flavors. " This, dear friends, is no flimsy concoction of air masquerading as ice cream!" said one customer.

A little farther out from town, Cold Stone is located at 485 N 2nd E, next to SuperCuts and The Hickory.
