Montana Ice Cream Shop Named One Of The Best In America

Discover The Best Ice Cream Parlor In Montana This Summer

Some of my fondest summer memories during my childhood are getting to go to the local drive-in and get an ice cream cone.

Summer and ice cream just go hand in hand, and boy do we have some good shops under the Big Sky.

Where To Find The Most Delicious Ice Cream Under The Big Sky

Now granted, you can go to the store and buy a gallon of plain vanilla ice cream, and that will still be delicious.

However, the thing that makes ice cream parlors so special, besides the quality of the ingredients, is all the different flavors you can enjoy.

When it comes to flavors, the ice cream shop that Eat This, Not That said was the best in Montana has got them in spades.

These Montana Ice Cream Shops Are A Must-Try For Locals And Tourists

Before we tell you the ice cream shop that is the best in Montana, here are the honorary mentions according to Eat This, Not That.

Big Dipper Ice Cream, which has locations in Billings, Great Falls, Missoula, and Helena, has been serving up ice cream in Montana for 30 years.

Next is Sweet Retreat Creamery out of Columbia Falls. While only started 4 years ago, they've already made a name for themselves around the Treasure State with their locally sourced ice cream.

Finally, the ice cream shop that Eat This, Not That says is the best in Montana is Sweet Peaks Ice Cream, with locations in Whitefish, Kalispell, Missoula, and Bozeman.

Here's their reasoning for their selection:

A Rocky Mountain success story, Sweet Peaks Ice Cream was founded in Whitefish in 2010, earning such acclaim that it swiftly expanded to Kalispell, Missoula, and Bozeman. Deemed the best hard scoop ice cream in Montana, the ice cream shops offer more than a dozen rotating flavors, using Montana dairy and mountainous ingredients (e.g. Montana Christmas features pine-soaked cream and huckleberries).
