We can finally feel the summer heat!

Now that we can shed our parkas and put our snow brushes back in the garage, it's time to start thinking about our favorite summer treat.

Whether you're a fan of soft serve or an old-fashioned sundae, the Greater Cleveland area has an ice cream option for you.

Here's our list of 10 cool places to enjoy an even cooler dessert.

Mason's Creamery

Ohio City's small batch ice cream spot has just the right variety of flavors. The tiny shop has a few tables to sit indoors (in case the weather's too hot), or there's space to sit outside. Mason's has soft serve and regular ice cream with traditional flavors like chocolate and more daring options like vanilla sriracha. You can also upgrade your ice cream by adding churros or macaroons.

Mitchell's

If you ask a Clevelander where to get ice cream, chances are Mitchell's will be the first suggestion you receive. It's also an ideal option for those seeking vegan flavors.

No foodie tour of Cleveland would be complete without a stop at @mitchellscleve - which may just be the best ice cream in the world. I had a scoop of the Autumn Caramel Apple and the Wildberry Crumble 😜 | More on theblondera.com

Ice Cream Joy

This Lakewood spot offers artisanal ice creams, as well as brunch. Decadent ice cream flavors include chai pear, brown sugar bourbon and amaretto sugar cookie.

Strickland's

It's Akron's go-to for frozen custard for good reason. Chocolate and vanilla are the standard, and there are always the flavors of the day.
