If there’s one defining dish for summer, it’s ice cream. Oklahomans scream for it year-round, but the cooling confection is especially satisfying in the hotter months, when s’mores sundaes and rice pudding popsicles scratch the itch.

A local favorite, with four scoop shops between OKC and Edmond, Roxy’s Ice Cream Social tastes like summer vacation in a cone. Each location, starting from the Plaza District original, is bright and vibrant, with a whimsical menu to match. In addition to classic flavors like mint chocolate and cookies & cream, customers can level up with ice cream sandwiches and indulgent sundaes, like a s’mores version with graham cracker ice cream, hot fudge and marshmallow topping.

Boom Town Creamery touts fresh ingredients, handmade toppings and the highest quality ice cream on its menu. Even the “classic” flavors are riveting, like the Cherry Goat combo, made with goat cheese ice cream, roasted cherries and hot fudge, while seasonal releases include a Peach Chai flavor from chef Andrew Black.

With more than 80 flavors to choose from, and 20-plus toppings to add, the options are basically endless at Tizo’s Pops & Ice Cream. Along with ice cream, chamoy slushes and chicharrones, scratch-made popsicles are the stars, in a dizzying array of flavors ranging from banana-Nutella and Corn Flakes to oatmeal-strawberry and guava-cheese. Feeling extra? Order any popsicle “flameada”-style, which enrobes any flavor in torched marshmallow.
