Best Gelato in Arkansas

"No city guide is complete without ice cream, and no Little Rock flavor roundup would be complete without the eclectic, locally sourced offerings of Loblolly Creamery. While many restaurants in the city serve Loblolly’s cool treats on their own menus, the ice cream wonders are best enjoyed at the old-fashioned soda fountain within the Green Corner Store in Little Rock’s SoMA District. Buttermilk, honey-green tea and Little Rock-y Road are outstanding – as are the fantastic collaborative ice creams created from local products such as Rocktown Bourbon Pecan made from Rocktown Distillery’s award-winning bourbon and Death by KYYA from KYYA’s bean-to-bar chocolate."

"The Loblolly Creamery is a small-batch ice cream shop providing cold refreshments for the hot Arkansas days. Their assortment of unusual flavors includes Black Cat Vanilla (yes, it’s black) and Red Velvet Pig Sooie. Coffee and baked goods, as colorful as the ice cream, round out the menu."

"The Purple Cow Restaurant in Midtown, Little Rock is well worth stopping by. The interior expresses a mixture of imagination, quality and uniqueness. Keeping an Arkansas tradition alive since 1989, they offer some of the greatest shakes and malts you have ever tasted."

"Located in the heart of the River Market District, Kilwins is the go-to spot for classic sweets like fudge, taffy, and caramel apples. The shop’s old-fashioned, picture-perfect rows of candies make for a dazzling display, and it’s not uncommon for folks to stop in just to smell the chocolate-scented air. Even if you find yourself in the River Market to experience a little nightlife, no one could blame you for sneaking into Kilwins for a little bite of fudge."

"Something that makes Kilwins Little Rock special is that beyond their tasty treats, their crafting is put on full display. Calling it an artisan performance, the store is open so that customers can view the making of all their Chocolates, Fudges, Brittles, Shakes, among their other items. The Kilwins opened the business in 1947, and since then they have valued not only their confectionaries but also the community they are serving."
