Temperatures are high and the sun is beaming this summer in Baton Rouge. Students and residents are beating the heat by cracking open cold drinks, buying shaved ice and heading to ice cream parlors. Here are a few locations to help keep you cool this summer:
Sno-man Snoballs
Snoballs, Dippin’ Dots, ice cream and more are sold at this small yet popular stand on Burbank Drive. With a list long of flavor options and low prices, customers of all ages stop by the stand after work, swim practices or just for a light snack.
LSU AgCenter Dairy Store
Open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the summer, the Dairy Store is a convenient and delicious way to finish your day on campus. Cake cones, waffle cones, milkshakes, smoothies and a variety of ice cream flavors provide students, faculty, staff and visitors with cold treats for the unbearably hot days.
Everything Philly
Fairly new to the LSU area, Everything Philly offers more than pizza slices and philly cheesesteaks. One of their fan favorites is their Philly Ice. Coming in flavors such as Banana Daiquiri and Salted Caramel, these smooth frozen desserts provide a refreshing delight for new and regular customers.
Barnes & Noble Cafe
Unlike the nationwide Starbucks chain, Barnes & Noble Cafe, which serves Starbucks coffee, offers a two-for-four deal that allows customers to choose any size iced coffee or tea and pair it with one of the select baked goods, such as muffins or cookies for just $4. In addition to the two for four deal, Barnes & Noble Cafe has a wide range of cold beverages both on the menu and custom made.
Insomnia Cookies
Insomnia Cookies offers more than cookies and milk. In addition to their individual and boxed cookies, Insomnia Cookies created the perfect dessert duo making ice cream sandwiches with ice cream and cookies of the customer’s choice. Also available are summer party packages including a six or 12 count of cookies and a pint or quart of ice cream.
