Sweet treats have become the new hangout in college.

Students throughout dorms, fraternity and sorority houses can be heard asking if anyone is interested in getting a sweet treat tonight. I’ve got your next sweet treat spot in mind: Gail’s Fine Ice Cream.

This ice cream parlor, located at 3025 Perkins Road, Baton Rouge, makes you feel like you’re on vacation by the shore. Over the speakers, Elton John and timeless love songs are humming soft melodies. If you go as the sun is setting, the overhead string lights glow, dimly creating a cozy atmosphere.

Customers can sit at a table outside or relax at a picnic bench to enjoy the classic dessert. Whether you see it from the street, walking or driving by, its inviting, beachy vibe is sure to catch your eye and draw you inside.

Gail’s Fine Ice Cream creates unique flavors that highlight beautiful seasonal elements, while keeping its ingredients clean and fresh. Fruits and other toppings are hand mixed into its ice cream, ensuring guests are receiving truly fine ice cream. The flavors vary from season to season, but they have 12 consistent flavors including: little monsters, mint chip, cortado, lemon ice box pie and many more spunky flavors to choose from.

Gail’s Fine Ice Cream offers more than just refreshing and creamy ice cream, it is an experience in itself. Just like a kid in a candy store, you stare into the glass and pick out the perfect flavor, taste testing the ones that catch your eye, getting your choice of cup or cone, walking out to a table, enjoying a delicious treat and chatting or playing games.

There’s no doubt this ice cream is tasty, but will it break a college students’ bank? This is an experience you won’t find at just any ordinary drive-thru. A single scoop is $4.50 and a double is $7.50, making it worth the sweet treat adventure.

There’s a reason dessert is spelled with more than one “S”: you will always want to go back for more.
