North Carolina: The No. 1 Spot to Get Ice Cream In the State

We all know and love some of our favorite ice cream spots to enjoy on a warm day. Ice cream is defined by Merriam-Webster as a sweet flavored frozen food containing cream or butterfat and usually eggs. But have you ever wondered where the best ice cream spot in North Carolina is?

We have discussed ice cream spots to try in Charlotte, but what about all of North Carolina? Or maybe even the best in South Carolina? There are so many ice cream spots to break down, but Food and Wine went and did just that. Thanks to Food and Wine, we are able to learn about the best ice cream in North Carolina.
