We might be biased, but we think Hot Springs is one of the best places to live in all of Arkansas. This town is known for its beautiful bathhouses and thermal pools. With Lake Hamilton to the south and Hot Springs National Park to the north, there is plenty of natural beauty all around. There is also plenty of ice cream to be found nearby. Here are our favorite places to grab a scoop in Hot Springs, AR.
Scoops
This shop prides itself on its homemade sundaes. “Yes… we really make it here” is painted on the wall, just to make sure you don’t forget. With over 20 different flavors, everyone will be able to find their favorite. The most unique menu item may be their spicy Mexican chocolate sundae.
It’s made with your choice of flavor and then loaded up with spicy Mexican chocolate sauce, pecans, a chocolate sprinkle-dipped cookie, and of course, a cherry on top.
Smallcakes
This bakery is known for its cupcakes, but they also offer small-batch frozen desserts and milkshakes. To get the best of both worlds, order the cupcake smash. This is a cup of frozen deliciousness with a cupcake on top. You can pick your favorite flavors for each, but our favorite combination is 2 scoops of chocolate with a peanut butter cup cupcake on top.
King Kone
King Kone is a drive-in burger joint with some of the best soft serve in town. They have also won awards for their old-fashioned burgers. There is so much to choose from here, it can be hard to pick just one dish off the menu. Of course, you can’t go wrong with a classic burger or try one of their footlong hot dogs. For a true Arkansas experience, get the catfish basket, served with hushpuppies and fries.
And don’t forget about dessert! King Kone has just as many options when it comes to the end-of-the-meal treats. Some stand-out options from their menu include a banana split, homemade nutty buddy, brownie delight, and cookie dough delight. Or, if you just want a simple sundae, you can order it in a waffle cone, a waffle bowl, or a dip cone.
