Springfield, VA, is known for its laid-back atmosphere and relaxed style. With plenty of stores to check out, trails to hike, and sights to see, you’ll never run out of fun to have. The only thing that could make a day here better is ice cream! This list will give you all the best local shops to visit.
1. Sophie’s Dough
The environment for Sophie’s Dough is just as cute as the dessert they serve, with old-fashioned elements revived by bright colors and a sunny atmosphere. The frozen treats here are top tier, but they’re treated as a base for all the additional sweets that get piled on top. Here, you can expect things like donuts on a stick and waffle cookies balanced on whipped cream with whatever flavor you select.
One photo-worthy selection is the cookie monster dough shake, which comes with a bright blue mint flavor as the base and chocolate drizzle swirled through the cup and coated on the rim with a mocha crunch topping. Even better is it comes with a cookie on the top in a dollop of whipped cream.
2. Paradise
Paradise is perfect for guests who aren’t sure if they’d rather have a cookie, cake, or something a bit more creamy. Here, you can be served all three at once! There’s definitely an emphasis on adding in different textures, with most of their specials involving some amount of frozen cookie dough blended in.
The biggest star on this menu is the cappuccino toffee cake. It comes as an Oreo cookie stuffed full of coffee-flavored cream with toffee sprinkles all over. Their dessert sandwiches are the perfect hand food on the go, and even if you manage to spill, the stain-resistant seats of the Lexus RX AWD practically clean themselves.
3. Emily’s Snow Cones and Fruits
If you’re looking for a healthier option, this shop will be more your pace. Their frozen treats are used as the foundation for a fruit bowl, so you get a little balance with your fun. It also adds a burst of flavor, which really helps seal the deal.
As the name implies, this location also specializes in serving fruity snowcones alongside the sorbets. We recommend mixing the raspberry and grape flavors and topping it off with fresh-cut watermelon for a juicy refresher.
Whether you’re wanting to satisfy your sweet tooth or reward yourself with a well-earned treat, Springfield has what you need. Each of these locations has something different to offer, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Drop by Dealer Network Trade and pair your new vehicle with your new favorite dessert to round out the perfect weekend.
