School’s out and summer’s here. It’s time to treat yourself to a cold taste of summertime without spending too much of your cold cash. Here’s a list of frozen treats in Fountain Valley that will light up your taste buds without lightening your wallet:
- Did you know we have an ice cream shop in Fountain Valley that hand makes its all-natural ice cream on site? It’s Lola’s Ice Cream and Deli, and its top-selling flavors are Lola’s Coffee, Cookie Monster and Fresh Strawberry. A single scoop of Lola's handmade artisan ice cream starts at $1.50. You can get an ice cream shake for $4.50 and a root beer float for $4.65.
- Yogurt Passion specializes in gourmet self-serve yogurt and super-fresh toppings. It has one of the largest fresh fruit selections I’ve seen at a yogurt shop, and the yogurt flavors range from the classics like chocolate peanut butter to the exotic, with fresh Lychee. Yogurt is priced at an affordable 35 cents per ounce.
- If you prefer your ice cream in flash-frozen form, then Dippin’ Dots is the place for you. With popular flavors like root beer, banana split and cotton candy, prices for a serving of this futuristic treat start at $2.95.
- Juice It Up lets you have your cold summer treat in smoothie form. From the non-dairy Lemon Ginseng Sling to the classic Strawberry Wave, Juice It Up smoothies are created to liven up your body, mind, and mood. A 16-ounce smoothie is $3.75, and you get one free natural booster, like ginseng for energy or VitaBoost for a vitamin surge.
- Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors of ice cream and so much more. It offers soft serve, ice cream cakes, shakes, sundaes and yogurt. A scoop of this month’s special flavor, Toffee Pecan Crunch, will only cost $2.40.
