Kansas Small-Batch Ice Cream Shops Serve Sweet Homemade Scoops
“What flavor of ice cream would you like?” Peeking through the glass, it can be a difficult decision to make with flavors like Lavender Honey, Maple Walnut and Lemon Custard available.
You likely don’t need an excuse to order ice cream, although National Ice Cream Month makes it even sweeter. Each of these Kansas ice cream shops is known for its small-batch flavors, served as a single scoop or as a pint, however you desire.

Frost doesn’t only make standard ice cream flavors. One can expect seasonal ingredients to influence recipes like Sweet Corn or Beet and Mascarpone ice cream. The shop also doubles as a bakery, making it possible to sandwich a scoop of the always-popular Biscoff®-flavored ice cream between oven-baked cookies. Request an order à la mode, and you will be presented with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream served on a slice of pie.
The College Hill neighborhood creamery rotates its ice cream flavors, often featuring limited-time flavors or frozen treats like Choco Tacos. And if you’re not a dairy fan, Frost also serves three fruit sorbets in rotation.

Dagney’s Ice Cream
Salina
Customers craving from-scratch ice cream are greeted with a long list of available flavors, from traditional Milk Chocolate to unique recipes such as Eve’s Downfall, made with apple pie filling and salted caramel. Dagney’s owners pride themselves on making premium ice cream on-site with quality, fresh ingredients.
But why order a single scoop when you can enjoy a 3 Flavor Flight, an ice cream float or two scoops wrapped in a homemade waffle cone? Customers seeking non-dairy ice cream options may appreciate that a half-dozen flavors are made with a coconut base.

Indigo Moo’d Ice Cream may have a new location on Main Street, but they continue to serve quality, homemade ice cream to locals and visitors who drive from out of town to savor unique flavors.

Dessert lovers can also choose any ice cream flavor and make it into a shake topped with whipped cream. Enjoy half-priced cones on Waffle Cone Wednesday, and French Fry milkshakes offer a sweet-yet-salty flavor combo on FRY-days. A reach-in cooler is stocked with to-go pints, ice cream sandwiches and cakes.
