Chocolaterie Stam

122 Main Street, Cedar Falls

Gelato! Lower in fat than ice cream, gelato is a creamier and flavor-packed option. Flavors rotate; however, they usually carry white chocolate raspberry, sea salt caramel, and double chocolate chip along with a variety of other delicious flavors. They also have delectable chocolates, cold and hot drinks and their own line of bagged coffees.  Look for their gelato cart at local events!
 

Cold Stone Creamery

6421 University Avenue, Cedar Falls

Made on the premises daily, Cold Stone ice cream is considered a premium ice cream (due to its butterfat of 12-14%). The choice of flavors may seem endless as they customize your ice cream selection with an array of mix-ins on a frozen granite stone.
